2002 vs 2012 Range Rover with High Peak Autos

[@vx4716]

Matt and Joel such a combo! i could listen to you guys for hours ramble on about range rovers and all the little bits and bobs about cars that no one else cares about haha. Great stuff guys!

[@itsjoel]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@RRPapi22]

I second this comment! Also, since they did this they need to go and do a video on a 2022 fully loaded svautobiography l405 with the 5.0 l ac 560 hp engine as its the last year before we go back to the 4.4 twin turbo 520 hp BMW engine 😑

"Buy the car you love, and fix it when it breaks!" Great quote and makes perfect sense for those who love cars and see them more then a means of transportation.

[@childofthe60s100]

And who have an endless supply of money, to fritter?

[@leylandlynxvlog]

@@childofthe60s100 No not endless just sufficient, or the skills to fix it themselves, as most of the cost of fixing a car is the labour cost. Running a car into the ground isn't really a good think to do. But I guess you could do that, would ultimately be a waste of a good car.

[@Lot76CARS]

Great collaboration guys, surreal to see two of my favourite channels at the same time. Between you both Land Rover specialists all over UK are putting food on the table and possibly with a bottle of châteaunerf du Pape…

Haha, totally underrated comment

[@ezrawhite8565]

another 2002 l322 owner here and I loved the video and have to admit, there is nothing prettier for me then an early l322. My office is in a very wealthy town and it always amazes me that my 22 year old range rover blends in to traffic so well sitting next to new G wagons, Bentleys, Porsches and the people that know what it is really appreciate it but it still manages to pull a big trailer in a muddy field a few hours later

[@bambychoi9366]

I have an L322 4.4 TDV8 Autobiography. It’s twin turbo, averages easily 30mpg and honestly couldn’t ask more from a car at this price point. It won’t be going anywhere anytime soon.

[@TheTobleroneMan]

Broken down again huh lol

[@ashfarley4133]

Interesting to see the two cars back to back. In my humble opinion, the pre-2005 cars with the square headlights and simpler shape seem to somehow have captured the essence of the range rover classic. The later model is undoubtedly a better car, but id happily take an early well looked after RR because it just looks somehow ‘right’, without all the fussy grills and the cleaner lines than later cars..anyone else agree?

[@indiebekonn]

Absolutely. A little late, but from the design perspective, there’s no comparison. Original design is so much better and more pure.

[@comedefleurieu315]

I disagree a bit, look at the first l320, you seem to have a computer in the central board, cheap plastics handles, visible locks on the doors, it's from another age...

[@simonodell2103]

Couldn't agree more

[@childofthe60s100]

Yes, the pre 2005 cars do have a certain look that screams "expensively unreliable" at you - every time you want to (try to), go out in it.

[@JayBrainstorm123]

Love all the range Rover nurdyness! I have an 03, 4.4 V8 (bmw engine). It's been well looked after and 100% reliable! People who complain about maintenance costs don't understand what they're buying. It's not a £3-5000 car, it's a £60k car, it needs maintenance which is going to be costly but not paying for the maintenance will be far more costly. Every time you get into it and drive, it pays you back! Such awesome cars!

[@lakeshorerides]

Agreed! Honestly I prefer the bmw m62 V8 as opposed to the later jag/ ford motors for ease of maintenance. There were some flaws like water pumps and alternators but always were very relatively easy to work on. They also were more reliable than the later motors.

[@benjones1917]

What a fantastic video. You guys work so well together. Absolutely love a Range Rover, I'm currently completely rebuilding the engine in my 1995 4.6 HSE and people think I'm mad spending more than its worth on properly sorting it, but I love it. Theres nothing quite like a Range Rover ❤

[@stevewhite1444]

Love this video and great seeing you both chatting Range Rovers. I’ve driven a few including the L405 and I love them maybe will own one eventually. And Matt you’re so right once you’ve dealt with the retail public you develop a dislike of them!! Working in a main dealer I couldn’t agree more

14:15 Massive respect lads. I was in a same position when I bought my first RR last yr

[@CarLifee]

I got a 2012 westminster great car and very comfortable on a long journey about the fuel economy I when on a trip to Scotland in it I was always getting 40 above best I got was 46.7 mpg that was doing 62mph I was running on V power which I do recommend for a longer run. I would recommend upgrading to a new one if your planning on keeping it for abit.

[@miamitten1123]

Can you believe 10 & 20 years have already passed since these vehicle release.

[@jfr55man]

i agree with the perspective on the exterior styling... ive had a 06 and and 08 and the interior difference is dramatic.... but those early bmw units had a better, more "timeless" look. I think that (given the relative cheapness of these vehicles at the moment) it would be interesting to see a later model l322 skinned as an early model.

[@johnathonandrew8952]

What's nice about this is it is just 2 guys who are having a chat.

[@ralphevoque5209]

I NEVER WOULD HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT U GUYS COLLABING , LOVE U BOTH AND YOUR VIDS.

[@Defender-Guy]

The 4.4 V8 petrol is a great engine, but it’s only barely adequate in the L322. The 4.2 SC is much better suited. I’ve had two 4.4’s (‘07 L322 HSE and ‘08 LR3) and my current ‘07 L322 SC has been fantastic, it’s got just over 330,000 miles on it and I prefer its styling over the newer full-size Range Rovers. Great review, enjoyed it.

[@childofthe60s100]

Hope you have a large disposable income - you will need it!

[@Defender-Guy]

@@childofthe60s100 Owned it for 3 years and took it from 280k to 335k. Minimal repairs. So I didn’t need the disposable income, which was nice.

I have a 2012 RRS HSE Luxury and love it. I just changed the timing chain at 156k miles. I have done some upgrades inside and outside and when people look at my RRS, they just can’t believe it’s 12 years old. Looks almost brand new. By the way, mine has a Bluetooth connection. I also upgraded to have wireless CarPlay and a touch screen climate control.

[@charlesmorgan8440]

I had an 02 4.4V8 in the same Giverney Green, but a Vogue. The seats were BMW comfort seats in that, insanely comfortable, I averaged 18mpg in my second year of ownership, driving it like an nun. I don't remember the engine being lowish in torque, but it was a heavy car. At the time it was the most impressive car I owned. At the time it felt huge, bow it looks average and possibly even smaller than an RRS!

[@itsjoel]

18 is about the best i'll average too. It's funny it looks dinky in comparisson to most new cars...

I just thought I'd say thanks again for doing this video, I've been researching these wonderful RR's and I think I now know which I'll be looking for in the very near future so thanks for helping me to decide on one.

[@samrodian919]

I've just driven the best part of six thousand miles in the USA in a 2021 Nissan ARMADA, with about 25000 miles on the clock when I picked it up, 5525 cc V8 lovely car, no complaints at all, quiet until, you floor it and you are suddenly doing 90mph, but having got back home to my L322 Rangie with a completely flat battery lol got it started with a jump, and went and got LPG as it was almost out( luckily I have a 3/4+ full petrol tank, as fuel prices went crazy while we were away for the month) and driving it is a total joy ( it's a 2006 4.2 supercharged Overfinch) hearing the growl that the stainless exhaust makes at any revs over 2000 rpm just puts tingles up and down my spine lol I paid crazy money for it ( not saying how much lol) insurance was a great deal less than I expected. The road tax was a bit painful after coming up from a 2001 Toyota Yaris but hearing you talk about road tax in Ireland and in Europe I'm not going to complain. I just love my car and as I was adamant that I get one with a good LPG system on it, and I did, luckily the LPG is the same price as it was before we went to the states. Compared to the increase in petrol I'm laughing. I still get horrendous mpg when I floor it, but fuck it you only live once lol but 80 litres of LPG is far less than 80 litres of petrol!

Being honest here, I have never really been a huge range rover fan until recently. Drove my bosses 2019 one and LOVED IT. The interior is beautiful and extremely comfortable, The suspension is to die for! ( coming from a 2009 A6 with air suspension ) but I wont own one due to the price of the things.

Hi guys, great video. Extras my l322 have i didn’t hear you mention are ; powerside steps, rear tv in the headrest and rear controls and radar on the cruise control. I personally would go with the l322 over the 405 but it’s what suits ya budget really.

[@robholland6460]

4.4 is twin turbo. One big and one small. Sequential like in the L405. Smaller, secondary one kicks in at 2500rpm

Two of my favourite KZbinrs - i love nearly all of your vids - it was about time you did one together. Next time get Jayemm along for the ride too ! P.s I also fret about the higher tax category, but you are right. It makes little difference especially if its a car that you love owning. Better to get something a little older that you really love and then spend some money to bring it up to scratch. Older cars often mean more repair costs but that said, where you lose one way you gain another. E.g. lower purchase price. Minimal depreciation etc. Its swings and roundabouts.

The 4.4 tdv8 is the same as the sdv8 - both twin turbo. Also the supercharged/autobiography has the semi-aniline leather which is much more supple than the standard leather. Standard leather has piping, semi-aniline is stitched

My brother had one of these and found that the majority of the poor-reliability reviews were correct. It was the biggest money pit he he ever owned. Expensive (very) suspension issues (pumps, seals, piping etc), electrical glitches, brakes needed massive repairs (pipes wrongly routed) - the list went on. It was lovely to be driven in but lumbering and stodgy to drive - after two years he bit the bullet and bought a non-Land Rover/Jaguar to tow his caravan. Depreciation and all the repair bills had cost him a fortune!
