[@snoopydogg1]

Calvin did they offer you the discounted JLR insurance with a 150 a month contribution?

[@philcross1057]

I recently bought a L405 and Land Rover refused to quote me, a 51 yr old male, full NCB and no points, South Coast location, garaged overnight, Ghost and Scorpion fitted 5k per year mileage. Go figure! 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@abua8]

I had to sell mine because insurance went from £1600 to £20,000… yes you read it correctly. £20,000!

[@AshMcFarlane]

because you live in London?

[@zxerhlox1702]

The soar in profit was all the customers who had their cars stolen buying new ones

[@statementleaver8095]

Yep The Truth is..... A vehicle on Higher Purchase or Finance is considered as Sold when Insurance pays out. Fraud in my opinion!! He who buys with cash will always be awarded BUY IT NOW instead of Forecourt

[@Crypto_Chris01]

Big problem in the the U.K. but living in UAE where people tend to have respect over the unruled U.K. there’s thousands of them on the road. So worldwide Land Rover seem to still be doing very well outside of the U.K.

[@a.c.4732]

"un-ruled UK" - ain't that the truth

[@markpierce8674]

Negative people seem to be everywhere Calvin I’m so glad your not one of them it must be very draining for them

[@BuySellCarsTV]

The key box/pouch is no good anymore regardless of the signal booster. The criminals now have a machine which unlocks your car without the key being anywhere near! Plug in device to OBD, 30 seconds later they drive off. Get a steering lock and an immobiliser! Great vid!

[@HasanMohammed-rt9ri]

Just get a ghost immobiliser

[@Rab_Cee]

They never need the key near the car. Its a relay system where you trap a signal on device from a key. If you walk past someone searchin they get your code signal then they can take it anytime. This cannot be stopped unless you dont use keyless keys. You can do this with a simple c.b handheld radio too n also block people entering ther car 😂😂😂 land rover owners will just be car jacked if they ever managed to stop people receiving signals

[@zakvincyyouth4346]

As seen in Mark's McCann video

[@Mac_F87]

Switch off the keyless entry, first thing I did when I picked up my Range Rover Sport. The car doesn’t send out the signal looking for the key. I honestly don’t see the point of keyless in the first place.

[@jono8606]

Remove a fuse, old school.

[@AI-Records24]

Also anyone that goes on about Land Rover in a negative way, hasn’t driven them. They drive really nice and do what they do well. I’ve had a few and they never let me down.

[@andrewp111]

I’ve loved the 2 I’ve had

[@fattyshtc]

Land rover was let down by the aftercare and parts market. Every part costs £450+ vat and is on back order.

[@Mac_F87]

I’ve had an L494 SDV8 for about 6 months now. A few little issues since I bought it. Common stuff like handbrake actuators and oil cooler gaskets etc. All stuff I’ve tackled myself. It’s safe to say I’m a Range Rover convert. My missus uncle is in his third, the engine went on his SDV6. So he bought a brand new Defender commercial and recently bought a 2020 SVR. He swears by them even though his second one was a nightmare.

[@karoln7078]

They got good at it because they let them. Their chickens have come home to roost. They knew security was bad but insurance were paying out and customers were coming back to buy new ones. Insurance companies finally had enough. Why people still buy them is beyond me.

[@jamiebray4205]

That's just not true at all. Security technology is implemented during the creation of the vehicle, which can be 3 years by the time it goes on sale, so naturally it means they are susceptible as the theft technology is advancing all the time. The security is as good as any other leading brand, but they are targeted by thieves because they are stolen to order. Insurance companies are running a cartel and are raising prices because they can. They need regulating.

[@mijr9075]

@@jamiebray4205both things can be true JLR and insurance companies both fkd it

[@Sacrifice-Paid]

Just wanna point out that Mark McCann has done a number of videos on the subject of Land Rover security problems, and how it could’ve been avoided

[@markburnett7461]

Whatever happened to putting key in a hole and turning it ,all car manufacturers have done is made it easier for the crook

[@a.c.4732]

pre-f-cisely . Why fix something that aint broke ? My LPs still sound excellent on my dads old record player ( 1960 ) modern tech ?? one headache after another q abuse ....

[@jacksonm.6549]

People have become lazy. Doing that requires too much effort.

[@broken12367]

Looked at Velar but the insurance was ridiculous. I’m 51 clean license and full no claims. The cheapest quote I got was just over £3k and no I don’t live in London or a city at all. I was told that turning off the keyless entry works and is easy to do on the Range Rover.

[@RHus14]

Insurance is still mental. Atleast double but also triple. Everyone is up but JLR is massive. Lovely cars but let's not play the issues down. The manager can say whatever hr wants. Comical PR.

[@Londonsfinest318]

I drive a 24 plate Ateca, first thing I got Seat to do was disable Keyless entry and keep my keys in a faraday pouch just incase.

[@Dino-qq2jp]

Nobody wants to pinch it - don't worry! :D Sorry, couldn't help myself ;)

[@mijr9075]

Nobody is tryna steal that shit Relax

[@ahwtrueno]

Love your positivity. Sold my Disco due to slidong residual and increasing insurance costs. But they are great machines. Hope they fox this issue as a landmark UK based manufacturer.

[@ekjambo]

Wouldn’t touch one tbh think it’s more jlr customers than the cars -think they are above everyone hil has a long way to being a prestige brand most I deal with have a bungee rope attached to the dealer

[@123MondayTuesday]

I would be interesting in knowing how much this software update reduces the insurance by? Probably won't make any difference

[@rxbby7317]

The second I click on a new video I instantly like it regardless. Standard procedure for a while. Great vids mate.

[@freddiejones4598]

James is the manager of that branch. Let’s just say his reputation proceeds him. No wonder he didn’t want to be on camera

Imagine paying a lot of money for your Range Rover, just to get it stolen by someone in 30 seconds 😅

[@1066gaz]

It's only a matter of time before the thieves will get around this. Manufacturers are stupid not making new cars keyed. We want OPTIONS on new cars. Keyed or keyless. Manual handbrake or electronic.

[@markpayne4067]

Pandora Car Alarms. Have a blue tooth tag and car won't start without . If car jack car will shut down within two minutes.

[@fozpringle1]

Its gotta have affected the sales if you cant get insurance, no matter what they say

[@gavmorris3191]

We have had a jag f type now for the last couple of months and love it moved from audi and dont think we will be looking back

[@madanto2394]

They should develop something that keeps the transmission locked in park (p)

[@AshleyDring-go7uj]

Well think Landover should do there own Insurance cos I can't get insurance under 7k

[@grahamavis6105]

Sorry its late in the day, but did they mention anything about residual value of RRS's? They crashed over the New Year/early 2024 by 50% so will the value come back?

[@philliprobertlawman2232]

Be careful with the Faraday key pouches, they fk out quite quickly, tested mine when it arrived all good, tested again in around 3mths later not working 😕

[@Nadfab]

Sorry I dont agree... My svr was immaculate My insurance went up from £1100 to £3800..(clean licence driving for 35yrs) I lost 30k in 2 years..NOBODY WANTED TO BUY IT!!!.The problem has not been fixed.THEY ARE WORKING ON IT...

[@j15ttj]

Record profits last year probably due to the number of thefts and insurance payouts meaning people buy another. Unsure if new update will really work alot seam to be going without boosting key signals now.

[@A12UNB4L]

Does anyone know what year of car this recall is extended to?

[@JamesMonty]

Fair enough posting the video, and I think I’m time the theft issues will be resolved to a point they are just as vulnerable as any other manufacturers. However I don’t buy into the idea that you won’t have problems with them, you seem to be lucky but they are notoriously unreliable, I know people who work within the dealerships and there are a lot of issues! I would not buy one for that reason alone. However they do build some cool cars, and hope they get these issues sorted. I seem to remember a period on Mercs being known as horrendously unreliable but seem to be back on track. It’s all interesting stuff though 👍

[@krupauk]

Being a Ford owner, keys in tinfoil or faraday pouch, these things need to be sorted by the manufacturer we should not need to go spend extra on security

[@uktech]

The Dealership is independently run 🙄

[@Sh0TeRzZ]

Why not just fit a factory ghost and get the customer to choose code upon purchase.

[@DannySmith-ez2yb]

Wrap ya keys in some tin foil works a treat ! Creates a Barrier so they can’t pick ya signal up from your fob …. Just try it calv … wrap your key fob in tinfoil and try and open your car .. let me know how you get on

[@JD-kp6ev]

JLR would probably want it known that it isn’t actually a recall which is a specific official thing but a security enhancement I believe they call it

[@michaelhammond9996]

Get you're self a ghost Immobiliser problem solved

[@adamfirth4199]

im not going to lie Calvin, i love land rovers and have slagged them off in your comments on other videos!

[@adam.677]

You don't need permission to video things in public 😂 go and live in China if that's what you want

[@markbuhler5721]

James enjoyed your video, I’ve owned Range Rovers for over 20 years. My 2018 RR Autobiography full size was £800 a year to insure. My latest RR HSE full size new shape delivered March 2023, beautiful car, insurance £2600. This March my existing insurer wanted over £10k . I’m currently insured with RR insurance at £420 per month. Within an hour of my new insurance I got a security recall from RR for an update. Spent the afternoon on hold with Landrover remote without getting to speak to anyone. Eventually had the security update done last week at a dealership near our house in Cornwall (we live in London) . I cannot speak more highly of the car but the value has dropped off a cliff, instead of having a premium from being an early order and the insurance is a nightmare. I don’t leave this car at the airport like my previous new RR’s and think carefully where I’m going and where I can park with this new model. I now use a steering lock. Feel very let down by Landrover, if the new models aren’t affected why the insurance companies running away from these cars?

[@markbuhler5721]

Oops sorry Calvin , I know you’re not called James !!

[@user-wl8qb3zq4u]

Awesome video calv.makes my days easier!

[@Rab_Cee]

People can still get your signal when you lock or open your car 😂😂😂 all the updates in the world won't stop relay theft. The problem is the signal is accessible from anthing near when your key is active. An nfc tag is safer than keyless keys

[@qfx125]

[@imrana2077]

Correct , repeater needed obd and scanning the car itself seems be the new way

You know they could have just disabled the keyless entry system, job done. Instead of praising them, you should be tearing them a new one. Its not like people didnt predict cars would be easier to rob with keyless entry , like Duuuuh.

The manager, as an ambassador for JLR is missing a trick in not endorsing his brand on camera. The disguised voice makes him seem dodgy.

[@CalvinsCarDiary]

That’s my fault I apologise. He’s not dodgy at all he was a true gent and a great representative of the brand. He was extremely polite and accommodating but didn’t want to come on camera purely out of respect to the above which I rate.
