"Just buy the car you want and repair it when it brakes" I have honestly never heard this advice from no other car channel.....ever! and that's why I love it. By the way I will take a 5ltr in dark green with saddle leather interior please.

[@HighPeakAutos]

Its not very good advice, but if we all worry about breakdowns, we'd all be in 1.6 Corolla's wouldn't we. And how boring would that be.

[@kingoneeyed3433]

@@HighPeakAutos It's brilliant advice if you want to avoid driving boring hatchbacks all your life. Some of the best cars I have ever owned have been the worst ones.

[@EinkOLED]

Or buy an extended warranty. If I had to repair my car every time it brakes then I wouldn't drive it.

[@smashedcrabface8358]

EinkOLED Any aftermarket warranty you’d get for one of those wouldn’t be worth the paper it’s printed on.

[@LHRSBN]

Ask any AA driver/mechanic which cars ? break down more often, and they say that the RR would be top of their list. (AAA in USA). Even having an extended warranty, do you really want the RR to be at the mechanic’s shop more often than others?

[@grenvillephillips6998]

Just sold my 2011 4.4 and it was an amazing car. Best driving/seat position in a car I've driven and that engine is unreal. Get a 2010 or newer, which is a better Ford engine and you are good to go. Just make sure you service it and do jobs as they are close to going wrong and hopefully you can avoid any big bills.... and after over 2 years of owning one, still cost me less in depreciation, tax, insurance and fuel than my E91 BMW.

Quality review of a luxury car, putting everything into perspective.

[@qasimansari7540]

Hi Matt. Fabulous video as always. I really think THIS is the best Range Rover to go for. 2009 facelift and updated interior. Maybe not the supercharged petrol but the 300hp diesel. Full service history ideal with fewer than 100,000 miles done. Dream price would be £15k. True, earlier models you can get for under £4k but this 2009 combination is the best of everything in my opinion. Thank you for helping me reach this moment of clarity!

[@benhulme]

I just bought an ‘07 3.6 TDV8 L322 and I LOVE IT! Yours is so nice… and I agree if you smile when you flaw it, the smile on your face is worth the low MPG’s! Such a lot of car for the money these days… I couldn’t believe it. Mine has FSH and it’s wicked. Can’t wait to use it more and more

[@marcusnz232]

I've got fsh L322 4.2 Supercharged. It has 65k miles on it since 2007. The pre interior facelift that the one you are driving in the video has. The Supercharged engine is superb. In 14 months the only issue is a messed up alternator that needed a rebuild. Fabulous cars.

[@MilesV8]

Thank you for an excellent and very rare honest review. I entirely agree with what you've said. The key thing is to get a Range Rover with a really good and extensive service history. I have had a Range Rover previously and loved it. Yes, it needed maintenance but it never let me down. When the time comes to replace my current car then I'll seriously be looking at a V8 Range Rover again. I hope you've kept this one for yourself.

[@HighPeakAutos]

Thank you for watching! Cheers :)

[@Formulozza1]

Worth mentioning that Land Rover extended warranty will only cover a car up to 10 years old, which might explain why the previous owner is selling it now!

I still have an 03 V8 and it puts a smile on my face every time I drive it, Its been very kind to me on repairs costs and thats why I still have it. When the time comes I think the next one will be the 4.4 diesel V8 but that supercharged V8 is so tempting....

[@donlaight5943]

Great video, always loved the Range Rover but always had reservations when it came to getting one. Love your closing remarks about buying the car you want and fix it if it breaks, my 02 R45v6 is a fine example, I was between a rock and a hard place when I bought it, one owner FSH and only 68000kms on the clock. I've kept up all the servicing records it sailed thro its MOT and I'm in the midst of my 2nd year of ownership. Perhaps when I get bored with it I'll look a little more favourably in the direction of an L322. Keep up the great vids.

I totally agree! over the past 13 years I've had a 2002 and now have a 2008, both bought for a fraction used. I've never been happier driving anything else. people love to hate them off of hearsay though. I'm not a fan of the change in looks in 2013, so when the time comes, I may get a 2012. my 2008 is still running great at 155k miles though, so I'm good. my 2002 made it to 195k miles before I gave it up.

I just took delivery of a 2010 Range Rover Supercharged myself. Had it delivered to me in Philadelphia from Miami in good condition. I've only one concern at this time and that's the driver side power step rail is stuck halfway between open and closed if that makes sense. The step rail motor makes noise, but it won't budge much even with pressure applied after heavy lubrication. The passenger side works flawlessly. Will be getting it sorted soon though. Id been wanting one of these forever and I'm truly excited about the purchase.

ZenMinus yup me too. Had a slipped camshaft bearing so I pulled the whole motor out, took it apart, had block skimmed and heads planed by a machining place and then I put it all back together with new bearings and gaskets. Pretty simple old motors. Land Rover still making mechanics out of owners even now.

Good vids, enjoying this channel. There's nothing quite like a RR/RRS in working order, they are wonderful to drive. To be fair though, I had a head gasket and both cats go on that same engine in a 2010 RRS AB after 60k miles with FSH. People don't make these stories up. My 2008 RRS 2.7, again with only 75,000 and FSH, was in the garage with something wrong every month. Buying these cars is a lucky dip. My Dad's 2017 RRS has been good as gold, he's done big mileage with no issues at all. I went to the garage more in 2 years of LR ownership than I did my other 11 years of motoring combined, and I've owned 4 Alfa Romeos!

In doing some research I found that Land Rover has had these engines running reliably with as high as 620bhp, so this engine will be here for a while!. Love mine and I'm so glad you got to experience 5.0 and all the luxury that comes with it. Awesome review! Range Roveritis is strong here!

[@victor_y5083]

Hey @High Peak Autos, Running great so far!, I can average about 15 maybe 16mpg if I drive like a grandma and stick to the speed limit, but I don't. One thing I find funny is reading about the "symposer", once you hit 3,000rpm the symposer opens up a series of pipes into a resonator inside the cab that lets you hear that music that is the V8 reving up.

The biggest difference between 4.2 SC and the 5.0 SC is that 4.2 SC i much more reliable. 5.0 SC is prone to have timing issues. 5.0 SC is pretty powerfull when it works and well maintained.

[@unprofessionalmechanic8466]

True. 4.2 SC has thick walled pistons sleeves and no varriable timing and no direct injection which makes this engine whole hell of a lot simpler then 5.0 SC. My first LR was 2009 RRS SC -what a awesome car, second and a current 2013 RRS SC 5.0. Theoretically, if you buy one made in 2012-2013, there is no timing issue or if you had that timing issue taken care of, these engines are pretty reliable and long lasting besides that specific issue. I mran there is some plastic cooland housing that cracks but generally, timing issue aside. Its not like 4.2 last forever and 5.0 you will be loosing piston rods every time you go to grossery store. Huge plus of 2010 RRSs is fully redone interior, while it does not have gigantic screen or multiple screens, does not have interior like space ship like Velar does but it is awesome, high quality, modern and conservative and undoubtedly has all the infotament for the ride without iphone embedded in to dash board. There is no limit for better, better then better, better then better better but again - I have everything I need withing the hand's reach in my 2013 L320, very comfortable and ergonomic, kicks ass with 5.0 SC too. Yeah, I with it would be aluminum body not worry about corrosion, would, probably be nice to have 8 speed trany instead of 6 speed but like I said - There is no limit for better. I bought it Certfied Preowned directly from LR Dealer with extended warranty and "convinced" them to replace Engine and Transmission in 2019 before warranty expired, hopefully I will enjoy it for several more years relatively trouble free. Generally, if I could have the 2013 interior RRS with 4,2 SC engine, I'd go for it, add a bigger SC pulley if you want nore oooomph.

Another RR review? Yes! I was annoyed with your Landcruiser review. I have mentioned before that I have a RR with the 4.4 Ford Turbo diesel V8 and, compared to the RR, that Landcruiser couldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding. The L322 is an absolute delight but, if you're pulling a horsebox, the big diesel is the engine of choice. A much better tow car than the Toyota and just one of the most delightful place to be in on the motorway.

[@HighPeakAutos]

I agree! In terms of road manners, you can't compare the Landcruiser to the RR. The Range Rover is in another league

[@GeoZeppelin1979]

here is my take: people go on about how reliable toyotas are an all..............i had a 2004 4runner 4.7 v8.......it took u anywhere,was ballsy,hardly ever broke down.............BUT....................it was THE MOST BORING CAR I EVER HAD.....sure the 4.7 is awesome,but its too damn lazy u stepped on it and it was like.....yeaaa gimme a minute let me strech my muscles sort of thing............i drove my friends 4.2 supercharged version of the range rover..........COMPARED to the 4runner? it was WAY WAY WAY better in every sense,the response was instant,u could feel the engine,and the air suspension made u feel like u were on a magic carpet......saying that........would u rather enjoy yourself and live at the mechanics workshop while owning a Range Rover? or be bored out of your mind and never worry about repairs in a TOYOTA? i leave that to u ;) (i got blisters on my fingers :D )

[@johnmalin1676]

But Toyotas are even more expensive to repair when they go wrong, and believe me fella, I've heard some horror stories about Toyota and Mitsubishi to. Lets put it this way, If you buy "ANY" vehicle that is over 5 years old and out of manufacturers warranty, expect issues. And that includes BMW, Audi, Porcha, Mercedes, Land Rover, Toyota, Mitsubishi.

[@HighPeakAutos]

Good for you! Enjoy it

[@plbyrne]

Sat here in New Zealand - watching you drive through Mellor, New Mills and Chapel... great.

[@HighPeakAutos]

Paul Byrne Haha you’re right, well spotted!

[@ace3bmw3]

Fantastic video. I’ve watched a few of yours and 100% great so far. And I own 2 l322 autobiographies, both 05 td6 (cheaper tax by half!) and I love them. Yes they have their issues but as you said… Don’t they all.

[@kouamdieudonneBouquet]

Great review like always. Keep on.

[@HighPeakAutos]

Thanks for watching!

Here in the 'States, we tend to get stuff a little later. So they didn't sell the L322 here until model-year 2003. We also never got any diesels (and only just recently got a diesel option on the L405). So, from 2003 to 2005, we had solely the BMW 4.4-liter V8. From 2006 to 2009, we had the Jaguar 4.4-liter N/A V8 and 4.2-liter supercharged units. And from 2010 to 2012 we had the Jaguar 5.0, in either N/A or supercharged guise.

[@user-zv4cu9uz6w]

Your channel is awesome. I really liked your L322 5.0 SC. I have bought a 2009 one putting a replacement engine in it so upgraded crankshaf pulley and supercharger pulley. Have got reprogamable mapping, high flow air filters and the iceing on the cake a stainless exhaust with 5 inch 200 cell racing cats from Gureilla Exhausts in Holland. With the press of a button sounds like SVR. I hope it comes out as good as one of your cars

[@johnhaynes9910]

I always enjoy your videos, they are great fun. I'm no petrol head but I could hear your smile when you put your foot down from here :)

[@HighPeakAutos]

John Haynes Thanks! It was good fun 😉

[@musoseven8218]

Great video, good points well made too. Lovely motor, I've come so close to Range Rover ownership on a few occasions. There's a lot of perceptions (myths) about cars and car quality, it's very much like perfume packaging to my mind. Some are truly superb with lots of effort, time, expertise and love put into them, which you pay a premium for. Sadly, in past 10yrs or so other brands are less so, but they come in blinged up packaging. Land Rover has had it's ups and downs, but the decent models? Many of them are still in use and on the roads, plus parts availability is very good. As said in the video, in my experience all cars have 'issues', the OEM hype is basically snake oil selling. Funnily enough I see more newish BMWs and VAG products broken down on the side of the motorway than any other cars (except the occasional 20yr old Nissan Micra - but that can be forgiven for breaking down). For the first time I've bought a good quality warranty, three years worth. Why? electronics and associated systems, which can easily render a car unroadworthy and/or a write off these days, if such fails. True trim rattles and other annoyances may not be covered (and as reliable as Subaru's and SOME other Japanese cars are, they have annoying trim rattles from time to time), but the important bits are covered (if the right warranty is bought), that's peace of mind. I've never known, or owned a car without an 'issue' and it's refreshing, in its way, to hear that from someone who buys and sells cars. I hate it if a dealer says something along the lines of "......oh that's very rare that you must be VERY unlucky...". Point 1: the customer is not unlucky, Point 2: the 'salesman' is BSing the customer and messing with their heads. Sadly manufacturers need to smarten up their act and remember tacit knowledge from the entire history of the motorcar, but I digress! I agree, within reason (and budget) buy the car that you want as long as it's not death trap.

[@donovanreimer2324]

What a great review. Well done.

[@Stop..carry-on]

That grid on your face is infectious , makes me want that car !

[@HighPeakAutos]

Do one 😬

[@RevLexus]

Great video, it sounds epic!

[@robgibbsofficial]

Great review and awesome engine soundtrack💥👌🏻

[@HighPeakAutos]

Thanks!

[@spikemd1364]

I bought my 2010 supercharged this summer for a song. A local guy was selling and it was a very clean car. More miles than I wanted 108k, but at such a good price, I couldnt pass it up. Originally I didn't want the supercharged but it is a kick to drive. So much power! Had to recharge AC, fix adaptive suspension and a few niggles but that comes with range rover ownership. I have a p38 and a few defenders as well. Great video!

[@HighPeakAutos]

They're great aren't they. Sounds like you've got the LR bug :)

[@amateurtorque6709]

I really enjoyed your honest non American review of this L322. thanks for the advice of keeping away from the early ones with BMW engines.

[@HighPeakAutos]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Lawetet2013]

I love your very objective reviews of these older vehicles. Pls keep the videos coming. Wish you could review the avensis verso

[@HighPeakAutos]

Cheers!

[@matt8194]

Your comment buy what you want and maintain it persuaded me to buy a 2010 4.4TD vogue with full service history and 90k miles today. Thanks for the advice as it’s straight talking.

[@HighPeakAutos]

Congratulations! Enjoy it

[@sofalugger]

[@billmartin4153]

I own a 2007 L322 TDV8 in Australia. Thankfully this video is the most accurate I have ever seen on You Tube. I have taken ours almost around Australia, to the Snowfields, through the Murray River and it tows our 30 foot trailerable boat. I spend about AUD$1000 a year on LR maintenance. This is complex and capable and matches the Toyota Landcruiser in many aspects. If Maintained, garaged, driven respectfully and repaired early, if and when necessary, the depreciation over their entire life is more reasonable than just the first few years when all cars drop in value. The economy in ours is 1000 Km per tank and the torque enough to retrieve our boat on the launching ramp (3500KG).

[@HighPeakAutos]

Bill Martin I totally agree. And they’re far better to drive than a Land Cruiser

[@cagey1415]

This is amazing feedback. I'm having a pre inspection on an RR at the moment and I'm fairly scared but your comment makes me feel better!

[@nickpaine5805]

I've had numerous cars over the last 35 years, inc Discos, Porsche, BMWs but I love my L322 4.4TDV8 Westi. Drives really well, quick, comfortable and reasonably economical - recent 360 mile motorway journey averaged 38mpg. If you've got that 'itch' go ahead and scratch it, you might just love it and you're only here once - it's not a rehearsal!!!

[@Treatedunfairly]

How much did you have left in tank after

[@JGV_IX]

My new favorite channel! Great reviews!! Had I not just bought an X6, you’d have had me buying a Range Rover!

[@HighPeakAutos]

Glad you like them!

[@gordonwedman3179]

I have a 2008 supercharged and love it. I am the second owner and so far trouble free but the first owner had a rebuilt transmission installed for $8,000 Canadian dollars so I am rather sceptical that you could get a replacement transmission installed for 2,000 pounds.

[@2philly7venz]

Ok. I'm hooked as well. I bought a 2010 Supercharged L322 with 90k on it from Miami and had it shipped to Philadelphia after securing a ppi on it. It seemingly has quite a few options not ordinarily found. Power factory side steps with Range Rover badging, Black on black interior with piano black trim and also with a full leather interior, including the headliner. I love it already! Thing is, I always thought that I would. Thanks again for the great video and content as well.

[@HighPeakAutos]

Great choice! Enjoy it
