Most of this is mainly because, as stated in the video, THERE ARE SO MANY DIFFERENT ITTERATIONS OF THE SAME CAR. This one vehicle has so many different engines and versions that you couldn't possibly fit it all into the same length time frame as a regular car.

I think the thing is with Range Rovers is that if you buy an older used one you really have to be an enthusiast. These are needy cars. So unless you enjoy looking after cars and take pride in maintaining them and keeping up their appearance I wouldn’t bother. This is a purchase you make with your heart not your head. My L322 is now 17 years old and I still clay bar the thing !

Having owned five different JLR vehicles over the past 10 years I can only speak of my experience. Always bought certified used from the dealer and have not had a single unexpected problem from any of them. Brakes, tires, and oil changes. Toss in a brake fluid flush every now and then and a battery after three years. I drive 12k-15k miles per year. I see many comments about Toyota reliability yet in the news right now we have a major engine recall and now possibly faulty transmissions on 2024 Tacoma trucks. My point is that EVERY manufacturer goes through problems but the proof is whether they fix it and make it better. I am about to buy a 2019 Range Rover from a close friend that bought it new. It is his second one and again, no major problems AND he drives his off-road in the Southwest going hiking and back-country skiing. Sorry to say but I am a fan of JLR products as it has never let me down.

[@dermotwallace5533]

I think the reason the exorbitant high price is only due to the fact that most of the serviceable parts are hidden behind the engine and it's often so complicated trying to loose the entire thing just to access a single repair point. This is the only reason mist mechanics charge so much to service these things. They're unlike the toyota brands where almost every part is easily accessible to mechanics. I love them though and seriously considering buying one but still a little worried...lol

Jaguar Land Rover's perceived unreliability, Toyota Lexus's perceived reliability -- as an owner of both I can tell you neither is true anymore.. Just get a pre-purchase inspection, get a warranty, and don't worry about it.

[@mwat22]

I'd rather be in a lexus than the JLR, the lexus shares parts with the land cruiser and plenty of people have them meaning cheaper to service than the RR and less prone to failing.

[@ridgefrost]

clearly u don't own either from this statement, even an unreliable lexus is still far better than anything that comes out of landrover, i have no jokes seen people take their range rovers back to the dealership for servicing 2 weeks after buying it

[@jamesdanton9033]

Perceived? There were protests in CHINA, the land of Tian An Men Square, about the terrible quality of these vehicles. I have owned ten Lexus's and never, not a single thing has ever gone wrong with them. That CANNOT be said for a JLR product. Their reliability is woeful and well documented.

[@nigel.w]

I agree with @papagen00. If you can get an extended factory warranty when buying ANY used large luxury car, you should most certainly get one, and that includes when buying a Lexus! However, it is true that LR products have many more warranty claims early in their lives than Lexuses. Maybe older Lexuses are still significantly less likely to have problems, but when they do, parts and labour are equally expensive. The big Lexuses cost a lot to fix suspension issues, especially from the LS 460 forward. And even Lexus and Toyota engines can have big problems. Most notably, the early DI 2.5 V6 is a dog! LRs aren't as unreliable as generally perceived. And Lexuses/Toyotas aren't as reliable as generally perceived. Those two statements are true facts. That doesn't mean LRs don't have plenty of problems and Lexuses/Toyotas don't have worthy reputations for reliability. What it means is you should get an extended warranty when buying both used to protect against the potential for big maintenance/repair bills. Moreover, there is no Lexus SUV that delivers what the big Range Rover delivers, in terms of comfort, luxury, capability, driveability, performance, feel good factor, prestige, or styling, let alone all in one package. Lastly, Lexuses aren't anywhere near as good as they once were. That's also a true fact.

[@roberto9666]

I ‘ve got both. LX470 from new in 1999, now with 470,000 kms. L405 now with 100,000 kms. Lexus not without issues, one that nearly killed me. Hydraulic suspension replaced with springs and shocks. RR much nicer car- power, torque, massively more economical. We’ll see if its still this good at 500,000 kms.

[@modmod392]

So what goes wrong with the LR RR ? Yes.

[@jimcoudriet9781]

I own a 2015 V8 Supercharged 510 hp in USA. SWB with autobiography interior. Bought it certified pre-owned when 3 y/o. Phenomenal vehicle. I drive 9-10 k miles per year. 75 k currently. Also bought extended warranty to protect me if I encountered electrical issues (mechanic recommended). Only issue has been a front control arm. I would buy this all over again. Previous to this I had 2 Lexus LS 460’s. Other than the electronics of the Lexus, the luxury is comparable and doesn’t disappoint.

[@nigel.w]

I think the key thing when buying one of these is to buy an extended manufacturer's warranty. That way you're protected from the potential for catastrophe. If you can't afford the extended warranty, you can't afford to own one. Additionally, I very much agree with Jim, do an engine oil and filter change every 6k miles and change the gearbox, transfer case, and differential oils every 25k miles. As far as the LS 460, it's also a very complicated and heavy car, and can cost quite a lot to maintain. In particular, the suspension costs a lot to fix when it fails. Sure, Lexus and Toyota have the best reputations, reliability-wise, but from the LS 460 on, Lexuses are complicated and can cost quite a lot more to maintain than most people appreciate when out of warranty. And not all Lexus/Toyota engines are bullet proof, either, far from it. Again, the key is the extended warranty program. Owning any 21st century luxury car out of warranty can be expensive.

Why anyone would buy a Range Rover when the Lexus LX570 exists is beyond me.

[@billybob1511]

Cause RR is lovely to drive and the LX is like driving a tank!

[@ryu411]

Because the people with the net worth to afford these barges do not give a flying fuck about 1) depreciation; because they can afford to eat the cost. 2) reliability; because their vehicles would have the warranty that covers any mechanical or electrical failures that may arise during their ownership period. Sorry to say, but the Lexus just doesn’t compare when it comes to technological prowess and the premium amenities. Yes, the Lexus will run until the earth has dried and shriveled up, but again, the people that can afford Range Rovers prefer the amenities, road presence and status that is associated with these land-yachts.

[@AWMJoeyjoejoe]

The LX is not available in some markets. Can't buy it here in the UK for example.

The best one was putting the power window down shut the engine off. Take finger off the switch and the engine fired up again. The thing cost me thousands in repairs, and I ended up selling it as a farm only vehicle. Damn I loved it. Such a good car.

[@nunchuckfilms]

Other one sounds like a Clock spring assembly - Basically the part in your steering wheel that allows the wiring to function as you turn it. My old Holden Crewman used to randomly honk the horn for the same reason. I was in the workshop one day messing with a machine, about a week after buying the thing and the workshop supervisor comes rushing up with an angry look on his face, my car was parked in the car park with the horn just absolutely blaring out.

[@nigel.w]

I have thought about it. They had a relationship with Honda. It's not uncommon to buy in consulting expertise from other makers. You would think they'd do it. One can only assume they don't actually care. That attitude is what did in their original owner, Rover. The difference is people continue to buy RRs and pay ever more for them, too. As long as that continues it seems there is no incentive to fix the problems. If I was in charge, I'd be getting in consultants from the Asian companies Rover used to consult to. I'd also be looking to change the suppliers of all electronic components as well as engines. And also offer fewer engine choices. The engine was the weakest point even when RR offered one model and one engine. BMWs fours and sixes, both petrol and diesel, are reliable units with good performance and economy. They could buy reliable V8s from Toyota, VAG, and/or AMG. And they could buy in electronics from Japan or even South Korea, both off-the-shelf and bespoke. And they could easily pass on the higher costs to consumers, but the rise in costs would actually be minimal. Sadly, Tata seems to have lost interest in JLR. And it also seems the bean counters are well and truly in charge.

Seems to me that Jim Hull knows more than most manufacturer-trained techs about most makes and models. You can't sue because you don't like clearly articulated opinions, and you can't sue unless claimed facts are in fact wrong, and even then if claims were the result of research and reported objectively without malice, you probably won't win anything. Also seems to me that Adam Morris does meticulous research to inform his claims and opinions. Manufacturers normally punish journalists/reviewers/influencers by withdrawing advertising and/or not inviting them to manufacturer paid for product launches, thus depriving them of content, revenues, and free luxury trips. As ReDriven isn't reviewing new cars, they risk little or nothing. Also, under Australian law, I think you're covered for anything you say as long as it's clear it's an opinion or based on experience.

Suspension airbags are very reliable in normal use. 15 year old airbags still working well and not leaking.

Very interesting to read Aussie comments about these. They are (or were...) very common here in the UK as they're relatively cheap and a lot of car for the money. A family member has one and absolutely loves it. He loves wrenching things himself so he doesn't mind the odd issue. We have a lot of independent specialist garages here who can work on them too. The main issue is how many get stolen per year here. They're now virtually uninsurable and people are canning them.

[@tsubadaikhan6332]

I can't comment on how many are sold here in Australia, but you certainly see a lot of these on the road. But I am not aware of any specialist repairers for them, and most workshops here use subcontractors for their electrical issues, which adds a whole other layer of pricing and markups when you get those electrical problems. All cars here have immobilisers, so when they're stolen, it's usually after they've broken into a house or office to get the keys. Is that the same in the UK?

@@SeaJayBelfast Sorry, haven't been here for a while. Relay enhancement car theft is really unusual in Australia. All States are linked with VIN numbers and such, and you can't drive to another country to sell a stolen car. It appears it's not worth crooks buying the relay enhancers here. There's been a little market in buying insurance write offs at auctions, and then trying to put those details on a stolen car, but even that market is tiny now the Police are over it. Police worked that one out after idiot bikies ended up in a brawl over a written off vehicle at an auction. There are some small advantages to having a small market and getting technology later than other countries. And there's a lot of rich people here.

I think it would of been easier for Hullsy to have just said their all shit the engines and left it at that as I have a feeling the poor bloke was starting to go stark raving mad with the issues lol 😂. Good job guys and look forward to Sunday's video as per usual 👍.

[@DiscoFang]

If you look again at that seat drop segment it wasn't sped up, it just had that VHS FF filter run over it at normal speed.

[@TwistedDonners]

@@DiscoFang I know but still slow in comparison to others they've reviewed lol

My parents own a 2015 Discovery 4 with 3.0L V6 diesel engine, 115,000 km on it. Our experience has been great so far. It had only a few problems and things needing change (2nd battery, timing belt, spark plugs, gear selector control unit error (a few litres of transmission oil were added and no more problems). No other big or small problems. I drive it often and absolutely love it. I also like the peace of mind when it comes to overcoming any terrain - snow, mud, sand, and others. Though I wouldn't own it as servicing costs are crazy expensive.

[@r.b.8635]

Spark plugs on your diesel???

[@nigel.w]

@@r.b.8635 Obviously glow plugs.

2017 is when the dash buttons disappeared. Awsome video. Thanks bunches. I'm really thinking about running down the Range Rover can o' worms.

[@GTFORDMAN]

ever since Land Rover/Range Rovers were invented you always needed to buy two so you could use one for parts!

[@AWMJoeyjoejoe]

There was a time, I think in California during the recession when they were doing a buy one get one free deal on new range rovers. 😂

[@kwizikle65]

I have nothing but praise for JLR products. I have had two discovery 2's that have done over 350.000kms each (a diesel and a V8 petrol). I bought a Ford Ranger Wildrack in mid 2020 new and it has spent more time in the workshop with errors and bugs, several transmissions, than it has on the road. Something goes wrong every month. Every time I tow the transmission overheats and loses most of the gears. So the only vehicle I can rely on is my old V8 23 year old Discovery... its a sad state of affairs. My brother has had 5 Range Rovers and apart from very small warranty issues, has nothing but praise for them. He usually buys them at about 100,000kms and keeps them until about 250+.He tows with them and finds them better tow vehicles than any Japanese equivalents and much more economical.

[@Holli094]

no mountain comparison today? my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

[@AWMJoeyjoejoe]

Why doesnt JLR just buy Toyota engines?

[@advantagemarine7305]

Man you guys really get stung on car prices over there. £20,000 would buy you a superb L405 in the UK right now, probably less for an ok one. The smart man buys an L322 though.

ReDriven : It's fair to say that the Range Rover (and its manufacturer Land Rover) is THE MOST UNRELIABLE and MOST LOW QUALITY BUILD car in the world !!!! Be honest with me....is there a worst car in the world currently ?!?!

[@michaelcrump1288]

I have had my 2013 Autobiography L405 for 7 years since it was 3 years old. I have reached 125000KM on my 3 litre Diesel, The only irritating fault is the top tail gate refuses to close on auto unless you you leave it a few minutes then the remote key will close it, but the top button only closes bottom tailgate. Mine is serviced on time by non franchise Range Rover garage at a reasonable cost. I love my car and will keep it at least another 3 years. Cambelt, Brakes, and transmission oils serviced at 100km.

[@curtissharris8914]

Had my 2016 l405 diesel 3 years now love it no problems so far. I purposefully stay away from the stealership they will clean you out imo. I do basic work myself or use a highly rated indy shop. Still this is not your car if you are poor.

[@caymanblack9567]

Ive owned Range Rovers for 20 years nothing is better I have an Overfinch L405 right now and love it.

I love this Land Rover vs Toyota reliability disussion. I drove a faultless Discovery 4 until it ate its crankshaft; a mate of mine had his LC 200 eat its V8 diesel. On a more recent adventure we had to leave behind in the forest a Prado with a snapped gear leaver cable. We had to source a used part as a new part had to be shipped from Japan. Fortunately my Disco 5 was on scene to transport the occupants back home 😂. Toyota reliability seems overhyped

We do use kilometres

@@ReDriven yeah but i hate using kilowatts because i play racing games and they use horsepower and it’s hard to compare power

[@antonimcmillan7096]

I owned an 2011 evoque. Thing was a nightmare every 2 months a new error would come up on the dash costing 100s to repair. Things got so bad that Every week I would need to replace a fuse for the electric seat. Finally It went into limp mode I spent £££ trying to figure out why, eventually I gave up up and sold it to a mechanic, the only person who wanted to come view it. But I will admit, it was a head turner and miss it. It was a bit like a really hot girlfriend, expensive, good to look at but broke my heart constantly.

[@jb7591]

If you buy one, factor in expensive repairs.

[@nigel.w]

Or buy an extended factory warranty.

[@jb7591]

[@Brayco864]

People who complain so much about Range Rovers need to just “get over it”. They are expensive £100,000+ cars and the servicing and repairs will match this. You don’t like it, then buy something that meets the needs of your wallet and stop wingeing

[@cunawarit]

Range Rovers are incredibly nice cars, they are arguably the nicest "normal" car out there. And by "normal" I mean anything short of a Rolls-Royce, Bentley or Hongqi L5. They are arguably the nicest car in the world. But nice and good are very different things, Range Rovers are very nice indeed, but not good cars. I love them! But I'd never claim they are good cars.

Supercharged Diesel V8? Not sure the S meant anything but it was a sequential twin turbo. Supercharged 5.0 petrol motor rewrites the laws of physics

Wow the Australian dollar must be worth the same value as Monopoly money 300,000 even in your money is ridiculous for a Range Rover I can pick a nice one up in America for like 150k or less brand new at the time of this video and I can get myself a very nice used one for for around 40,000 US dollars

[@JoeFarrell-e3f]

A 1980s 80 series toyota landcruiser with 350k on it is worth more then then this junk. Its one of the worst build quality cars ever, alongside British Leyland junk.but it looks pretty and goes with the fake tans, over white teeth and pink tee shirts of some who drive them.

The massage turning on after a while is not a gremlin, but a function. You can set how long after starting the car it automatically turns on. I've had some issues after it has done 170.000 kms, but it's honestly the best car in the world. Get the SDV8 or V8 supercharged. These are the safest engines.

[@nigel.w]

And get an extended factory warranty.
