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.

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.

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.

I owned a 93 land rover discovery and had random electrical issues. Put the window washers on and the blinkers would flash. Hit the horn, the wipers would come on. 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.

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.

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

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.

RR much nicer car- power, torque, massively more economical. We’ll see if its still this good at 500,000 kms.

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.

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.

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.

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. My city of 2 million people in Perth just got a McLaren dealership. Wasn't expecting that.

I don't agree with air suspension problems. LR does air suspension very well. Yes, You probably have to replace compressor after about 200k but that's not to expensive for what is provides. Maybe even more in RR because unlike in Discovery, in the RR the compressor is not below the car. Suspension airbags are very reliable in normal use. 15 year old airbags still working well and not leaking.

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.

@@eoghanfla6343 Seems to also be a lot of hate, and simultaneous love, from those who have had problem after expensive problem. Which is pretty much in line with what Jim said. Problems do not seem to always equate to hate with these. But read any YT comment section related to these and there very much are plenty of actual owners whose experiences turned them completely off them.

@@DiscoFang you have some fair points there.. The other thing I see are there are two types of owners. The ones that buy from the dealer at high prices and get them maintained at the dealer and then there are the enthusiasts and home mechanics who buy them at better value and self maintain. I think the latter tend to be the happier customer as they have gotten a bargain in their eyes. A second hand L322 or L405 are going to have problems but most of them are known and can be fixed to a degree. The Range Rover is by far one of the nicest cars I’ve ever owned and I enjoy every mile but they should not be bought by everyone, If you want reliable and uncomfortable buy a Toyota. If you want style and fear of fuel pump failure buy a Pajero. There are plenty of options out there for people anyways…

Can we please have a survey of the number of armchair experts here who actually own an L405? If you owned one or own one or fix them, fair comment. Otherwise, you are talking out of your ass. I own a 2014 3L gas V6, purchased new in late 2013, in Ontario, Canada, where salt is used on the roads from November through March. I had very few mechanical issues in over 10 years of daily driving, and its aluminium body still looks great. Here, with a set of Michelin Cross-Climate 2 tires, my L405 is unstoppable in snow and ice, or off-pavement. I have never been to Australia but never heard of a snowstorm in Sydney. You have a great channel here with excellent, well-researched content. P.S. Lexus SUVs here are regarded as reliable dinosaurs and the automotive answer to insomnia.

I simply do not understand how people deny these are one of, if not the most, unreliable car brands that has ever existed particularly when you consider the money it costs to buy one. Fantastic driving experience: yes. Reliable: the biggest no that has ever been assigned to something. Why deny it?

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.

I'm not sure what Range Rover model it was, but in 2022 I was driving from Karratha to Perth and pulled into a caravan park in Geraldton. A late-model Range Rover was on the back of a truck and the truck was pulling a caravan. The Range Rover had broken when it was pulling the caravan in country WA, and it was on the back of a truck on its way to be repaired. Apparently Range Rover was covering all the bills - collection, repair etc - but it was woeful end to the family holiday. I was driving a 2021 Toyota Fortuner - ie, a pimped Hilux - and I stated the obvious to the Range Rover owner - 'There is a reason why people buy Toyotas'.

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.

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.
