I’ve had two of each, all were brilliant. The 3.6 turbo arrangement makes it more “thrashable”, the 4.4 is an easier smoother drive. Apart from all the usual stuff, on the 4.4 you WILL end up doing the oil / water intercooler, don’t delay on getting it done either

Excellent video cheers 👍

I've owned my 2004 TD6 Vogue for 18 years. In that time I've encountered and had fixed just about every common fault these amazing machines present. She's been completely re sprayed in increments over the years. All the usual rust areas (rear wheel arches, upper tail gate) have been dealt with. Chassis welding completed and under side wax oiled every 2 years. The vehicle is absolutely mint inside and out and completely original - no silly facelift front bumper / head light nonsense. I'm fortunate that my local specialist is also a Land Rover breaker, so they always have cheap second hand parts on the shelf. For example, last week the rear prop shaft was replaced. Part new from LR was over £900. The indy supplied it for £150 and charged an hours labour to fit. The point being that running these vehicles does not necessarily mean spending crazy amounts of cash. Regardless of the L322 spec or year, anybody who buys one of these machines for essentially beer money, with maybe 5 or so previous keepers and a sketchy history is opening themselves up to a whole new world of car pain. Just leave your wallet open on the passenger seat!

Great informative video, i want one, but apprehensive about some of the rumours about reliability.

Great video, with a sensible comparison, but I'm going to stick with my 2003 NA BMW V8 4.4 powered L322, for many reasons. I do all my own maintenance and have full diagnostics, so looking after it is easier. Diesel is increasing in price, along with related road tax, and is heading towards being outlawed, possibly before petrol. I run on LPG (mostly) so my per mile cost is about the same as a 3.6 diesel. Ive already owned it for 4 years without any major problems and have completed long EU tours with 5 people and all luggage. Finally, I have a complete spare car, so parts don't really present a challenge. I drove a 4.4 tdi and loved it but I'll keep my petrol.

Are you still selling yours? Kinda desperately looking for a good one....

Thank you. I've been longing for an L322 for quite a while and kept hearing different things about the 2 V8 diesel options, but this run-through has made my mind up. After everything you said, I'm actually going to listen to my wife instead and not buy one at all. Apart from minor stuff I can't do the mechanical work, so it would end up costing a small fortune whichever way I went. If I need something to tow my camper I'll just get something boring that won't give me nasty surprises. Sad, isn't it? Sometimes the head has to win over the heart. For the heart, my motorbike will have to do...

Hah. Just drove by my old house (Goudhurst)!

I'm curious how the sealing has held up, More of interest how the new Chinese covers are holding up? I'm worried they will go bad in the sun quickly with perhaps no coating or whatever they say they have? I guess you could spray the new ones in clear two part paint like people do which suposably makes them last forever... Mind you they are that cheap you could put new ones on every year or two. I've got the new covers... I am going to be removing the projector bowls though because I believe they need re coating (my driver's side very dim) I found a place to do it but they want pictures of the bowls first to confirm and quote

The most important reason for me is" reliability". I contemplate to buy a Rangie, but all the stories about failures let me stay away. 35 MPG would a fantastic consumption for such a powerful and heavy vehicle. Thats about 8,1 or 7.9 l/100km ( US vs UK Gallone) , which I achieve with my LR 109 S 3 200Tdi s swap or with the Discovery 300TDi Trophy.

I just got a clk 350 from a family member , the car was bought new in Cal. USA in 2009, it is a coupe . Has 74000 miles on it . I love driving this. You are spot on in the handling ! And here in the US. parts for it are common . TY

Cheers for making this. I'm going to look at a 2007 CLK350 this weekend which will be my daily driver. Seems the MPG will be as bad as the E53 X5 4.8iS I sold nearly a year ago 😅. Good job my current commute is only 8 miles. The X5 was my first and possibly last BMW, it wasn't the best of experiences. Anyway, how does the CLK fare as a 2nd family car? We have a Honda CRV for most stuff, but I'm hoping the CLK is okay at weekends with a child seat in the back.

Great video think I’ll keep looking for a 3.6 can’t warrant the extra for a 4.4 but that may change 👍

What about turbo problems some owners mentioned , here it’s a body off job ?

My daily is an F60, but every time I see an R55 I get a little jealous. I love these things so much.

Great video young man. Such a lovely car. I absolutely adore mine.

I think this guy is mad selling his CLK! I have owned my CLK 200K convertible for 15 years. Utterly trouble free motoring! THE best car I have ever owned, BUT I do change the oil every 5000km's!

I have a xsr900 and love it. Looking at this as a 2nd bike for taking the Mrs’s on for day cruising. Pricing for these have dropped significantly in the US

I got in touch with the dealer I bought the car from. Asked them to do the crankshaft sensor TSB and pcm relearn and it rums great. This videoi headed me in the right direction. Thanks again for this video

I dont pay tax and ive never had any calls

I've got the same problem you have but thankfully I don't have enough money to act upon my problem.

Great video actually says it like it is. I've had (all 2nd hand) classics, p38's and now an L322 TDV8 2011 Vogue SE for the last 2 1/2 years. This in my opinion the greatest car ever made. Every time I climb in with help of the deployable side steps I have a feeling of utter excitement and a feeling of well being. As someone who has had major back surgery I can honestly say it is the ONLY PLACE I can sit in and be completely pain free. Around town I get 30mpg and on a recent trip to the Isle of Skye 40.1 miles to the gallon.!! What other car gives you heated and cooled seats, heated steering wheel, adapted cruise control , great performance. The only time its let me down was earlier this year when I had non start and lots of faults showing, the answer you've guessed it a non genuine battery had been fitted!. As soon as I fitted the genuine Land Rover battery its been trouble free.The guy who services my rangy said it was the same spec as an original but sadly it was crap.Once you've got the L322 bug it is totally addictive.

I have a 14 GT when its cold i will get a P303 if i get on it flashing cel then after driving a while the cel will go solid. I changed the number 3 plug and coil. I'm going to take it to a dealership and have them to check this very thing. Car only has 52000 miles on it.

Struggling to find a good phone holder for my TDV8 3.6.. What is your phone setup? Looks like a good position. Did you have to drill holes etc with that fixing position? Link to where you purchased? Thanks. Great video.. makes me feel good I've got a pre-facelift 3.6.. Here in OZ car tax is the same for any V8 regardless of economy, so no real difference, and the newer facelifts and 4.4's are way more expensive than slightly older ones.

I have 2011 4.4 tdv8 - use it mainly on motorways and country roads but not experienced the smoke issue - it does get a bit of ‘exercise’ when the roads allow, I run it on premium diesel as I believe it helps with the DPF issues. Just added a L405 4.4 to the ‘fleet’ - I also have an old P38 4.0 V8 petrol, in need of some tlc now, but owned that for 20 years, engine sounds lovely! Best cars in the world I believe, each generation is slightly better, but any are great cars - Just ensure as others have said to have £5k set aside for unexpected repairs and carry out the regular maintenance…

What a character! 😀Thanks a lot for such an informative video. I wish you would do the projector upgrade as well. Nice work.

This head unit is not Android, but WinCE, and I doubt you got full HD screen. More likely 800x400.

I have a black one myself! Love the car

Well played, sir .. I've tried and (with a donor lamp) failed at this once already .. but next time, I'll be better prepared having watched this.

Would love to see your review of L405, preferably after 2016. Good luck!

Great video. I have just gone from a 3.0l sdv6 sport to a 4.4l tdv8 and love it. Unfortunately my sport swiveled its crankshaft bearings so its now spares or repairs if anyone wants it. About reverse in the 4.4, I have found the same. I had to reverse park up a hill last night and I had to give it the beans to move. I was considering putting it into low range to see if that made it easier. I do have a question. Obviously I have the LCD screen, I am trying to find a way I can have it in KPH when I take it abroad. I asked the question on a forum and they said to change my trip to KPH, which does then show the trip mileages in K, but the little digital speedo or the main Speedo is still in MPH. I cant see anything to do it and the handbook is pretty useless. I have subscribed and look forward to going through your videos and watching any new ones. Keep up the good work.

haha "how hard can it be?" our famous last words

I had a Goldwing 2018 DCT and it was one of the best bikes I owned. Traded it in on a 2023 1250 GSA. The second best bike that I’ve owned. The GW is awesome, just a heavy boat at around 950 lbs. The R18 bagger interests me. I just love the horizontally opposed engines! Going to test drive tomorrow!

does anyone know the relearn process full name, maybe i can hunt around and find someone with a good scanner to do it for cheap thx!! im having this issue and its driving me nuts EDIT nevermind i found it

i dont have a good scanner like that. do you think clearing the codes and letting the battery sit unplugged for a while will do the trick

Love my 2009 3.6tdv8 Westminster. Apart from one of the turbos going last year, it has been fantastic to own and drive.

Never get service at The Transmission Shop Plano TX. 1 code b4 I took my car their now u have 5 codes & still can't drive my 2016 Mustang GT No. 5. Clutch install doesn't work. Dishonest & basically sabotage my car.

Great video. From your experience, would you consider the purchase of a one owner 2007 3.6 tdv8 very high mileage (around 280.000 miles, I assume mostly highway miles) if it has a decent service history?

3rd option be happy and get the 5.0 supercharger jag engine L320 or L319. It’s thirty but is a tank, a fast tank on the roads. Major faults NONE. Just regular oil changes twice a year or every 10.000 km +- 6000 miles , keeping an eye on the coolant hooses that pass between supercharger and the engine block and changing tensioner belts every 80.000 km or +- 50.000 miles. Watching the fluid levels once a week for precaution and everything will be more than fine. No turbines to change nothing just a fine supercharger injecting life on the engine and roaring miles away on the road faster on 0-60 than any golf or mini cooper sport.

Have you still got the 3.6 for sale?

Fantastic review!! Thank you so much! I am in exactly in that position where I.m considering what to replace my Disco 2 with, which I love and have spent a fortune on improving, but it's getting old, (as in mileage is over 200K ) though I am still a stick monkey and love a manual plus not sure whether I'd rather spend money on it, like another engine or upgrade to a BMW 3 litre and have it all sorted rather than start again with another vehicle with unknown gremlins. Only real consideration is extra space, but IF I do decide to sell "Duke" and get a 322, now it will almost certainly be a 3,6 as late as I can affortd. I love your easy to listen to, thoughtful cadence, not trying to be a slick, scripted presenter but just matterr of fact and honesty with no axe to grind either way. I have enjoyed watching this immensley and it has been a big help. Cheers Guy

I was always told when driving diesels with dpfs auto or manual, apart from motorway speeds keep the low speed town driving to 3rd and 3000rpm etc.

Приветствую Братья😊 Я с России. У нас любят эти машины, научились их делать. Я сам приобрёл себе такой же, но ДВС 5.0 супержаржерд. Просто самолёт. Машина дл динамично едет. Но бывают у неё по мелочи проблемы, но не кретины, я люблю свою машину, как жену😉🙏Всем добра🙏

hahea fat and furious got me poping a snigger 😂

Great video thanks. My 3.6 does 25mpg average, mainly small trips and best is 42mpg 100% motorway at 65mpg. Do fancy the 4.4 however its the maintenance side that puts me off slightly, its the 8 speed box I fancy

The best and the worst Range Rover it’s the one you have. I love mine .

"Once a week I take it over 3k rpm..." What? Once a DAY if you want to keep the turbo waste clear! Might explain why you've got 20 mins of smoke behind you - my 4.4 tdv8 (2010 bought for £8k in Jan this year) only puts out 'a large puff' when I floor it. Think you need to increase your 'floorin' it' frequency.....

Hi. Im about to build one with a bmw 520 estate. Do you have any pictures etc of how you welded the caravan chassis to it.
