You can't buy a £90000 car for £4000 and not expect to spend, fact. These cars still warrant a rich man's pocket to maintain them. If you only have Ford Mondeo money to fix it ,when goes wrong (and it will!) Look to less high end vehicles that are more straight forward and cheaper to put right! 😊
😂😂 can totally relate to this. Mines on axle stands as we speak. Shit your pants time when you hear the dreaded bong from the dash, instantly thinking “ How much cash is it going to be this time “
Bought a brand new Range Rover the publicity showed it going over mountains thru deep frozen streams etc etc - suspension went within 3 months after going over a slight pot hole in a normal tar mac road - phoned Range Rover after 2 weeks it was eventually collected they said it was my fault for abusing the vehicle but they fixed and “done me a favour” - sold it after a year lv never lost so much out of a vehicle
Modern range rovers are pavement and garage princesses. Land rovers were monsters off road until they stopped using a chassis-body system and solid axles. I have hit potholes in my disco 1 that with any other modern car would instantly bottom the shocks out and shatter your bones (slight over-exaggeration) and my trusty D1 barely felt it. Modern day land rovers are only really meant to be "palaces" on wheels and not much else.
I sell parts for Range Rovers (amongst other brands). These and the P38 are the two biggest money pits on the roads. Why anyone would want one is beyond me, but I'm glad they do as it keeps me in work. Hateful things.
Oh my, I had mine do that and it was painful to drive along the road. Turned out to be a hole in the front air bag and the compressor couldn’t keep the pressure in the system, but I laughed when your were driving it. I was doing exactly the same thing.
Just found your channel and i'm enjoying your content so far! love the humor and your passion! Keep up the Awesome work Tommy! 💜 can't wait to see what more you have in store for us! :) 💜
Great Video !, Absolutely Love the L322 & I've always wanted one gorgeous motors ! , but i couldn't stand the reliability issues, I ended buying a 2015 Mercedes ML W166 instead & after 4 years of ownership its been Brilliant never let me down once .
Comedy gold,just subscribed. I owned the 3.6 tdv8,costly mistake. Now run the old 4.4 v8,its gem,im down to 600 quid a year maintenance bills which is the cost of tax on those 3.6 money pits.
I am really glad I found your channel have not laughed so much in ages ,any thoughts I had on buying one of these has gone straight out the fn window ha ha ha
I feel for you I’ve got 3 range rovers they all eat batteries within days one day the dash goes from English to German the dash is forever saying there’s a fault. Now I just ignore the messages and carry my Hawkeye diagnostic and just reset all the faults. Very troublesome cars but I love them
Bought a 2019 Toyota Landcruiser 2.8 D-4D Invincible It was a nightmare from about 7K miles .... multiple problems going into limb mode when towing 2 ton trailer off road uphill resulted in numerous visit to dealers 3 exhaust filters 2 engines @ 28K miles I got rid of it when 2 nd replacement engine lost power from continuous limb mode when towing up hill. In my experience there's good & bad in every modern vehicle, just hope you stay lucky with your Grenadier. My most reliable towing off road vehicle in last 10 years PHEV Mitsubishi 4x4 , it's never went wrong in 170k miles 🤠 But I still have a soft spot for a TDV8 range rover 🇬🇧🤗
I have had 5 Range rovers and only problem I ever had was the heater matrix in a p38 every car breaks down and Range rovers are no different they are in a class of there own driving them though
I bought a 3 year old model. Had it for a year and had to spend 4k on repairs! I just bought a 10 plate for £4k and it is absolutely mint, looks like it never left the showroom. Watch this space.
Great video! I feel your pain, although not with a RR but with a BMW (aka Big Money Waste). I was contemplating getting a RR but you may turn out to be the best salesman for Toyota.
Dont forget the only sort of 4z4 Honda did the C.RV. mark 1 or 2 great cars and I mean great good off road and so so tough better than most in my humble opinion !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very funny video 😂 very similar to my experience with a discovery td5,costs me approximately £7000 in various repairs and had to be towed home numerous times, had enough and sold it to a guy who took it to the Ukraine to help them in the war, i pity the soldiers who were given it😂
@ 24:20 "Bad earth" is a thing to be aware of. You check it with a proper starter cable. Easy to fix, but can cause loads of trouble. Earth cable between engine/gearbox and chassis needs to be changed after 10-15 years. And _SURPRICE_ that can happen to any car. I do own a 3.6 TDV8 FF Range Rover. One of the best cars I've ever owned. 270 000 km on the clock.
Hi Do you need some great lighting for your car to light up the trail? We're the pro auto lighting company for nearly 20 year and we're looking for sponsorship!
😂😂😂😂 best car video on UA-cam and most realistic. Had a Landie that lasted 1mth. Rear diff sounded like a 747, wouldn't start then wouldn't turn off! Got rid fir a boring but reliable Mazda. Costs me hundreds & nearly runined me in that month of ownership! Got well acquainted with public transport 😂.
my black 3.0 is perfect no problems at all, only thing that don't work it the sunroof and its done 164000 miles its got a 2012 front end with HID lights I'm well happy
although I do agree that range rovers are a headache in that sense any car has flaws the 211 Mercedes has SBC block flaw toyotas rust bmw 4.4 biturbo tends to melt in the heat etc etc.....nice video though
What a genius this was wonderfully entertaining these cars are a true money pit unless you are oh so lucky to have a good one but these are like hens teeth to find
I actually need to tow 2 cars at a time so I've got no choice but to use a range rover. 3500kg tow capacity is rare. Although I'm going for a newer 11 reg on low miles with the newer 4.2 v8 diesel. I hope its reliable can't be getting stranded in Scotland. Only other option is a discovery or shogun and they are under powered
I love the snarky commentary. Some friends of a friend bought a range rover, I guess to make themselves look cool, and had to spend a fortune on it for engine faults etc! They may look down on my MG SUV but I'm the one who's been laughing.
Please enlighten me as to how the fuck "Service history" or "mot history" has anything to do with any of the faults with this car? You should go and spend £10k on one, use it daily as a working vehicle and come back here in a few weeks.
I love my HSE BMW 4.4 but these rovers were a lot of money when new and also a lot to maintain, if you change the trans fluid and filter every other year and engine oil there reliable, you can buy Chinese airbags cheap, there not the best but I've had them on for 2 years with no problems, there amazing to drive, and go like a sob, its a love hate relationship
1:10 - The truth of it right there. If all you can afford is a mondeo priced Range Rover, buy the Mondeo. Big complex cars come with big complex parts, all old cars break, and people sell cars when they start seeing big bills, and sensible people know there are more on the way....
I love this video 😂 The reliability issues are basically just god punishing people for owning pointless cars and wearing far too much make up and fake leapard print! You're an exception. Land rover fans defend the quirks and faults, on the old ones they defend the fact that the steering is worn out and call it normal. But really who needs a 4 ton vanity wagon? I think there should just be a limited mileage law on gas guzzlers, although logistically it's impossible etc, I mean if you have a big family and live on a farm it's different. I'd prefer this to banning IC engines.
This video was recommended in my playlist, so I had to watch! Never owned one but always wanted one.....but will never buy one basically because as you have really, entertainingly pointed out, they really are a freaking nightmare. Even with some basic mechanic skills it is still a pig of a car. Such a shame because it really does look stunning and the comfort is so good. Maybe, just maybe the clue is in your baseball hat. Buy a German car ;-)
Just wanted to say that the Range Rover L322 is no different to any other vehicle. Maintain it and it will last, abuse them and it will cost you. Clarkson has one and raves about it stating and I quote " the best range rover ever built" I have the 4.4 tdv8 which is beautiful to drive and surprisingly good on fuel. I'm not going to lie, parts are expensive but the one I have would've been £60,000 plus new. All I will say is make up your own mind. Great video btw 😁👍
Bought an L322 drove it for a week. Randomly cuts out. Took it to land rover couldn’t find anything wrong for 2 weeks. Finds out it’s injectors. Scrapped it
Had my 2007 l322 3.6tdv8 as my daily driver for 2.5 years, had 135,000 best car i have ever had and also my worsed. Got 20mpg round town. 25mpg on motorway. Trouble is you need to get one with full history and that has been looked after. If no service history you are asking for trouble. That said it did cost 7k in maitinace in the time i owned it. Would i have another hell yes. At 130,000 the turbos will more than likely go, so if you get a high milage one make sure the turbos have been changed and also the inlet manifolds, they worp as made of plastic.
Had one of these for over 5 years. Great car, but steering fault meant LR tried to charge me 3k to fix local independent did it for 600. Also had a Toyota Amazon and Air suspension went on that twice, both fixed under warranty otherwise cost would be over 5k.... Rangie was really nice. Nothing else was as special.
Great video and seriously funny, however if looked after and good battery’s they are a great vehicle (long term owner) although mine is simpler than one here, mines the older td6 BMW era one. Looking forward to more videos, always hilarious. 👍
Split me fucking sides Just been out to mine to fix the drivers door cable "snapped" untill this point the car was fine owned for 5 years its done a mere 135K nothing wrong at all !!!!! Fitted new cable re fitted door card and now all hell has broken loose no drivers mirror control ,no inside light, central locking has stopped ,wind in mirrors not working, Well passenger side wags like an egg cited dog ???? Then in I come to see this just made me feel as if I was/am not alone L.O.L................

@@kevinblaylock9883 that’s a fair point
It has the ‘split tailgate’ So you’ve somewhere to sit to wait for the breakdown truck
Its like British Leyland meets the technology section of Poundland.
Stumbled across this and loved it. Wish you would have kept then L322 for more comedy episodes
😂😂 can totally relate to this. Mines on axle stands as we speak. Shit your pants time when you hear the dreaded bong from the dash, instantly thinking “ How much cash is it going to be this time “
Laughed my guts out when the bonnet lever broke.

They drive them to the top of mountains so they can bump straight on the way down
My 3.6 L322 has been brilliant to be fair. It's done 138k Miles now, over 100k miles with me. Just maintain it properly. Mine's a keeper.
Really Honestly Well done and good luck !!!!!!!!!!!!
Mines the same. Love it to bits
Same here, will run mine as long as I can. Great machine
I sell parts for Range Rovers (amongst other brands).
These and the P38 are the two biggest money pits on the roads.
Why anyone would want one is beyond me, but I'm glad they do as it keeps me in work.
Hateful things.
Must be on the forbes top 100 list
Oh my, I had mine do that and it was painful to drive along the road. Turned out to be a hole in the front air bag and the compressor couldn’t keep the pressure in the system, but I laughed when your were driving it. I was doing exactly the same thing.

What a great video absolutely killed it. Was cracking up. 👊🏾
The moral of the story is. If you can't afford to pay someone else to shout and swear at it, dont buy one.
Well I've just bought a stunning 3.0 tdv6 so I guess I've got all this to come .really enjoy your channel matey.
😂 Class video mate! Laughed almost all the way through.
Loving the video haha, subscribed hope too see more hilarious
Love to hear his language when the Air Conditioner condenser needs replacing!
Love these videos mate👌👍
I suggest a Daihatsu Fourtrak next
This reminds me of a mate's '05-plate Discovery 3 with the 2.7 TDV6 lump, LS05EJJ. Too many silly problems. He had since scrapped it.
Comedy gold,just subscribed.
I owned the 3.6 tdv8,costly mistake.
Now run the old 4.4 v8,its gem,im down to 600 quid a year maintenance bills which is the cost of tax on those 3.6 money pits.
Awesome vid. Loved it!!😁
New here that was one of the funniest vids I have seen for a long long time !!!
Hilarious 😂 genuinely couldn't stop laughing at you bouncing down the road swearing !! 😂
That was funny.. enjoyed that.. so I've subbed. 👍🏻😀

That manual function on the that trailer was my favorite part of the video 😂😂😂😂😂

But I still have a soft spot for a TDV8 range rover 🇬🇧🤗
After 20 seconds I subscribed! Real world!
this is absolute comedy gold, thank you so much for your dark sense of humour, i hope we can get more videos ! :D

I once owned a Land Rover...i feel your pain. Buy hi, sell low. cheers

Surprised you even made it out of the garage. Mine broke down 7 minutes after the title was in my name. Stay safe out there
Safest car on the road... can't kill anyone with it in the garage.
This guy is a comedic genius 😂 how has this not got more views
mate, your videos are awsome, could you do a review on p38 range rover? i mean if you find a running and driving example 🤣
My mate has one it’s a right dirty diesel would make a great guest review

Used to own a 2.5 DSE,Jesus it was a right nightmare ...Literally waiting for something to go wrong everytime I stepped in it.

absolutely love yee videos tommy keep it up fuckin hillarious
Great video.
Awesome 👍💯💯💯💯💯 I still have a fetish for Range Rovers though 🥴
I have a TDV8 3.6 and I love it. It is greedy on fuel but is luxurious.
What a genius this was wonderfully entertaining these cars are a true money pit unless you are oh so lucky to have a good one but these are like hens teeth to find
Dealing with the dash fault codes is like playing whack a mole. They just pop up totally random and unexpected.
This is one of your best.
I could feel your pain😖

Do you want reliability or looks

Your channel is funny as hell.
just discovered this channel funny as f@ck keep em coming.
I’ve watched a lot of videos about RR’s. My advice, unless you have very deep pockets steer well clear!
I love the snarky commentary.
Some friends of a friend bought a range rover, I guess to make themselves look cool, and had to spend a fortune on it for engine faults etc! They may look down on my MG SUV but I'm the one who's been laughing.
I’ve got one. Bought it for £6k, spent £2k on it a month later.
Best Range Rover video I’ve seen.
If you pay peanuts for a 17 year old, high mileage car with a poor service/MOT history, of course it will cost you. Doesn't matter what make it is.
Please enlighten me as to how the fuck "Service history" or "mot history" has anything to do with any of the faults with this car? You should go and spend £10k on one, use it daily as a working vehicle and come back here in a few weeks.

The reliability issues are basically just god punishing people for owning pointless cars and wearing far too much make up and fake leapard print!
You're an exception.
Land rover fans defend the quirks and faults, on the old ones they defend the fact that the steering is worn out and call it normal.
But really who needs a 4 ton vanity wagon?
I think there should just be a limited mileage law on gas guzzlers, although logistically it's impossible etc, I mean if you have a big family and live on a farm it's different.
I'd prefer this to banning IC engines.
