    Today marks two my two year anniversary on UA-cam. My first video was with a 2012 Range Rover Sport so naturally I thought it was fitting to feature another RRS. Here, I try and give some buying advice if you're in the market for a used model.

      @@John_code Thanks for your input. Nothing worth having is free- and driving a Range Rover is no exception. If you had watched more of the videos about Range Rovers you'd know that. He is not keeping it a secret, he is telling the truth about people who want to show what they don't have and are cheap when it comes to service. I'd love to know if you had a first hand experience or if your mate from the pub who drives an astra g told you about the one time he red somwhere a comment on the internet. There is a man who puts his reputation and business on the line here and i believe him way more than some in the comment section. Thanks for reading.

      @@bertbertson23 I do understand expense its a matter of relatively overall , to some the amount to maintain this is nothing . I have friends who own and used to own them and I know their mechanics who work at Land rover and service them as well.
      They all recommend if I consider buying one I should get it new only.
      Their explanation is the way the car devalues and the expenses on it as it ages are not worth it.
      And belive me non of them are near broke. They just tired of having to through the car back to the dealer on a frequent. Sometimes people at land rover can't even diagnose their own vehicle
      Again I'm in South Africa and we go serious off road with our SUV , obviously if you going to use the vehicle around town and this applies to any vehicle, its going to give you little problems
      Genuinely wealthy people use the vehicle as intended comfortably and are not cautious about expenses.
      There is a good reason why this car can't hold its value mate and he can't compare a Merc that holds its value and is a much more robust machine

      @@HighPeakAutos well said fella! 14mths ago i bought the 2010 face-lift RRS Hse 3l V6 @ 103k miles with cam belt just done. Great service history.
      Re costs: I was unfortunate to have to shell out £600 very early on for fuel tank sensor failure. Just paid it and moved on! In no way detracting from the smile, EVERY time I jump in the car. Just replaced the pads myself. Noticed a wobble in the wheel bearing. Ordered a new one and going to replace it tomorrow! 4 new tyres last week. No regrets whatsoever! I'm not a mechanic but know my way around a spanner. I'm not wealthy, but a realistic.
      I've spent 30k miles, enjoying every mile. 4 hr journeys to Plymouth & Padstow just fly by. The seats (in conjunction with the ride) are the most comfortable i think I've ever had! For my bad back, the heated seats are just so good.
      My one downside- internal storage, door pockets etc- shocking! But then, we do have a fridge!🤣🤣 Yes, full Bluetooth is missing, but I use the aux input tethered to my phone. A realist finds a workaround! Never been happier!

    I've just bought my first Range Rover. It was a long time coming. In the end your comment: "What are you going to do? Never buy the car you want because it might break-down?" played a deciding role. I followed all your general advice about buying a used car. Bought from a respectable house. Meticulously documented service history and evidence that whenever something needed doing, he got it done. Some of the bills were scary but at least he paid them. And the radio was tuned to Radio 4! LOL. Finally, I didn't buy the cheapest one out there. I tried to buy a good one. It's a 2008 2.7 HSE which I know isn't anybody's first pick (93,000 miles) but all the above swung it over the couple of other offerings locally. So this will be my RR introduction. I might get it out of my system and move on, and it might be the first of many. Thanks for all the advice and guidance.

    Great review. I've rented a few Range Rovers in the past year on trips. Loved both! First one was a 2016 Sport HSE (Diesel). Last one a 2020 Velar R-Dynamic. Both handled and drove amazing. Interior quality, technology & comfort was awesome. The Velar felt more like a sportscar when I got it up in the turns off Pacific Coast Hwy in the canyon mountains! The Sport was a little bigger & felt even more "solid". Not sure which one I'm going to buy, but one will be in my driveway soon!

    I had one of these for nearly 10 years from new and about 35,000 miles if I recall. I estimate that I spent maybe £3000 on repairs (excluding routine maintenance), including a new turbo actuator and a new steering pump. Annual servicing was generally about £700. For Bluetooth streaming, I bought a Bovee device (£100 ish) that plugs into the factory iPod cable in centre armrest. Osram do daytime running lamps that replace the OEM fog lamps, LEDFOG101, and I highly recommend this upgrade.

    I came a bit too late to the comment section but, just found your channel, love it, so i thought i'd snuck in my 2 cents as well: I've had my '07 sport hse with 3.6 tdv8 for about 10 years now, and this year it just passed 320k miles. Nothing had to be done to the engine, apart from the exhaust manifold and oil service. Mostly stupid electronic issues but nothing serious, apart from the famous air suspension fault. The gearbox just started being a bit wiggly, but it's been over 300k miles so, not a surprise. It went through whole Europe, Marocco, and some other places that i can't even recall. Never let me down. It's been in the family for those 10 years and i'm not even thinking about getting rid of it(Who would buy a 300k mile range rover anyway?). Honestly, if serviced well it's a great car.

    You're one of the few UA-camrs who aren't trashing Range Rovers! I have a 2001 P38 Range Rover and the worst thing was a head gasket blew. I did the work myself because there was enough help on the Internet to get through it. If you check all of the costs that I have had and divide it by 19 years, it's actually been pretty affordable. As long as you're handy mechanically and go to the dealer only when absolutely necessary, you probably won't be disappointed.
    If you could create a list of used Rover model years / engines that you've found to be pretty reliable, that would be very helpful. Thank you for making this video!

    My brother recently bought a 2007 2.7TDV6 HSE, which I've been tooling about in for the week. My normal car is a 2018 Merc GLE 350. I have thoroughly enjoyed my week of 'old skool' - the driving position in the RRS is far more comfortable, it lollops down the road with its lazy 6 speed slushmatic, and generally seems more suited to de-stressing the inevitable congestion on the roads wherever you go. Yes, there are a few downsides with a 100k car - the suspension bangs and thumps, so some new bushes would be nice, and a few bits of trim are a bit tired, but it's all fixable, and not doom and gloom in any way. Not sure I 'get' the opening boot glass, and would rather have a split tailgate like a full fat range rover, the sat nav is laughably yesterday's technology, but no different to another 14 year old car. Heated seats warm up to roasting nice and quickly, and the fuel economy with a mix of cold running, a bit of motorway, and lots of traffic work is better than the Merc.
    I've been wondering what to do when the Merc's PCP finishes next year .... current plan is to hand it back to merc, and go old skool. I daren't do the maths on what the Merc really costs me per month, but I bet it's far more with a used Range Rover and a few bob put aside for the inevitable rainy day.

    I was that 🤏 close to buying one of these. Thought ill call a couple of indy RR mechanics to see what to look out for other than what I already knew.
    Both of them, who also own RRSports said basically they are shit but just have some magic about them so buy one, cross your fingers and get a good warranty. One mechanic said he has a warranty on his own rrs as he doesn't want to pay for parts when it breaks. Despite this I still want one 🤷‍♂️🤯😀

    I think that the "reliability issues" are overstated for jaguars and land rovers, with a lot of that being bad press from the mericans due to their different ways of using cars and ill guess that servicing just costs more over there, I believe that both jags and land rovers are for people who like driving and not just using a car to get from A to B and understands that cars have to be regulary serviced, thats why you see the old man down the street still has that 80s jag with over 200k on the clock and every other month on a sunday he tears down the engine and cleans it all up on his driveway.

    Qashqai,s are Renault running gear that’s why they break down, they are as much Japanese as the queen of united Britain, let’s be honest if you want to run a Range Rover and enjoy it to its full potential you’d need a good warranty or a few quid tucked away for that inevitable day when a light comes on the dash or the air suspension explodes
