    Had a few range rovers, always older models, starting with 3.5 v8 classic so truly hooked. Just bought my 2nd L322 which is an 05 3.0ltr diesel. Absolutely love it in spite of the fuel consumption, which is way better than my 14mpg petrol v8 l322, so average 23 mpg is great. Great vid - thanks 👍🏻

    When I bought mine a few years ago the V8 twin turbo diesel was the one the specialist had least concernes about. I’ve had a few predicatable things which would have been much less pricey if I hadn’t gone to Newbury 4x4 who way overcharge, but no show stoppers … and having just brought this thing up from the paddocks today after pulling a barn down and carrying all of the necessary gear in white leather comfort … it’s the best car I’ve ever bought next to my S1 Lotus Elise. That has done 1 thing brilliantly for 25 years now … this just does every single thing I need superbly. 👍

      I'm near Newbury and about to pick up an L322, who do you use for servicing and work if not Newbury 4x4?

      @@cccxindustryupdate Hi, I haven't had to yet, but there are a few about. All I can tell you is that I'm still driving around with a squeaking serpentine belt which I never went in with, which has been off twice, and I gave up on going back again because of the atmosphere - the boss had to get them to take it back in the last time. They have charged me literally thousands, changed everything and not fixed a problem I didn't have before I went in. Choose anywhere else.

    I love the M57 and actually also own a e61 535d alongside the L322. Both cars have been looked after by previous owners. The RR has 310000km's and the BMW is getting close to 400k without any major issues. The biggest advantage of the L322 with the TD6, is the fact that parts are inexpensive and widely available if something does go wrong. Also, the early pre facelift cars have gracefully aged into modern classics Every iteration of the l322 after that just lookjs like an afterthought.

    an interesting thing about these is how many organizations use them. the police and the MI6. at least in the Bond films. its cool to see the middle class sector driving a vehicle that the wealthy also drive. its a very high class line no matter what year or who's driving. older ones look just as classy as new.

    Hey guys love this video...
    Back in August I was a bit stupid and bought a Vauxhall Vectra estate SRICDTI 1.9 On a 09 plate with tow bar as I previously owned a CDTI 1.9 With far more miles on the clock and it started my courier work so I loved it.
    However I then bought a Range Rover Vogue 55 plate its in very dark blue with two tone leather 3.0 BMW as you mentioned I still don't have trailer..
    Going buy todays prices there cruel I obviously paid a bit too much £2700 I do love the car.. But you get a lot of car for this money..
    Great video.

    Range Rover L322 turbos are not a body off. They are a unibody. The range rover sport. Is a separate chassis. Get a V8 diesel and you will never look back.

    In my experience the BMW era L322 (TD6&4.4v8) are probably the most unreliable! The td6 gearbox is terrible!! And the electrical issues are a nightmare!
    The sweet spot is late 06 to 09 pre facelift! The 4.4 jaguar v8 is sublime! And the 3.6TDV8 is amazing when changing the oil every 5k or so to save the turbos!
    The facelift 09-12 in my opinion is a bit too much with its LED lights and TFT display!
    But that’s just my opinion and any L322 is far better than driving any boring Japanese 4x4 or soul destroying euro box!!!

      Actually that was the first time I heard BMW engine was the best choice, according to my search 4.2SC and 4.4NA are the better choices for Petrol and 4.4TT for Diesel. The Fuel consumption is pretty eye watering though according to my own experience.🤣
