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. 👍
@@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.
Thank you so much mate! Really appreciate the feedback! The Range Rover is just such a great all rounder! It’s so surprising how much you can spend on a trailer nowadays 😂
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!!!
We agree the facelifts are the ones to go for!😝 I guess everyone has different experiences with different engines/gearboxes 😂. Either way for the money it makes for an awesome vehicle! Really hope you enjoyed the vid 😜
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.🤣
@@jujitsusti7719 I actually find most Japanese cars boring or look like a boy racer designed it so find they dont age well , you will find some car designs designs age well take a old porsche or a classic merc , dont see many classic looking Japanese cars that look good with age, dont look at a Honda Civic and think wow that looks like a classy looking motor , and also interiors are the same . Dont get me wrong I would be all over a Japanese car for the reliability if they did a classy looking one
Good content guys, I look forward to seeing more stuff!
I recently brought a 06 M57 L322, absolutely love it. They have so much character and a dream to drive
Enjoyed the video, very professional for a new channel. Subscribed.
Thank you so much mate! We really appreciate the support ❤️. Really hope we can keep the content fairly professional and productive 😂😂😂
Yes. It is the best Range ever 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼👌🏼👌🏼😊😊

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

Just about to pick up my 2006 V8, 120,000 miles. I previously owned the straight 6 model.

That’s our bad! I think we just went on a bit of a rant about Land Rover’s in general 😂😂😂Hope you enjoyed the vid 😜
Only thing with an estate car as an option, you can't get them in a 6 or 7 seat option
Great insight gents! For those in London, what’s the feeling about the ULEZ compliant petrol V8 version? 👍🏼
Thank you so much! Really appreciate the feedback!
I have one. Go for it, amazing car.

no both the 4.2 supercharged and 5.0 are more reliable
The 5.0 supercharged has timing chain issues starting at 80,000 miles according to my Land Rover master tech.
Only car could be a volvo xc90 or a porsche cayenne that could come close to it
Both very good cars! Really hope you enjoyed the vid 😜
I'd say a Toyota Landcruiser 💯👊
@@jujitsusti7719 too boring compared to these cars mentioned
@@josephgittos3787 is more Reliable boring lol 🤷♂️ really capable off road too these will still be going when all them are at the road side 💯

2000.00 on a 50000.pound car.is not that bad.when new about 80:000. Think about it.
They really are great value for money if you find the right one! Really hope you enjoyed the vid 😜
