"Just buy the car you want and repair it when it brakes" I have honestly never heard this advice from no other car channel.....ever! and that's why I love it. By the way I will take a 5ltr in dark green with saddle leather interior please.
Its not very good advice, but if we all worry about breakdowns, we'd all be in 1.6 Corolla's wouldn't we. And how boring would that be.
@@HighPeakAutos It's brilliant advice if you want to avoid driving boring hatchbacks all your life. Some of the best cars I have ever owned have been the worst ones.
Or buy an extended warranty. If I had to repair my car every time it brakes then I wouldn't drive it.
EinkOLED Any aftermarket warranty you’d get for one of those wouldn’t be worth the paper it’s printed on.
Ask any AA driver/mechanic which cars ? break down more often, and they say that the RR would be top of their list. (AAA in USA). Even having an extended warranty, do you really want the RR to be at the mechanic’s shop more often than others?
May I just express my appreciation for the fact that the channel is whoop-free and I sincerely hope the decorum will continue.
That's the most fair and interesting RR review, that I've seen in a while. Superb work.
Thanks! It wasn't as thorough as it could be but I didn't want it to go on for hours haha
@@HighPeakAutos It was Bob on!! Take care dude.
Love these range rover videos , as a fifteen year old Land Rover nerd these videos make me happy with all the depression from school ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for watching! :)
don’t feel depressed buddy control yourself and enjoy day by day .
Don’t worry. You’re not the only car nerd at school!
I'm a car nerd too I'm in the 6th grade I'm the biggest bmw fan ever
“I didn’t know I needed a leather headlining until today” haha classic
Louis James 😂
Just sold my 2011 4.4 and it was an amazing car. Best driving/seat position in a car I've driven and that engine is unreal. Get a 2010 or newer, which is a better Ford engine and you are good to go. Just make sure you service it and do jobs as they are close to going wrong and hopefully you can avoid any big bills.... and after over 2 years of owning one, still cost me less in depreciation, tax, insurance and fuel than my E91 BMW.
I have 2013 L320 RRS SC 5.0, puts smile on my face every time I step on it.
Thank you! I am a proud owner of three l322's... i cannot let go one of them... daily driver, work horse, offroader and grand tourer... what a great car!
gotta admit you almost convinced me... and i am surprised how not-insanely-aged the interior looks, it has aged well so far
Quality review of a luxury car, putting everything into perspective.
I’ve been a Land Rover fan all my life, having owned many, now I’m considering buying an L322 4.4 tdV8 or maybe a L405 3.0 tdV6 if I could afford one, and great reviews like this are really helpful, thanks for taking the time to do them 😀
WHAT A CAR!!!! Love it. For a 2009 RR the interior is just stunning. In fact it looks astonishing inside and out. If I was in the market for a big 4 x 4 I would have one in a heartbeat. Thanks for an excellent informative upload as per usual Sir!
It looks like you’re driving a living room from that angle 😂 I love it
Haha I know
Watching this one again! Yes, buy an L322! Love them! My 2020 is nice but IMO L322 is just perfection! Happy Friday! Cheers!
Thank you for an excellent and very rare honest review. I entirely agree with what you've said. The key thing is to get a Range Rover with a really good and extensive service history.
I have had a Range Rover previously and loved it. Yes, it needed maintenance but it never let me down.
When the time comes to replace my current car then I'll seriously be looking at a V8 Range Rover again. I hope you've kept this one for yourself.
Thank you for watching! Cheers :)
Another great review. Definitely food for thought. Thank you
12:49 - best advice one can ever give or hear regarding cars. Golden advice. 🏆
I've got fsh L322 4.2 Supercharged. It has 65k miles on it since 2007. The pre interior facelift that the one you are driving in the video has. The Supercharged engine is superb. In 14 months the only issue is a messed up alternator that needed a rebuild. Fabulous cars.
4.2 supercharged engine is bulletproof...5.0 not so..even on the late svr still has engine problems
My l3204.2 supercharged done 300k now an still going strong 😊
Hi Matt. Fabulous video as always. I really think THIS is the best Range Rover to go for. 2009 facelift and updated interior. Maybe not the supercharged petrol but the 300hp diesel. Full service history ideal with fewer than 100,000 miles done. Dream price would be £15k. True, earlier models you can get for under £4k but this 2009 combination is the best of everything in my opinion. Thank you for helping me reach this moment of clarity!
I love your attitude to a used car. Everything does break from a car the a house hold appliance it is what it is. Keep doing what your doing please you seam to be the most honest used car salesman Iv ever seen.
Well done. A honest review with failing parts and mpg. This is a definite helpful vlog for a clever buyer, to keep aside few grands for maintenance and then purchase their DREAM Car which has the highest Luxury, comfort, power n off road capabilities with the Solid Brand Image.
Thanks
Good review keep the vids coming!
This and a TD5 110 would be the perfect garage combo for me.
The myth about P38’s and head gaskets is just a myth....
I just bought a 2010 vogue.. love it. Thanks for the videos definitely helped me make my decision easier. Box service next.
Cheers! Enjoy your new car :)
I just bought an ‘07 3.6 TDV8 L322 and I LOVE IT! Yours is so nice… and I agree if you smile when you flaw it, the smile on your face is worth the low MPG’s! Such a lot of car for the money these days… I couldn’t believe it. Mine has FSH and it’s wicked. Can’t wait to use it more and more
Never seen you smile as much in a review looks like you really enjoyed that car 👍
mouseburger17 Haha thanks
Worth mentioning that Land Rover extended warranty will only cover a car up to 10 years old, which might explain why the previous owner is selling it now!
I know for a fact this one is eligible for at least another year but good point
Only cover up to ,100,000
I've arrived in mine loads of times pmsl
@@HighPeakAutos warranty no longer covers snapped crank
What a car! My mates, neighbours, second cousins friend had one of these.......
.... He loved it!!!! 😁
Haha pleased to hear it!! :)
Excellent review and advice sir, thank you. When I can afford one, I'll come and see you!
Yes, Yes, YES! Never say no to an L322! This video keeps appearing on my to watch list and I watch it again and again! Love your reviews! Keep it up. Looking for the next one!!
Yes! Thank you!
Amazing review.. I have the same RR as you have in the video.. I love it. Everyone asks the same questions about it. So annoying.
Thank goodness for another RR review I was getting worried my favourite channel may have developed early signs of Cruiserites.
Haha NEVER!
I still have an 03 V8 and it puts a smile on my face every time I drive it, Its been very kind to me on repairs costs and thats why I still have it. When the time comes I think the next one will be the 4.4 diesel V8 but that supercharged V8 is so tempting....
You nailed it. I’m here in USA seriously considering a 2010-2012 HSE Supercharged. Why I’m here. Great reviews!
I just took delivery of a 2010 Range Rover Supercharged myself. Had it delivered to me in Philadelphia from Miami in good condition. I've only one concern at this time and that's the driver side power step rail is stuck halfway between open and closed if that makes sense. The step rail motor makes noise, but it won't budge much even with pressure applied after heavy lubrication. The passenger side works flawlessly. Will be getting it sorted soon though. Id been wanting one of these forever and I'm truly excited about the purchase.
Finally ,someone who knows what a Range Rover is ,👍😊
This comes as perfect timing as I'm looking to get a Range/similar
Don't! Unless you like your name on the waiting list at the repair shop, while you enjoy your leather and luxury in your broken Range, sitting in your parking lot.
@@grigoreborota2776 😴 It's a second hand/ used car...of course you'll have a few issues with it. Just because it has A RR badge doesn't make it any different than my 04 Octavia that had turbo, intercooler, exhaust and gearbox issues to name a few. You live once so might as well buy the car you want!
@bill Bloggs Think I'd go for the 4.2 SC instead of the big 5.0 just so I get 24mpg or be somewhat sensible and get either a 3.6 or 4. 4 TDV8. I don't do that many miles so it wouldnt bother me so much
Great video, always loved the Range Rover but always had reservations when it came to getting one.
Love your closing remarks about buying the car you want and fix it if it breaks, my 02 R45v6 is a fine example, I was between a rock and a hard place when I bought it, one owner FSH and only 68000kms on the clock. I've kept up all the servicing records it sailed thro its MOT and I'm in the midst of my 2nd year of ownership. Perhaps when I get bored with it I'll look a little more favourably in the direction of an L322. Keep up the great vids.
Simply brilliant advice, you are such a genuine, professional motor industry person. Massive respect. 👍
Thank you! I appreciate it :)
In your first ever video you gave similar advice about the RRSport and based on that I went out and bought one, I’ve always loved them, I love mine and haven’t looked back since! “Buy what you want and fix it when it breaks” tick! Another great review, thank you Matt.
Really? Pleased to hear it! I don't know if its great advice, but thats what I've always done and I've never gone too far wrong. Life is too short to drive an old Corolla
Great review as I knew it would be. The high point for me was the reference to Mrs. Bucket.
Haha Cheers :)
I totally agree! over the past 13 years I've had a 2002 and now have a 2008, both bought for a fraction used. I've never been happier driving anything else. people love to hate them off of hearsay though. I'm not a fan of the change in looks in 2013, so when the time comes, I may get a 2012. my 2008 is still running great at 155k miles though, so I'm good. my 2002 made it to 195k miles before I gave it up.
Great review chilled and honest 👍 excellent
I've been a UA-cam 'watcher' for years but your videos have left me no option but to sign up lol, great videos. I have been trying to convince myself to jump in and buy a RRS for a few months and after hours of reading reviews and watching your videos bought a 2008 HSE last month and I love it, thanks 👍🏼👍🏼. Keep the Range Rover reviews coming 😃😃😃
Thanks for that! Really appreciate it :)
"your seats make a funny noise" I'm laughing, thank you.
Daniel Marshall 😂 Thanks
Fantastic review! Thanks. Don’t stop giving LR-reviews. Looking forward to enjoy a 2016 Evoque TD4 HSE Dynamic Blackpack review which is in my opinion the most beautiful peace of work ever manufactured 👍🏼😉
Good choice!
Love watching you floor that beautiful 5L supercharged V8 and the grin on your face 😂
I had an old p38 that blew its head gasket 😂 - still loved it.
Haha me too! A 4.0SE
High Peak Autos and me 😂 lol
Me too, but I fixed it myself! I has the heads reconditioned and the injectors service by those that do that kind of work, but all the rest was simple disassembly and reassembly, nothing too difficult.
ZenMinus yup me too. Had a slipped camshaft bearing so I pulled the whole motor out, took it apart, had block skimmed and heads planed by a machining place and then I put it all back together with new bearings and gaskets. Pretty simple old motors. Land Rover still making mechanics out of owners even now.
Agreed. I still love mine. It looks like a Rangie. Not an identical Silhouette; they all look the same now. I inadvertently insulted a friend recently by asking why he bought an Evoque ... he told me it was a Velar. He hasn't spoken since !!
Comment of the Week: My cousin's neighbours friend had to sell his kid in order to get it through its MOT !!!!! 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁 Always watch your vids Monday morning before I set off for work, and comments like that keep me smiling all day long 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌 Reg`s Steve.
stevie 007 😂 Thanks for watching!
Great good to hear, a lot more uplifting, well I have a TVR so I know all about it,,,,and now I'm going to buy one.
Great to see your passion for these cars
I think you might keep it :)
The smiling school boys fascination with buttons and switches :)
Great review
Cheers!
If you can find a land cruiser 200 series around, do a review. Would love to hear your thoughts!
MaasaiGainz On Cars definitely 😉
Simply the best 4x4 ever I love mine ! range rover ticks every box but its unreliable money pit !
Great video. I've had many Range Rovers and currently have a 2010 5.0 Supercharged Autobiography identical to yours but with a Prins LPG conversion. It is by far the best RR I've owned for comfort, power & running costs. The conversion is expensive but I bought mine already converted and would highly recommend it. Absolutely love the ridiculous power and I get the same silly grin when I floor it. Keep up the good work with the videos. Cheers. Gordon
Cheers Gordon, they're great cars aren't they :)
Hi how much did they charge for a lpg conversion cheers Gordon
@@Jpcars636 I think it was around £4k. It pays for itself in around 15-16k miles. After that you’re on half price fuel.
@@thegordywwilson8225 thanks jay
What a car.... and your review only serves to breed ownership desire for this slice of automotive amourousness...WELL DONE SIR!!!
Thanks!
Another awesome video from one of the most entertaining car youtubers.
Thanks!
I've had both the L322 and the L405 and after going from L322 to L405, I am back to an L322.... There really is nothing like an L322.
Can I ask why? I'm planning on either buying an 2012 L322 or an L405. Having tried both I'm kind of happier in the L322 but my rationale wants the L405.
L4005 doesn’t have the regal presence of the L322. It’s curvy, glitzy and feminine. While the L322 is a sophisticated brute.
Hahahaha this is great! I was waiting for a while for you to acquire a 5.0 supercharged monster Rover! I got the same grin the first time I drove mine, I bought it with a full warranty to take care of the timing chain issue when it arises (they won't do anything even tho I showed them the TSB). In doing some research I found that Land Rover has had these engines running reliably with as high as 620bhp, so this engine will be here for a while!.
Love mine and I'm so glad you got to experience 5.0 and all the luxury that comes with it.
Awesome review! Range Roveritis is strong here!
Vic Y How’s yours running??
Hey @High Peak Autos,
Running great so far!, I can average about 15 maybe 16mpg if I drive like a grandma and stick to the speed limit, but I don't.
One thing I find funny is reading about the "symposer", once you hit 3,000rpm the symposer opens up a series of pipes into a resonator inside the cab that lets you hear that music that is the V8 reving up.
Excellent as always. Great review. I so want that car!
Kraken1000 Thanks for watching! 👍🏻
I have been thinking about one of these recently got to say this might be one of the simplest and best videos I’ve seen by anyone selling cars excellent seems honest realistic can’t really ask for any more well done you
Glad you enjoyed it!
well, you made me do it! I now have an L322 Vogue 2010 3.6TDV8 - lovely (so far)
Richard Jackson pleased to hear it. Hope you enjoy it 👍🏻
Gorgeous engine,did you had any problems with it?
Exactly what I'm looking for now
The biggest difference between 4.2 SC and the 5.0 SC is that 4.2 SC i much more reliable. 5.0 SC is prone to have timing issues. 5.0 SC is pretty powerfull when it works and well maintained.
True. 4.2 SC has thick walled pistons sleeves and no varriable timing and no direct injection which makes this engine whole hell of a lot simpler then 5.0 SC. My first LR was 2009 RRS SC -what a awesome car, second and a current 2013 RRS SC 5.0. Theoretically, if you buy one made in 2012-2013, there is no timing issue or if you had that timing issue taken care of, these engines are pretty reliable and long lasting besides that specific issue. I mran there is some plastic cooland housing that cracks but generally, timing issue aside. Its not like 4.2 last forever and 5.0 you will be loosing piston rods every time you go to grossery store.
Huge plus of 2010 RRSs is fully redone interior, while it does not have gigantic screen or multiple screens, does not have interior like space ship like Velar does but it is awesome, high quality, modern and conservative and undoubtedly has all the infotament for the ride without iphone embedded in to dash board. There is no limit for better, better then better, better then better better but again - I have everything I need withing the hand's reach in my 2013 L320, very comfortable and ergonomic, kicks ass with 5.0 SC too.
Yeah, I with it would be aluminum body not worry about corrosion, would, probably be nice to have 8 speed trany instead of 6 speed but like I said - There is no limit for better. I bought it Certfied Preowned directly from LR Dealer with extended warranty and "convinced" them to replace Engine and Transmission in 2019 before warranty expired, hopefully I will enjoy it for several more years relatively trouble free.
Generally, if I could have the 2013 interior RRS with 4,2 SC engine, I'd go for it, add a bigger SC pulley if you want nore oooomph.
Congratulations on achieving the 100,000! It’s well deserved!!
Thank you so much!!
Great review like always. Keep on.
Thanks for watching!
would only ever get one if I first bought my own petrol station
It's a fact, this car is not for low-life people.
Not that bad on fuel
range rover are like marmite you love it or hate it
me i am on my3 range rover as a daily driver you cant beat them for comfort on a long haul
Love your videos matt all of em like the way you say it as it is keep em coming and thank you
Thanks, will do!
Just bought a 2010 4.4 TDV8 based on your videos. I absolutely love it and I’ve caught the RR bug, I’ve notified my financial advisor in advance!
Great choice!
here is my take: people go on about how reliable toyotas are an all..............i had a 2004 4runner 4.7 v8.......it took u anywhere,was ballsy,hardly ever broke down.............BUT....................it was THE MOST BORING CAR I EVER HAD.....sure the 4.7 is awesome,but its too damn lazy u stepped on it and it was like.....yeaaa gimme a minute let me strech my muscles sort of thing............i drove my friends 4.2 supercharged version of the range rover..........COMPARED to the 4runner? it was WAY WAY WAY better in every sense,the response was instant,u could feel the engine,and the air suspension made u feel like u were on a magic carpet......saying that........would u rather enjoy yourself and live at the mechanics workshop while owning a Range Rover? or be bored out of your mind and never worry about repairs in a TOYOTA? i leave that to u ;) (i got blisters on my fingers :D )
But Toyotas are even more expensive to repair when they go wrong, and believe me fella, I've heard some horror stories about Toyota and Mitsubishi to. Lets put it this way, If you buy "ANY" vehicle that is over 5 years old and out of manufacturers warranty, expect issues. And that includes BMW, Audi, Porcha, Mercedes, Land Rover, Toyota, Mitsubishi.
Another RR review? Yes! I was annoyed with your Landcruiser review. I have mentioned before that I have a RR with the 4.4 Ford Turbo diesel V8 and, compared to the RR, that Landcruiser couldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding.
The L322 is an absolute delight but, if you're pulling a horsebox, the big diesel is the engine of choice. A much better tow car than the Toyota and just one of the most delightful place to be in on the motorway.
I agree! In terms of road manners, you can't compare the Landcruiser to the RR. The Range Rover is in another league
Your reviews are based on reality, and they are the reasons why I am looking at a 5.0 Supercharged. My dad has a Subaru Legacy, and it has had so many problems. I had a 2005 Mercury for 14 years, and the only issue was with the air con needing fixed. We still love Subaru's even though ours had issues. When you want power and luxury, be prepared to spend a little. Keep up the only honest reviews on the web!!!!
Thanks!
What a great review. Well done.
All ranger rovers are the bollocks, like an addiction. You know you shouldn’t but once your hooked your hooked. Car has soul. And soul costs money.
Louis James I agree. I’m hooked
High Peak Autos me too. They are a buzz car.
Hahaha yeah! I only drive Land Rovers, my wife loves her Freelander2 and I love my RR SPORT
No, no you shouldn’t. Unless you’ve got deep pockets.
Another excellent review
I always enjoy your videos, they are great fun. I'm no petrol head but I could hear your smile when you put your foot down from here :)
John Haynes Thanks! It was good fun 😉
It doesn't make much sense....and I want one soooo much!
I know! Me too :)
The reason I don't like these is because the shape has been around so long that you are more likely to find on a council estate with blacked out windows and drug dealer 22" wheels.
You're right. Too many people have ruined them with poor taste
Hi Matt. As previously discussed. You and your channel inspired me for my choice of mid life crisis V8. I got an L322 4.4 sdv8 Westminster. I love it. I recommend them to any fellow diesel head and follower of your channel. Best Regards. John.
Very nice! Enjoy
Great run down. Full of common sense and logic.
That grid on your face is infectious , makes me want that car !
Do one 😬
Good vids, enjoying this channel. There's nothing quite like a RR/RRS in working order, they are wonderful to drive. To be fair though, I had a head gasket and both cats go on that same engine in a 2010 RRS AB after 60k miles with FSH. People don't make these stories up. My 2008 RRS 2.7, again with only 75,000 and FSH, was in the garage with something wrong every month. Buying these cars is a lucky dip. My Dad's 2017 RRS has been good as gold, he's done big mileage with no issues at all. I went to the garage more in 2 years of LR ownership than I did my other 11 years of motoring combined, and I've owned 4 Alfa Romeos!
Superb review 👍
Sat here in New Zealand - watching you drive through Mellor, New Mills and Chapel... great.
Paul Byrne Haha you’re right, well spotted!
Great video, it sounds epic!
Cheers Mate, your review is spot on right down to the Cheesy Grin, I just bought a 2010 Black Autobiography, I live in Wellington Palm Beach now, but I'm originally from the Bramhall area so your videos are a trip down memory lane as I have family in Tideswell.
Cheers again for the video Keep up the good work I O U a pint Mate
Haha Cheers! Small world isn't it :)
There's nothing like driving a car, that puts a big smile on your face...😀🚗💨
My first car was a Citroen 2CV in 'bamboo' green.
I painted the wheels with white emulsion paint...!!! 🤣
That car was such a joy to drive and made up for the low speed with the added fun factor...!!! 👌
DoubleDeckerAnton The 2CV is always hilarious to drive
@@HighPeakAutos ....yes it was great, i always remember the interior door handles coming off and a small pool of water on the floor when it rained...😂
Great review and countryside
Great review again
Thanks!
Great review and awesome engine soundtrack💥👌🏻
Thanks!
Very sound and balanced review.
IVE ARRIVED. My mates always put it on facebook if we go out. ❤❤❤
My new favorite channel! Great reviews!! Had I not just bought an X6, you’d have had me buying a Range Rover!
Glad you like them!
Love your Range Rover reviews man❤️
Thanks!
"You may as well just buy the car you want and fix it when it breaks". Considering the amount of people paying £300+ per month on a new Audi on lease etc, your advice seems so so sensible. I've never even sat in one of these but I presume every one I see on the road is owned by a celeb, a footballer, a drug dealer, a successful business owner or Royalty. I know am gonna love it if I ever sit in one. Your review makes me consider saving up to get one as an upgrade from my 2009 fiesta 😂. Would need to park some dough for repairs as well of course. High Peak Autos have got the used car review game on lock. Your sales must have rocketed from all your videos. All the best.
I love your very objective reviews of these older vehicles. Pls keep the videos coming. Wish you could review the avensis verso
Cheers!
I bought a 2011 Super Charged Range Rover and love it! Thanks for the commentary.
Good for you! Enjoy it
Best review ever!!
Fantastic video.
I’ve watched a few of yours and 100% great so far.
And I own 2 l322 autobiographies, both 05 td6 (cheaper tax by half!) and I love them.
Yes they have their issues but as you said…
Don’t they all.
Great review. Thanks
Thanks
Had a TDV8 l322 and have also owned a Classic Range rover and a P38. My favourite was the Classic. My mate had a TDV8 at the same time as me and spent thousands on it fixing problems. Only thing I bought for mine were good tyres.
Hi. Just picked up a 3.6 TDV8 as a trade for my Touareg. In love with it so far. Fingers crossed. Already looking down on Hyacinth Bouquet!😀
12:30 Thats the best advice Ive heard from anyone! And changes are you’re going to spend more money on something you like to drive rather than something “sensible”. I’ve had “sensible” cars. They break as well. More often the cars you like are better built but more expensive to repair but don’t break as often. And when they are fixed it’s driving heaven instead of the dreary econobox same old.
Best advice ever.
Christian Olsson That’s right. I didn’t think it was great advice but life is too short to drive boring cars
I own a 2007 L322 TDV8 in Australia. Thankfully this video is the most accurate I have ever seen on You Tube. I have taken ours almost around Australia, to the Snowfields, through the Murray River and it tows our 30 foot trailerable boat. I spend about AUD$1000 a year on LR maintenance. This is complex and capable and matches the Toyota Landcruiser in many aspects. If Maintained, garaged, driven respectfully and repaired early, if and when necessary, the depreciation over their entire life is more reasonable than just the first few years when all cars drop in value. The economy in ours is 1000 Km per tank and the torque enough to retrieve our boat on the launching ramp (3500KG).
Bill Martin I totally agree. And they’re far better to drive than a Land Cruiser
This is amazing feedback. I'm having a pre inspection on an RR at the moment and I'm fairly scared but your comment makes me feel better!
