I’ve owned 3 Range Rovers, I’ve piked up my first l405 2017 sdv8 4.4. And been blown away again, I’ve just got back from her first road trip and she hasn’t missed a beat. Over my owner ship of l322 and know l405 I’ve had no major problems bar normally wear and tear. To myself no other car matches its capabilities and comfort in my opinion.
You're absolutely right, Chris. Land Rover Range Rover is probably the most unreliable brand that exists. On the other hand, there's Rolls Royce... Thank you so much for this information. Stuart
My neighbour's Range Rover (2023 brand new) has broken down 4 times over the past 11 months. The last time it broke down he told the dealership to keep it saying the car wasnt fit for purpose
@@ChrisEdworthy they are great for long distance....I didn't get the fob for my heater, so converted to GSM, so can now text car from anywhere to turn on the FBH. Btw does yours get warm inside? I find that the battery protection system switches off the FBH before cabin is nice and warm. Did fit new battery 3yrs ago....
Had a 2007 L322 3.6 tdv8 around 6 years ago with 220000 miles on it, drove like a car with 40000 miles and never missed a beat! All about the maintenance,
@@ChrisEdworthy Great vehicle, Only vehicle I can compare with that millage now ( land rover ) is an old Discovery 3 SE It has 183000 miles on it, Drives spot on, Spent 6k on it doing all the bushings, airbags, bearings, rust protection, air suspension bags ( all round ), torque converter, etc, But it will be good now for another 10 years or so,
Y Tubers Make Me Smile,When Has Any Landrover Been Known For its Great Build and Reliability Over the Last 50 Years ? If You Want Both Just Go and Buy a Toyota. If You Want To Spend a Fortune on a Car And Keep Having Faults then Buy any Landrover of any Kind.
How many have you owned,all of my defenders have been faultless,5 defenders,all with over 300,000kms. The new ones are wank and my next truck is a grenadier. Toyota fanboys gonna hate.
Buy an L405 and do videos with it and it’s general reliability. People love to watch the Range Rover l405 videos. I’ve had mine four years. Thing is the best. However I’m not a UA-cam vlogger or I’d probably do what I’ve just suggested lol. 👌🏻
😂 I agree. But part of me has always wanted the big V8 Land Cruiser. I do like a big engine and big car. I’ve had a few American cars for that reason. But always come back to JLR.
There is a 97% failure rate on Nissan CVT Transmissions and they are going bust in the USA where all cars sold have auto. I'm sure RR have reliability problems but so do many others which are never discussed. My mates brand new Fiesta blew up at 60,000 miles with the ecoboost engine, Ford told him to go do one because it was just out of warranty! Peugeot pure tech also a disaster, and Vauxhall Corsa gearbox failures at 30K miles.
Just shows you it every make. I think Land Rover has such a following which openly discuss issues to help one another, it’s almost an advert for what breaks. The flip side, is the knowledge is there to help. Thanks for watching and your stories.
GLE is a very nice car, I just don’t think people get as attached to a Mercedes like they do a Range Rover. Maybe the solid German nature means they lack a bit of character? Who knows!! Thanks for watching and commenting.
Chris. You are a nice guy with a good channel. But stop dreaming. I am South African, 78, and often go far out in the veld to Kruger Park and beyond. You would be hard pressed to find a Range Rover in the South African bushveld. You will find Range Rovers at all the fancy shipping malls in the country. But when South Africans head out into the veld and overland into Africa, only ONE vehicle cuts it. A Toyota Land Cruiser. Range Rovers are city shopping cars. For posers. I enjoy your channel
Hi Chris, I’m a fan of Range Rovers also,….but I’m most definitely not a fan of £700 road tax. That’s daylight robbery. It really disappoints me that you end up giving the government an excessive amount of money just for the pleasure of running your car on the road. I can accept paying the going rate for regular services, but paying the government ( regardless of political persuasion ) sticks in my throat. I drive a GLC and it’s due for replacing next year, and the Range Rover is a definite possibility. Are you planning to do any vids on the servicing costs, or the cost of consumables like tyres, brakes, exhaust etc?. Another interesting video Chris… Cheers John
Hi John, yes I am looking at doing the servicing and filming it. However one isn’t due yet, and I was only thinking last night it’s almost a bit boring. Nothing is wrong with my L322 it just keeps going with no issues. Great for me, but not for content. The road tax is painful I agree. My Rolls is £300 less. City driving which I’m just looking into is also expensive, Londons ULEZ and congestion charges are a killer. All to drive over potholes suited best to a Range Rover!! 🤔
Had a 2011 5.0 XJ for about a year and 10k miles. Never missed a beat. Two of my neighbors currently have a 3.0 diesel and a 3.0 petrol - and they're constantly messing up. Difference? Mine came from a happy home and had regular pre-emptive maintenance. I always say, you buy the previous owner, not the car.
I’ve done 2000 miles in 2 months so far , all it’s needed is a rear height sensor. I’ve done the diff oils etc for peace of mind It’s all wear and tear stuff which if done properly it will last… same with any car , it’s a simple as that.
Easy to forget the 1.5 million BMW's recalled because their brakes dont work, or the 100 thousand new motors that Toyota have to replace. Get a real job Chris !
Because they’re designed with crayons and built by nursery children. Next question. After owning a string of JLR cars over the years, I have learnt one thing. Never own a JLR vehicle. The last one was so bad that, when the car was just 6 years old, I had it dragged to the scrap yard and left it there.
I would like to see you do a long term ownership on a Toyota Land Cruiser see how long they last and you mentioned many car brands go through there 5 minutes of bad spots well Land Rover/Range Rover are going through hours of bad spots they are not as reliable as any Toyota including my 1997 Toyota Hilux rear wheel drive single cab aluminium tray ute and that said you mentioned that in Australia were l live you can take a Land Rover into the outback but if you want to get back you take a Toyota Land Cruiser and there is also easily available in Australia is the Toyota Land Cruiser 70 series and not forgetting the Hilux and if you go any were in Australia you will see plenty of Land Cruisers and Hiluxes and l see more Land Cruisers than Land Rovers and Toyota is the biggest selling vehicle brand in Australia for the past 25 years which the best vehicle is a reliable vehicle and after all reliability is the most yes the most important luxury yes luxury in a vehicle which means all Toyota's are the most luxurious cars ever made the fact is you can go anywhere in Australia in any Toyota and get back after all Hilux stands for High Luxury which is true just think my 1997 Toyota Hilux is more luxurious than your unreliable Range Rover in 20 years it will be scrapped and in 20 years time my Toyota Hilux will be still going l won't but my Hilux will after all lam 69 years old and l happy to be Australian because of all the luxurious Toyota's around and there are some Toyota's that are much better than Rolls Royce

That’s exactly what happened to someone I know. I made this video on it: ua-cam.com/video/U3B9LMp5Pgw/v-deo.htmlsi=lQ7wqOp1U0NGkebE
Quite happily take our 2012 4.4 TDV8 on our European and UK road trip. Obviously lots of preventive maintenance to keep it in good order. 👍
I’d like to do a longer road trip in mine. Sounds like a plan for next year! Thanks for watching.

2002 RR L322 td6 with 409.000km here, still going strong with normall maintenance. No big issues yet.
Wow that’s some mileage. Let me know when it clock 1/2 million Km. That will be impressive.
Range Rovers are reliable when you stay away from diesels as far as I have seen.
But the UK customer base will not like hearing that. 😅😂
🤣 I don't mind that. My 4.4 V8 diesel has been brilliant. But I'd like to try the petrol version for a comparison. Thanks for watching.

😂 I agree. But part of me has always wanted the big V8 Land Cruiser. I do like a big engine and big car. I’ve had a few American cars for that reason. But always come back to JLR.
In that case check out the new Nissan Patrol - it’s massive. Probably need to import one though as don’t think they’re on sale in UK 😊
What a bell end. I’d rather drive a Toyota Landcruiser or Hilux than any JLR rubbish.
L322. Peak Range Rover. 3 years with my 4.4 Tdv8 and no real problems
Thanks David. I think as long as they are serviced they are pretty bulletproof.
Service history is key with all RR’s and if honest best to over service them . 👍
I agree. I haven’t always paid attention to that, but more and more I am valuing it. Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@ChrisEdworthy keep up the good videos 👍
