- Опубліковано 23 гру 2023
- We finally bought our first Range Rover. Our viewers tell us constantly how good that car is and we don´t quite belive it. We selected the L405 with the full aluminium body and the TDV8 engine. In this episode you see our first impressions and experience with this british high end car.

You two are funny, entertaining, self-effacing, super knowledgeable, hyper persistent/tenacious, one of the best youtube car channels, period.
I was about to buy a L405 but was concerned about any/ all problems that may arise. Now you have one, I don’t need to worry - I just watch you unearth, explain and fix them all!!
Happy Christmas to my favourite UA-camrs!!!
🎉🎉🎉
I have an ‘06 L322 with 323,000 miles (MILES! )- my daily driver- And I have an LR4 with about 130,000 miles- my wife’s daily driver. Both of which we love. Congrats on your first Range Rover. The queen will treat you well if you serve her. Merry Christmas and thank you for the invaluable content for the LR community
4.4 V8 is an excellent choice and the 405 is a great chassis. One thing to check is the front wheel knuckles for cracks around the upper balljoint area. It is becoming a common failure point and there is a recall out in the UK for them at the moment.
Spot on , just bought the 4.4. V8 L405 autobiography
Great vehicle but also just had the front suspension knuckles replaced on mine and the ace valve block failed , nasty bill off the bat …
However , its a great beast of a car , i love it …
LOL Tick, tick, tick, tick@@terryurquhart2413
Is a good engine although the jaguar 5.0 supercharger AJV8 block from late 2010 have more punch and is more reliable appart than maintenance that is cheaper since is faster and easier to disassemble the chassis (4 hours the most to separate ) from the body than disconnecting all engine plugs and lowering the engine itself( 7 hours job to unplug it all ).An engine swap would improve alot the performance of the L405 + this model weight at least 200 KG less than my L320. 🤨 although 🫣 is it still possible to separate chassis from the rest on the L405.
I've got a feeling that 2024 is going to be a good year for LR Time content. A great vehicle that I'm sure Christian will be able to absolutely master. They are a good vehicle but take a lot of "spannering" to keep working properly.
Happy Christmas to our favourite "German Precision" Couple, cannot wait to see what's in store for the RR L405 in 2024.
Congratulations Christian and Vera!
Knock on wood and everything else, but if it's going to be as reliable as mine has been, the three years I've owned it, it's not going to be much other than maintenance videos. And Merry Christmas!
Thank you for thinking of our late Queen, she was liked all around the world
By a country mile one of the best channels on UA-cam, luv your content and humour and your chemistry is amazing, big big fan also of your engineering work both of you! Vera you’re a legend. I wish you and your family a very happy new year and many blessings, stay safe and healthy guys and looking forward to seeing the L405 episodes to come.
Happy New Year to you and your family too. 😃🙏🙋♀️
I LOOOOVE my L405. Its a brilliant car. Not as good at load lugging as my old L322 but still absolutely Brilliant!
This channel should be mandatory education for anyone considering buying LR.
Unless you have no young kids, a 2 post lift, 39 years of mechanical experience, full mechanic tools and a lathe, a pit, an oscilloscope, are near retired, and have a wife that loves to work on cars....just buy a Toyota.
Had to pause at 22:42 need a shower and get the Golden Retriever walked haha!! BUT can i say the L405 is just a stunning piece of Art inside and out!
I ❤ the dynamics of passion between the cars and what they mean to you both. Its amazing to watch 🏴🏴
Limp mode lite. Love the happy ness in the video.
I have a 2013 L320 and 2012 L322 both with the Supercharged 5.0 and a 2019 L405 with the supercharged petrol V6. By far, my favorite is the L322. Biggest downfall for all three units is they terrible interior storage space given the exterior size of all three vehicles. The LR3 and LR4 are superior for cargo capacity.
All nice cars but the L405 just looks amazing
The difference between a utility vehicle and a luxury vehicle.
Same L320 and L322 fleet here and it well they're both very interesting, but that L322 is amaazing.
@@TheObiwantoby I'm seriously looking for a super low mile 2008 - 2012 V8 supercharged that is an absolute creampuff west coast no rust mall crawler. If I find it, I'll store it away to replace mine once the mileage gets excessive, probably another 50k miles from now. The price for pristine 2008 and 2009 V8 supercharged units are bring crazy money right now in the USA.
2016 d4 sdv6 here, love it, have 2010 tdv6 too, my seat cover stitching ruined the leather spray on finish on the drivers seat, going to get some sheepskins, yes even less room on RR Sport
And it is a wonderful day here in Australia. I have to admit I find your videos more entertaining than how to fix British vehicles. I'm sure this vehicle is going to be just terrific and you'll wonder why you didn't buy one sooner.
The German dry sense of humour and Vera, priceless.
Nice to see Jurgen Klopp reviewing cars 😂
Great, welcome to the club. We imported a 2015 SDV L405 autobiography from Hamburg to the Netherlands 3 years ago and it was the best decision ever. When we bought it it barely had 40kkm on it, which triggered me as a car that has never been properly run in, and that proved to be true. We had some minor things as dryed out suspension bushings, a cracked thermostate housing etc. At 100kkm we had to replace the brake discs which was a big wow to discover they were the orginal ones. The radio we replaced by an android head unit which is highly recommendable and really updates the interface you have with the car as a driver. At the moment the RR is at 125kkm and we recently decided to keep driving it till the new one is sort of affordable. In order to prevent discussions about the 4,4/Co2 emissions (I work in the renewable energy sector) we use the envi friendly fuel HVO100, which makes the car run smoothly, quiter and has no smoking/smell at all. We have it eco tuned as well so it runs at 400hp if you want, but in reality it is more of a low rpm 140 a 150kmh highway cruiser, which it does at can 7a8l/100km. Love your channel by the way :) almost made me buy a Discovery 3 years ago LOL.
Happy Christmas Christian, Vera, and family.
Thank you so much for sharing your videos with us throughout the year.
Wishing you good health to enjoy your Range Rover.
Looking forward to this series of repairs. Merry Christmas to both of you and thank you for all your hard work and videos
Thanks for all the great videos you have given us over the year looking forward to seeing how you get on with the Range Rover 👍
I knew this was going to be a good series, can't wait for the future videos. Hope you have a good rest over the festive period. Merry Christmas to you both.
Love it look forward to you both working on it
Great news both looking forward to new videos on the L405 can’t wait to see what happens what a great addition to the fleet.

Your videos are brilliant. I love the content and the humour.
Looking forward to the entertaining and informative repairs to your lovely Range Rover.
This channel just gets better and better, Sunday morning essential viewing. Most enjoyable video.
Congratulations on your new project, she looks so nice, enjoy all the trials she’s sure to send your way too. I look forward to watching your solutions to them as well.
Merry Christmas to you both, have a good one 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Happy Christmas guys.thanks for your videos..keep them coming. Really enjoying them.
Fantastic new car! I look forward to all of your videos - great content, both the technical and marital skills needed when owning any LR. ;-)
Happy Christmas Christian and Vera. Great content, always waiting for my Sunday fix from you guys! Keep up the good work, will be great to see the L405 videos!
Great vid. Looking forward to the rest of it. Merry Christmas to you both.

Congratulations on the purchase, looks great. Merry Christmas to you both 🎄
Awesome - more brilliant content. Thanks Vera and Christian!
Many happy returns guys. Keep the content coming. Loads of laughs.
Great addition to the channel - thanks for all of the content in 2023, and wishing you a Merry Christmas
Another very exciting series of contents is anticipated for the new addition on your garage! Perfect choice of the unit. I'm sure in your hands you are going to make the 'Queen' reliable and more fun to drive. Have a very Merry Christmas to you both and to the boys!
This is where a knowledge of the nuances of English culture would come in handy. A white Range Rover is not the realm of HM the Queen, its the realm of the bright orange, Essex wife ....!
Complete with teeth from Turkey 😂
Agreed HRH models should only feature in green.
Lovely stuff! Happy Christmas to you, Vera and Christian, and all the family. Keep well and see you next year!
This is an excellent channel that’s entertaining, informative and professional, it's so much fun, and wonderful, so pleased that the Range Rover has been added to the fleet.
What a good choice. You will, no doubt, provide the fantastic library of repairs for when I upgrade my L320 to the L405. I love watching your fabulously entertaining and informative videos every Sunday. Have a great Christmas.
Beyond excited to see an L405 on this channel. Own and love the L405. BRILLIANT vehicle. Can’t wait for lots of content in 2024!!! Best to you both! 🎉🎉
have a great Christmas both of you and thank you for all the 2023 videos
Merry Christmas, and thank you for the excellent content throughout the year.
Brilliant! So glad you got a Range Rover, would've preferred the L322 as that's what I'm looking at getting, but happy with you giving us Range Rover content. Have a very happ christmas and thank you for the entertainment this year! ♥
I love your videos you make my Sunday night. Have a happy Christmas and new year.
Merry Christmas to you both, you are both characters, keep up the funny and informative videos.

I am so looking forward to your content on this vehicle, having one myself , your content on the d3 and d4 has been very informative. Looking forward to the New Year with the content of your new to you l405. Merry Christmas and Happy New year to you both.
“Klima kleber raumfahrzeug”! Ha ha ha - love the trockener humour. Beautiful L405. I have L322 but I know this is just a gateway drug to the full 405 crack.
Wishing you both, and your family, a very Merry Christmas. I'm very much looking forward to you working on your new purchase, it sure looks like a great vehicle 👍🇬🇧
I love watching you two. Cheers me right up. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas!
Many happy repairs and returns guys! Best wishes from Oz!!
Absolutely Fabulous video keep them coming
Congratulations, looks like a great buy. Those problems it has wont be a problem for you two, have a great end to the year, and a fantastic 2024 and many happy km with the "Queen".
Christian is like the Jurgen Klopp of motor cars. I’m not a motor mechanic but I love this channel.
I wish there were more people in this world with your expertise and work ethic. Keep up the great work you do. It’s a pleasure to watch your videos.
I decided to buy a Discovery 4 after watching your channel, might have to look out for an L405 now! Love watching your content every week, as a Toolmaker myself, I really appreciate the engineering skill. Hope you have a great Christmas and New Year🍻
It looks a great purchase.. Dont fix it too quickly, we want to watch more episodes of all the future repairs. And Merry Christmas from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺 🦘
Congratulations Christian and Vera. Merry Christmas !
Merry Christmas Christian and Vera. I am really glad you have bought a L405 as I have done the same. I was able to more confidently tackle problems with my D3 as a result of your videos and now I should be able to do the same with my L405 with less trepidation. Thank You.
Congratulations on the new car guys! The 4.4 V8 Diesel is a fantastic engine and the Autobiography is a stunning spec as well! I hope you both really enjoy the new car as I’m really looking forward to seeing your content on it! Once you’ve done the 4.4 video’s you’ll need to get yourselves a 5.0 then! 😊 I hope you have a great Christmas!
Merry Christmas to you both. Look forward to the next video.
Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year. Thanks for all your work in 2023.
Merry Christmas and Congratulations on a fantastic purchase, Wonderful vehicles when on song 👍

Excellent content as always , merry Christmas you both and your family
Love the new car, congratzz!
Good choice, I’ve got a 2017 5.0SC with a stage 1 remap, K&N air filters, a reduced top supercharger pulley and a quicksilver exhaust system, previously I had a 2012 L322 Tdv8. Enjoy your L405, keep the brilliant content coming, Merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous New Year to you both and your family
Dear Christian and Vera, Congrats for your new purchase, it is a very good looking RR. I own currently a RR L322 4.4 TD V8 for nearly 4 years now, purchase in with high milage in very good condition. Now I have even more reason to not miss one of your vids because I am planning to swop my 322 for a L405 and as I do some times the mechanic my self I will learn a lot from you guys. As my 322 has the same engine and gearbox your new vids on the RR will be very good for me. Can’t wait to follow your vids with your Queen. Greetings from Munich. T.
Congratulations Guys, pleased to see you (especially Christian ) enjoying the driving experience of the Range Rover. While of course it will provide material for the channel(!) it's nice to see you enjoying rewards for all your hard work in producing videos ( most people probably don't realise just how much work goes into producing regular material on YT ) Writing late on Christmas day so hope you have had a pleasant and relaxing festive period.
Brilliant purchase as I too have an L405 SDV8.
Hoping to learn lots from you both.
👍
Merry Christmas ! Now I LOVE YOU guys even more, for buying a RR. May you have great moments with it, and us watching as well.
Another awesome video with more to come. Merry Christmas to you all !
Great video, love them all!!
can't wait for the next video. Merry Christmas!
I knew it! You made a great choice. Super nice.
Glad you got it sorted in the end.
Merry Christmas. 🎄
I had to look up what a mis-fueling device is. For those that don't know, there is a flap in the filler neck that actuates and mostly blocks the passageway when a smaller diameter gasoline (petrol) fuel nozzle is accidently inserted. Looks like a pretty neat mechanism.
Thanks for that … I found it really frustrating not knowing.
Yes. I’m in the UK and watching this in bed 🤣 And my German wife celebrates Christmas on the 24th, and I celebrate it on the 25th so we have two Christmases!
Frohe weinachten to you both 🎄🎅
Merry Christmas !
Well done to you both and have a wonderful Christmas and a fabulous New year ... and keep up the great content 👏 👌
Congratulations on the new acquisition and Merry Christmas from Australia.
Superb... delighted for ye. Very well deserved... 👏 😊😊
Merry Christmas Vera & Christian. I look forward to the next series of videos
