Buckle Up is a channel that is only interested in one thing - cars!
We upload a myriad of different content including car review videos, car challenge videos, car news videos and much, much more!
Our videos are made in a similar style to that of Top Gear, Fifth Gear, Car Throttle, Doug DeMuro, carwow, Carfection, The Grand Tour, MotorTrend and many more.
We would all thoroughly recommend their channels, so why not go and check them out. - Авто та транспорт
Ive only just discovered your channel and i want to let you know i think the videos are excellent. A good casual witty but knowledgeable style and plenty of easy chat to the camera. I wish you lots of success!
You're too kind
Nice real world breakdown and some good points to look for as many reviews only offer a glance into a car, not a long term understanding of it.
Also, such a brave thing to do this in trousers made entirely of body paint. 👏 Must've been chilly out there.
We like to try and bring a bit of genuine ownership experience into the content we create about our own cars ☺️
Thankfully, despite the body paint not offering as much warmth as traditional clothing, the weather was mild enough to keep Jasper from freezing to death during filming!
I know. Silly, silly comment from him about the plate.
Brilliant video. Loved hearing all the details. Not too expensive for what you have. Keep on enjoying your Range Rover 🙂
Thank you! Will do!
I didn’t want to drive a British car around with the Union flag on the number plate - right.
You are correct. What's wrong with that?
@@BuckleUpShow He's pointing out that it makes you a sad little woke hypocrite as does using the purple-haired phrase "gammon" when you drive a Range Rover
@MrSoflash And here's us thinking it was the snowflakes who were supposed to be upset by everything...
@BuckleUpShow Nothing wrong with that, it's your licence plate have whichever one you want. But FYI it isn't "gammony" it is so you can legally drive abroad without having to put stickers on the paintwork
Yeah we know that, but apparently it’s illegal to make jokes at a boomers expense in 2024
Brilliant real world posting, keep them coming mate
Thanks for the great feedback!
A very professional Video with humorous intentions which certainly made this viewing interesting and fun. This chap should be delivering Top Gear!!
It's a shame there is no Top Gear left to present 😞
Good honest review. I love my 2010 4.4 TDV8. Cost me a fortune this month with brakes all round, tyres all round and wheels refurbed 😂 people think we’re crazy but they just don’t understand what it’s like until they’ve owned a L322. If your wanting rid of the private plate I’d buy it off you?
Yes, I suspect my brake bill will be significantly higher for this even if I do change them myself! It's definitely the best all-round car I've bought I think 😁 While I wouldn't buy a private plate, there is something refreshingly timeless about having one fitted to an L322, so I will probably just leave it on the car - especially as it ties in to the car's spec! It's the ones that are like G666 GAZ that I really dislike 🤣
Im curious, what do you start to understand when you own an L322? How has it been?
What you mean by private plate
Its parents paid for it to go to school
@drew5700 a plate other than that which was originally assigned to the vehicle.
For 6 months and 5k miles I think ' just ' 2 air shock things is really good.
Yeah, it definitely could have been a LOT worse *touches wood*
its not terrible!
Nice, I bought my new to me 2011 vogue se the other day, from eaton cars :) drives lovely, few little niggles but I think Range rovers will be my vehicle of choice for the foreseeable future.... What a machine!!
The guys at Eaton's are fantastic and it certainly sounds like you're enjoying your car! Excellent choice, and yes - you probably won't want to leave the club!
Nice honest review. Especially about the most important cost being fuel. Far cry from others claiming 30mpg. One claiming the full fat 4.4tdi being cheaper on fuel than the evoque. Thank you
If I had a lighter right foot I don't see why I couldn't have got 25 mpg, but it's still not great 😂
I could get 30 mpg out of a 4.4 TDV8
So could I. On a motorway I frequently achieved 34 to the gallon. However across a full tank of mixed driving that is a lot more difficult.
Buy a Diagnostic reader...use it....and then see if it needs a repair shop......My front suspension did the same...specialist said it could be a leak...I bought a Reader ...cleared the codes....it corrected its self
Weirdly, when you can hear the compressed air (excuse the French) absolutely pissing out of the front air springs, you know that you have a suspension leak. I have a code reader, but it wouldn't have helped with the leaks that I got.
Excellent video Jasper as always 👍
Thank you! Best car purchase I've made yet 👍
Hey, just got yourself a new subscriber and the reason, your L322. Now I sold mine 3 year ago, reason for selling was my wife found out the MPG of it (I tried to keep it a secret but it got let out of the bag🤷)
Mine was returning 27 around town and 36 on a very soft peddle M way run (3.6 V8 D) but who is in a rush?
I really do miss my RR, the ride, the comfort, the smell and yes the problems it pulled out of the bag at any time it felt like it.
When I sold it, it didn’t have anything wrong with it, but having a firm hand shake with the new owner and words of wisdom, don’t ring me if it goes wrong anytime soon. But that is the exiting bit, just like owning a Fiat, you have one and it’s not going to get you home 😂
To be fair mine never left me stranded and I did drive it through some atrocious weather many times across the A66.
Anyway good luck with your channel and I will be looking out for more content on your RR 🏴
Thank you so much for the lovely comment! Glad you have happy memories of your time with your L322. Unfortunately, I have since sold this car and gone back to something a little more sporty. I do, however, definitely miss the ride comfort, seating position and fantastic amount of torque on tap. We do have a couple of other videos of this specific car on the channel, as well as reviews of a newer L405 RR and the L320 RR Sport, so have a look out for those! 😊
Thanks for the share - very relatable!
You are welcome! Glad it's reflective of the ownership experience 😀
Currently drive a 25 year old Discovery 2 V8, so your mpg doesn’t sound too bad 😂 and I have to admit I quite fancy an L322…
Not massively surprised that the old V8 lump in the Disco 2 does less than 22 mpg 🤣 The L322 would feel like a worthy upgrade over that era of Disco!
Acknowledge you dislike private plates but it is rather a good one. R44 VSE - as you say, Rang Rover 4x4 Vogue SE.
It might be 4.4 for the engine
You should get the “RANGE ROVER” badges re-installed in the right place. They’re way to close together. Front and rear.
The spacing looks the same as every other L322 that I have seen
@@BuckleUpShow it’s off for sure.
images.app.goo.gl/oEpLsj2KsTnaHCSM9 no it's not 🤣
Perfect vidéo ! They make perfect first cars ! (No) but once you drive them you are screwed, you cannot drive another car without the feeling that you bought second best !
Absolutely - I've ruined myself as I don't find other cars very comfortable now!
@@BuckleUpShow this is the way
This is the way
I forget how much cheaper these are to repair in GB compared to here in the states. Very few shops will touch these cars and the ones that do charge a ton for it. To replace an air spring here in Texas is about $1,500. When I owned a Disco 2, I had to call nearly 20 mechanics before I found one who would touch it and even then he said he can't promise he will repair it but he would look at it.
You don't have specialist garages in Texas?
@@BuckleUpShow Very few in the part I am from. I'm sure the bigger cities have them, like Dallas, but I am a 7 hour drive from there. Texas is huge, mate. I'm a 3 hour drive at 75mph from the nearest city with over 200,000 people.
Nice review. How many of the parts that you've replace are actually made by Land Rover?
You realise many OEM parts aren't actually manufactured by car companies don't you?
Who says RR,s are not reliable? That's nothing you have a good car there get the door handle light done if it bothers you that much ,its an easy repair. Things wear out on any car and have to be replaced.
I do plan on disassembling the door card to check the connections and maybe replace the LED. For anyone who says a Range Rover isn't reliable there is always someone who has never had any problems 😂
Had my 2012 Westminster from eatons for 2 weeks- loving it ! Your 1st video was partly the reason - I agree with everything you say about these amazing vehicles!
Great to hear! Looks like you've got some happy miles of motoring ahead of you - especially if you got a Westminster!
Interesting presentation young fella (I am so much older sad to say). Bit miffed about removing the Union Jack, it looked very small anyway. I guess most people in the UK realize it is a British car, but it has worldwide status and a little Flag denoting its heritage is just fine, as MANY foreign countries would dearly love to present it as 'theirs' - but cannot!
Thanks for watching, I replaced the numberplates as they were a bit old and tired and I preferred the cleaner look of the plate with nothing on the left hand side of it 😁
Passed you in belper in my new tuned l322 today ... Gave a reassuring nod 😊
Was it you in the dark metallic red one? Gorgeous colour that you don't see too many of! (If this is you I also saw you this morning)
Great video. Just spent 2.4k on service and gearbox filter and fluids and transferbox and fluids and front lower suspension arms and rear bushes. New tyres all round at £800 and wheel refub next week. God I love my L322 xx
That sounds about right! Expensive to repair/do maintenance when they need it, but absolutely worth spending the money on 😊😊
Keep the faith, they're great. Might be worth a look at your brake calipers etc. if you aren't getting much better mpg on a run. Mine's doing 26.2 over the 24k miles I've had it although a lot of that is on quite quick roads.
On a run I was capable of getting about 34.5 mpg if driven gently. Unfortunately I didn't do long, gentle runs very often 😂
Service History and milage play a significant part in the equation. Montague Edward's
We concur Monty
Gammonny 🤣
Those things are actually useful if you want (are allowed?) to travel into Europe, means you don't have to get a separate sticker.
I don't know if you've still got the car, but it's worth watching Harry's Garage videos on the L322. He swaps the 19-inch wheels for 20-inch, and then fits the all-season tyres from the current series Range Rover. Those can even get you through snow (although possibly not a 120cm snow storm).
You do still need a sticker if it says ‘GB’ on the plate, which these ones did. Also if you go to Spain you need a sticker no matter what now. Isn’t Brexit fun!
Swapping to a bigger rim is worse for off road applications. Reducing the rim size and increasing the size of the tire, offers greater surface area when tyre pressure is lowered off road.
Due to the age of these now I'm finding it hard to get a good d3, d4 or l322 here in Canada. A lot of tat as you might say. The later 5.0 and scv6 petrol have timing chain tensioner issues etc.. + extended oil change intervals not conducive to long engine life. 4.4 v8 the best but the newest is 14yrs old now.
It's definitely getting more difficult to find good examples of these cars as they get older!
This and a Murcielago are my dream cars
Good choices but you’ll probably need a gazillion pounds to run them both
My 2010 HSE has cost me nothing but normal maintenance during my one year ownership. But the previous owners did a lot of repairs for the engine
You've lucked out there! When buying an L322 it's absolutely about condition and prior service history. The more, the better!
Start stop button is a 2 min job. Prise it out with trim tools and pop a new one in. eBay job.
I've seen a couple of videos and the cost of the part isn't too bad, so it's on the list of things to do when I have time 😊
Great vid and I can say you have spent less than I have on my 2002 Cl500. And I have been using the same logic as you have 😂😂👍
If you really like your car, who cares how much it costs you!
Find a good independent specialist that uses quality OEM parts and you’re set for life.
Absolutely - keeping on top of things is key with cars like these
Nice video. I've been thinking of getting a Range rover for a while now. The costs dont seem too bad tbh, at least not as bad as i thought. The air suspension was one worry i had though.
Ive had 4x4s in the past.. 300tdi's and pathfinders, both were about 19mpg and a mortgage when they went wrong... which they did... often 😂 but its true that heart does override brain with cars you love lol
Well it's an expensive initial cost but you could always switch it over to conventional springs and remove the worry
I spent 1000 euro pump water plus all belt and all plastic, 250 euro new baterry, 4 wheel's 800 euro just in one month 🤣🤣🤣.And now my seat drive she's not working..I don't know why
If nothing else, Range Rovers do keep things interesting - new repairs monthly!
Did you ever do a follow up to this? Do you still own the car? Greetings
He gets bored rather easily, he sold this and replaced it with a TT, which he will probably shortly also get bored of and buy something else
Put tape over the blinking lamp ;)
Not quite the robust fix required to deal with the problem 😂😂
@@BuckleUpShow I'm a mechanic mate the tape will be much less distracting until the whole system fails and needs replaced ;)
If I still had the car I might - unfortunately I've changed vehicles since this was filmed 😅
You had problema on snow, first of all because you have summer tyres! Put some proper tyres and you'll see it will eventually find the grip in heavy snow storms!
With the size of the snow drift I met, winter tyres would not have helped 😂
Nice Rangie. FWIW the badging is not original or correct from factory, Spacing is off and look a bit smooshed. Doesn't look bad, just not proper.
Thank you! Which badging are you referring to, good sir?
@@BuckleUpShow Bonnet. Boot looks to be good.
It may just be the perspective of some of the shots in the video - we've checked the badging in person and all looks okay 😁
@@BuckleUpShow all good matey. I just watched your video with your mate and his D3. His bonnet badging is waaaaaaaaaay off too.
Land Rover. But all good no worries.
I have had my Toyota iQ about 6 months now, I should probably do a similar video
It's a Toyota so if its been anything other than just fuel you've probably got a world shaking scoop 😅
@@BuckleUpShow actually within a month of owning it threw a £700+ bill at me 😢
Wow, what went wrong?!
@@BuckleUpShow it needed a new exhaust about 3 weeks into ownership! Also a new battery
Hi, I'm not from the UK, but why wouldn't you want the GB flag on? Some polical issue over there maybe?
It's just very small-world and Brexit-y, two things I do not want to be perceived as.
Snow above waist levels and bro drives the Range on summer tires
It was completely fine until it suddenly wasn't 😅
This is exactly the spec I'm looking for so I cam deliver my customers cars
It will definitely be a good tow vehicle, though the fuel economy will suffer! Something like an X5 30d would probably also do you and be a bit more economical to run.
@@BuckleUpShow the x5 won't tow 3500kg I don't believe. Plus the RR is much nicer to sit in. I'm so bothered about the economy.
Ah yeah only tows 3500 after 2019. The other thing you could consider is a Ssangyong Musso, they're great at towing and as a business buyer you would be able to write the VAT off. The Range Rover is fab but they can go wrong and when your business is reliant on it that might not be ideal.
@BuckleUpShow yeah I've looked at those type of pick ups including the ford ranger. But they all seem to be underpowered. Our trailer is 9 meters long and we have 2 cars on the back. So I worry about a smaller engine pulling that weight constantly. I'd be much happier with a bigger power output like RR v8 diesel because its not under any stress at all even at full capacity. You also find better economy because your not braying the life out if it.
Good video mate I am looking for one.
Go for it! Worth spending a bit of time searching for the right one, and go for condition and service history over mileage.
Check battery condition. It’s should last way longer than a week. The 4.4 tdv8 needs an AGM 019.
It was an incredibly cold week which probably didn't help - I suspect that the battery is due a replacement though 🙄
@@BuckleUpShow There is a great DIY guide on the Wiki page of the Full Fat forum. It’s not straightforward on the 4.4 tdv8. ECU has to be moved aside and then the BMS reset via a plug in once new one fitted
Excellent to know, thanks Rob! 😁😁
@@BuckleUpShow Happy to help. Had mine a few years now so have absorbed a lot of information that I’m happy to pass on. Happy to chat more
Do we know what the original purchase price was for this car? Is there a vid of when you first got it ? Great vid, love it!
The original purchase price of the car when new will have been somewhere north of £75k. With the optional extras this particular car had, we'd guess somewhere in the region of £80k new.
There is also a full review of this car on the channel - ua-cam.com/video/IjUGOw-ZMsw/v-deo.htmlsi=JKaNKee1j11Pa9z6
@@BuckleUpShowjust watched that one as well. Another cool vid. Regarding purchase price I was referring to the used purchase price that was paid for this beauty. I can’t decide between L322 and L405. Love my music so want the ability to Bluetooth audio stream.
If you can stretch, go for an L405. There were some marginal upgrades to the interior and the infotainment is better. Running costs should also be slightly lower as the later model is more efficient. Used prices of 405s have also come down in the last 12 months making them more attainable.
Got my TDV8 2007 l322 feb 2022 for £3500. Lots of work needed doing. But not that expensive
UNTIL my injectors started dying. 🤦🏼♂️
Irrespective of how much you spend on the car, they're always one warning light away from thowing a big bill at you 😅🙄
I’m £2000 in parts down now :P
Could be worse - could need a new engine which is at least a £6k job 😅
Did you have summer tyres on when going through snow?
Yes, though it wasn't the tyres that stopped me progressing - it was the 5ft tall block of snow
There old knackers now loved mine at the time
They're absolutely wonderful cars ☺️
I came for the Range Rover. Was mesmerized by the pants 🙌. Brilliant
😅😅😅
The plates are for driving abroad 🤦♂️
Plates with GB on them are now out of date, so you would still need a UK sticker alongside the jingoistic plates. I much preferred when they had a lovely halo of EU stars on them
It is too expensive if you need to pay more what is in the fuel tank.
Pay more than what is in the fuel tank for what?
Stop complaining you sound like a old house wife! You know what you bought and the expenses it comes along with!
We're helping other people make informed decisions
$288 pounds! your kidding me! your having a laugh.......I'm in Australia and the same job is over $1000 AUD a side plus labour So your looking at 650+ GBP a side......are your parts and labour just cheap in the UK? A nut and bolt for a Range Rover in Australia is $50!...........I personally have spent over $22000 AUD on my L320 in the past 6 years.....Rejoice my friend at the truly staggeringly low cost of repairs where you live. Come live here in the great southern land and feel the pain and cost of Range Rover ownership, you shall cry often and have to take out a second mortgage on your house. And that's not just early models even the later models are the same. 2017 L494 out of warranty costs a fortune to repair..........Don't worry, be UK happy and remember your driving the best model RR ever built. The MK3 L322.....Cheers from the land down under, where woman glow and men plunder, can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder!
We may have bad weather and bad food but at least we get cheap land rover parts 😅
I replaced both front shocks and air bags for £330.
Omg that cost you nothing! Imagine how much you’d have lost in depreciation value if you’d bought a new car of the same value. Not that you’d have found a new car for the price you paid!😂Nice legs btw.
It's certainly better value buying the car at the bottom of it's depreciation curve!
@@BuckleUpShow yes you timed it perfectly on that front. More or less when I sold mine!🤦♂️
I loved the review, but the presentation style makes you sound so fed up with it. There were too many pauses during the presentation. Trying to be a Top Gear presenter when you really don't need to be. For the age of the car it's beautiful, I'd remove the side steps, they don't look tidy. Thank you though for a real world review 😊
Thanks for the feedback, but never heard of Top Gear, so not sure what I’m doing wrong!
A problem with our flag? I can see why not so many likes. I started to watch this because like Range Rovers not because I want to hear about politics or about how butt hurt someone is about our non-existent departure from the EU as if we've not heard enough from both sides over the last 8 fecking years. You should have switched it up to something to do with covid/vaccines and got with the times for that ultra modern take.
Only a massive snowflake would be so triggered by a joke about brexit… how ironic.
Managed 37.5mpg in my 4.4tdv8
I am impressed - was it just a steady drive on a motorway/A-Road at about 50mph?
So our nations flag is “a bit gammony” is it?…by that measure, isn’t the whole car one big haunch of gammon?
Slapping it on the back of a car is gammony behaviour
Used cars on good-looking but way way too expensive to run it should be painless every video is very very upsetting
If you're looking for a car that's pennies to run we recommend a used Toyota Yaris
Dated, tacky, and now Chavy
Range Rover 😆
It's not a Range Rover Sport - now that would be uncouth.
out of date money pit
We can agree on the money pit bit!
@@BuckleUpShownicely replied.
Do you want to sell it yet? 👀 😅
It may have sold some months ago 👀
Negative feedback from a proud gammon.
What exactly are you proud of?
Can you not sell the private plates? Some “person” would probably give you £500 for those
Thats a reasonable plate imo, he,s mad.
While I wouldn't buy a private plate for myself, I will be leaving this one on the car as it does tie in to the car's spec and looks quite timeless. Even though I don't particularly like private plates, I will confess that an L322 looks good with one on!
I didn't say the plate wasn't reasonable, it's just I wouldn't buy one myself 😊
No tow bar?God help you 🤣🤣🤣
I do have a tow bar, it is detachable.
six months Toyota ownership,,,,,,,,,,only fuel costs.
Wow, means you can save up to buy a soul to put in the car I guess?
Must have been lucky then. Endless trouble with our hiluxs and the landcruisers rust like a tesco bbq. Most overrated vehicles on the road. Give me an L322 any day
Why make a point of our flag being gammony?
To annoy gammons like you 😘
@@BuckleUpShow gammons like me, that buy new Range Rovers. So silly little boys like you can buy old ones, think it’s time you went for another jab. Keep up with the narrative.
If it wasn’t embarrassing enough that you’re so easily offended by a silly little boy making a silly little comment, you’re also a proud anti-vaxxer 🤣
Silly little boys like us get lent new cars for free too, so we don’t even have to buy them. What lucky silly little boys we are!
@@BuckleUpShow yes, which just goes to show that you’re just a brainwashed halfwit. I watch L322 videos on here, as I still believe that they were the last true Range Rover made. We still run a couple, even though we have a new one. The following these cars have in great, all by like minded people. You just made yourself look a right tit, by saying that in the video.
Oh dear, you’re doubling down 😬
I thought you were just saying that silly little boys bought these and that was somehow an attempt at an insult?
You heard it here first folks - all L322 owners want to shag the flag and are scared of needles 😂
Get rid of those awful tatty side steps mate , will make a huge difference. I love my L320 2010 RRS SC and it does have a private plate lol 😏👍🏼. I will never be without a Rangie , such great cars. Look after them properly and they will be fine. The best advice I can give people who ask me what’s it like run I always say if you think you can run a Rangie on a shoestring go look for a Toyota Camry.
Short King problems, side steps are a necessity
Why has this chap sprayed on his pants?
Fashion, darling x
What a silly comment about gammony or something. You should be proud to be British young man. Let me guess you voted for corbyn? Unsubscribed now
Bit of a snowflake move tbh, running away when someone says something you don't like
@@BuckleUpShow
Not really when you make a derogatory racial slur comment about a union jack which many British are proud of.
Congratulations that was nearly a coherent sentence.
@@BuckleUpShow ha ha you’re brutal. But also correct 😂
I agree. It wouldn't be acceptable to use derogatory racial slurs for anyone else.
For me, it destroyed the tone of what was otherwise a great review.
Some people suit range rovers. Some people don’t. You…..
You nearly managed an entire cohesive thought, well done, we're very proud of you. Keep trying, you have our support.
@@BuckleUpShow I’m here for the sassy replies. 1-0 to you.
