    I absolutely love my L322 Range Rover, and after over two years of owning it, I could never see myself without an L322 around. That's now to say they're flawless, though. As great as they are and as much as I love them, they're far from perfect. Let's break down some of the top 5 common faults on a used Range Rover L322 in today's video!

    Before we start talking about them, I think it's important to point out a couple of things. The L322 changed a lot over the years - from new engines to transmissions to electrics. Not EVERY model is going to experience ALL of the issues, but these are common ones to look out for.
    With such a complex suspension set up, it's inevitable that there will be issues now and then. From air springs to compressors to height sensors, the air suspension is an extremely over-engineered system capable of constantly adjusting itself to make sure everything is perfect. So with that, it will fail at some point in its life - usually multiple times.
    Possibly the most annoying part about the air suspension faults, though, is that it can be difficult to tell exactly what failed without a code scanner. Personally, I just use a small one that connects with my phone to pull anything that comes up, but there are tons of options. If you're interested in getting one like this, there's an Amazon Affiliate link below that will take you directly to them. Just be sure they work with your model before purchasing.
    Transmission failure is also common in earlier models, and even though most of those issues were worked out in later models, if it isn't serviced correctly, it can still be prone to failure over time. While it was originally thought to not need service in the early model years, testing over time proved otherwise. Keeping up with the gearbox service isn't just recommended - it's necessary to keep the tank rolling down the road.
    Early signs of transmission failure in the L322 include a hesitation to shift as well throwing faults on the dash as the problem progresses. The L322 was designed to shift smoothly and really without any hesitation. While conditions like cold weather can cause a slightly different shifting experience as it ages, it's still designed to be smooth. If shifting becomes jerky or hesitant, it's past time for a gearbox oil service. If taken care of quickly, the problem can go away, but if it's failing, it's going to fail regardless at that point.
    But in all seriousness, having a faulty fuel gauge is probably the most annoying thing to deal with. I've seen numerous people complain about their L322 running out of fuel at a quarter of a tank left on the display. Obviously, running the Range Rover out of fuel comes with a number of warnings in the owners manual talking about how “the resulting misfire can damage the catalytic converter,” so unless it's fixed, you'll have to monitor your mileage manually. Not a huge deal, but it does take some of the high-class experience out of the equation.
    Alright, to be fair, the suspension bushings on the control arms are a bit like brakes - they're expected to wear down over time. The L322 is about the weight of San Francisco, so obviously, both of them are going to have issues with supporting all that weight.
    I debated on adding the control arm bushings to the list because technically they're designed to fail over time and be a standard maintenance item, but it is a common fail point to watch out for. Typically, you'll start to notice a clunking or chattering noise when driving over a bump, and the car will end up out of alignment. It's not the end of the world, though, and I'd much rather deal with this than transmission failure.
    I could make an entire video about common engine problems on the L322... maybe the Accord drivers have a point. Regardless, the engines used throughout the years have all had their issues. From vanos issues in early models to timing chains in later models, you get to pick your poison.
    With 2010 to 2012 L322 models, the timing chain guides start to wear down over time just like with any chain system. Supercharged models typically start to experience it earlier on, while naturally aspirated models have a bit more time... usually.
    Early symptoms of an inevitable timing chain replacement include a knocking in the engine bay. The timing chain will usually sound like a sewing machine about to explode. When timing chain starts knocking, it's politely telling you to fix it before it goes.

    I own a 1998 P-38, black on black with overland rack and bull bar. I love it. 4.6 HSE, ZF transmission BMW used on the 750IL, and 850is, vastly improved transfer case, looks can't be beat, and the frame and solid axles are strong. I removed the air suspension, cut the ends off, then clamped them onto Discovery Springs, they install with just two metal clips, and solve the spring perch issue. The alarm system is what I next intend to modify. I have learned that mid 1970's Buick 300 cid engines have an intake manifold set up for a 4-barrel carb, and an electronic ignition distributor fits on the front of the engine. This, I figure, will make the overland rack more than a frustrating joke, as currently I would be nervous driving 300 miles from home, the alarm draws five amps with the key off, and a battery kill switch is not possible. BMW made some mistakes for sure, but at it's heart, it is a GM V-8 with the German version of a Turbo-400 backing it up. The suspension with the real springs is as good as it gets, I honestly think this is the era in which to start collecting a few of them, when electric cars take over, I will want a car that gets 13 mpg. Because it weighs almost 6,000 pounds, but moves out fast with just the 4.6, which works out to about a 302 cu. inch V-8, for me? It's a keeper, a modern 1970 Bronco with a 302, just 20- years from the true value kicking in. The poor dollar power had it costing close to $80,000 new, so it will be rare compared to a classic Bronco. With UA-cam, we can fix the intrinsic problems, and all be proud owners of a vehicle that will start every time, glitch free. I purchased mine having had my best friend work as a service manager from 1996-1999, they would spend four months a year in the shop when brand new. I have a question. If the BMW straight-6 Deisel was an option in Europe, has anyone heard of swapping in say, a 1991-93 3.5 litre Gasoline BMW inline six?

    I’ve owned a 3.6 Diesel L322 Vogue since 2009 when It was brand new and love it. I was warned that the car would bankrupt me in repairs when I bought it from friends. Luckily, it’s never had any major issues. That’s due to me making sure that services are regularly carried out and the engine and gearbox oil is changed with an additional flush out every 10,000 miles. Yes, I’ve had a few friends that have been unlucky with second hand ones that they bought, but that’s because they went bargain hunting rather than paying more for a newer car with a creditable service history. Just one tip for people buying a RANGE ROVER. Always buy one with a full service history and most importantly, Remember that when you buy a car that cost 5 times the price of a normal car, replacement parts will cost you 5 times more!!

    From my experience helping a friend out in his LR Specialist for 3 months last year. I. witness the following faults pretty much once a week on the L322
    1) Front Lower Control Arms. Up to 40k kms just change the Hydrastatic Bushes. Only. Don’t forget a wheel alignment. Over 40k kms consider new arms with the top ball joints. Check brake rotors not warped from the vribrations of bad arms.
    2) Park Brake stuck on or actuator failed. Due to either dirt and debris but mainly not having a Park Brake Adjust at your service. RR Sport, Disco 2/3 need this done every Service. Land Rover don’t specify this hence common failure.
    3) Coolant Level Sensor in the Coolant Reservoir. New Tank with sensor suppled. Lots failed.
    4) Bonnet and Tailgate Struts
    5) broken button on key fobs. (One every other day)
    6) Air suspension as mentioned
    7) Bonnet alarm sensor switch. Lots of these!
    All LR’s have their common issues. Discovery 4 and Range Rover Sport shred the most issues. Quite a long list!
    Transmission failure amongst our customer base became quite low as we ensured that they were serviced correctly and pans and filters upgraded. LR said sealed for life but this is not true.
    Most transmissions which failed on cars which come to us for the first time.

I really fell in love when I started driving it, there is nothing else on the market like it. I bought with the VANOS knock at idle and knew with the miles that the timing chains and Guides and tensioners needed to be replaced. I drove it for a year while buying all the parts to do the repairs including the VANOS gears about $3000.00 total parts. I pulled the engine resealed everything and replaced anything questionable. Today I have over 150000 miles on her and she runs like a swiss watch and does not use a drop of oil between 5000 mile services. Having a higher mileage Range Rover can be expensive but if you are a DYI guy those costs can be cut considerably

    I bought a 2005 Vogue four years ago having 65K miles on the clock and driven it about 20K miles since then. The only major issue I had was the lift pump. Other than that there were a couple of worn out suspension bushes and a leaky turbo hose pipe that I can remember. The display in the dashboard was also all pixellated but I fixed that spending about 20 Eur on eBay and a few hours of DIY work to replace the connector strip of the LCD.
    More recently the lock mechanism of the hatch failed but it was just a broken spring which I replaced with a similar one I had lying around.
    Seeing opinions on the Internet it seems that either I must have been extremely lucky or the unreliability problem is somewhat exaggerated.

    I've had to chuckle at your Range Rover vids - it really is like that isn't it? They can get you so damn frustrated that you seriously consider buying a few gallons of gas and a lighter... But when they are right, there is nothing better.
    Just wanted to let you know that Automatic - and all other OBD2 code readers - only read emissions-relevant codes, i.e. engine and auto trans. OBD2 is an open standard, which is why the code readers on ebay and amazon are so cheap. All other vehicle systems such as the air suspension are proprietary. Building a diagnostic tool that works with the rest of the vehicle is very time intensive - which is why they are much more expensive than an OBD2 code reader :-p I am a part of GAP Diagnostic - we make the IIDTool for Land Rovers (but we are all enthusiasts).

    I bought a super low mileage early L322 with full service history as an occasional luxury transport vehicle. During the 15 months it proved to be the worst car I had ever owned in my 33 years of driving! The compressor stopped working which was a bad electrical connection. Then the rocker gasket started leaking oil quite badly, immediately followed by the water pump leaking most of the coolant down the front of the engine. Then it developed a really bad squeak at the rear which was the Bush for the handbrake cable that had worn out. It got a misfire from oil getting into the spark plug wells which was another gasket failure. Then it started tripping all electrics off for no reason at all which meant disconnecting the battery terminals for 10mins or so to reset the system. The radio went mute but then fixed itself a few weeks later and finally the air suspension stopped working.....except when the car was switched off and locked up when it would do all manners of up and down movements as I watched from the house drinking a coffee. In the end I traded it in for a small hatchback. Good riddance and will never own another Land Rover again.

    Well by the time chain comes knocking at the door typical timing belt is changed 3-5 times an I was lucky to have crankshaft sprocket mounts worn on my prev. used cars with belts and that's a real pain to fix. so ..yeah, some chained engines last 300-400k km, but 200-300k km with jag engine is ok. Its almost 10 years for avg driver.

    I own a 2002 L322 (Vogue TD6), the one with the BMW engine that nobody recommends. I bought it 10 years ago, and it lives in Europe where I use it as a holiday car (5000 miles a year maximum.) Over those 10 yeas Ive had to replace the gearbox )with a reconditioned one,) turbo, air suspension struts (front both sides,) wiper motor, fuel pump, discs all round and handbrake assembly. I took it all on the chin because I was expecting it, and because I had a hunch that the rate of mechanical failures would eventually tail off due to my low annual mileage and careful use. That finally seems to be happening (no significant issues in the last 2 years) although I always keep a cash contingency at the ready. I don't begrudge the costs, I knew what I was getting into and with light use I know each time I replace something I am very unlikely to have to do so again. My car has been repeatedly fully rust proofed with the Krown treatment (even injected inside the panels) and gets steam cleaned underneath every year. I now get compliments from the dealership now, for driving the best example they've seen from that year. Despite some of the hefty bills I've had, even the numbers stack up over time; I bought the vehicle for 13,000 Euros and have spent around 17,000 on repairs, so I've enjoyed owning and driving the ultimate luxury 4x4 for a decade, for a total outlay of 30,000 Euros, most of which has been spread over the 10 years. Obviously this doesn't take account of the inconvenience factor (when the gearbox went I was halfway across Poland) but on the numbers, it actually works out as good value.

Here in Australia people just buy a LandCruiser instead. It's common to see them here with over a million kms on the same engine and gearbox.

    Not true regarding timing chain guides having to be replaced. Frequent oil changes (not the manufacturer recommended 15K intervals) with full synthetic oil keep the guides from wearing. I owned a 2012 L322 with 120k miles that sounded butter smooth even on cold starts.

    • @Johndeerefan198
      @Johndeerefan198 5 років тому +2

      Disconnect the battery and see how the vehicle drops. If it drops too one corner that strut is bad. If the front drops evenly it’s most likely the front EAS control valve same goes for the rear. If the entire vehicle drops evenly with the battery disconnected it’s probably the center EAS control valve right by the compressor. The valve has ORings in it that dry out and go bad. Also the material that is used to dry the air coming from the air compressor can break down over time and plug up the valves and cause them to not seal correctly.
