Any questions about the L405 Range Rover Vogue.... Just ask!
How about the wheels, would you say the ride is better on the smaller wheels you have or with air suspension do the larger wheels still give a good ride?
@@sscramble larger wheels still give an amazing ride. I have driven one with 22” wheels and it was still great. 👍🏻
Hello mate, I am about to get a L405 in a couple of months but lots of people having mix of opinions about Range Rover reliability and I owned a Range Rover sport and I was a bit unlucky with the car as the engine and gearbox gone the same time I’ve lost about 10k! But I really want to get L405 4.4 V8 anything do I need to be aware of before buying it please l? Much appreciate your opinions.
@@alanarinotts honestly…. In my family we have had probably 10 Range Rover, discovery’s, RR Sports. Some have been amazing and have not put a foot wrong. Others have had a few issues. I don’t think there is much you can do to work out which is going to be which. What I would say is I bought mine with a year warranty and that gave me peace of mind, it has since run out (about a year ago) but it has been great since then too, buy the best you can afford and one that has been looked after and you should be fine. Hope that helps, and good luck with the purchase. 👍🏻
@@Motorflix much appreciate your opinion mate, thanks for the reply!👍
I had an 2008 L322 and travelled over 320,000kms in it, and literally just upgraded to an TDV8 L405 Autobiography. It's the 5th Range Rover I have owned. I once had said to me in my youth, once you own a Porsche, you will never be too far away from owning one again, this is 100% true for Range Rovers.
I have 268k miles (431,304km) on my 2008 L322 (4.4 AJ8). I may soon be time. Do you miss your L322, or have you enjoyed the L405 and never looked back?
My 2008 L322 SC'ed has over 240K miles on it and runs beautifully. I hesitate driving my L405 over my L322.
@@jeanlombos9656what issues have you had with your L405?
I had the 2014 base model, best car I've ever owned
Great cars. Done 140k miles in my L322. I would never be without a Range Rover
I have a 2014 5.0 V8 SC LWB - it has 118k miles on it and in the last 8 months all I've done is an oil/filter/air change and changed out the trans filter and fluid. Nothing has gone wrong on the car. I do plan on doing the front/rear differential fluid the next time I do the oil. And, I disagree on the satnav (at least in the States). I did a nearly 3k summer trip through 3 States using the statnav and it worked flawlessly.
I've got a Discovery 4 that I've owned since new (it's been great, no issues), and I was chatting to the Land Rover/Range Rover specialist during its last service. He's a Lexus/Toyota master mechanic as well as Land Rover/Range Rover - and he now specialises in just Land Rover/Range Rover products. We both had a laugh about that probably being where the money is, and I quizzed him on whether I should really be looking at a Lexus/Toyota product for my next vehicle instead of a Range Rover. He said "it depends - do you want the most reliable car, or the best car?" And that, I think, sums it up beautifully. And yes, I want the best car. :D
i have owned TDV6 2013 since it was 3 years old 29000 miles for 6 years up to 70000 miles now Autobiography in Gold black roof 22 inch wheels and Ivory trim. It has been excellent , the only problem cannot get top rear tailgate to auto close. Had cam belt and brakes replaced and gearbox oil and filter replaced. I am ex Brit motor man purchased the car in UK Ex lease and exported here to New Zealand. Love the vehicle am now approaching 77 so will keep it another 3 years and hope the crankshaft behaves itself. Do not tow or put it under load and garaged at both of my homes. Serviced by non franchise Range Rover specialists at a third of the cost . Would not want the later model with extra screen thankyou. My previous L322 Diesel served me well for 7 years although a bit underpowered. Enjoyed your video. Michael
I also own a L405 4.4 SDV8 Autobiography & I can concur with you. The only thing I’d disagree with is you don’t have all that many options on your SE as my Autobiography does literally have every conceivable extra bar one & that’s a smokers pack lol 😂 Enjoy driving it !
I have the same 405 and TD6. The DEF replacement at 95,000 miles was very expensive. Shook my confidence. Not sure about future purchases.
Just bought a 2020 Autobiography LWB with the 525 HP V8 and its amazing. Close to rolls Royce för 20% of the price. Great Cars!
I have a 2017 sdv8 AB Overfinch, I just love it.
More L405 content please!
Coming up. Doing a 4.4 facelift car, and then the brand new one. Make sure you sub to not miss it.
I drive and love my Jaguar cars since more than 2 decades. XJ 2,7 D, 5,3 l S III, XJ8 etc.. All the controversies, negative experiences about the RR which I regard a phantastic vehicle, spread uncertainty and indecision of buying one. I see so many RR with engine fails and other massive problems. I wish they would be more reliable. Because there is no better Luxury, timeless elegant and noble SUV on the road with such a presence. Buying one, not buying one is the question
SDV8 Vogue SE 2015 here. 👋
Causeway grey, ivory leather, 20” wheels & clear glass.
Love it very much & surprisingly easy to DIY. Changed all the fluids which is essential.
Looking at a 2015 with 39K miles in the V8. Looks new and wife drove it. Problem is they had the car serviced at 3700, 17,000, and 36,000 miles. Very sparingly driven and mostly on short trips by the elderly couple. Looks immaculate and am getting a PPI however the lack of services concerns me. Thoughts?
I would have it looked at once you get it and if it needs anything then get it done. Sounds like a good honest car though. Check it isn't all coked up due to only doing short journeys, but other than that I would say go for it!!
I own a SDV8 2013 with 23.000 miles on it.... what a marvelous piece of machinery!!!!
Look forward to it
owning a Range Rover is wonderful , and it's more amazing if you are a Mechanic , it will be costless . Because if you do all the required service for your own car it will be much much cheaper than fixing a toyota
Any recommendations for a decent warranty company for an L405 ?
Range Rovers are GREAT vehicles. I’ve owned other luxury brands BUT I’ve always gone back to Range Rover. Sure they are pricey to maintain; it’s a Range Rover. I don’t know about owning one as a daily driver. That would be interesting.
Pretty certain there’s quite a few options you don’t have on there that an AB has.. Massage seats, 4 way climate, rear heated and cooled seats, ambient lighting to name a few.
Agreed, it has heated all round but not cooled, missing a sunroof (which I would like) it has ambient lighting but not RGB changeable.
Hey pro tip, if you get like a microfiber rag and put some rubbing alcohol it takes off all the gunk off the steering wheel buttons and really most of the buttons on the car. Bought one 2 months ago and it had sticky buttons all over and 30 min later it was all clean! Just don't go too crazy to where you rub off white print!.
That is brilliant. I know exactly what I am doing this weekend!! Thank you
I'm between a facelift l405 with the petrol supercharged V8 or a newer Defender first edition. Need something rugged yet luxurious. After driving them both, I'm usually torn still!
I went to change the Range Rover for a new defender first edition and just found it a little less luxurious, a bit more “plasticky” if you know what I mean. Still a great car, just has a little “less” for me. Petrol supercharge will guzzle fuel but if you are ok with that then it would be a mega thing!!
If you want luxurious and genuinely rugged then a Lexus RX model is probably your best bet. They're relatively bulletproof.
When you get one you won't to drive or have a lift in anything else .. mine has now done 103,000 just keep it away from the dealers or you will be paying Range rover a lot of money for nothing ,,, Service parts are cheap from Brit parts ..very cheap. Top Car .
im running on loan a 2013 RR 30TDV6 L405 loving it and tempted to buy however im hearing all these stories regards crankshaft failing ???? is this on early models or any year model of TDV6
Mine has now done just over 100,000 miles and is still going strong, just had the inlet manifolds done, which is a common fault on them, across the Disco and the Range. It is very labour intensive and not a cheap job to do. So I would check if this has been done if you are buying one with a few miles. Other than that it is a gem and I adore it. Just done a big trip to the South of France (2500 miles) and it did not miss a beat.
Enjoyed this ,
It is however easy to get carried away with range rover love,
A big proportion of buyers have nothing but grief with these,
Lovely looking and I'd have one today but for the bad reputation, now I'm off to check auto trader. ! 👍👍
Rover drivers impressed when their vehicles go a hundred thousand miles without issues is laughable. That shouldn’t be the exception, it should be the norm.
2014 RR L405, and I jumped off. Nice but Just too expensive. At 60 k miles, all fluids replaced. At 70k, rear diff went, $2k in parts, $1k in labor. Then at 80k miles, again all fluids, brakes, tires, and suggested all coolant hoses and pipes. All this would have been near $6k at an independent. I sold it…felt like I was on a time bomb and a money pit. I had a RRS, 2011 prior and repairs were under warranty. Nice cars but…
Anyone , 2016 range sport v8 diesel any good?
I'm very close to buying one, i might even take a hit on my car as a part ex to get it sooner
Get a good one and you won’t be disappointed 👍🏻
I love them. You couldn't pay me to own one.
Your loss. 😂 they are a dream. (Or at least mine has been) 👍🏻
@@Motorflix I know! I have been so tempted in the past, particularly by the 4.4 Autobiography. They're so much car, and I've driven several belonging to friends, but it's just not worth the repair bills.
@@yonmusak I pray to the Land Rover gods daily that it doesn’t go catastrophically wrong. I am going to do an update film soon on it, as a couple of things have gone wrong and I shall talk through the bills etc. 👍🏻
V8 or v6 ????
Is that the same 3.0 that is in the disco 4
It’s not Royal with the black wheels lad 😂
😂
This will be ageing well 😂😂
Just upgraded the front grille so looks even better now all black trim and facelift grille. Taken even more years off it!!
Get one but get it tested first, your Mental health that is!!
Never even think of buying a Range Rover unless it’s got full warranty for the time you own it there the worse built thing ever
Mine (touch wood) has been as good as gold!!
Also most stolen 😂😂😂 and possibly most unreliable
One of the most unreliable cars ever. Money pit on wheels.
My one hasn’t been over 2 years and 30k miles. It’s been a dream.
Literally everyone I know who comes out with this comment hasn’t owned a RR, you won’t be surprised to learn that if you drive a car with virtually every conceivable feature you can get on a car the chances of something needing attention goes up exponentially, if you’re not willing to take that risk then you’re better off sticking with a Toyota and all the fun that brings.
My 2016 3ltr Vogue SE is an absolute dream of a car and is going nowhere for many years to come.
I’ve an L405 SDV8 Vogue SE 2014 had it 7 years it’s never missed a beat, the most expensive repair it’s had was a door handle actuator on the back right which cost me £200
Mines also in Aintree green looks great in the sunshine
I have a 2008 L322 with 268k miles on it. My ownership cost to date averages 7.8 cents/mile. I don't know any way you could even come close to the comfort, convenience, luxury, and capability of a range rover for that value.
The Luton car park fire illusrates how greater Strange Rovers are...1500 vehicles impacted thanks to JLR. Great Job!!
I have the L322 TDV8 and just about to change it to a 4.4v8 autobiography probably a 2019/2020 can’t wait I love them wouldn’t have any other car. Well I also have a defender 110 an old 1990 version which I’m doing up as per my channel. Land Rover all the way. 🎉
4.4 film coming soon. Just in the process of filming it. All brilliant cars!!
Would this be a good car to do extended Touring / Overlanding ( 1 to 2-month trips ) around Europe? ( Spain, Portugal, The Balkans, Sicily )
It would be super comfortable and amazing yes. I drive mine to South of France and skiing every year and it copes with it perfectly! 👍🏻
