    Nice to see some RR content again! Since you sold the zed its the only car we share. Will be nice to see you taking it on a longer journey, i will be doing that for the first time this week leaving for spain from the Netherlands. Getting some nice 20 inch wheels from a scrapyard and investing in pirelli scorpion verde rubber (current rr tyre) will transform the looks and ride, that might be a nice upgrade.

    You should do wheel alignment after messing with suspension stuff.
    I had the same problem with steering angle sensor on my Z4 after putting new lower control arms and wheel alignment fixed that. It's just a good practice to do that occasionally.

    Hey Joel, instead of saying that 80% of your viewers aren't subscribed, you should say that 20% of viewers already are and that numbers are increasing consistently. Apparently that's called social proof and the idea is that you don't want people that haven't subscribed yet to feel it's okay to do so as so many others haven't. And the increasing bit is important as apparently also people have a tendency of believing in things being trends. Anyway just a thought. Love the content anyway.

    Currently on my third Range Rover l322 over two decades. Truly magnificent vehicle and although my cars have been 5-10 years old when purchased I have had a generally very positive experience (and that even in Switzerland where garage labour rates perhaps twice that of the UK). And if driven mostly with a light foot the Super Charged has not been TOO thirsty. Shame LR muted the exhaust so much.

    Hi Joel. Another good video. I'm a qualified mechanic and also my best mate is a land rover independent tech. We have talked about the M62 engines and their weaknesses many a time and i wanted to ask you if you have looked at the state of the timing chain guides. I would hate for you to spend the money fixing the issues to find that the guides are wearing really low and just a ticking time bomb. I'm posting a link to a video on a BMW channel I follow. The X5 uses the same M62 engine. ua-cam.com/video/MMENfbp5HNA/v-deo.html&ab_channel=NathansBMWWorkshop
    If nothing is done about them by 150,000 miles, then it's only a matter of time before a whole load oif expensive repairs can happen.
    Hope that the info is useful to you and interested to hear what Richmond LR have to say about yours.
