2008 Range Rover Supercharged - I Took My CHEAP L322 On A 900 Mile Road Trip, Completely Unprepared

Going for broke! With only about 50 test miles on the Cheap Auction L322, I set off on a 900 mile trip to test the reliability, MPG, comfort and highway manners!

As a german I just want to thank you for being in the right lane as much as possible
This stuff is awesome. Keep it coming
Nice! I just bought an '08 L322 Supercharged, and I love it.
Quick side note - is the low coolant warning because of a bad sensor, or like my ‘06 Sport HSE, just a saturated old coolant float that doesn’t rise with the coolant level? I thought it was the sensor, too. Also - just drove my Sport from LA to Philly in June. No issues, over 20 mpg average, and I’m at 198k. When they’re looked after they’re better than people think.
Love the truck. Looking to buy one in Oct. Thanks for the videos as this gives us a look into ownership. 1st time posting BTW

Thanks for watching!
Never a doubt! I need to do this with mine and see how much mileage I can get.
Time lapse music and all!👍👍
Damn good video
Nice job with the video. I love the truck. I think you got a good one there. Did you make it back home safe and sound?

Sure did. No other issues to report.
Figured it wouldn’t have issues there or even back….. The straight pipped RRC things might have been a lil different . 👍🏼
Happy Holidays, I’m a little late to the party but our similarities are uncanny, lol. We too had a LR3, currently own both a 100 series Toyota and a 08 L322 4.4 gas Lux. We also buy and drive a few different cars/trucks and we’ve been looking for a clean rust free (we live in Maine) post facelift jag 4.4 for a little while; just picked up the 08 Dec 11th. Funny you mention both the little shift flare (which I also momentarily noticed) and the cigarette lighter not working; did you figure that last one out? I bought a Gap IID tool from lucky 8 so I’ll be head deep into resetting/verifying suspension heights, resetting the TCM after service, baselining a touch of deferred maintenance and giving the Rover a thorough go over when I get home from my current work trip. Did you figure out the R/T on the wheel, I’m sure it doesn’t stand for Road/Track…. Of note I’m not sure if in the 1st part of the video that the OBS Ford F-250 with the winch bumper was yours or the BMW but I buy and sell OBS Fords and have been known as a bit of a E21/E28/E39 guy, comical if those are yours to! Anyway, have a Merry Christmas!

Yup. Both are mine! Thanks for watching! I never really looked into the lighter since the one in the console does work.
are you a dealer? i think only dealers are allowed to buy at auctions.
What radar detector do you have?
between the 4.4 jaguar petrol v8 that came out from 2006-2009 and this 4.2 supercharged v8 that also came out in the same period, which engine would you recommend? and does this supercharged engine also suffer from the same timing chain issues that the early 5.0 supercharged v8's suffered from or is it more reliable provided you keep up with genuine parts service and maintenance?

No chains issues with the 4.2 - So far I’d say it’s the superior motor. I stay away from the 5.0s

Any 10-12 L322 timing chain issues or noteworthy items? I really want one of these and I like the digital dash.
How does a 2008 HSE V8 compare to a 2008 HSE supercharged? The supercharged version is hard to find, worth settling for the naturally aspirated?

I think the SC has the upper hand. Do the cooling hoses under the SC and you should be good!
How much money did you put into it to make it run OK since you got it. They scare me sometimes. I'd really love to drive one but not take care of one.

Sounds like L322 life isn’t for you.
Um i have taken mine over 1000 miles multiple times, I have an 08 too i think they were built with better quality
I would not own an out of warranty JLR product. There are plenty for rent on Turo at cheap prices.
