Change the gearbox oil , I didn’t on mine and it lasted 86k miles, 1 new box later I changed the oil each year and that box lasted 140k miles, I’m on my 3rd gearbox now. Car has done 235k miles all done by me . I bought the car new in 2002 and still drive it every day and drive it through France and down into Spain every year for the last 15 years. Great car that I look after and it looks after me , I will never sell it , it’s worth nothing but everything to me . 21 years of ownership 👏👏👏👏

Hi Greg, great review :) I have similar experience with a 2007 3.6 that I bought on 180 000 miles last June. I've done 6500 miles and I do not regret as it is a very comfortable family car. I had only one issue so far, I had to change an antifreeze hose. The car is great for its aftermarket price. All repair and upgrade videos are welcome :)

Great review, I don't agree with traveling low miles but hey! each to his own. I am 59 years old and owned may cars in my lifetime. I own my 4th Range Rover, it is a 2011 4.4 L322 se vogue. In my opinion there is no better car in the world! I wouldn't think twice about touring the world in this car. I do wish I had kept my 1998 p38 2.5 ltr diesel. Still miss it.....

ANY car over 100k miles will have 'issues' . People love driving their Range Rovers so put a lot of miles on them. That said RR's should carry a scanner like other cars carry a spare wheel.

With regard to the antiroll bar bushes replace them yes and also if you look at some owners forums somewhere you will find that JLR came up with a fix, all they do is place a rubber spacer under the bush of the antiroll bar and clamp it all back down, there spacer looks like it's about 2" x 2" and about a 1/4 of an inch thick on the pics I have seen, the rear tail lights also leak which is probably why the previous owner resorted to drilling some holes in them, hope this helps

Great Review Greg 👏: I bought a TDV8 3.6 270BHP on a 08 plate last year for £8.5k with 107K miles on clock. One owner from new , a Doctor, full service history. Just gone through MOT, no issues. Only money spent is full service and oil change plus gearbox fluid and seals, not bad for one year. I'm retired so not doing a lot of miles. My take on subject is, car cost not far short of £100k new, with all the whistles and bells one would expect. If I found myself faced with a £4k bill for, Gearbox or something major, it would STILL represent a good buy for money. Best car in world ....... Only issue I have at mow, like you, is rear wiper and wash. It's all one unit and my last L322 had same issue ( also is cause of tailgate rust ) I got a used part off E.Bay. Mine is Buckingham Blue, but looks black and the doctor blacked it out. All lettering front and rear are black, side vents are black, door handle covers and wing mirrors are black, side steps are black. Wheels are original chrome as original and are mint. Other than Range Rover on rear is TDV8, in black, making the car a second thought to the Boy Racers. So the economy of a diesel, but with the look and grunt of the Supercharged. I think black wheels too 🤔 would be too much. Look forward to following your journey.

Hi SG, does it say transmission failsafe prog on the dash. I had it on mine, I went on the forums for Landyzone. If you lift the leather gaiter round the selector lever you will notice a black lever to the right, without trapping your fingers lol slide the selector to N and lift the lever it should work. If not it indicates a deeper issue. Also have the gearbox serviced and a new filter. As Greg advised it's NEVER a good idea to buy blind specially with Rangeys. It can be something as simple as a fuse or a major money pit job. If you get air suspension inactive msg, don't fear the worse straightaway, it may not be an airbag split ( unless it's down on one side only) Check the 50A red blade fuse in the rear loadspace fusebox. You will see 3 50A fuses just below the Air susp relay. It's the middle one you need to check.

Great video, thank you. I am particularly interested in your anti-roll bar bushing replacements. I have a since new 2004, L322 with 217k much loved miles. When I go over cobble stones there is a rattle slight rattle sound in the front area of the car. There was some debris in the road that I hit at highway speed with the lower trim across the front. It did not visually break the trim, but it made a thud and I wonder if something is loose down there or if it is the anti-roll bar bushings you describe. I would love it if you could record the rattle noise you hear please. Regarding the finishes, I am glad you removed the chrome wing mirrors, I suspect those were not factory spec. I vote for keeping as true to original spec as possible. I look forward to you future reports with your L322, she is sharp, congratulations.

Hi Jan! I haven't yet replaced the front anti-roll bar bushes. I have since found out that they are glued to the anti-roll bar and that you need to replace the entire bar, which involves removing the front subframe 🤦🏻‍♂️ Its not really a rattle, it's more of a 'clunk' when you go over a bump, particularly when there is articulation across the front axle.

Essentially replacing all the oil in the system. It was the same price quoted by the other garages for the normal service plus it was a specialist. I'm glad I had it done, and given me piece of mind. When it was changed they said oil wasn't contaminated but needed doing. Hope that helps. If travelling is difficult you could try Bodsys mega flush as I think he's mobile. Best of luck.

Hi smc515, I think, due to age of the L322 now, its getting harder to find one in immaculate condition (unless you pay through the nose!). I imagine most buyers have to a fair bit of cosmetic work to do if the previous owner was a bit careless... glad you're happy with the end result though!! My next video/videos will be around repairing the tailgate rust, I have no idea what going to be behind that paint 🫣

My first year of owning my 59 plate L322 tdv8, 90k miles. The dealership I bought it from had a relationship with a garage. Went their for a service two months after purchase.. low and behold, found out all the break-lines needed replacing, as they were so corroded I struggle to see how it would have been missed. From my perspective, it felt wrong, especially since that dealerships garage was the one who supposedly looked over the vehicle prior to going up for sale. So took it to another grage. That was £1300. Then, both front brackets went, another £500. Then the common fault, turbo hose..all in all, love the car, my advice would be to get the vehicle checked over by an independent. But if you buy this car, understand that failures can result in heavy months.

Nice and proper take on l322. Why did you pick 3.6L tdv8 and not 4.4L tdv8? If i recall corectly from Sam garage channel with those bigger engines was also newer gearbox, 8 speed i think, so was it fuel economy or something else?

I need to remove the rear lettering to repair the tailgate so i'm going to replace with 'titanium' lettering/wheels/trim, which is the same colour as the tailgate trim which is standard on the car already. Hopefully this turns down the 'bling' element but doesn't veer into 'failed drug dealer' territory! 😂

@@greggyctv3809 yeah Titanium lettering will look good on it. I’ve got a 62 plate one that I paid £11,500 for as well, they’re great cars for the money! How do you find the 3.6 engine? I’ve got the 4.4 TDV8 in mine

@@jay-xo9dx I'm really happy with it, although i've not driven the 4.4 to compare! I was shocked at the 0-30ish acceleration for such a big car it pulls well, and for MPG i'm getting 18-20 but I typically only do very short journeys, i think the 4.4 is actually better on fuel but I only learnt about this too late!

Firstly your content is great… but your editing skills need improvement, as your audio skips and jumps innaturally all over the place at the beginning!!! Secondly, I was literally yelling at you dragging your finger through the thick dust on your paintwork two seconds after you’ve said you want to do cosmetic work like refurbishing your wheels and buffing your headlights! Get a good valet, have it cleaned professionally and consider having a ceramic coating/polish. Your mileage is against you, but having your alloys refurb’d, as well as your interior & paintwork in good nick will definitely help your car retain value. For example the wash wiper arms are notorious for bubbling with rust around 90k miles and are expensive to replace but any potential new owner from the LR/RR comminity WILL look at the condition of both interior and exterior… even things like having clean RR rubber mats in your footwells, the fridge/console lid being intact, the roof headliner not being stained etc, as any knowledgeable RR potential owner WILL look at the condition of these because theyre costly to replace. Just some advice, the car will automatically draw in and close the tailgate if you soft close it - theres alot of glass in it and they tend to shatter if owners jeep dropping the tailgate with a bang! As for your lights they’ve been deliberately drilled by a knowledgeable previous owner; its an old trick to encourage the inside of the light not to fill with water or fog up rather than replacing the whole light. I’ll be honest, with 106,000 mileage, the evidence of possible prang damage you’ve pointed out & the state of your alloys, I do think you’ve overpaid by a good £3k. Another tip, your battery level is crucial, let that drop to even 85% and you’ll start experiencing all sorts of electrical gremlins; which can present as something far more sinister if you’re not aware… in my first L322 I went down a costly investigation of a possible broken wire behind the dashboard in pursuit of a flashing infortainment screen for example. My car was also being very choosy about locking and unlocking, which was problematic as it once locked itself with my dog in the boot. It was all down to the bloody battery! Perhaps with the exception of replacing your start button the majority of the work you’re talking about wouldn’t be possibly for those without mechanic experience/know how so I do agree with other comments that it’s not a fair representation of running costs. I’m now on my 2nd L322, and Ive learnt that investing in a gearbox service at purchase is worthwhile as is building a good relationship with a local LR specialist. My personal opinion is that you’ll encounter issues you’re not experienced to fix & could potentially make issues worse trying to fix it because these cars are sensitive & complicated beasts!….but if you’re going to try and look after it yourself you absolutely must get a plug in diagnostic tool!! LR have online service history on their cars (i believe for cars manufactured 2012 onwards) but if you ask your LR specialist nicely they can input your service history into the online database which means you dont lose any records and you build the service history content online. Its like Teaco, every little helps!

Thanks for the advice Tinkerbella! This is/was literally my first ever YT video recorded on my iPhone, edited on my iPad so was never going to be polished (I have no background is video/photography at all), it was literally used to learn the end-to-end process for creating/editing/uploading video to YT, and if I could be arsed to do it on a regular basis 😂. Yea I bought this without viewing it (lockdowns) at a time when used car prices were at their peak so i've probably taken a 💩 in terms of depreciation, especially with some of the minor cosmetics that don't show up on photo's (front bumper). In terms of running cost being accurate, I did explicitly say "if you can't do mechanical work, then avoid buying" in the video. I also can't predict other peoples potential issues and costs for them or a garage to fix..... this is MY ownership experience, thats all I can go off. I also intend to be the last owner of this car so things like online service history/resale preferences etc are not an issue for me. You're 100% right about the battery. My car randomly didn't start back in Feb so I changed the battery as it was 5 years old, according to the history file, and it did cure a couple of other niggles (parking sensors?!)

Every thing about our pride a joy is personal, but black alloys on any car in my opinion is a no no they never look clean, there is no contrast against The body work colour. As I say it’s personal but black on black !!! Leave it to Range Rover Sport.

I'm with you Jeff! I think i'm going to just tone down the silver to a darker shade, because I definitely prefer the contrast. Having done some research, black on black on a Vogue just looks like a big blob 😂

From the prices presented, if you think the Range is expensive.. don’t buy a BMW. G’day

Lol i've had multiple BMW's and you're correct, parts are much more expensive!

I personally urge you to not black anything out. It looks chavvy and boring and inevitably worse finished than factory if you're talking about a homemade paint job or stickers you got off ebay.

Unrealistic review ....you are obviously giving a false reflection of running costs. You have the competence too undertake your own repairs. In the rea. World 90% of buyers would not be able to undertake this work, therefore your running costs should reflect this. Not what it cost you!

Hi Jeff, thanks for your comment. I agree, if you can't undertake repair work yourself, the repair work would be significantly higher. This is why I mentioned the story of the front control arm bushes (maybe you hadn't got to that part yet). My intention for this video was to provide running cost for my vehicle in my situation, I can't give running cost for other people and their cars as I have no idea what their car/situation is. I also cant provide costs for people who need garages to repair their car, as garages all have different rates/levels of service. I also can't predict what can/will go wrong with other people cars and provide estimated costs, so i'm not exactly sure what you expected of me Jeff!
