Fantastic Luke! Thanks for sharing that - it's clearly been exceptionally well maintained and looked after over the years. I hope you had lots of great adventures in it - It's in such good condition that I'm considering keeping it for myself.

Really helpful thank you. I had always assumed the Westminster was higher spec, so good to know.

There is a lot of variability in what can be found on various different Westminsters'. In my opinion - regardless of trim level they are fantastic vehicles.

Same thoughts here, too. All in all a very instructive video.

Thanks for the overview! Couple of pointers: - vogue could be optioned with heated/cooled seats (same as what you showed in the WM) - autobiography is the only one with full leather dash (incl around control panels) and door cards

Great video - thank you. Now subscribed too. The Westminster is a difficult one to pitch as it would depend on which Westminster. There were a few different sets during the L322 life. The one I have (and I think you mentioned as the one people see as the last L322) is a 62 plate 4.4TDV8. Mine was one of the final run in the 62-plate which was a 10th Anniversary Special Edition. I think there were only 250 made. These ones are pretty easy to spot (unless someone has been modifying!) as they had the 'Noble' exterior finish with 20" 10-spoke alloys. Inside, you already pointed out the carpet and pedal differences but you would also find heated and cooled seats in both the front and rear, glass black trim finishes, and the illuminated treadplates. If you get your hands on one of these, you won't be disappointed (...and no I'm not selling!)

I'm new to the idea of a RR and this explains spec perfectly.

Thank you. Love these LR322's

Thank you. i am looking to buy a L322 later this year so this video most helpful.

No worries Jim, give us a call if any of the current stock take your fancy.

Cheers for that

Brilliant well talked thru . Good info for buying .

Very helpful, thank you 👍

you should notice that the autobiography models, got all leather door cards, with chrome speaker grill surrounds and a full leather dash, easily spotted with stitching on the centre vents panel. all other models got plastic, but with a leather top panel. the autobiography models mostly got rear reclining seats optioned too. see the extra buttons on rear door cards. westminster was a sort of mixture of vogue and vogue se. i retrofitted full autobiography interior to my westminster. inc headlining.

I'm normally a spec snob, but the Vogue seems to have everything I'd want. All the other models just add unnecassary stuff I wouldn't use.

First time viewer, thanks for the informative video. I note the silver autobiography is a 2010 but does not have a "gear stick" but rather it benefits from the 'JL round gearknob' whereas, other specs in 2010 did not have the round gearknob. Do we know what year it changed in the vogue and vogue SE?

@fullfat4x4

The 3.6 TDV8 had a “gear stick” and the 4.4 TDV8 has a “gear knob”. 2010 was the cut over year, however it’s not quite as simple as that; in 2009 JLR face lifted the L322 - it received a digital tft dash as well as new front and rear light units, and new stereo head. However the 4.4 TDV8 arrived in 2010. The earliest 4.4 TDV8s I’ve seen are on a ‘60 plate. However I’ve also seen some 3.6 TDV8s on a ‘10 plate and one on a ‘60 plate. TLDR: 4.4 TDV8 = gear knob. 3.6 TDV8 = gear stick. All 5.0SC = gear stick.

@Ibiza210

2010 was the change over year from the 3.6 TDV8 6-speed gear stick to the 4.4 TDV8 8-speed rotating knob. I think mine must have been one of the last 3.6's. It's a '10 plate 3.6 Vogue SE with the 6-speed gearstick.

Just wondering: any differences in sound system?

Are HSEs all earlier models than these? I've seen a couple of ~2007 L322s with HSE on the back

Great video really enjoyed it I have a late 2011 4.4 TDV8 vogue… it has cooled front seats,electric side steps and the factory exterior pack I take it they all would of been factory options fitted to the car? Ah also has rear privacy glass

@fullfat4x4

Жыл бұрын

Hi John, yes heated and cooled seats was an option on the vogue - however as it was quite expensive - most people who wanted the cooled seats stepped up to a Vogue SE. The seats you have in your vogue will be the same type as those found in the Westminster. Like wise the factory exterior pack was an option that could be selected across the range.

The "Westminster" is code word in Land Rover speak for end of the line - use up as many of the left over parts as possible, note there was a westminister on a 59 plate as the 3.6 was rundown and pre facelift, there was also a Westminster P38 on an 02 plate, and laterly the L405 at the end of its production run featured a Westminster spec. I've seen L322 Westminster's with reclining rear seats, adaptive cruise and autobiography wheels. It's easy to get het up on "What is the highest spec" but the truth is even the Vogue has ample equipment - and would be my personal choice as I think they represent the best value.

It’s a good question, the answer is: it depends! There is no perfect Range Rover. Every variant has a known weakness - if you are thinking of buying one do your research. I’ll try and do a video talking about the know weaknesses across the models. But you do need to keep on top of maintenance - in the UK I suggest owners keep £1200 aside each year to cover maintenance. I’d also suggest doing oil changes every 5-6k miles. And addressing MOT advisories as they come up. If looking for a diesel, stick with the 3.6 TDV8 or 4.4 TDV8 - avoid the 3.0 TDV6 found in the Range Rover sport. You should expect a full size Range Rover to be as reliable as a BMW X5 of the same year - the data suggests that the full size Range Rover has just slightly more warranty claims each year compared to the X5.
