Buying a Range Rover: Things I Would NEVER Do Again (L322 Ownership)

Get the 5.0 Supercharged 510bhp L322 amazing vehicle. Had ours 7 years, only had 1 failed injector.

I buy them at 2 to 3 years old with around 20k and keep them to around 8 year old with 80 to 90k on clock, Have found that is pretty much the sweet spot for most vehicles.

The L322 is a legendary vehicle and seems to be a modern classic now. Many try other cars and then often come back. I would recommend an Autobiography. I upgraded from a 2004 Td6 Vogue to a 2011 AB 4.4 TDV8 (with 163k on the clock) and the spec difference is so much more special over the standard models. So easy to work on apart from the rust issues of the later cars.

We had a 2010 L322 with the NA 5.0 V8. (had about 115-120k miles) Bought it running rough & was told it was just the high pressure fuel pumps. After going through the entire fueling system and still being in limp mode, we found out there was a hole in one of the cylinder walls. How it was still driving and starting is something no one can figure out haha

I sold my 4.4 tdv8 a couple of months ago, whilst I enjoyed it I’m so over it now. Moved onto a Audi A6 Allroad BITDI and haven’t looked back.

Lovely car Lucy! I’m in love with my L322 even though it has loads of issues 😂 keep up the good work

The 4.4 tdv8 2010/12 or going back to an older model 4,2 super charged, maybe the 4.4 ajv8 petrol( jaguar engine) they're out there but don't come up that often.

About pneumatic suspension and the car in general. People forget that it is a 70,000 money car. Even after 10, 15, 20 years, it's still a 70,000 money car and needs to be serviced like a 70,000 money car! Most "bad" cars are simply not properly maintained. Even oil change. As far as I know, if the air suspension is cleaned once a year, it lasts a long time. Mine had the pump filter replaced. The only thing that needed to be done to suspension.

I will carry on watching. It's nice to see a couple interested in cars where most think of just getting to a to b😁 Loved Landrovers since I was 9 as Uncle had a 2A. On my third. Had Range Rover classic and now my P38 4.6v8. Owned him 12 years last week👍 Never sat in an L322. I live in Kent so if you ever want to drive my P38 we can chat😁 P38 won't beat the L322 as bigger interior and better spec but I do love my P38. Enjoy your holiday 😎🌞

get one like mine it's higher spec than the Westwood and has lots of things the autobiography comes with and more it's the Vogue SE 4.4V8 diesel Reg is L28 SKS

Have been watching you since the first video when you guys purchased the L322. Loved watching the adventures you had with it, the gremlins you end up fixing while owning the car. Hope you guys will stay with the L322 family cause I’m just about a few yt Range Rover videos away from buying one. Don’t know what my other half has to say about it, but I guess the mistress is worth the divorce 😂 keep up the nice videos! sending hugs from Poland!

5 litre petrol supercharged. Drive one, you won’t look at diesel again.

L322 2006 4.2 SC on 196,000 miles and going strong!

I’m not keen on petrol engines in the RR, IMHO the torque of the diesel suits the character far better and of course the cost in the UK will be enormous. I loved my L405 SDV8, a step up in refinement and performance, quite economical for the engine size and vehicle weight. Discovery or even new Defender will be more practical, if you can do without a bit of luxury, and be more capable off road of course.

Next car if you can afford it: find the cheapest 5th gen defender. Or perhaps disco 4? Disco 5 is a little boring, but maybe a higher spec? Take us shopping with you! Would make for fun content too.

Excellent 👍

2012 L322 Autobiography Ultimate edition. For the views, for its rarity, for its Beauty let’s not forget. 500 total worldwide. It’s a win, win. Good luck finding one.

If you think your 3.6 was thirsty, a petrol L322 wil blow you away fuel cost wise. Plus they're likely to feel slower than the 3.6 unless you buy a 4.2 Super charged or a 5.0. The former will be old pretty old and the latter will be rare and pricey. History is key on any car but especially these. Lots of low/mid mileage cars are being sold precisely because they're due big jobs that the owner wants to avoid. So prioritise history and condition over age & mileage. I'd recommend a L322 4.4TDV8. More power and torque than your 3.6 and noticably better on fuel thanks to 8 speed gearbox. Anybody who says don't service an autobox, especially on a L322 needs their brain testing.
