I’m in a similar position, I have a 2006 RRS that I purchased brand new & it’s done 80,000 in great condition inside & out & like your wife mine loves the car. I have been guilty in the past of changing my new cars every 3 years or when they tweaked something which made me feel I was driving something outdated & meant I wasted a lot of money. To replace my car with the new RRS is going to cost £95,000 & I do 2000 miles a year which I just can’t justify, my car is now almost worthless to someone else but to me it still looks good ( I have the full Overfinch body kit) & more importantly drives fine & if I get a bill it’s still a lot cheaper than the depreciation I’ve experienced in the past buying new cars. You just have to swallow your pride driving an old car.
I do love the look of the new RRS but could never justify the cost or the ridiculous insurance premiums. I'm of the mind that the L322/320 are the last of the traditionaly styled Range Rovers and as such is more attractive to me. At the moment they are at the bottom of their depreciation curve and a good one, like your one owner car, will soon start to appreciate. I'm a big fan of classic cars and have a couple as you can see from other videos on my channel. My RRS is heading to being a classic to me and unless something dramatic happens I'm pretty sure I'll be happy to continue enjoying it..............In fact I'd love a defender 90 (an old one of Course) maybe sometime soon!!! David
its a late thanks david for a great video, bought a 2012 myself and you played a part in it so thanks again, hope you hold on to yours for years to come.
Thank you. I hope you have years of enjoyable motoring in your RRS I'm glad I have helped in the decision making. I think they are great and still love mine, after almost 7 years, not always trouble free, then it's a rare car that isn't. I like the L320 probably more than when I first bought it. I think the styling is the last of the "classically styled' Range Rover and I reckon the prices will start to increase soon for good ones. My only issue, as I've said in a few videos is that I don't cover many miles a year, however it't staying for now. There will be more content to come soon on the RRS, it's just that the restoration of my 1961 Rover P4 and '68 Lotus Elan is taking a lot of time. I hope you enjoy your Range Rover....which model did you go for? Cheers David
Hi david I'm andy I've got a 62 plate L320 3.o autobiography in Orkney grey and I've had it since march and you definitely influenced my purchase, I've serviced it, will call bodsy for a gearbox service, I'm in stockport area, not sure where you are but thanks for your inputs @davidbaugh
I have just had to order a new compressor for my rrs, and new plastic cover and fixings. Every single screw and bolt rusted and perfectly rounded off. But that being said I still love it.
Nothing more annoying than stubborn, rusted fixings. A day after I bought mine I noticed it was listing to one side, the dealer I bought it from replaced it...not a good start. I too love the RRS, I had a Freelander from new and traded it in after 14 tears of reliability, apart from the head gasket of course.
Thanks for going to the trouble of putting this together ... I have just parted with my 2007 RRS, replacing it with a 2013 RRS - the difference is massive, mainly in the 'specialness' feeling from the interior. Got a few jobs to do, as the bushes etc need replacing after 100,000 miles, but very happy with the car. Looked at a 2012 L322 which felt old fashioned compared to the L320 - I was not expecting that! Keep up the good work.
Sorry for the late reply. Many thanks for the comment, hopefully more content coming soon. I must say the interior of the next generation is gorgeous and is a tempting proposition, however I'm still loving the L320 and like the now retro styling!!! plus they are such good value now. Love to hear how you get on with your new toy. Cheers David
@@davidbaugh No probs re the reply - I should have said, my 2013 RRS is last of the L320's, so like you, enjoying the retro styling - has aged well, in my opinion. Suspension is talking a lot - bushes, mainly ..... done the drivers side front ARB bush, but that's it so far ..... it's got a couple of medium distance runs coming up in the next few weeks, which I'm looking forward to ... Kent to Manchester and back this week, then Kent to Halifax and back the week after ... looking forward to the journeys.
With you all the way David. Mine is also a 2010 L320. The annual mileage on mine is about double of yours. All the familiar problems and DIY solutions including WD40 penetration fluid followed by WD40 liquid grease on the steering UJ, so still original. I just love the vehicle and it is worth far more to me than I could sell her for. It goes like sh!t off a shovel and makes me smile. There simply isn’t any other vehicle I want to drive, apart from my Disco 3 which I use for work as a Farm vehicle. However, even though the equivalent aged D4 is worth double what the RRS is, the Range Rover is special. The only vehicle that can go anywhere in the World, including Buckingham Palaces, with pride!
I've always wanted a RRS and took the plunge 6 years ago and although it's had a few issues, what car doesn't, I still enjoy getting in it and driving it and as you say puts a smile on my face. I'll be doing a full service soon and tackling a few niggley issues which I should have sorted before. So plenty more content in the offing... I do fancy a Land RoverSeries 2 or 3 to go along side the RRS, but my other cars need restoring first. Cheers David
Restricted performance usualy only happens when the second turbo kicks in, resist the desire to boot it when the engine is cold but eventualy they all go.
I also had to have the turbo drain pipe replaced with a modified pipe as I was leaving my own private Fog Bank behind when I accelerated hard and the second turbo kicked in. All fine since it was changed.

Sounds like a nice spec and that's a great colour. Certainly worth a gearbox flush. I'm based in North Birmingham.
@@davidbaugh thanks for your message 👍
Another helpful vid, good to hear from actual owners! Keep enjoying the car.
Many thanks. They are great cars, they just need a little attention to keep them happy. More content coming soon. cheers David

Thanks for the videos on the Range very informative ..just out of curiosity do you still own the Range..
Thanks for the comment. Yes I still have my RRS. I do have some videos coming soon.
Thanks will look forward to those

@@davidbaugh ah yes a mod I need to do as well. Been putting it off as the service instructions make it sound very complex
I too looked at doing the job myself but, I had it replaced by a local independent mechanic. No more Fog......
