Good introduction, insult Scotland. Do you really think that is appropriate or necessary?
@@billybhoy32
It was a joke buddy 👍🏻 Maybe the English are still upset we hammered them 0-0 at Wembley 😉🏴
VERY original idea buddy :) maybe you should try not to take ideas from top gear episodes next time
Can you do the challenge again but with a toyota?
bet
Not even gone past Glasgow he’s got a smoking exhaust, steaming engine bay and a engine warning light.
This is why I don’t want a Range Rover 🤣
The other reason I don't want a range Rover is that I can't afford it
Ur a acting like you can afford one. Idiot 🤣
@@thesavageone_3605 hehe noooo. At least not now
You sounded like a proper Range Rover owner when you said “it broke down but that could happen to any car” 😂
I guess Land Rover's bad reliability reputation isn't unjustified.
Old Range Rover before BMW picked up was good.
@@max33kick I don't think it was ever good from family experience, but its just wasn't much worse than competitors. The problem is they haven't really gotten any better reliability wise over time, while pretty much every other manufacturer has. Equally, usually its the electronics that cause problems, so you could argue in this case that it really was just unfortunate rather than something that only would have happened to a range rover
What I find annoying is you spend 100K on a car and in about 10 years it's basically needing 1000,s spent on them with only around 100k miles on them
@@philiphinton6259 I wish I knew what that was like (being in a position to spend 100k on a car) 🤣🤣🤣
@@philiphinton6259 Toyota engines are the boss!
top gear flashbacks
I miss the OG top gear
yess, basically with the same car manufacturers JLR
My childhood is coming back
Except they didn't do it in a banger
Top gear defo faked it caah they blurred out the timer in the xj
Mate, if you keep putting out bangers like this, your channel is going to explode!
Appreciate that, thank you
Facts☄☄
@Asif lmao
@Asif bruh you’ve never even owned a rover stfu
@Asif no chance you owned a Rover that was made after 2005
Land Rover. Turning owners into mechanics since 1948.
Car could possibly be leaking fuel and Joel decides to have a lye down 😂
Meh it's diesel, it's not as dangerous as gasoline. It wont vaporize and explode with a spark
Respect the amount of effort gone into this video - despite the breakdown!
Respect to you for watching it! 🙏🏻
Joel, you've really transcended the 'car dude' channel genre and have turned into a legitimate short film maker-sincerely and literally. You see things the way and artist does, and know how to capture that and share it via beautiful and evocative images, and communicating with unique point of view and a real sincerity that shines through. I know that's not the easiest thing to do driving along alone or sitting in the middle of nowhere talking into a camera...! Along with, of course, some awesome and insightful car content...and as an '03 Z4 3.0 owner I obviously appreciate that as well. You've got a special talent at this, which is pretty rare amidst the usual basic stuff that rolls by endlessly here (nothing wrong with them, they're just doing something very different from what you do with these.) Think you're going to have a very interesting future making all kinds of content, on many platforms, as a genuine visual artist. Not a lot of people that start one of these can truly make a career out of it, you definitely can. I know a little a bit about what I'm talking about here, so trust me lol. Cheers and keep up the great work...!
Thank you so much 👍🏻

A land rover breaking down? Never saw that coming
They the most expensive shit boxes . Luxury inside shite engineering
@@MrWookielover that describes literally 99% of all luxury cars
@@lbnewell23 literally doesn’t🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@lbnewell23 there are many luxury cars that are incredibly reliable with excellent engineering.
@@Mohsong Lexus and Volvo are basically it
Man you never disappoint with your videos. Thank you for this, after I'm done watching this, I'm gonna watch Clarkson's race against the God again.
Thanks so much!
Fair play for staying so calm when things went wrong. Great video as always, the fact it stopped you completing the challenge didn't take anything away from the video in the slightest
Thanks buddy. Am glad you still enjoyed the video!
I did this trip in a 16 year old Lexus LS430 with 120k miles on the clock and orginal tired air suspension.
The fuel filler cap string that let it hang while I fill, broke. I was livid.
Lol. Utter garbage.
It is good you got the full Land Rover experience with that break down. 😂
I think I road test mile for mile is needed against a few manufacturers. Lots is down to driver I think.
I love the transparency of the video, well done Joel, I would like to buy this exact Range rover vogue, my favourite colour from the inside, love it.
I love this channel. It’s my new top gear. Natural born presenter is Joel.
Thanks so much
Great video Joe, I loved how you kept it super-realistic and amazingly simple all the way through. Cars go wrong all the time and I really appreciate you reporting how you tackled that issue. I am a road trip person and motorist & really enjoyed the trip you did. Keep up the good work and god bless you.
Thanks so much for the kind feedback, I’m glad you enjoyed the video!
@@itsjoel Np brother..Keep it up 👍
Classic Land Rover! My Discovery prematurely ended a trip last year due to a pretty hefty diesel peak, and had to take the big silver taxi home (courtesy of the RAC).
An L405 in limp mode... who'd have thought it.
Threatened dealer with legal action and finally got a refund on the utter turd that was my 4.4 Vogue SE.
How old was it when you purchased it Tony?
Same here…..£101k 4.4 TdV8 Autobiography rejected due to transmission errors, suspension faults and air con issues. Replacement car accepted after waiting 4 months in a loaner and broke down on Day 2. Second car rejected, money repaid and currently in a Q8 which starts and stops when I want it to. Lesson learnt.
@@marcusskyfall 4 years old, low miles, full dealer history. Wouldn't touch another JLR product, im back in an AMG that works every single time I get in it
@@tonybhogal8112 wow, full service history and yet you still had all those problems, JLR need to rethink their manufacturing processes/methods. My favourite vehicles but I'm put off by all the disaster stories 😕
@@marcusskyfall I absolutely loved it when it worked, but it started costing me money in terms of business so it had to go back.
Was chatting with a JLR bod at Goodwood last week they have a new Head Honcho apparently, and his primary goal is to sort the quality issues. Fingers crossed it works because they are amazing products let down with crap quality
I just wanna say how good your videography skills are great! Such a great film, I have alot of time for your videos.
You're a brave guy carrying on driving a potentially broken very expensive range rover😉
Please make more of these videos where you go on long road trips, i love them
Loving these style of videos you're doing! Like a Car Throttle/Top Gearesque vibe
Glad you’re enjoying the content! Thanks for the comment
Car throttles trying to replicate top gear badly though, this guys got his own twist on things. Keep it up bud
Great video, you're very good at what you do. You're destined for greater things.
Appreciate that, glad you enjoyed the video thanks !
Very enjoyable video, great to see what goes on behind the scenes when things don’t quite go to plan !
Cracking video again Joel, can’t believe I’ve just spent 40 minutes watching it. But time flys when you’re enjoying what you watch I suppose
Cheers mate
Awesome video. So much respect for the effort you put into your channel. Keep it up! in the future you'll be happy that you did.
Whatever the outcome, I loved this video. Visuals, cinematography & editing superb, commentary & content, fantastic.
It's another winner for me! 👌
I appreciate that! Thanks so much for watching 👍🏻
It's a difficult situation mate - so often the warnings mean nothing. You got unlucky this was one time it actually had an impact. Quality video regardless 👌
"this is the best car to do this" some miles later: everything is licking and exploding :D
btw, great video, greetings from italy!
its 2021. We don't ignore warning lights, we clear them. Nice video
Great presentation skills it’s like watching a professional tv personality
I appreciate that, high praise! Thank you.
A typical Range Rover ownership day. Best day of my life was when I got rid one of these.
Keep the great work mate!
I love that a sleep may have sorted the car in your mind lmao. I often fix a leak by sleeping
At that point I was still wondering if perhaps it had just overheated, but was definitely wrong 😂
Funny thing is that you had a luxury motor that couldn't make it but in a Nissan micra you would've smashed it lol
@@brendanmoloney89 Exactly, this Range Rover seems pretty new. I've had a Chevrolet Cruze for 10 years now, never had to tow it. EVER.
I love your content!! Keep it up!😁😁👍🏻
Thank you
Could happen in any car.. But.... In a range rover the odds are stacked even more against you. 😬
Sorry but it would never happen in a land cruiser (or pretty much any Toyota products) I’m just saying.
@@rizwanwali4223 So the multiple times the fuel pump shutdown in my Dads 2015 Landcruiser v8, hydraulic valve lifters (requiring and top end overhaul) and all the air suspension issues he had with his previous Landcruisers were fake? A breakdown can happen in any car no matter how reliable or not they are 🤷♂️
@@ethansenior9918 I agree, any car could break down....
You should have done the journey in a Toyota Landcruiser. A land rover would barely get you from John O' Groats to Lands end in a week.
Here we go. Typical Toyota-phile🤦
Yes but has to sit in it for 15 hours. That means it has to be a nice place to be
But it got from London to John O' Groats No??
Toyota is a terroist vehicle
woah...how have I not discovered this channel before?! Awesome video. Subscribed.
Thanks so much!!
The quality of your content has come leaps and bounds mate - and i can see its paying off with the subs! well done
Brilliant video mate, some lovely shots and really professionally presented all round. Gutted for you that you were let down by the car but never mind. Great effort, all the best going forward I'll keep an eye out for your next adventure.
This channel is amazing, keep up the quality content!
I did LE to JOG in one hit on a KTM 990 Motorcycle a few years back. 18 hours Door to Door. No Motorways, no breakdowns. 1 x 15 min power nap in Edinburgh. I had an L322 RR, but sold it at 55K miles. Ticking time bomb in my wallet.
About 20y ago I was working across the road from Harrods in London, I left there at 19:00 sat Eve in a Astra 1.7 Diesel van , I arrived at Wigan ,. At 21:40, didn't stop and floored it, but that was what there wasn't as many speed cams on the M way, I don't think it could be done now.
Watching this just after getting back from covering 500 miles at an average of 83.6mph (just under 6 hours) across northern Spain in my L322 Range Rover Vogue 4.4 TDV8 (older body-shape, same engine and box as this). Not a hitch in mine, maybe yours was too new! :P
26mpg too! :)
Amazing video! Didn’t expect this to happen. Please try this again in something like a Jaguar F-Type. Could be a very nice series to have some flashback Top gear video’s 😉 And 1,50£ that’s cheap! Here in the Netherlands it hits up to €2 (1.71£) per liter.
Keep up the good work mate! Love the video’s! 👍🏼
2€ per liter of diesel ?? Come to Germany ;)
Really good this mate. Favourite video you've done yet. Feels like a step up from even a few months ago. Keep it up!
Seeing you wear a jacket in the thumbnail reminiscent of Alan Partridge's Castrol GTX jacket made me click right away, jokes aside; that was a cracking video! Showcasing JLR for what they really are too; for the most part, money pits. Great work, Joel! Keep doing what you do!
I think it's safe to say that the evoque is the most reliable range rover. 170'000km, several long road trips, nothing has broken so far
Girls' car though
Very very entertaining, nothing better than unexpected problems and solutions. Thanks Joel
That's alarming. I was only in John O'Groats last week. In a Range Rover!
The difference was, it was a 13 year old L320 RR Sport TDV8 and it did about 1400 miles over the week and literally the only thing that went wrong was the cruise control flipped out and refused to work. Just needed an ignition cycle and it was back in business and behaved for the rest of the trip. They don't all break down.
They’re absolutely wonderful pieces of machinery, and wouldn’t have half the appeal if they never broke
13 years and the cruise acting matter of time before it breaks down. I had a 2002 330d which had over 150k miles drove to Amsterdam countless times with no issues. Range rovers are 💰pits I love the presence of them but for something that's almost 100k reliability should be much better
Lots of Range Rovers on eBay etc with well over 150k miles. Looking after them properly helps. A lot of people don't understand that just sending the car for an MOT every year isn't enough.
I've had this one just over a year and I've changed all fluids (engine oil/front and rear diff/transfer case/gearbox/coolant & brake fluid) as well as having the air con serviced and a set of new tyres, disks and pads front and rear. Up to press, the only issues that I've had is 2 door latches (common fault covered under warranty), alarm activations (bonnet latch. Another common fault £15 to fix) and a puncture!
They're lovely cars. They just need a little more TLC than most.
@@zamaanrana1 The irony is, if you look into it, the least reliable of all Range Rovers are the one with BMW engines in them. I've had 2 BMW's and one Range Rover and the RR has given me the least issues.
@@JohnBaxendale Very true. I think the ones with the BMW engines in are responsible for a lot of the bad press the marque had over that period. Sadly, it seems reliability on the more modern stuff is questionable in some areas again as well.
Loved the vid man I can imagine the time and money it would have taken but it was excellent as always man. Well done keep up the great work really enjoyed it from start to end 👍 excellent product and editing
Loved that - thanks Joel for entertaining me on this lovely summers evening.
I’m Scotland in Oct and John OG is now on my list to visit
Glad you enjoyed the video and that it’s inspired you to visit JoG. It’s one of those places one must tick off the list. Enjoy!
All these bad comments towards a land rover breaking down is mad...If it was a Toyota that bad a fur l leak they'd probably make an excuse for it and letting it off. Had very few issues with my 2006 l322 where it's left me stranded or needing a mechanic. Problems could happen to any car but you can't beat the driving experience of a range rover! Got to be an enthusiastic owner to have one. Great video and look forward to the next!
But it's a dealer car that isn't very old so it says nothing good about the brand ... even though I'd still buy one without hesitation myself 😅
@@matthewgibbons4525 Not sure if it's a main dealer vehicle... Think it's owned by an independent specialist? Being 6 years old something is bound to break and just unlucky or the pipes had been rubbing. Same here, should really be thinking about a van but looking at newer Range Rovers 😂
If you want reliable off roader the king is a landcruiser. If want luxury buy a S class. A Range Rover is a Chelsea tractor this one only had 50k so it shouldn't break.
Great video, and also a great and accurate representation of the reliability…Or lack thereof, of JLR products.
I’ve got the identical Range Rover 3 litre, full dealer Range Rover history. I always get it dealer and on time. I get 35-40 MPG mixed and it’s a pleasure to drive. That RR looked battered and it’s clearly the dealers run around range with all the chip stones and body work looking finished. Not surprised the car ended up how it did. If you don’t look after any car especially a range it’ll damage you !
Range Rover - The car with everything, except reliability.
No worse than any other Prestige car and i have owned most leading Brands.
@@minimeee04 my first hand experience of two new RR Autobiography’s and industry feedback would disagree.
They are renowned for excessive unreliability for good reason.
@@minimeee04 Couldn't agree less, I love Land Rovers having grown up near the manufacturing plant, but from personal experience they are far worse than anything else I've owned/had as company car
What broke so I don’t have to watch? How far did he get ?
@@AndyK.1 everything
Really hard work
You got a new subscriber
Lots of love❤️
26:08 Range Rover in natural habitat
I drove from Devon Exeter to Iraq Baghdad and come back to Exeter with 4.4 petrol Range Rover vogue .
I cover just under 8000 miles in 5 weeks.
hope there were no bikers falling on that spilled DIESEL! as for sleeping in a car, when I go covering RallyCross I sleep in my B8 Passat estate. love the video.. I need to do some trips to Scotland.
Love the way you managed to get this rangy to throw a code then fix it with the Carlyapp 😜😜😂😂
New level of pluggin your sponsor right there mate 👌👌
Really unlucky Joel - Since filming my race against the sun on the same day I have to appreciate how much work and effort went into your video!
I love watching your videos Joel, the price of fuel just last year is crazy how far its jumped up now in early 2022
Feels like an old school Top Gear challenge. Even had the breakdowns 😂
Brand new Ranger Rover and it's plagued by problems? Sadly it sounds about right.
Range Rover is always my dream car. I don't know when my dream of owning a Range Rover in my life will come true 😞😞. African life beats X1000 ... Imagine getting a daily meal is a big problem! Eradicate poverty yourself🥲🥲🥲. Watching you from Tanzania 🇹🇿! Much love&respect 🥰🥰🥰
Great episode Joel, really enjoyed watching it. Will filmed and edited. 👍
Rangerover Repair Manual: 10,000 pages.
Toyota Repair Manual: Open Filler Cap and Fill Tank.
Yup, anything can wrong with any car. You never know what a previous owner has bodged, or broken. My 27 year old Surf just keeps going faultlessly, but I do service anything and everything.
Great video, thanks. I think the furthest I drove in a day was home to Aberdeen from Graz. In the winter. In a Merc 560SEL
I spent 11.7k on my heap of crap in 7 months of ownership….went back to German and no issues since….never ever again would I even consider another RR…ever.
This has confirmed two things for me - 1) Land Rovers are incredible to look at. 2) I've now ruled it out for my next car! Cheers Joel 😅
Hahaha
Hey Joel!Great video! Thanks for posting it. I've always heard bad things about Land rovers. Gives me reaffirmation to never buy one of those pieces of shit! 🤣
Great video as always Joel. I’m gutted that you didn’t achieve your goal, but it was a great video nonetheless. Thanks again for your efforts 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks for watching!
Didn't expect to say this but you have proven a old bmw is more reliable than a new range rover
Yesss Mr Birmingham Racing nice to see you in the comments section!
you realise that this said "new range rover" is a 6 year car, any 6 year old luxury car is bound to have its issue
@@djmaxwell1325 mate stop having a go at Mr Birmingham racing
Great video mate, really enjoyed it. Excellently produced and you're a natural presenter!
20 mins in and its a great video so far, not a great advert for range rovers
Range rovers are great, there reliability issue is so bad 😂
Just revisited this vlog, you really need to get back into a L405 Joel, long term test, ownership, mods, road trips and or course adventures. 🙏
White Range Rover, private plates, XL dog in the back and parked outside your council house. Nice! 😅😂🤣
Fuel and smoke exiting the car. Its is a race against time.......Joel....going to have a nap. Jeez. I would have phoned the garage and then slept whilst you are waiting 😂😂 great videos. Love em.
"Scotland - my favourite third world country" wow!
#howtomakefriendsandinfluencepeople but not the Scottish
Oh blimey, here we go, roll the comments.
You obviously didn't watch the full video. He stated he was joking about Scotland and 3rd world (17:40) and how beautiful the country is.
@@sb-kn6vb Your right. I didn't watch the full video. But if someone makes a racist comment to me, then waits a 17 minutes to say actually I was joking, I would think they were trying to cover their back and doesn't excuse the comment in the first place.
Lighten up man, everyone knows scotland is a beautiful place. I live in England and we all know most of its a dump. By the tone of joshs voice I'm 100% sure it was a joke and nothing more.
mate your presentation skills have improved massively since i started watching you. can imagine watching you on tv in the future keep it up
Great video Joel 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video! This long-form video works great with your style! What a treat to wake up to 😁
Alan partridge wants his jacket back 😈
The shortest night of the year is also the longest day which would be June 21st! 😜
Great video Joel. Would have been nice for you to make it to lands end... looking forward to more of these challenges. Been a fan since the BMW trip from Scotland
Thank you for watching
Unlucky mate - gonna fuel the LR haters no doubt but at least it was an easy fix - next time lay off the sport button lol. Great video - keep it up. A big yes to making the L322 into a 'sleeper'
Do it in a land cruiser you can travel the same route 2 to 3 times without a single issue
Sad the car let you down, i drive a supercharged L320 and just finished a 960 mile road trip, no issues on a Rangey with 115k miles on the clock. Get out in your L320 and have faith, they aint as unreliable as they are portrayed.
Anyone knows the smell of diesel and I'm sure bikers appreciate you getting back out on the road spraying it everywhere,absolute carelessness.
How don't you have more subscribers!? You deserve more... As soon as I saw that on your Instagram story, I couldn't help myself but to screen record "butt-fuck nowhere!"
😂😂😂
Enjoyed the vid,great car and scenery, keep em coming.
30:42 the fuel leaking out of the Range Rover be like
Great video.
Sorry to see the best off reader off the road again!
Ignore the hater comments, it’s a really enjoyable well presented video.
Now this is why TH-cam was invested. Interesting videos. I was hooked all the way and your delivery is natural and flawless. But next time, please do take a Land Cruiser Prado
Landrovers doing what they do best...😂
been here since the original z4 days, still loving the channel.
Great video/mini movie! Nail biting stuff! Lucky fix!
I had the main diesel line go on my VW Transporter, drenched the electrics, total shutdown! Easily fixable and close to home luckily, not the middle of nowhere!
The joys of motoring 🙂
Can’t believe 40 winks didn’t sort it out 😴🤯
