Fair does to Dave ( the seller) he presented the RR in a nice clean condition and informed you of its niggling problems. Well done Dave. Yes Matt, do a follow up. 👍
Matt, I would love to see a follow-up video on the Range Rover Vogue after you had fixed everything. It would be interesting to know how much it all cost you and what needed to be fixed after the service.
I miss my L322 so much. There’s just something about them. I’d have another in a heartbeat even though my last one gave me massive problems. Weird I know. They get under your skin.
Me too. I ran a TD6 for a few years about 10 years ago and every time it went wrong ( which was often ! ) it would cost some multiple of £800 to fix 😞 However I fancy a TDV8 now !
Am back in Marrakech Sunday . Flying not driving. If you've not been I recommend it. It's an amazing place. Note the speed limit is mainly 60 mph , 355 miles from Tangier. 6 hrs 50 mins . But, don't drive in Marrakech, nothing good will come of that , not even in a Rangey. Oh and there is nowhere to park in Central Marrakech. Unless you stay at The Savoy😂
Hello Matt That smoke is indeed the webasto heater. I have a td6 and its the same. Under 4 degrees Celsius outside temperature the webasto heater kicks in to help the engine warm up quicker. When the engine is warm it stops. If it don’t stops your thermostat is broken. I pulled out the fuse in the glove compartment. I mean why would u need this. Heated steering wheel, heated seat, heated front window, and the engine can warm up on its own like every other car😂😜 Cant wait to see more video’s about this car. Keep up the good work.
Ive also got a 2007 TDV8, and for the price it is everything you want from a car. It’s still 80% the same feel as my old 2019 L405 SDV6. The reality is, it cost me £1500 and I’ll run it until it’s not viable to repair, but so far so good!
I am in a similar position - I have a 3.9 P38 which I have owned for 20 or so years, a 4.4Tdv8 L322 which I have owned about 4 years and a 4.4 SDV8 L405, which I have just bought a few months ago - I absolutely love them all, each of them have their own character and get used for different roles…. Well that’s how I justify my ‘Habit’ or RR ‘addiction’ 😳.
Radio issue could be a fault in the MOST system. I sorted mine by getting a fibre optic loop cable and isolated each module until I found the fault, which was the Bluetooth module. Got a Jag replacement and all good since 😃
Honestly, replace the naff 20 years old satnav and the dashboard layout is still spot on… knobs and switches that can be used wearing gloves…. A true classic in the making 👍
£16k spend over 17 years isn't bad at all, it's £941 a year, at least half of that would be servicing, then tyres.... most Mercs would have had probably double that spent in that time.
Having a thorough service history is excellent. Not only a stamped history but invoices which show the work that has been done. I just sold my Jaguar for a RR with a bill for everything. Gives a new owner such confidence.
I love them! I had a 2009 version of the same type and drove it to Spain with all my gear in it for my new life. No issues at all with the drive ( Stirling to Alicantie) and in total i replaced the two front pumatic bags on the front and that was it. My only “ complaint” was an after market stainless exhaust that boomed at 80 plus I HOPE YOU DO MANY MORE ON THIS OLD GIRL , All the best Jim
I was just going to post the same. At the time we had no idea the car was fitted with one and I don't recall the brochure mentioning it. Cue panic on the first cold morning start up with the car wreathed in smoke.
Inside and out i think this is peak Range Rover. I like the chunkier buttons inside and mix of switches and screen, feels more unique than the newer models and for a while if you were going to get an autograph from a band it was out of the window of one of these. For 90k miles that's worn impressively well.
If you can get to the back of the arch on a ramp, where it meets the sill is a direct access hole (bad design) that fills with mud and road muck. When they rot out on the arch you can see straight through to the source which is this hole/gap to the rear. Steam it out treat it with Hydrate 80 and fill with good quality clear cavity wax.
Lucy will be banging on your door to arm wrestle you for one of those Range Rovers. Nice looking car and as someone has mentioned, well presented by the seller.
The L322 is my favourite range rover. The videos on this is what made me subscribe so of course doing a year following and documenting this cars journey is a great idea. Maybe I'll finally buy one myself.
I do own a L494 that I bought after watching the grey sport video you shared a few years ago. Mine is currently on 193.5k miles, I drive it everyday and do 30k miles every year. It gets 3 services a year and it’s been one of the most reliable cars I owned. I also do have an excel sheet of all the maintenance and parts it had although no where near the £16k spend. These cars get a lot of bad press but I think most of the time it’s due to lack of maintenance and driving!
Hi Mat Definitely we need a follow-up video I think there are a number of us with a similar affliction to RANGE ROVERS AS YOU. Keep up the good work Ian in South Africa.
Get rid of the trailer hitch and keep up the awesome work! Not sure if you take this as a compliment, but you’re my modern-day Top Gear and Grand Tour. Love what you doing!
Matt, I watched one of your videos nearly 4 years on a freelander ..so I bought a 07 HSe I service it every 5000kms..its never let me down apart from a split turbo pipe it's got 250k on the clock great car I'll keep it!
Nice to still see people looking after these. So many get into the wrong hands and the poor things get ran on a shoestring and get blacked out, which ruins them !
Hi mate do not sell Vet 9 save it for dry summer drives. So some restoration over the winter so it drives and looking it best for the summer. Use your new to you L322 as your winter run around, Keep Vet 9 it will like you say go up in value! Take it to shows etc!
Worth every penny you paid buying, and every pound you’ll be spending to keep it going. I recently bought a RR 2002 4.4 V8, Petrol, and while the list of things to get sorted is a long as my arm, I just love driving the thing, whenever, and wherever I can. Words really can’t describe it to be honest, but I think it would be apt and timely to say that I feel like a kid on Christmas Day every time I get in it and drive. The way I see it, at least I can say i’ve owned one of these before the time the roads are 100% leccy motors.
What a bargain - lovely spec and condition. As a life time Ranger Rover owner of many years - treat the older cars the same as a new one, don’t skimp on cheap non OEM parts, and they will look after you… definitely look forward to regular updates and road trips on this car. P.s. What’s the latest on your brand new RR - have I missed a further update?
I’ve just bought the 2019 version of this with almost identical specs. Would love to see a follow up video as this car looks amazing! Why is it that everyone else gets the bargain!😂😂😂
Yes to the follow up. And can we all refer to our car(s) by the reg plate. Although I am thinking of retiring RX22WPW doesnt have quite the same ring to it..
Love my l322 2009 3.6tdv8 Westminster. Just had both turbos done at approx 111k and that will set you back around £3k when they go. Good news is that if you stop immediately they rarely do any other damage. 100 litre tank does hurt the wallet 😁 You could also find the egr's are slightly clogged if it's only done short journeys. But I don't think there's a DPF on the early 3.6tdv8's.
I am sure I have a diesil heater remote at home from my 07 plate that died from rust this year, its sat in the key box in the kitchen, ill send it up if you want it. The boot gas struts will just be cold, and the banging on ocasional pull away is most likely the rear propshaft support bearings.
Nice to see you in a proper Range Rover again. Now....notchy steering will be the uj joints on the steering shaft, they will be dry, oil up and will be all good...mine did this and was not the rack. She's 18 years old....take the plastic sill trim off and check the sills and also check the front and rear subframe and ...the rear boot floor and lanogaurd it. Mine has just gone in for a new rear subframe and...boot floor. As for updates....silly question Matt....of course we want an update date. Keep us posted
Matt another good find, you seem to have the knack, I will be interested in the fix for the radio going on and off as my 2003 Giverney keeps doing the same, only seems to work when stationary or sometimes when going slow. I have put 19 inch Bridgestone all weathers on the back and will put on the front also to replace the 14 year old very hard Wranglers.
I think I'd keep the tow bar. My car has a tow bar that's never actually been used and I also considered removing it but honestly if some idiot forgets their brakes exist at the same time they stop looking out of their windscreen I think I'll be glad of that big metal ball as it rips through their radiator!
Yes, please, Matt. A follow-up video would be great, as always. 👍... With all that smoke coming from the RR, I thought it had been converted to an EV. 😂
Definitely do a follow-up, this is one of my all time favorite Range Rovers and especially nice to see one unmolested by silly bling and I'd leave the tow bar
Leave towbar on, just tidy it up with Waxoyle or black metal protector and maybe even have the electrics swapped from 7N/7S to the modern 13 pin socket. 😊
Great purchase!. Providing a running report on your new purchase over 12 months is an excellent idea - I bet a lot of folks would like to buy something similar, but are scared off by the potential costs. Of course, the feedback over that period might confirm the costs were as high as they had guessed 😊.
My Webasto did that on initial start up and occasionally it would misfire too. I took it apart and it was all coked up, cleaned it all out and rebuilt with fresh gaskets and seals then it was perfect again. Mine didn't have the Telestart remote either.
Matt. If you haven’t got an option on the infotainment screen for timed climate then you may not have the option to just buy a remote for the DPH. All of them had a DPH which automatically kicks in at around 4 degrees. So just because you have a DPH it doesn’t mean you can use a remote. I think you can buy a remote unit to attach to the DPH so a remote will then work. I am looking forward to your updates. I have had two L320 sports, my last has just died with a crankshaft and I have just bought a 2012 L322 4.4 tdv8 which does have a remote.
I do like the Beginning Middle End format of your videos. As part of the set up, I do find myself wanting to know why the seller is selling. To learn by the end if they were right or wrong would be a nice part of the Arc.
Another great vid Matt, I haven’t yet purchased an L322, but I am slowly but surely falling for its charm, would love to see a longer term series on this, lovin the channel fella
Got a real hankering for an L322 after a 15 hiatus . . . My fave was an ‘06 MY TD6, Buckingham Blue, clear glass & a standard Vogue. Hard to believe £2k gets one now & I can weld now too 😁
This looks like fun Matt. Nice motor. Please do a follow up when sorted and then, as you suggested, perhaps an update after 6 or 12 months. Good luck fella. Cheers Roj
I definitely fancy one of these but u have a D3 at the moment. The sticky steering is likely to be down to a steering column UJ easy to replace and well worth it. If you are keeping it only fit an original spec one, as others will fail too quickly! Enjoy 😁
My heated seat does exactly the same thing. Plus I haven't had a full service for two years, mainly because I have not done many miles. Watching this video I am thinking I need to get stuff done.
Can't believe the similarity with mine. I have a totally clean, as it left the factory, all clear glass, no chrome add ons, 2011 4.4d Vogue SE and the plate is.....RRZ 1202
Don’t know what you have local Matt, but I’m running my XC60 on Esso Synergy, reall has made an improvement car is much more responsive than with standard diesel, and I don’t use supermarket stuff.
I'll give you a bit of inside information...I used to work at Sainsbury's years ago. Sainsbury's use BP, hence why they have exactly the same choices as a BP garage. Morrisons used to use Texaco-Haveline. The rumour about supermarket fuel being inferior was started by Shell marketing back in the 90s, after it was feared that they would lose market share to the supermarkets. Obviously the ludicrous idea that somehow fuel that comes from the same refinery and has the same additives is somehow inferior is still believed by a few people out there.
Great purchase. I look forward to updates. Re the tow-bar, whether you decide to keep it or not I think you should get Jimmy the Magician to fix the damage on the bumper from careless lining up of trailers. Lets it down.
Thats a beautiful car! Seems like a damn good deal. Best of luck with it Matt. ...and yes please to follow-ups. One after it's fixed, and - depending on how Range Rovery it behaves - one or several showing how the first year went. The L322 is still, and will likely always be, my favourite Range Rover.
A Morocco trip would be amazing, why not replicate the trip done by Harry metcalfe, the Range Rover would be perfect and provide evidence that a properly maintained older RR is still up to the job
Hi Matt you can find the pre heater remote on line and there’s also a good TH-cam on how to re-sync to the car. Sorted my missing remote and works perfectly now on frosty morning. TD V8 3.6 LD10 @@@ with 43,500 miles I’m the 2nd owner. Love the Range Rover videos.
I am amazed at the price of second hand cars in the UK , so cheap ,,,,,!!! it surely makes a very expensive business buying from new due to the depreciation

When are you giving us a video where you show the landcruiser some love?
The more I watch this channel, the more certain I am that Matt is actually Rick Astley's younger brother
Bahahaha. Good one.
Never gonna give you up ( a JLR product) Never gonna let you down ( definitely a JLR L322) 😂
I'd defo buy a second hand car trailer.. Save you loads on car transportation
You mean my uncle Rick?
They're no strangers...... To love.
Road trips to Morocco are a good tradition amongst car TH-camrs. So we shall definitely look forward to that. Even if its not a Testarossa
Am back in Marrakech Sunday .
Flying not driving.
If you've not been I recommend it. It's an amazing place.
Note the speed limit is mainly 60 mph , 355 miles from Tangier. 6 hrs 50 mins .
But, don't drive in Marrakech, nothing good will come of that , not even in a Rangey.
Oh and there is nowhere to park in Central Marrakech.
Unless you stay at The Savoy😂
Yes you should do a follow up. I would take the towing hitch off and sort out the area of the rear bumper which is damaged because of it.
RRZ registration plate is a Northern Ireland registration

The diesel heaters do smoke until they get hot, normal. Leave it on for half an hour, it will show a code if there is a fault. They can be serviced.
Radio issue could be a fault in the MOST system. I sorted mine by getting a fibre optic loop cable and isolated each module until I found the fault, which was the Bluetooth module. Got a Jag replacement and all good since 😃

Nice clean motor. You can spot the cars that have had a decent life immediately. Definitely interested in follow up videos Matt.
Looks like a lot of car for the money to be fair.
Would like to see a follow up video to see how you’re getting on with it.
"tonight Mathew, I'm going to massively over spend" 💨💨🤣
Having a thorough service history is excellent. Not only a stamped history but invoices which show the work that has been done. I just sold my Jaguar for a RR with a bill for everything. Gives a new owner such confidence.
Mat, free disposable gloves on most forecourts prevent diesel hand syndrome.. Keep up with the ace vids. Best wishes.
Stuff a couple of gloves behind the fuel door, always handy.
Honestly can’t remember the last time I saw any at a petrol station. The holders are always empty.
I rarely see them empty, I always use gloves on my diesel@@scottdake8566
Go into the settings and you'll see the webasto heater will be on a timer. You can turn it off from there.
I love them! I had a 2009 version of the same type and drove it to Spain with all my gear in it for my new life. No issues at all with the drive ( Stirling to Alicantie) and in total i replaced the two front pumatic bags on the front and that was it.

I had a diesel preheater on a 2009 VW Touran,it just worked off the standard HVAC and warmed the car quicker. No remote needed.

@@richardmmoulds I was at a set of lights once and someone came running up to the car and said it was on fire 😂
To be fair it was billowing out
Follow please looked a great buy Matt well done keep tow bar as stops people reversing onto it
Inside and out i think this is peak Range Rover. I like the chunkier buttons inside and mix of switches and screen, feels more unique than the newer models and for a while if you were going to get an autograph from a band it was out of the window of one of these. For 90k miles that's worn impressively well.
If you can get to the back of the arch on a ramp, where it meets the sill is a direct access hole (bad design) that fills with mud and road muck. When they rot out on the arch you can see straight through to the source which is this hole/gap to the rear. Steam it out treat it with Hydrate 80 and fill with good quality clear cavity wax.

Hi Mat Definitely we need a follow-up video I think there are a number of us with a similar affliction to RANGE ROVERS AS YOU. Keep up the good work Ian in South Africa.
Nice bus. Wouldn’t take that bar off though, be a superb towing machine and you never know when you might need it.
Get rid of the trailer hitch and keep up the awesome work! Not sure if you take this as a compliment, but you’re my modern-day Top Gear and Grand Tour. Love what you doing!
About 500 comments in so not sure this will get seen, but why the pleasure/benefit of an AUX socket? For peanuts (
You can pick them up for 10 quid

My heated seat does exactly the same thing. Plus I haven't had a full service for two years, mainly because I have not done many miles. Watching this video I am thinking I need to get stuff done.
Can't believe the similarity with mine. I have a totally clean, as it left the factory, all clear glass, no chrome add ons, 2011 4.4d Vogue SE and the plate is.....RRZ 1202
Try SGS Engineering for your gas struts👍
And Miller's Diesel Additive really works wonders.
Definitely need a follow up video on this one and I really like the idea of a road trip video to Marrakesh with VET 9 👍
Yes follow up vid please. Looks a lovely motor, especially the interior. I'd be a bit concerned with that emerging rust though.
Yep would definitely be interested in a follow up video 👍🏻😊
Check for corrosion on the rear Nokia Bluetooth module mate, common issue. Grab a fibre optic loop and bypass it
Don’t know what you have local Matt, but I’m running my XC60 on Esso Synergy, reall has made an improvement car is much more responsive than with standard diesel, and I don’t use supermarket stuff.
I'll give you a bit of inside information...I used to work at Sainsbury's years ago. Sainsbury's use BP, hence why they have exactly the same choices as a BP garage. Morrisons used to use Texaco-Haveline. The rumour about supermarket fuel being inferior was started by Shell marketing back in the 90s, after it was feared that they would lose market share to the supermarkets. Obviously the ludicrous idea that somehow fuel that comes from the same refinery and has the same additives is somehow inferior is still believed by a few people out there.
Yes follow up please. What about the gearbox and transfer box oils? Did you fix the heated sest and rear roof lining?
very interested in the follow Up!
Great purchase. I look forward to updates. Re the tow-bar, whether you decide to keep it or not I think you should get Jimmy the Magician to fix the damage on the bumper from careless lining up of trailers. Lets it down.
Thats a beautiful car! Seems like a damn good deal. Best of luck with it Matt. ...and yes please to follow-ups. One after it's fixed, and - depending on how Range Rovery it behaves - one or several showing how the first year went. The L322 is still, and will likely always be, my favourite Range Rover.
Really enjoy when you have RR or any Land Rover on the channel - Great Video Matt
Your idea of a series following life with the car sounds great.
If you do decide to do log on your new Range Rover giving costs and where you get your parts would be good
A Morocco trip would be amazing, why not replicate the trip done by Harry metcalfe, the Range Rover would be perfect and provide evidence that a properly maintained older RR is still up to the job
Follow up would be great 👍🏻
I had the smoking issue on cold starts on my old S Type. Defo the webasto pre heater.
Of course you should do a follow up on this one! Your RR vids are the main reason I watch.
Definitely needs a follow up, love these cars! (One day!).
Great video as always Matt 🙌
Would like to see the follow up video 👍🏻
Hi Matt you can find the pre heater remote on line and there’s also a good TH-cam on how to re-sync to the car. Sorted my missing remote and works perfectly now on frosty morning. TD V8 3.6 LD10 @@@ with 43,500 miles I’m the 2nd owner. Love the Range Rover videos.
Look forward to part 2
I am amazed at the price of second hand cars in the UK , so cheap ,,,,,!!! it surely makes a very expensive business buying from new due to the depreciation
Cheap for a reason 😂. It's alright buying them it's running them and keeping them going that is the expensive stuff
Looks like a good buy Matt, a follow up video once all your jobs are done would be good.👍
Follow up video definitely please 🙂
