You know that Harry is a serious man who cares for quality content when he doesn't use Jeremy for clickbait. I really love this channel, no childish bs.
Two elderly farmers who are neighbours talking about their 17 year old vehicles. Without doubt my favourite video in the last few years. Great stuff. Not long enough. More please.
This video is exactly why I love this channel. A collab with Clarkson thats completely casual and genuine. No clickbait or clout chasing. Harry has got to be one of the classiest car journalists on TH-cam.
I have enormous respect for Clarkson, Wilman, Hammond and May for what they achieved with Top Gear and I was devastated when the BBC canned it (although Clarkson’s behaviour was inexcusable). However, seeing him together with Harry, I had the impression that for Clarkson it is more about himself than about the cars. Mr. Metcalf, on the other hand, appears to have a much smaller ego and a more genuine interest in the car itself and the audience he’s doing it for.
This is why this is the best TH-cam car channel! Goes to visit Jeremy Clarkson and doesn’t put his name in the title or the description. His wife filming, this is normal stuff for Harry. I love this guy and this channel!
@@jamie123b I don’t remember if I saw the thumbnail yesterday but is it possible he changed it? I don’t remember seeing Jeremy in the thumbnail when I watched this yesterday.
Clarkson is certainly not universally loved,despite the media telling people that we can’t live without this obnoxious man,sad that Harry is lowering the level of the channel
@@sijoy6572 we love him here in america, and my comment was complimenting and praising Harry. The fact that you focused on the Clarkson part means he lives in your head rent free.
Words can not describe how utterly joyful this video has made me. Just pals. Jabbering about Land Rovers and farm work. The world needs more of this. Thank you.
Because one of those "no nonsense men" is a toxic right wing homophobic, sexist and racist. I'll happily listen to Harry talk about cars to anyone but i'm very glad people like Clarkson are rare.
And it was so non clickbait too. That's what puts Harry way above loads of other automotive channels. Their title would be "I MeET jErEmy cLarKSon!!!!!'
I new this video would inspire the sycophants to obnoxiously declare their lust for older rich white men who make them feel warm & safe on youtube. Makes me sick.
Harry and Jeremy in a relaxed car/farm chat like this is some of the best content there is on youtube, no stress no frills just two men comparing notes of the life. Made my day, thank you Harry.
Two observations. 1) This might have been the best episode of Harry's Garage ever. 2) For the first time ever, I'm wanting a Range Rover. L322, of course.
Don't get one if you aren't made of money. They are amazing driving and convenience cars, but the maintenance cost is absolutly insane. Most owners will tell you that, they love their cars but have thrown absurd amounts of money at them.
As an L322 driver, 2012 model, you must set aside £2k a year to cover maintenance, both scheduled and preventative. With that, it's been an incredibly reliable vehicle with unsurpassed levels of comfort and safety. To those driving the latest SUV and paying circa £1k a month, just who is the fool ;)
@@Tailhook69youre right. My father has been running a 2011 5.0 since it was new, today it has 140k miles on it, original engine, original transmission. He wont let it go, I think I am finally getting close to convincing him to get a last model year L405. Ill bet he will still keep his L322, he is legitimately attached to the car. And I completely understand every time I drive it.
Very enjoyable banter session. When Jeremy says he doesn't travel much now because he's been everywhere, when you stop and think for second you realise it's absolutely true. What an amazing life the guy's had.
"Just got back from Johannesburg" sounds like travelling to me. Plus I just watched him travel across the Baltic states in a ridiculous car with his two buddies.
Yep, no ADHD, caffeine and sugar fuelled 'OMGZ, ULE NEVER BEKLIEVE WHAT DISASTER I JUST HAD...' followed by a picture of them looking shocked. Absolutely hate it and just screams attention seeking. This is just two guys sharing their passion and even if the end result of it is a car video on TH-cam, the motivation and intention behind it is just so very different.
I love how understated Harry is when he said he is “going to see a friend” and it turned out to be Clarkson. Surprised he even featured him in the thumbnail tbh. Quality as always 👍
This is just absolute gold. Two of the best motoring journos ever, waxing lyrical about why they think a car that we wouldn’t notice if it drove past us is the best car they own. Both own ‘dream cars’. But this green Rangie is their jewel. It’s poignant and a cause for deeper reflection than I can remember having after any recent car video. Well done Harry. Great to see you Jeremy. The simplicity and honesty are pleasures rarely seen nowadays. Love to see more!
I like the contrast in their styles. If you notice Harry constantly moves about when he is talking, full of pent-up energy. Jeremy seats himself on the tailgate and lets things revolve around him. I fancy buying an L322 after that.
Do it. Buy well and you won’t regret it. I’ve got two - a grey 3.6 and a green 4.4. I love them both. Not without minor faults but they are a joy to drive. (Oh and don’t do what I did and buy one for your 24 year old son 🙄). With him it’s a love-hate relationship. With me - I’m just smitten. It’s a grown up car for grown ups.
I'm on my second L322, it's 2011 Autobiography, had it for 3 years now. Like Jeremy says, you get emotionally attached to these despite the need to top up your 'rainy day' fund. Such a fabulously comfortable and practical car. Love it!
That was a brilliant episode Harry. I loved the way you described popping to see a farmer friend, before we see Jeremy. Great to see such affection for the old L322 RR. It’s also slightly ironic how you have both ended up as farmers…. After a life at the sharp end of motoring journalism. Keep up the great work.
Ditto. The generations after it, in my mind, are fat and blotted whereas the L322 design is more in keeping with the original design, and being slimmer, better for going down narrow lanes.
This reminds me of the old Top Gear days when Jeremy Clarkson and James May would do a serious car episode together (the Saab story, Communist era cars etc. come to mind)... Loved every minute of this video. Thank you Harry!
Bought one for my dad here in Dubai a few months after watching this video. Although in 5 months he had to pay half of the purchase price in repairs and maintenance, he absolutely loved the vehicle for those 5 months. Three weeks ago, he died suddenly of a cardiac arrest 11 days before his 60th birthday. I had this video as a tab opened on my laptop all this while because I wanted him to watch this video with me, but he never had the time. His L322 is with me now. I can see why he loved the car. It made him feel really good after driving a 2014 Lincoln MKX for a decade before I forced him to upgrade to an RR. Like Clarkson, he never bought anything new until the previous one died on him. May his soul rest in peace.
Congratulations to this video, that has now become Harry's Garage's most viewed video! It is a reminder of how fantastic youtube and the internet can be - no clickbait, no drama, no falsehood. Just 2 passionate people talking about what they love. Brilliant!
I bought one after watching your first video, I have a 2008 Tonga Green Vouge SE now with 178k on the clock. Daily driver, no huge bills since 103k. It's been unbelievably reliable.
This is peak Harry's Garage content. Enjoyed that very much. Discussing the thickness of the lower tailgate strap and why it's important is the type of detail I live for. Could listen to you two talk all day... maybe an idea for a few future episodes?
What an absolute pleasure this video was. Jeremy and Harry gushing about range rovers is just wonderful. If there's anyway this could be a regular thing would be great. If I get to own a farm I'll get a fleet of these and just smile at all the new gen land rover stuff that never sees a puddle let alone actual work Thank you Harry and thank you Jeremy. Much love to you both.
I have a USA 2008 L322 with the Jaguar 4.4 Petrol V8 and I average 22 mpg on the highway. I also take it off road. I love it. It has 133,000 miles on it. I had to replace the front air suspension and put new solenoids in the transmission, but I love it.
Back in 2019, I paid $4,900 for a 2007 L322 Supercharged with 280k miles on it. It was my 9th Land Rover purchase. It was amazing. I sold it this spring for $5k with 335k miles on it- still running great on its original engine & transmission- and with minimal repairs. It’s still on the road. I miss having one. It was the pinnacle of Range Rover development. Great video!
@@jerry6711 Brakes, radiator, headlight switch, alternator, bonnet release cable, coolant expansion tank, boot seal, sun visor retainer clip, one air strut, backup camera and a few bulbs. Never left me stranded though.
@@Defender-Guy Thank you very much. I really appreciate it! One more question please. When you replaced just one air strut, did you find the car handling in a weird way? I replaced just one front shock absorber in my 2005 second generation Ford Focus and the weird feeling was like car was heavier on one side.
@@jerry6711 I lived in Eastern Oregon then, and one night it got super cold and when I got up, the one corner was all the way down. It had been fine during my 90 mile commute the day before. Swapped out the air bag & never looked back.
I bought my 2007 after watching your first video. That was 4 years ago and i still absolutely love driving it and have no inclination to buy a newer model. Great advice thank you.
Wonderful video, two of my favourite motor journalists - and as a sidenote, not being a farmer or suchlike, both of you have played a big part in educating a London boy to understand a bit about our country's farms and farming. Thank you to you both.
Last year, L322, full factory stock (not armored), went over anti-tank mine in Ukraine. All 5 passengers survived. A very tought car right from beginning. Will definitely consider buying one in closest future. Got pictures of what is left from car after explosion.
Haven’t watched Clarkson for sometime, he does have a wonderful term of phrase, humour entwined, lovely. A couple of old mates, mutual respect, having a yarn and I’m entertained. I’m getting on too it seems.
This video was really enjoyable. Just two men having a good old farmyard chat. I just loved how Jeremy kept meandering the conversation to talk about fertiliser, tractors and who's who on the farm. Having grown up on a farm and driving a farm Defender (before they were called Defenders) and now owning a Discovery 5, this video was totally relatable. I'd prefer the new Defender too for exactly the reasons that Jeremy mentioned and whilst I feel that the Discovery should revert to a proper split tailgate, I am finding the fold down inner 'gate' very, very useful for the reasons that Harrry said. It surprised me how damned useful it is.
I have wanted to see these two do a video together for years and so happy to see it. It's crazy how similar they are and yet their personalities are so different.
Fantastic episode. Amazing to have both of you on screen together. Jeremy is such a class act in front of a camera - he knows exactly where it is and is so assured in front of it. And his timing is perfect. But having both of you together has been brilliant
I think Harry's Garage needs more of these type of chats with your mates. The familiarity you both have with each other makes for honest, informative and entertaining viewing. who next though?! Catchpole? Bovingdon? Big Chris Green?!
Loved this episode which was like an automotive version of Mortimer & Whitehouse’s “Gone Fishing” - just 2 good mates shooting the breeze. You should do a series of these together 😀
Rambling on? I could listen to the pair of you ramble on for hours. Never a dull moment. We now need you two to talk farming. In fact, if the pair of you did a farming podcast ‘Misadventures in Farming’ you’d likely be number 1😎
I own a Disco 3 with the same engine. It's a thrilling drive and I make up excuses to the misus to go on long road trips all the time. True stress reliever!
Just bought myself a L322 in Australia. Came back to the UK last year for 4 months and bought one whilst home to drive. Drove it 12k miles in the 4 months up and down the country and without doubt the best car I've ever owned. So much so I've been looking for just the right one since I got back.
@@Spartansrule118 bought a 2006 td6 with low mileage only issue I had was that the rear left caliper jammed on due to poor maintenance from a previous owner so had to put on a new caliper and pads and discs on the rear. Other than that not any issues.
Hi Harry. Like yourself, I have owned many £100k + motor vehicles. Also, like yourself, I always come back to my trusty L322. It now has over 170,000 miles and additional to standard service costs (I have a full service history for this mileage) it has cost me a Turbo pipe (similar to yourself) and a rear wheel bearing. Basically, less than £500 additional to servicing and tyres etc. the most amazing thing, is I still get 38.8 to the gallon on a run and 31.5 town and motorway. the car is prestine and I can guarantee that at least once a week, someone stops me to inquire about something. there are not many cars being built today that would be able to boast this type of pedigree. A marvellous versatile reliable prestigeous vehicle.
I’ll say I think that vehicles from about 2002-2010 were peak. Good amount of tech but not over the top, about as reliable engine wise as you can make them, without all the bollocks sensors and engine monitoring crap that kills modern ones, and pretty clean looks.
This is the crossover that we needed. So much class in it, without displaying it. And on some level, it makes me hopeful on a curiously existential level, that in this day and age, we get from you Harry and Jeremy this kind of discussion. Anyway, should you do round 3, think about inviting @HighPeakAutos ...
Harry l hope you appreciate how good that interview/chat was & it is the best thing l have seen Jeremy do for years . Just proper car talk from 2 blokes who know their stuff ,one of the most enjoyable things l have watched in years. Well done
I had one - a TDV8 Vogue when they first came out and loved it, so I agree with everything here. Ours did 70K miles without a single problem, towed a whopping great caravan across Europe. Thanks for a great video! It's making me want another one...
I just got one 2007 4.4L HSE Black on Christmas Eve last Sunday for 9,8000 Chinese Yuan / 10900 British Pounds because of this video!!! It's first hand from the previous owner and second hand to me with great condition.
Yes this is peak RR! I have an 07 3.6 which I'll never sell because there's nothing that can replace it. 148K on the clock, Tonga green, clear glass, 19 inch wheels, dark cream interior, even the carpet. For all the reasons you say and a few more, it is loveable.
@@noelcahill6707 mine has been very good. It’s had nothing major from me in three years other than service fluids and a new battery. It is now ready for EGR valves and two really common spots of rust on o/s rear arch and boot lid. Will probably look into rust prevention/treatment underneath when these are addressed. It was affordable to buy, so doesn’t feel too bad when you spend a bit on them. it’s a big old car but it’s well understood. loads of specialists and spares everywhere.
I get a kick out of Harry's lurking angst around unanticipated repair bills. I think the chap is doing OK...clearly. Love your content Harry and great to see Jeremy here. 👍✌️
Clarkson's Farm is one of my favorite series, seen all of them, and have learned a great deal about the troubles farmers go through to feed their nation, working against most of the Government officials to put food on their tables. Reform is seriously needed and I hope the people of GB will wake up and demand changes. Also, the show is hilarious. Thanks for checking in with him. I've followed. your channel for years now and this was a special one. The Silverstone previews are still my favorite but your restorations are fascinating too. As a result I've come to appreciate some cars that I knew so little about including the distinctive Espada. I hope to see one in person at some point, but being here in the states, I don't know if that will ever happen.
You have the best L322 content. I think the Queen’s is Epsom Green, which was not offered on her year. I suspect she requested it special because Tonga Green replaced Epsom on her year. She had at least two L322’s and they were both Epsom. We have a since new 2004 L322, Lux, Epsom / Sand, NA BMW V8, 230k mi…I could not agree with you both more, best car ever. I do love the L460 Range Rover, but the interior glass is smaller and primarily the price hike…plus the seats don’t fold flat. I adore your channel, thank you.
For anyone who is tempted by this rave review, always remember that the repair & servicing bills for this car, which could be astronomical, are a drop in the ocean to Jeremy & probably Harry too, so venture in with extreme care, unless you are equally flush that is!
Also bear in mind the fact that Jeremy admitted his range rover is essentially totalled at this point but he fixed it past it's worth due to an emotional attachment to the car.
I think you are right. This goes for a lot of the bigger- and luxury cars too I guess. And what a wonderful thing to be passionate about cars and traveling to experience other places and cultures.
Don’t get a turbo version and a lot of those expensive repairs go away. The parts for these cars have gone down a lot in the past 4 years alone and it’s actually pretty fast for any repair I’ve had done. Radiator, clutch fan, and alternator done for less than 1k with a mix of used and aftermarket. Just find a mechanic friend that needs some extra simple jobs. Even the air suspension can be changed to springs for fairly cheap
All about perspective.a range Rover of this era or a discovery3 would be a luxury when they first entered circulation. Now if you shopped for a second/third hand one with 120/150 000 miles there coming in between 2 - 3k.cheap as chips for a motor that size. Also,the repair costs are equal to that for an older motor,far cheaper than cars of today. My disco 3 is far cheaper to maintain than mine and the missus 4 year old audi
One of the best tribute videos to the best car ever made. Enjoyed seeing a couple long term owners recount their stories. Funny how two big time motoring journalists end up with the same car! Thanks Harry and Jeremy
Thank you ever so much, Harry and Jeremy! I hope you two will consider getting together for a few farming videos sometime. Thank you also to Mrs. M. for filming! 👍👍
Listening to these two is like listening to Jeremy & James May. A beautiful combination of a serious + funny conversation. I hardly ever watch Harry's Garage but when I saw he's featuring Clarkson I just couldn't resist. And by the way, I have always thought this is the best RR model (iconic looks, simplicity, sleeper) & after today my thoughts have been confirmed by 2 of the motoring greats 🤜🏿🤛🏿
@harrysgarage your original L322 video is what helped grow my interest in the L322 and why I bought one last year. I appreciate you’re help and knowledge on the car!
Clarkson and Harry's garage, the crossover we always needed
Still waiting on the Harry's Garage+ Chris Harris/Henry Catchpole experience lol

Would love to see Clarkson go to Harry’s garage and have a review of the cars with Harry. Would be great.

I had memories of 90s top gear when Jeremy still had to toe the line and be a proper journalist.

Three weeks ago, he died suddenly of a cardiac arrest 11 days before his 60th birthday. I had this video as a tab opened on my laptop all this while because I wanted him to watch this video with me, but he never had the time. His L322 is with me now. I can see why he loved the car. It made him feel really good after driving a 2014 Lincoln MKX for a decade before I forced him to upgrade to an RR. Like Clarkson, he never bought anything new until the previous one died on him. May his soul rest in peace.
It can't get better than this, Harry, Clarkson, and Range Rovers. Perfection indeed.
Maybe go for a few pints?
The collab weve been waiting for
I can´t believe the crossover finally happened!
Congratulations to this video, that has now become Harry's Garage's most viewed video! It is a reminder of how fantastic youtube and the internet can be - no clickbait, no drama, no falsehood. Just 2 passionate people talking about what they love. Brilliant!
I bought one after watching your first video, I have a 2008 Tonga Green Vouge SE now with 178k on the clock. Daily driver, no huge bills since 103k. It's been unbelievably reliable.
This is peak Harry's Garage content. Enjoyed that very much. Discussing the thickness of the lower tailgate strap and why it's important is the type of detail I live for. Could listen to you two talk all day... maybe an idea for a few future episodes?
What an absolute pleasure this video was. Jeremy and Harry gushing about range rovers is just wonderful. If there's anyway this could be a regular thing would be great. If I get to own a farm I'll get a fleet of these and just smile at all the new gen land rover stuff that never sees a puddle let alone actual work Thank you Harry and thank you Jeremy. Much love to you both.
No you won't, you will get just one and stick with it.
The was the best
I have a USA 2008 L322 with the Jaguar 4.4 Petrol V8 and I average 22 mpg on the highway. I also take it off road. I love it. It has 133,000 miles on it. I had to replace the front air suspension and put new solenoids in the transmission, but I love it.
How much did that cost?
"Clean car is a sign of tiny mind."
One of Jeremy's best quotes ever.
dirty car is a sign of neglect and lazy mind !
@@bertyboy7126 So you are saying farmers who work in mud to their knees are lazy? It is truly an iteresting world we live in..
"OCD James May entered the chat"
@@Malzagi i was born and brought up on farms and every one kept ther machines clean
@@bertyboy7126 Good for you. Mine's may be dirty as hell, but decades later still work flawlessly.
The collab we never expected 🤣 this is excellent ! AND what a car to be reviewing after all those years as camera cars
I’m surprised it’s taken this long to be honest, they are friends,both farmers, and both car journalists. I’ve no idea how it’s taken so long.
Back in 2019, I paid $4,900 for a 2007 L322 Supercharged with 280k miles on it. It was my 9th Land Rover purchase. It was amazing. I sold it this spring for $5k with 335k miles on it- still running great on its original engine & transmission- and with minimal repairs. It’s still on the road. I miss having one. It was the pinnacle of Range Rover development. Great video!
Hello. What did you have to repair during the ownership?
@@jerry6711 Brakes, radiator, headlight switch, alternator, bonnet release cable, coolant expansion tank, boot seal, sun visor retainer clip, one air strut, backup camera and a few bulbs. Never left me stranded though.
@@Defender-Guy Thank you very much. I really appreciate it! One more question please. When you replaced just one air strut, did you find the car handling in a weird way? I replaced just one front shock absorber in my 2005 second generation Ford Focus and the weird feeling was like car was heavier on one side.
@@jerry6711 I lived in Eastern Oregon then, and one night it got super cold and when I got up, the one corner was all the way down. It had been fine during my 90 mile commute the day before. Swapped out the air bag & never looked back.
Yeah. BMW spent like a billion developing it and then Ford came in and put on the finishing touches with the Jaguar engines.
Just a joy to see two legends together---- Harry and Jeremy! And what a wonderful SUV this Range Rover is!
I bought my 2007 after watching your first video. That was 4 years ago and i still absolutely love driving it and have no inclination to buy a newer model. Great advice thank you.
3.6?
Dream car but it would be too expensive to maintain 😢
What a fantastic video, love seeing Clarkson's more real side, could watch videos like this for hours aha!
Wonderful video, two of my favourite motor journalists - and as a sidenote, not being a farmer or suchlike, both of you have played a big part in educating a London boy to understand a bit about our country's farms and farming. Thank you to you both.
London is dead. No more calling.
Last year, L322, full factory stock (not armored), went over anti-tank mine in Ukraine. All 5 passengers survived. A very tought car right from beginning. Will definitely consider buying one in closest future. Got pictures of what is left from car after explosion.
Surely well built, but it might have been a lighter sort of mine? Anti tank mines rip apart armoured personel carriers weighing 14,000 kilos....
@@williamdrijver4141 Info from soldiers who were in that LR
@@williamdrijver4141 and yes its all rip apart, just all survived
another banging video from Harry 👏🏿👏🏽👏🏾👏🏼👏🏻
oh hey there
Wth Official TH-cam?
Ayo TH-cam in the comments of Harry, Who would have thought 😂
Banging?? Jeremy? A goat?
Yes.
Haven’t watched Clarkson for sometime, he does have a wonderful term of phrase, humour entwined, lovely. A couple of old mates, mutual respect, having a yarn and I’m entertained. I’m getting on too it seems.
The bigger question is, "is this episode now peak Harry's Garage"?
Thanks for a great half hour. Most enjoyable.
two of my favorite British farmers, loved the conversation between you two
What a decent video, two chaps, talking about sensible stuff. Well done Harry. Keep up the good quality, always look forward to your next post.
Absolutely astonishingly decent video, I agree.
This video was really enjoyable. Just two men having a good old farmyard chat. I just loved how Jeremy kept meandering the conversation to talk about fertiliser, tractors and who's who on the farm. Having grown up on a farm and driving a farm Defender (before they were called Defenders) and now owning a Discovery 5, this video was totally relatable. I'd prefer the new Defender too for exactly the reasons that Jeremy mentioned and whilst I feel that the Discovery should revert to a proper split tailgate, I am finding the fold down inner 'gate' very, very useful for the reasons that Harrry said. It surprised me how damned useful it is.
Never commented on this channel but listening to these 2 motoring legends is absolute gold!
I have wanted to see these two do a video together for years and so happy to see it. It's crazy how similar they are and yet their personalities are so different.
loved this colab. well worth a watch.
Jeremey has driven so so many cars yet a 16 year old car is his favorite.
says a lot about the new cars today
Fantastic episode. Amazing to have both of you on screen together. Jeremy is such a class act in front of a camera - he knows exactly where it is and is so assured in front of it. And his timing is perfect. But having both of you together has been brilliant
I think Harry's Garage needs more of these type of chats with your mates. The familiarity you both have with each other makes for honest, informative and entertaining viewing.
who next though?! Catchpole? Bovingdon? Big Chris Green?!
Loved this episode which was like an automotive version of Mortimer & Whitehouse’s “Gone Fishing” - just 2 good mates shooting the breeze. You should do a series of these together 😀
Brilliant. I have a L322 3.6, in the same green, done 138k miles now, over 100k with me. Had it rust proofed, a keeper. Best they've made.
Oh my. This is the best half an hour in car TH-cam history. More please!! What a treat.
Rambling on? I could listen to the pair of you ramble on for hours. Never a dull moment.
We now need you two to talk farming. In fact, if the pair of you did a farming podcast ‘Misadventures in Farming’ you’d likely be number 1😎
I own a Disco 3 with the same engine. It's a thrilling drive and I make up excuses to the misus to go on long road trips all the time. True stress reliever!
A farmer turned journalist, meets a journalist turned farmer. Excellent collaboration!
They were both journalists before farming.
Harry started in agriculture and ag sales.
Just bought myself a L322 in Australia. Came back to the UK last year for 4 months and bought one whilst home to drive. Drove it 12k miles in the 4 months up and down the country and without doubt the best car I've ever owned. So much so I've been looking for just the right one since I got back.
any issues in the 12K miles? what year did you get?
@@Spartansrule118 bought a 2006 td6 with low mileage only issue I had was that the rear left caliper jammed on due to poor maintenance from a previous owner so had to put on a new caliper and pads and discs on the rear. Other than that not any issues.
I am a simple man. I see Clarkson and Harry, I click like before the video starts.
Hi Harry. Like yourself, I have owned many £100k + motor vehicles. Also, like yourself, I always come back to my trusty L322. It now has over 170,000 miles and additional to standard service costs (I have a full service history for this mileage) it has cost me a Turbo pipe (similar to yourself) and a rear wheel bearing. Basically, less than £500 additional to servicing and tyres etc. the most amazing thing, is I still get 38.8 to the gallon on a run and 31.5 town and motorway. the car is prestine and I can guarantee that at least once a week, someone stops me to inquire about something. there are not many cars being built today that would be able to boast this type of pedigree. A marvellous versatile reliable prestigeous vehicle.
I’ll say I think that vehicles from about 2002-2010 were peak. Good amount of tech but not over the top, about as reliable engine wise as you can make them, without all the bollocks sensors and engine monitoring crap that kills modern ones, and pretty clean looks.
I totally agree!
This is the crossover that we needed. So much class in it, without displaying it. And on some level, it makes me hopeful on a curiously existential level, that in this day and age, we get from you Harry and Jeremy this kind of discussion.
Anyway, should you do round 3, think about inviting @HighPeakAutos ...
Or... Henry Catchpole, James May, Chris Harris, Jonny Smith or Richard Porter
This was probably one of the most entertaining episodes of Harry's Garage in years. Your friend farmer is a knowledgeable man lol.
Harry l hope you appreciate how good that interview/chat was & it is the best thing l have seen Jeremy do for years . Just proper car talk from 2 blokes who know their stuff ,one of the most enjoyable things l have watched in years. Well done
Two icons in motoring history together in one video. How is this even possible? Enjoyed every too short minute of it.
I always thought these two were so incredibly alike.
I had one - a TDV8 Vogue when they first came out and loved it, so I agree with everything here. Ours did 70K miles without a single problem, towed a whopping great caravan across Europe. Thanks for a great video! It's making me want another one...
I just loved this. Harry trying to get back to the point each time hilarious.
Not ever easy when Jeremy is around. 😊
If you’re decently mechanically inclined, the LR3 and 2006-2009 Range Rovers are fantastic. They have the very stout 4.4 V8 and ZF transmission.
Isn't LR3 body off for a lot of jobs? Like the L320
Yeppp I have a 2009 RRS HSE and she’s great. Never left me stranded.
This is the crossover I didn’t know I needed. So happy to see Jezza on here.
Most British episode ever haha. These gents are the best in the biz
Possibly one of your most enjoyable videos to date. Refreshing to hear from you both that new & expensive doesn't necessarily mean better.
I just got one 2007 4.4L HSE Black on Christmas Eve last Sunday for 9,8000 Chinese Yuan / 10900 British Pounds because of this video!!! It's first hand from the previous owner and second hand to me with great condition.
We’ve had our L322 since new in 2012. It’s still splendid to drive.
Yes this is peak RR! I have an 07 3.6 which I'll never sell because there's nothing that can replace it. 148K on the clock, Tonga green, clear glass, 19 inch wheels, dark cream interior, even the carpet. For all the reasons you say and a few more, it is loveable.
How reliable is the 3.6 im after a range rover for work
@@noelcahill6707 mine has been very good. It’s had nothing major from me in three years other than service fluids and a new battery. It is now ready for EGR valves and two really common spots of rust on o/s rear arch and boot lid. Will probably look into rust prevention/treatment underneath when these are addressed. It was affordable to buy, so doesn’t feel too bad when you spend a bit on them. it’s a big old car but it’s well understood. loads of specialists and spares everywhere.
It is very true. The L322 is the true definition of the RR original formula. Elegant in the city yet still a workhorse.
I get a kick out of Harry's lurking angst around unanticipated repair bills. I think the chap is doing OK...clearly.
Love your content Harry and great to see Jeremy here. 👍✌️
Clarkson's Farm is one of my favorite series, seen all of them, and have learned a great deal about the troubles farmers go through to feed their nation, working against most of the Government officials to put food on their tables. Reform is seriously needed and I hope the people of GB will wake up and demand changes. Also, the show is hilarious. Thanks for checking in with him. I've followed. your channel for years now and this was a special one. The Silverstone previews are still my favorite but your restorations are fascinating too. As a result I've come to appreciate some cars that I knew so little about including the distinctive Espada. I hope to see one in person at some point, but being here in the states, I don't know if that will ever happen.
No reform will ever be enough sadly. Something much deeper will need to be cleaned inside out.
No farmers no food ❤
You have the best L322 content. I think the Queen’s is Epsom Green, which was not offered on her year. I suspect she requested it special because Tonga Green replaced Epsom on her year. She had at least two L322’s and they were both Epsom.
We have a since new 2004 L322, Lux, Epsom / Sand, NA BMW V8, 230k mi…I could not agree with you both more, best car ever. I do love the L460 Range Rover, but the interior glass is smaller and primarily the price hike…plus the seats don’t fold flat.
I adore your channel, thank you.
Harry and Jeremy, my two favourite farmers. Great program.
I agree great farmers, Terrible writers, though.
For anyone who is tempted by this rave review, always remember that the repair & servicing bills for this car, which could be astronomical, are a drop in the ocean to Jeremy & probably Harry too, so venture in with extreme care, unless you are equally flush that is!
Also bear in mind the fact that Jeremy admitted his range rover is essentially totalled at this point but he fixed it past it's worth due to an emotional attachment to the car.
yep brilliant cars like alfa romeos is how I see it. hahaha
I think you are right. This goes for a lot of the bigger- and luxury cars too I guess. And what a wonderful thing to be passionate about cars and traveling to experience other places and cultures.
Don’t get a turbo version and a lot of those expensive repairs go away. The parts for these cars have gone down a lot in the past 4 years alone and it’s actually pretty fast for any repair I’ve had done. Radiator, clutch fan, and alternator done for less than 1k with a mix of used and aftermarket. Just find a mechanic friend that needs some extra simple jobs. Even the air suspension can be changed to springs for fairly cheap
All about perspective.a range Rover of this era or a discovery3 would be a luxury when they first entered circulation.
Now if you shopped for a second/third hand one with 120/150 000 miles there coming in between 2 - 3k.cheap as chips for a motor that size.
Also,the repair costs are equal to that for an older motor,far cheaper than cars of today.
My disco 3 is far cheaper to maintain than mine and the missus 4 year old audi
I just love Jeremy. A pub run with the two of you would be spectacular.
One of the best tribute videos to the best car ever made. Enjoyed seeing a couple long term owners recount their stories. Funny how two big time motoring journalists end up with the same car! Thanks Harry and Jeremy
Thank you ever so much, Harry and Jeremy! I hope you two will consider getting together for a few farming videos sometime. Thank you also to Mrs. M. for filming! 👍👍
What a cracking candid video. Two honest blokes chatting proper cars.
Listening to these two is like listening to Jeremy & James May. A beautiful combination of a serious + funny conversation. I hardly ever watch Harry's Garage but when I saw he's featuring Clarkson I just couldn't resist. And by the way, I have always thought this is the best RR model (iconic looks, simplicity, sleeper) & after today my thoughts have been confirmed by 2 of the motoring greats 🤜🏿🤛🏿
Great episode, so simple yet so entertaining.
Love it when you embed those photos of your motors from years gone by.
@harrysgarage your original L322 video is what helped grow my interest in the L322 and why I bought one last year. I appreciate you’re help and knowledge on the car!
I could honestly watch these 2 chat about cars all day! they seem like genuine friends as well!
I've got a 2001 P38 and it's still going strong. It's loaded with tools and I get a lot of good use from it.
Great episode, very much anti-new money and new range rovers. Top quality content, thank you Harry!
exactly👍
My favorite two presenters, both mesmerizing - what a treat!
What a fantastic bs- free video. Thanks Harry and Jezza....Great stuff! Team up more often for some high level auto babble. Loved it!!!😂
