I bought one with broken turbo’s, I tackled the job myself removing the engine and upon further inspection the 7th piston was burned so i bought another engine… just change the oil every 10.000kms and it will save you some money and headaches
A bit of a digression, but I have a 2011 MK 6 VW Diesel Golf with 500,000km I drive 1000km a week. It gets serviced every 10,000km, still going strong. 24.03.2024, just service regularly and as you say, it will save you money in the long run
Well...i have had lr322 tdv8 for 4 years now with no issues. The car has 276000 km on it and works perfect. The ride is classy, car is silent and it is almost impossible to get stuck in mud or snow. You just have to take care of this fine cars and they will last as long as any other cars.
I have a 2010, it’s an amazing car YES it WILL go wrong and that’s a reality you must be prepared for. If you can find a good mechanic who can look after the car it doesn’t need to cost a small fortune I had to replace the transfer box, it cost £900 for a 2nd hand part all fitted. I still love the car. It’s like having a relationship with an abusive girlfriend, you love her but you just hope she will stop kicking you in the family jewels. Things can only get better right?
I bought L322 two years ago, the body was in excellent condition, the engine was faulty, I solved the problem by installing the engine and gearbox from Lexus LS 430, with some modifications, and everything is great.
I think the air struts wearing out is more due to age than sand getting in them. Also the TD6 engines were just better and not all that much slower. Great video!
@@lt.lasereyez8891 perhaps yours might be chipped and maybe even an EGR delete! The TD6 is a great engine just a tad bit underpowered in standard form! 0-60 about 13 seconds with 175 ish BHP. The TDV8 is a lot better with about 272 BHP and 0-60 in about 8 seconds. My personal preference is a TDV8 but the TD6 isn’t a bad choice either! Owned 2 TD6’s and now own a TDV8.
It's a complex car. When bought used, people either don't service it properly all or at or use cheap Chinese parts that fail early. What do you expect if you do that ? No car is perfect, even Japanese ones. They have problems too. It's easy to be negative when you don't own one isn't it ? I have had various Land Rovers for 30 years. Nearly every fault, and there have not been many in 300,000 miles - 500,000km has been due to lack of servicing or incorrect parts.
@different car review I have a ide for a content series- the process of finding, checking, buying a high milage L405. Then put it back to former glory on the driveway. That is at least my plan. I'm am from Prague.
interesting idea, the L405 looks great, but the diesel engines can get kaput pretty easily and replacing the engine on the driveway is not gonna be easy - but it would be definitely interesting I am not from Prague and not even from Czech republic
I had a L322 tdv8, turbo failed within a week, 3k to have them replaced. Month later the drivers side com cover needed replacing, ended up having both done, just under 2k. Few months after that coming down the motorway timing chain failed needed almost 10k in repairs. Car got sold as spares or repairs. Ever again will I buy Range Rover.
Just changed the rocker on mine yesterday in 3.5 hours, was actually easy, if your experienced in what your doing, but you need proper tools, not a hobbyist job to be fair......
I’ve watched video after video and agree with the person who said nevermind. IMO, this vehicle is intentionally built with components scheduled to fail. Why! Because if it were reliable and affordable it would be more commonplace on the road. But keep the ownership costs high, and it’ll remain a wealthy man’s vehicle. It’s just an ole ploy, like expensive restaurants: too rich for the average guy. So clientele are the wealthy.
Why is Land Rover so stupid and manufactures complex parts that break down quickly? Why doesn't it try to design things that are simple and easy to maintain? 😊
Easy fix to prevent 3.6 TDV8 turbo failures is an EGR delete -basically remove EGR valves and fit blanking plugs together with a software tweak to prevent engine limb mode & engine check light conditions - available cheaply on eb-y via cheap shadowed Ford software this simple EGR delete Improves fuel consumption to a genuine regular 30-33 mpg @ 50 mph on long runs - turbo failure is known to be caused by the EGR valves sooting up and overpressuring the turbos - excess soot is probably due to running on cheap supermarket diesel 😬🤦♂️ If You can afford to run on expensive BP Optimax diesel it will probably overcome this scenario 🙃 These high mileage 3.6 TDV8 run noticeably better on BP Optimax eliminating smoke on cold start altogether & making them noticeable more responsive when towing hard 👍 My favourite 2007 3.6 TDV8 was regularly obtaining 36-39 mpg ( not when towing) for over 20K + miles- I had tweaked her with EGR delete-CAT delete & straight thru s/s sports exhaust which achieved these genuine mid 30's mpg figures & it sounded awesome 🤠...
Great video! Air strut wear is a common issue in all cars with air suspension. It is so common that traditional manufacturers of air struts for heavy duty vehicles are now focused on light cars (here in Spain there are several companies)
Thank you for mentioning my channel in your video! 👍 One of your viewers came from your channel to ours and mentioned it to us. I really liked your video and the humorous spin on it!😁 Keep up the great work!
@@halo091 I bought it at just over 30k miles. Maintained by a specialist with an annual service. Now done 144k miles. Only usual costs, tyres, brakes, bushes, EGR valves around at 80k miles. Changed the gearbox fluid at 100k mikes

Great video! Can you make another video about the problems of the GM gearbox on the early l322?

@@FolkinghamRob i’m a new land rover tech with an abusive girlfriend.. should i get a tdv8? Lol
They aren't that bad to work on. Maybe the mechanics just need to get a bit better and the customer just has to pay.

That vehicle has not been adequately maintained, regardless of what the service history may indicate

Is it the same story for the 4.4 V8?
Seems like this guy did the valve cover job… so did I…..😢😂

the best cars reviews BUT only for expensive cars, we need more cars reviews
I agree. Don't buy one. Go buy something else and leave them to all of us who know what we're doing ;)
how about sdv8? 4.4
Can you do mercedes w222
People are still asking ludicrous amounts of money for these money pits
Bad design means Manufacture responsibilities
Repairs on Manufacture cost only.
LOL, good luck with that.
@@DashCamSerbia F-ck engineering idiots running for money only
@@jaguar7051 Nothing to do with engineers. They did not make it like that intentionally. They are forced to do so with design constraints.

yeah this is a Ford engine.
Easy fix to prevent 3.6 TDV8 turbo failures is an EGR delete -basically remove EGR valves and fit blanking plugs together with a software tweak to prevent engine limb mode & engine check light conditions - available cheaply on eb-y via cheap shadowed Ford software
this simple EGR delete Improves fuel consumption to a genuine regular 30-33 mpg @ 50 mph on long runs - turbo failure is known to be caused by the EGR valves sooting up and overpressuring the turbos - excess soot is probably due to running on cheap supermarket diesel 😬🤦♂️
If You can afford to run on expensive BP Optimax diesel it will probably overcome this scenario 🙃
These high mileage 3.6 TDV8 run noticeably better on BP Optimax eliminating smoke on cold start altogether & making them noticeable more responsive when towing hard 👍
My favourite 2007 3.6 TDV8 was regularly obtaining 36-39 mpg ( not when towing)

How much cost in repairs? What milage did you buy it at? Fsh?

Fantastically explained.
Thanks to you.
What do you bloody expect it's a bmw engine German garbage

land rover should buy engines made by another brand. i think early land rovers had buick engines which they bought from GM
would you please talk about the 4.4l disco engine has what issues,Thanks alot ,your video help me a lot~
Please make a video for the Mercedes w205 C Class with the 1.6 engine.
I literally just bought a car with this issue. Pray for me.

Ok … i wanted one, but i see 0-100: 9s ?! Ok next …
Hi there, we love your movies, Ty.
what about the 4.4 petrol engine?
All that I knew is that no one should ever buy a RR product but didn't know any of the specifics as to why, esp. for the diesel. Thanks.
I expected this but your videos are golden...
