- We finally bought our first Range Rover. Our viewers tell us constantly how good that car is and we don´t quite belive it. We selected the L405 with the full aluminium body and the TDV8 engine. In this episode you see our first impressions and experience with this british high end car.

Here is where I found the workshop manual and many other information
www.fullfatrr.com
You two are funny, entertaining, self-effacing, super knowledgeable, hyper persistent/tenacious, one of the best youtube car channels, period.
I was about to buy a L405 but was concerned about any/ all problems that may arise. Now you have one, I don’t need to worry - I just watch you unearth, explain and fix them all!!
Happy Christmas to my favourite TH-camrs!!!
🎉🎉🎉
I have an ‘06 L322 with 323,000 miles (MILES! )- my daily driver- And I have an LR4 with about 130,000 miles- my wife’s daily driver. Both of which we love. Congrats on your first Range Rover. The queen will treat you well if you serve her. Merry Christmas and thank you for the invaluable content for the LR community
4.4 V8 is an excellent choice and the 405 is a great chassis. One thing to check is the front wheel knuckles for cracks around the upper balljoint area. It is becoming a common failure point and there is a recall out in the UK for them at the moment.
Spot on , just bought the 4.4. V8 L405 autobiography
Great vehicle but also just had the front suspension knuckles replaced on mine and the ace valve block failed , nasty bill off the bat …
However , its a great beast of a car , i love it …
LOL Tick, tick, tick, tick@@terryurquhart2413
Is a good engine although the jaguar 5.0 supercharger AJV8 block from late 2010 have more punch and is more reliable appart than maintenance that is cheaper since is faster and easier to disassemble the chassis (4 hours the most to separate ) from the body than disconnecting all engine plugs and lowering the engine itself( 7 hours job to unplug it all ).An engine swap would improve alot the performance of the L405 + this model weight at least 200 KG less than my L320. 🤨 although 🫣 is it still possible to separate chassis from the rest on the L405.
I've got a feeling that 2024 is going to be a good year for LR Time content. A great vehicle that I'm sure Christian will be able to absolutely master. They are a good vehicle but take a lot of "spannering" to keep working properly.
Happy Christmas to our favourite "German Precision" Couple, cannot wait to see what's in store for the RR L405 in 2024.
Congratulations Christian and Vera!
Knock on wood and everything else, but if it's going to be as reliable as mine has been, the three years I've owned it, it's not going to be much other than maintenance videos. And Merry Christmas!
I LOOOOVE my L405. Its a brilliant car. Not as good at load lugging as my old L322 but still absolutely Brilliant!
Thank you for thinking of our late Queen, she was liked all around the world
Great, welcome to the club. We imported a 2015 SDV L405 autobiography from Hamburg to the Netherlands 3 years ago and it was the best decision ever. When we bought it it barely had 40kkm on it, which triggered me as a car that has never been properly run in, and that proved to be true. We had some minor things as dryed out suspension bushings, a cracked thermostate housing etc. At 100kkm we had to replace the brake discs which was a big wow to discover they were the orginal ones. The radio we replaced by an android head unit which is highly recommendable and really updates the interface you have with the car as a driver. At the moment the RR is at 125kkm and we recently decided to keep driving it till the new one is sort of affordable. In order to prevent discussions about the 4,4/Co2 emissions (I work in the renewable energy sector) we use the envi friendly fuel HVO100, which makes the car run smoothly, quiter and has no smoking/smell at all. We have it eco tuned as well so it runs at 400hp if you want, but in reality it is more of a low rpm 140 a 150kmh highway cruiser, which it does at can 7a8l/100km. Love your channel by the way :) almost made me buy a Discovery 3 years ago LOL.
By a country mile one of the best channels on TH-cam, luv your content and humour and your chemistry is amazing, big big fan also of your engineering work both of you! Vera you’re a legend. I wish you and your family a very happy new year and many blessings, stay safe and healthy guys and looking forward to seeing the L405 episodes to come.
Happy New Year to you and your family too. 😃🙏🙋♀️
I have a 2013 L320 and 2012 L322 both with the Supercharged 5.0 and a 2019 L405 with the supercharged petrol V6. By far, my favorite is the L322. Biggest downfall for all three units is they terrible interior storage space given the exterior size of all three vehicles. The LR3 and LR4 are superior for cargo capacity.
All nice cars but the L405 just looks amazing
The difference between a utility vehicle and a luxury vehicle.
Same L320 and L322 fleet here and it well they're both very interesting, but that L322 is amaazing.
@@TheObiwantoby I'm seriously looking for a super low mile 2008 - 2012 V8 supercharged that is an absolute creampuff west coast no rust mall crawler. If I find it, I'll store it away to replace mine once the mileage gets excessive, probably another 50k miles from now. The price for pristine 2008 and 2009 V8 supercharged units are bring crazy money right now in the USA.
2016 d4 sdv6 here, love it, have 2010 tdv6 too, my seat cover stitching ruined the leather spray on finish on the drivers seat, going to get some sheepskins, yes even less room on RR Sport
Had to pause at 22:42 need a shower and get the Golden Retriever walked haha!! BUT can i say the L405 is just a stunning piece of Art inside and out!
I ❤ the dynamics of passion between the cars and what they mean to you both. Its amazing to watch 🏴🏴
And it is a wonderful day here in Australia. I have to admit I find your videos more entertaining than how to fix British vehicles. I'm sure this vehicle is going to be just terrific and you'll wonder why you didn't buy one sooner.
Limp mode lite. Love the happy ness in the video.
Happy Christmas Christian, Vera, and family.
Thank you so much for sharing your videos with us throughout the year.
Wishing you good health to enjoy your Range Rover.
Looking forward to this series of repairs. Merry Christmas to both of you and thank you for all your hard work and videos
I had to look up what a mis-fueling device is. For those that don't know, there is a flap in the filler neck that actuates and mostly blocks the passageway when a smaller diameter gasoline (petrol) fuel nozzle is accidently inserted. Looks like a pretty neat mechanism.
Thanks for that … I found it really frustrating not knowing.
Great news both looking forward to new videos on the L405 can’t wait to see what happens what a great addition to the fleet.
The German dry sense of humour and Vera, priceless.
Thank you both for a year of entertaining and informative content.
A very Merry Christmas to you both and family. 🎉
I decided to buy a Discovery 4 after watching your channel, might have to look out for an L405 now! Love watching your content every week, as a Toolmaker myself, I really appreciate the engineering skill. Hope you have a great Christmas and New Year🍻
This is where a knowledge of the nuances of English culture would come in handy. A white Range Rover is not the realm of HM the Queen, its the realm of the bright orange, Essex wife ....!
Complete with teeth from Turkey 😂
Agreed HRH models should only feature in green.
Dear Christian and Vera, Congrats for your new purchase, it is a very good looking RR. I own currently a RR L322 4.4 TD V8 for nearly 4 years now, purchase in with high milage in very good condition. Now I have even more reason to not miss one of your vids because I am planning to swop my 322 for a L405 and as I do some times the mechanic my self I will learn a lot from you guys. As my 322 has the same engine and gearbox your new vids on the RR will be very good for me. Can’t wait to follow your vids with your Queen. Greetings from Munich. T.
You guys starting to do repair videos on the L405 is the best Christmas present possible! I've looked for ages for someone doing the type of stuff that you have been doing to Discoveries to L405. Great keep up the great work.
Feeling the same way! Beyond excited for this content and for their journey with the L405. Been waiting forever for this content.
Try Raymies garage,he also does L405 repairs
I love your enthusiasm and positivity on Landrovers. The brand gets so much hate, but so many manufacturers have copied their luxury and innovations. I had a D2 for 10 years and current D3 for 8. I can drive 1320km straight, as it is so comfortable and practical.
It's absolutely the best. 😃👍🙋♀️
You will have some fun in the best drive on the market by far! Range Rover bought a job lot of cheap Chinese sensors some 20 years ago and have only just used them all up - so that will be the problem for the first 10 problems. When it says Water in Oil warning just replace the sensor and so on.
I've got a discovery 3 , 4, and range rover sport l494. Um, I prefer the discovery 3 for reliability, but I love the l494 for speed
This channel just gets better and better, Sunday morning essential viewing. Most enjoyable video.
Yes. I’m in the UK and watching this in bed 🤣 And my German wife celebrates Christmas on the 24th, and I celebrate it on the 25th so we have two Christmases!
Frohe weinachten to you both 🎄🎅
Merry Christmas !
Congrats on the new addition. I can tell you from an overlanding perspective that range rover will go where a defender or disco would go. Many ears ago I was invited to a land-rover day in the mountains of Stellenbosch in cape town and the range rovers that we tested went everywhere. And the routes were rated 3/4 out of 5
Absolutely, I mean when you look underneath the car, OMG. And most people who comment here saying that the Range Rover is useless offroad, have no idea how capable that car is. 👍👌🙋♀️
A few moons ago, I worked for JLR at Gaydon (architecture engineering team) and I borrowed a L494 Sport autobiography dynamic (SDV8) management car for a weekend. That engine with two working turbos is fantastic to drive day to day. Good to see you went for the autobiography.
Does it have timed climate?
There is/was also a front steering knuckle/upright issue where the top bolt arrangement has dissimilar metal corrosion and the aluminium would shear off, but I'm not sure what VIN range was effected.
Hah perhaps you could explain to the masses why JLR products are constantly at the bottom of the reliability charts? If they worked on their reliability alone, they could outsell Toyota.
@@fredbrackely complicated interdepartmental relationships to be honest...every decision could be a war, i wouldn't be able to suggest just one thing to change for an improvement in quality. Funnily enough, I still want an L322 or L405! They do drive like nothing else. I've had the pleasure of a 2014MY for two weeks, which I drove to Geneva from the UK, so I understand the brand DNA more now, even then, the ACC radar stopped working with snow packing!
“Klima kleber raumfahrzeug”! Ha ha ha - love the trockener humour. Beautiful L405. I have L322 but I know this is just a gateway drug to the full 405 crack.
Ich freue mich wie ein kleines Kind auf den enormen Unterhaltungswert, den Ihr neues Auto bieten wird 👏🏻Frohe Weihnachten aus Dänemark🎄
😊👍Happy New Year 🙋♀️
Christian is like the Jurgen Klopp of motor cars. I’m not a motor mechanic but I love this channel.
I wish there were more people in this world with your expertise and work ethic. Keep up the great work you do. It’s a pleasure to watch your videos.
I have an l322 Westminster 4.4tdv8
Mines remapped goes very well great cars . Once you’ve had a Range Rover you never go back to anything else.
Merry Christmas
Congratulations, looks like a great buy. Those problems it has wont be a problem for you two, have a great end to the year, and a fantastic 2024 and many happy km with the "Queen".
Happy Christmas Vera & Christian . Enjoy your big white bundle of joy. Keep it well locked up as there is a spate of thefts and super high insurance premiums as a result here in the UK at the moment . Looking forward to 2024 and all your FFRR videos !
Merry Christmas Christian and Vera. I am really glad you have bought a L405 as I have done the same. I was able to more confidently tackle problems with my D3 as a result of your videos and now I should be able to do the same with my L405 with less trepidation. Thank You.
So glad you got the RR I'd love one so cool , big problem here in England there so desirable that it's the most stolen car in London shame , merry Christmas from England everyone ❤
Aye, Range Rovers are getting nearly impossible to Insure in the South East of the UK. Land Rover are being nudged into retrofitting updated security into older vehicles, but I think that only extends back to 2018 cars.
That rear view screen is amazing, in the UK it’s a legal requirement that the driver cannot see a video or TV while driving, how it displays two different screens at the same time is total magic to me. I guess it’s the same in most European countries, you can hardly have a driver travelling along watching TV can you.
I’m sure it won’t take you long to unravel the mysteries of the Range Rover and fix it up to tip top standard.
I did not know that this existed. Christian
Fantastic! Merry Christmas from Perth Australia! When I decided I needed to go back to having a Land Rover instead of my N1559N Y62, I was set on a D4 after missing my D3. However, regularly towing a 3.5tonnes loaded caravan I was advised to play safe and bought a 2015 RR L405 SDV8 Vogue SE. Only had it a couple of months so far. 11.1 l/100km towing! Half the fuel consumption of the Y62! My wife and I both being tall, love having seat bases that once again fully extend to the full length of our thighs instead of only half way (sorry Vera). Looking forward to next week’s video already!
Just when the massive theft insurance storm is at its peak in the UK. Perfect timing.
That’s just an internet thing. I’ve just replaced my insurance on my RRS and it cost me about 6% more than last year, so don’t believe everything you read on the internet. Oh, and that was Direct Line, not some dodgy insurance company. And no, I don’t live in London, but then most of us don’t.
JLR company guys must own you and provide british citizenship for the pure love and pain and effort and of course the typical ur of style humour you are putting towards their beloved cars..cheers guys....and what a nice christmas present u got for u guys.....
Congratulations Christen and Vera. Its a beautiful vehicle. A merry Christmas to you all. Cape Town South Africa.
It looks a great purchase.. Dont fix it too quickly, we want to watch more episodes of all the future repairs. And Merry Christmas from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺 🦘
😆 This is WHAT I THINK, happened at 1:42 : your voice assistant triggered a song when you said the words "Queen" and "Rest in Peace" in the same sentence. Great video as usual. Your joy is contagious ! 👍
Hi guys! From the UK and love watching your stuff. As a slightly ashamed but very happy RR owner you should not leave the key in the car. There is a LR TSB somewhere explaining that with the keyless entry, with the keys in close proximity to the vehicle that many modules 'stay alive'. For complete shutdown the keys should be several meters away. After a very flat battery you might also want to run the batter cal again. Enjoy! Looking forward to new videos about this new car.
A policeman friend of our family advised a Faraday bag for our keyless entry / keyless start Range Rover Evoque (2017 300PS petrol Autobiography Auto). He told they’re otherwise quite easy to steal, without the key. Something to do with eliciting a response from the key job & using whatever codes are intercepted to enter & operate the vehicle.
I know it’s absolutely nothing compared with your Queen, and I do love the look & poise of all the biggest RR. We don’t need the capability even of the Evoque and have restricted parking where we live. But, it drives beautifully, my wife (the real owner!) loves everything about it, especially commanding driving position, the power, the refinement and load carrying ability. It also feels like it’s built up to a standard and not down to a price.
Weird things are happening in the used car market in U.K. After a few years of absurd & somewhat frightening run-up in prices we now have more or less a collapse in values, except at the “cheerful cheapie” end of the market. Luxury car prices for such as RR, Audi and even Porsche are really falling. I’ve seen 10-20% price drops into the current winter. I’m almost tempted to buy a 911 😊
Beyond excited to see an L405 on this channel. Own and love the L405. BRILLIANT vehicle. Can’t wait for lots of content in 2024!!! Best to you both! 🎉🎉
Its not just an autobiography i believe it's a range rover vogue autobiography SDV8 lovely car choice tho, its my dream car
ITS LR TIME🎅🎅🎅good morning Christian and vera.what a fabulous range rover.looking forward to future episodes.there won't be much room left on your driveway with that new beast.have a very merry christmas and stay safe🎅🎅🎅
We have more than enough room left . Just yesterday, Fabian surprised us with a monster repair. OMG. Will be in a video soon. 😅👍🙋♀️
Looking forward to that.happy new year🙂🙂🙂
Now this is exciting. I have made the same journey as you guys from D3 to l494/l405 4.4 sdv8 👍
The cup holder thing is very annoying.
Sense of humour on point as always 👍
I bought a 2009 , range rover sport tdv8,, tomorrow it gets an oil and filter,,diff oil think mine is a 320 ,,got good money for my tdv6 discovery 3 ,,low mileage and I love it,,
Brilliant! So glad you got a Range Rover, would've preferred the L322 as that's what I'm looking at getting, but happy with you giving us Range Rover content. Have a very happ christmas and thank you for the entertainment this year! ♥
Happy Christmas Christian and Vera. Great content, always waiting for my Sunday fix from you guys! Keep up the good work, will be great to see the L405 videos!
Great video Guy's, we have recently bought a 2007 4.2lt supercharged petrol L322, and love it.
We also have 4 Range Rover P38 4.6 lt petrol.
Thanks for all your efforts and videos.
Have a very Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 and a Happy New Year 🎉
Cheers Rob and Shelly from Tasmania AUSTRALIA 🇦🇺
Just found this channel. These guys are fantastic! Such energy!
They have some incredible previous vids, especially the lesson on the disco 4 engine
Merry Christmas..from the Simpson Desert.
Loving the TDV8 engine and FFRR.
Keep up the great work you guys 👍 Have a merry Christmas and a happy New Year 😁
Merry Christmas !
My favourite Sunday morning viewing, and a whole new opportunity for different problems, enjoy the new motor, they are the loveliest car to drive.
….and have a great Christmas and New Year, thanks for all your entertainment this year.
Did he say "Turbo charger defect" 😂
I love watching your videos for a good laugh. And not just that, I learn from you guys here and there
Lovely stuff! Happy Christmas to you, Vera and Christian, and all the family. Keep well and see you next year!
👍and you thought that a Discovery or two would provide you with endless content...
...I think the Range Rover will provide you with far more content!
(And quite a lot of luxury too - though many of those luxury gadgets also start to fail after 5-7 years).
Happy holidays and all that!
Thanks for cheering up a rainy Sunday morning in the UK , you guy's are always so positive no matter what confronts you , I have a range rover sport 2014 have had it 5 years when I got it had 37000 miles now 83000 only problems earth wire behind wheel arch, and rear differential pinion seal , think I been lucky good luck in the new year
Good choice, I’ve got a 2017 5.0SC with a stage 1 remap, K&N air filters, a reduced top supercharger pulley and a quicksilver exhaust system, previously I had a 2012 L322 Tdv8. Enjoy your L405, keep the brilliant content coming, Merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous New Year to you both and your family
Just found your channel. Great accents. Love the interaction between both of you. My mother is from Germany, reminds me of all her German relatives who used to come over to the U.S. to visit for the summers., relatives of relatives, somehow we were related my mother said. You show German know how and precision at its best..
Autobiography is a fantastic car. Lots of new content on the way! Merry Christmas to you both.
Good morning you guys and Frohe Weihnachten from East Sussex, UK..🎄🎁👍
Merry Christmas !
So pleased you've bought a Range Rover TDv8 - best car they built! I'm also pleased t be able to tell you I fixed my LR3 suspension! (It was a loose plug.....:os)
Love the boots Vera! They look great.
Congratulations on the new acquisition and Merry Christmas from Australia.
Fantastic, I have the L322, 200k miles and it runs like a dream, was thinking about upgrading to a L405 so I’ll be watching with excitement!
I love your videos you make my Sunday night. Have a happy Christmas and new year.
Congratulations on your purchase. You two rock🤟. Greeting from the USA 🇺🇸
Morning and Merry Christmas Christian and Vera so a newer Christmas present it look very nice and thanks you a great video, Happy New year.
Merry Christmas to you and all the best for 2024👍👍👍🇬🇧👍
I just love you two. It looks like you are having fun.
not a Mall Crawler as Vera says, we call the Chelsea Tractor's in the UK 🤣
All the best for your white Christmas. Here in Australia some hail but no snow. Vera and Christian, thank you for taking the time to make such entertaining videos. My wife and I always look forward to your videos. Have a great New Year.
Thanks and merry Christmas.
I love watching you two. Cheers me right up. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas!
I'm happy for you - happy owner of L405 LWB V8
Someone must like Toyota's in Germany, because the whole years allocation of the new smaller Landcrusier was sold in less than one day. Now they will have to wait to see if Toyota delivers the vehicles this year or maybe next year.
Looking forward to your future videos! Merry Christmas!
I have a Disco 4, my best friend had a Range Rover and a Evoque… the amount of gear I could get into my car was almost double.
My seats all fold flat - and becomes a large flatbed - which I’ve used to move a 3 seater couch for him.
He eventually sold both Range Rovers and got the same Disco 4 as me.
I knew this was going to be a good series, can't wait for the future videos. Hope you have a good rest over the festive period. Merry Christmas to you both.
Merry Christmas to you both..i jumped out of my skin when i saw the rangerover...cant wait see more..all the best
We bought a beautiful L322 and it needed a new engine despite its perfect service history. Now, we have an L405 and although we love the vehicle, it has had too many problems for our liking. We're pretty handy ourselves but when the hydraulic swaybar system failed, we could not fix it ourselves. 5 figure repair bill! Unfortunately, we've decided to move on from JLR
When I bought my 90’s Toyota Hilux, it wasn’t in limp mode and my max speed was 50mph. It’s reliable because it’s the least powerful 2.4 diesel known to man. 😂. Love your new RR, hope you have fun :)
Hi Chris and Vera. Brilliant I have often wandered about the V8 RR engine. I`m looking forward to your videos as usual.
Have a good Christmas. J
Love it! Once I've used up my L322, I might have to upgrade to an L405. I didn't realize it was so much like an S-Class inside 😍
The L322 is not really an improvement over our 2016 HSE Discovery but the L405 is significantly more modern and offers many more useless features. The 740 Nm Diesel is quite impressive and does not consume more than our 3 L. It drives more like a S Class and does not feel like a Truck - which sucks a bit. We’ll do a compare I think.
Merry Christmas and Congratulations on a fantastic purchase, Wonderful vehicles when on song 👍
Vera, the outfit is perfect for LR time outside work shops current weather
Congratulations on the new car guys! The 4.4 V8 Diesel is a fantastic engine and the Autobiography is a stunning spec as well! I hope you both really enjoy the new car as I’m really looking forward to seeing your content on it! Once you’ve done the 4.4 video’s you’ll need to get yourselves a 5.0 then! 😊 I hope you have a great Christmas!
Your videos are brilliant. I love the content and the humour.
Looking forward to the entertaining and informative repairs to your lovely Range Rover.
My dream car💪 theres an land rover with A8 interior and v8 tdi engine loving it❤
Brilliant news most of the negativity about Range Rovers in my opinion is out of jealousy!! my Range Rover has performed faultlessly from the day I purchased it not a single fault, zero, zilch nada and it’s now covered a 110.000miles.
The Range Rover when you park it even in the garage MUST be locked, otherwise you will run the battery down! Once you have mastered its idiosyncrasies it will serve you faultlessly and they are best if you work them hard and drive them hard!!
Happy Christmas to you both
You guys deserve a Range Rover for free . You are the best advert for land rover…. Ever . Love you guys 👍👍👍
Its Christmas Eve, what better way to start than Vera and Christian buying a new victim(sorry car), have a very merry Christmas!
Love my 2016 L405 with v8 supercharged engine. Looking forward to content. Wondering if u experience issues with the Dynamic response suspension system … will wait n see…Merry Christmas
Our 2006 LR3SE has 217,000 miles on it..hope it keeps going.We got it at 23k.We keep on top of repairs.We just did the four O2 Oxygen Sensors even though there was no fault codes.I was hoping for better gas milage as it used to do 15.1 then around 14.3 most of its life but now 12.7 mpg but that doesnt look like its happening but it is picking up better etc. We did rear drive shaft just before that as we thought it might be transmission but it was drive shaft. Always oem manufacturer parts.May it last us long.
I'm laughing at you because you are actually naturally funny, really enjoyed this video! Thank you!
