Last proper looking Range Rover in my opinion. Not that I'd say no to a new L405. But, this was the beast. The sound of that V8 diesel. As good as a petrol V8.
Collect my 2012 4.4 Vogue on Friday. Watching a video like this made me realise it was the best decision... who wants a new Ford or Renault when you can have something unique and luxurious. These make my BMW look like a Dacia!!!
I agree with you but it’s important to reach that conclusion in the knowledge that these vehicles are not cheap to run. If you can set aside a few grand each year to cover the potential problems, and have good roadside assistance cover and alternative transport if needed, then the indulgence is worth it. If you have to spend a couple of hours of your life each day behind the wheel,, why waste the opportunity to make it an enjoyable experience?
Agree 100%, Got one 6+ years ago 38k mls (Now 68.800) Re-mapped by DMS 390+bhp 700+torks goes like stink, good-ish fuel consumption on a run ...Had to put new front suspension leg on (Air bag burst)...tyres , Got rid of back box, S/S two pipes into four (Jag supercharge)sounds brill..Best car ever had bar none...
Your video is awesome! Love the car I have one right now that I'm about to purchase 2012. I've been debating, but your video is pushing me to do it LOL
@@BarrieCrampton Hi Barrie.... I'm looking at a 2012 Supercharged Range Rover with 90,000 miles on it. They want $19,499....There are no headsets for the rear entertainment and there is no rear trunk area cover. In your opinion, do you think it's a good deal?
How comfortable is 2010 Defender I like the short version of it ? I imagine seat very hard ( military feeling ) got 2 L 322 supercharged 2007 and 4.4 2004 HSE , so comfortable !!
İ discovered ur channel just a couple of days ago and really liked it,great job Barrie keep on showing us nice cars with nice explanations👍🏼 Regards from İstanbul🙋♂️
It is an amazing car! My mum used to own one, it is an absolute amazing car, extremely pricy and/or expensive, but it’s definitely worth the money I would think!
I have to say i am still in-love with this model, i owned a 2008 Supercharged and it was fun to drive - for 4 years after that it gives me headache. LR builds nice Off Road vehicles but it’s just not realizable cars. It doesn’t have a compass on top of that for an off-road🥴. Perhaps if Toyota takes over they can bring the Marque back.
Thanks for the info Barrie. I now have one. Love it. I'm a 73 year old hgv driver. Midlife crisis? White with black 22"alloys. Looks like a proper pimps/drug dealers car..........ps. I have to blame my mate Billy Smith though. Its his fault.
The rear looks very empty without the Range Rover badge. Apart from that, nothing wrong with it! I would love to get one! To buy one is one thing, to keep paying the expensive taxes here in Belgium + servicing the car is another thing. We need to pay to pay 3400€/year of taxes here in Belgium
@@garyhawkins-pianoteacherpi6490 Its one of the most unreliable cars ever, a guy at work had to spend over £5000 on an engine and transmission rebuild. If you don't have disposable income stay away from the TDV8.
Well thats one example that you know of, how many other perfectly satisfied owners do you know? None of the cars we have sold have given us any trouble at all, We have had lots of problems with Mercedes Benz and Bmw’s and Porsches though
Only ever sent 1 car to South Africa before and as i remember it was a long process, not easy and you have to do it as a personal import, and they arrange all between collection and delivery
Funny that people are picking on your driving position. Im another one though. Sit back in the seat with your shoulders touching the seat back and then rest your wrist on the top of the wheel. Thats will be about right for proper control. Otherwise....all good carry on......

Hi Barrie. Great video. Got two questions, which do you prefer, the full size Range Rover or Range Rover Sport? Also what power unit would you suggest?
Yes they are awesome vehicles, mine is a little older and I love driving it. But you’ve only had it for 5 minutes; how about an update after a couple of years? when anyone in the know looks at a review of a 2012 Range Rover, what they are looking for is... how reliable has it been? Unfortunately even the best kept service book will only tell you what was done on the regular service . What it won’t tell you is about the replacement of Air Suspension bags, turbocharger, gearbox, handbrake mechanism, wiper motor, brake pipes, fuel pump, and whatever else, in between those services. And at the prices charged for parts and labour, that is exactly what people need to know before they buy one. These vehicles are a considerable ongoing financial commitment. As long as people realise that and still consider it worth it, like I do, that’s fine. You can budget for that. The only thing that does bother me though, is that you never know where or when you’ll be stranded when the problem hits.
LOL only driving it for 5 minutes, I've bought and sold about 50 Range rovers over the past 4 years. We are responsible for both reconditioning and warranty when we sell them, and from memory, we have had one airbag problem £250, one suspension compressor and we bought it like that (£600) a heated windscreen problem which was a fuse 50p, and a Turbo Actuator which was stuck and we freed it off, a cooling fan for a heated and cooled seat £250, apart from that they have been great cars, I've done about 40,000 miles in various cars, and my customers have covered approximately 700,000 Miles between them, so i would consider myself to be included in your "Anyone in the Know" section and i think they are great cars that if looked after and maintained are equally as good if not better than Mercedes or BMW, oh and I have been in the Motor Trade for 50 years too
@@BarrieCrampton OK I stand corrected, but I can only go from my personal experience. I have a 2002 Vogue (L322). Yes it's the earlier slightly under powered BMW set up which I bought with 150k on the clock, but even with that, after covering a further 40k myself I (although spread over 10 years as it's a holiday car abroad) would not have expected.... rreplacement gearbox (recon), replaced turbocharger, both front air suspension bags, wiper motor, fuel pump, handbrake assembly, brake caliper, discs & brake pipe, bodywork repair (rusting on wheel arch where water collects behind it,) replaced trim mouldings below front seat, rear light cluster lens covers, upper brake light lens cover, various lesser suspension parts, and probably more I've forgotten; total spend (routine servicing aside) around £15k. is it possible that those 50 cars pass through your hands fairly quickly before these big issues arise? Nobody would be happier than me to learn that more recent models are more reliable because I'm thinking of trading in my Toyota Land Cruiser LC3 for a 2014-ish Range Rover but it's a brave move as I'm sure you don't need me to tell you how the Land Cruiser compares with the Range Rover for reliability. 5 mins on google for reviews will tell the story. And I'm not a hater (I can't be if I've kept mine on the road regardless of cost) they are awesome vehicles but surely youre not suggesting they aren't expensive to maintain? You'd be the first I've ever heard to claim that.
Justin Neill sounds like you have been unlucky, weve had all sorts of ages and mileages, and believe me if something goes wrong with a car even if its out of warranty customers cant wait to tell you. Also we have experience with other older vehicles like Bmws which ingest swirl flaps and blow the engines up, chew through timing chains causing catastrophic engine failure, bodh control units £800 stupid led lamps where 1 led goes and a new lamp costs £390 VW’s injectors £350 1 goes and the whole car stops, egr valves £600, minis exploding gearboxes, renault every single electrical item in the car, Audis Air Bag ecus £1000 Fords turbos, engines blowing up, etc etc, i could go on, and on, and on
@@BarrieCrampton OK, I think I'm going to go for it. My Land Cruiser appears to have been written off after I took it through deep water without a snorkel which entered the air intake, that's why I'm in the market.

Like your range videos Barry I’ve got a sport at the moment thinking of going for a vogue what’s your thoughts on running them on 22inch alloys mine has them at the moment never had an issue but people say compromising on ride what’s your thoughts
nigel byrne thankyou, 22 inch Rims look fantastic but imho they do compromise the ride, more tyre noise, hardly any rubber between the rims and the pot holes means that all to often the rims get buckled or flats on them and it ends up feeling like you are driving on threepenny bits
The minute you entered & sat on the rear seat, it was very clear your knees were less than 2" from touching the back of front seat. You are also smart enough to avoid touching the issue but, had you had longer legs...
My son who is 6’3 fits better in the back seat of my 2015 VW Passat than in the Range Rover. In fact, it’s not even close. Only the newer Rovers offer the extended L versions that really have great rear seat room.
I'm 6"3 and can get in the back behind drivers seat set up for me. What you mean is, absolute imbeciles who have the seat too far back and have the tilt almost horizontal.
Wow Sir, that is a great car. I always love Land Rover, but I still cannot afford one. 😫 the one you are driving is awesome and it feels so powerful and comfortable. Do you own the car? Or Are you a dealer? How much does this car cost? How much are you asking for it? And by the way I love that nice British accent.
Nyc awsm 👌 sir i m luking to buy autobiography 2013 model in india which is like l322..but i m in doubt due to some videos on TH-cam..but i luv l322..is it good to buy ? If it driven aprox 60000km with all service history ...please answer my question..and tell me which engine is reliable?
Better review than so called professional car review channels! Thanks for your enthusiasm and knowledge. (is it the gopro angle but it makes you look like your sitting miles from the wheel and the pedals 🤔😂)
If that guy with the concertina RR had had children in the back, they would not have survived, clearly, so he was very fortunate to have been travelling alone.
we've had cars in with well over 100,000 miles and they drive like new, I expect if the car has had a hard life and poorly serviced like any car it could develop problems, you just need to limit your possible exposure by getting a nice example with a good service history
@@BarrieCrampton very good advice, but i was taken aback by that comment on honestjohns car review site. ( transmission usually lasts about 100k miles, costs 6k to replace)? They make out its a very common issue, which its not.
I know it's probably trendier and better suited to the people who are buying them these days, but the L405 isn't a patch on the L322. Either in terms of pure handsome, timeless looks or genuine practicality. Though who knows, if they replace it with an even bigger pig, in ten years even the L405 might seem restrained by comparison. xD
Just sold my 2012 Westminster after 150,000 miles, absolutely loved it and it was totally reliable (unusual for a RR!), I've now got a new shape 4.4 Autobiography. The new one is better in almost every department but it doesn't have the same sense of occasion the L322 does, they are fantastic cars for what you can buy them for, but make sure you get the later 4.4 with the 8 speed gearbox, it's night and day better and much more reliable and surprisingly frugal ( I averaged 30MPG)
ive had a friend tumble 4 times break a tree and fall into a ditch with a hyundai santa fe -> he walked out no problems but ruined the road :))) he drives only hyundai now . ANY 5 STAR CAR CAN BE SAFE that RR is not a 5 star car now , its just big
they get a lot of bad publicity, I think it is because people expect more of British Built Products, and hold the manufacturers to a higher standard, but the truth is that we sell lots of LandRover Cars, and they go wrong less than Audis, Mercedes, and Certainly BMWs,
@@BarrieCrampton I mean you're parked up obstructing the public highway, on a bend in the road, putting other road users at risk. All for the sake of a you tube video.
@@John_Wood_ I'm afraid you are completely wrong, that road is a dead end and there are vehicles parked all up the road and I am not obstructing anyone
bro i cant watch this guy drive with is arms so stretched out, just move the seat forward or grow longer arms - looks so awkward - otherwise was probably a great review and love this car, but didnt watch the whole thing cause i just couldnt lol
Besides the fact, that it rains all the time in England because of what humans have done to the Earth....Sorry, Land Rover Range Rover....there is no "Evasive" maneuvers in that vehicle and it doesn't keep going and going. It gets about 14MPG and the reliability? I don't have to continue. In addition: You're not on your media room couch. Can you sit any farther from the steering wheel? It's not a GT3 car or F1 (horrid computer driven/no manuals racing) but, your 10 feet or 3.33 meters away. ;)

No, it only happens that you find your car laid on the ground in the morning.
ive had a friend tumble 4 times break a tree and fall into a ditch with a hyundai santa fe -> he walked out no problems but ruined the road :))) he drives only hyundai now . ANY 5 STAR CAR CAN BE SAFE that RR is not a 5 star car now , its just big
Repair bill would be the death of me
Repair bills
they get a lot of bad publicity, I think it is because people expect more of British Built Products, and hold the manufacturers to a higher standard, but the truth is that we sell lots of LandRover Cars, and they go wrong less than Audis, Mercedes, and Certainly BMWs,
That's a reading car
What's it doing in Leeds?
i'm from Preston Lancashire and we have customers from all over the UK coming to buy cars from us
Someone drove it there?
Some place to do a video chap
How do you mean?
@@BarrieCrampton I mean you're parked up obstructing the public highway, on a bend in the road, putting other road users at risk. All for the sake of a you tube video.
@@John_Wood_ I'm afraid you are completely wrong, that road is a dead end and there are vehicles parked all up the road and I am not obstructing anyone
@@BarrieCrampton LOL, you're some laugh. The video shows that not to be the case!
@@John_Wood_ Because I've edited it to look like its not,
Barry Clipboard!! haha
Interior of the 405 is abysmal compared to l322.
And the seats!
No fridge
I think you could install one. I'm not sure,just thinking.
@@MrHemofilic I sold it now 2 months ago, but ta!
I don not think that you can reach the steering wheel
Your powers of deduction are incredible, so what do you think im turning the steering wheel with 😂
@@BarrieCrampton finger tips
All good, but thanks for your concern, i try and sit as far away from things that are designed to explode in your face as i can 👍
@@BarrieCrampton I can see where you are coming from, it is ok but you will have less control in an emergency, but I like your camera angles:)
bro i cant watch this guy drive with is arms so stretched out, just move the seat forward or grow longer arms - looks so awkward - otherwise was probably a great review and love this car, but didnt watch the whole thing cause i just couldnt lol
Bro you drive how you are comfortable and i will drive how I feel comfortable, if you cant handle that then adios!
Oh and fyi th-cam.com/video/anG2atZ7EHA/w-d-xo.html
Ma come guida questo ?
Ha le braccia talmente tese che non arriva nemmeno ai comandi e tantomeno al volante !!!
this should explain it th-cam.com/video/anG2atZ7EHA/w-d-xo.html
Another "beast" i could easily make friends with lol
What a car :-)
Besides the fact, that it rains all the time in England because of what humans have done to the Earth....Sorry, Land Rover Range Rover....there is no "Evasive" maneuvers in that vehicle and it doesn't keep going and going. It gets about 14MPG and the reliability? I don't have to continue. In addition: You're not on your media room couch. Can you sit any farther from the steering wheel? It's not a GT3 car or F1 (horrid computer driven/no manuals racing) but, your 10 feet or 3.33 meters away. ;)
I sit where I am comfortable thank you, and Range Rovers are great cars and reliable too, if they weren't, we wouldn't sell them . But thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment th-cam.com/users/edit?o=U&video_id=anG2atZ7EHA
