Enjoyed this review, great work guys. I bought a 2011 TDV8 4.4 Vogue in August 2021 - loving it so far and don’t see myself ever moving from full size range rovers, the experience is just special, worth the expensive running costs.
great video and lovely car. Just bought an L405 myself and love it! Nice to watch a video and hear a fellow northern irish man. That being said it must be killer for a Northern Irish man to pay ticket price (but as said hard to do a deal when holding deposit has been given)
The MOT history only going back as far as 2020 would have instantly put me off along with list of of fails/advisories as long as my arm, especially so many of them being corrosion related. Lovely colour though and I get the appeal having owned Range Rovers myself but you definitely need deep pockets and a good specialist to make a success of it.
Made sure we had a good look around. It’s just minor surface stuff and easily corrected. The car spent time in Northern Ireland where the MoT centres are run by the government so nothing slips through. I’m happy with the independent specialist inspection but we weren’t going to foot the bill for the aux belts. Ed
Thank you. Getting used to just being ‘me’ on screen. Just hoping to help others avoid the pitfalls and get the best. Glad you’re along for the journey. Ed
Good video! Prices must have gone up a good bit! I bought a 2012 4.4 tdv8 in early 2020 for 8k, but having own loads of L322s the 4.4 is something else and after driving a new model for a few hours I don’t think there is much in it! I’d drive either quite happily.
Yes you bought at the right time. We would have waited until prices settle a bit but we need a proper tow car for racing. Prices have gone up about £3k in the last year but just loved this colour combo. Ed
I agree. I’ve walked away from cars (hypothetical walk 😂) if they try this on the phone. I shortlist 3-4, hit the phone and go with gut instinct before I even view - never let me down
Bloody good deal actually, it is most probable that he could sell it for more than he paid. As for the parcel shelf - they’re usually more of a hindrance than a help.
I’ve a feeling though that the over inflated market here is on the turn. However this was bought as a luxury tow car. Everyone loves it and it’s now affectionately known as ‘the bus’. 😁🙏👍 Ed
Second hand covers are up to £300 on ebay...NOT CHEAP. When I asked about the missing one on mine, dealer said they were quite often missing. I pointed out they were part of the vehicles trim and that you wouldnt buy one with a missing door card.Was walking away when he said he'd find one.
Iv just bought a 2011 4.4, mine comes with the detachable tow bar from JLR but I'm looking to install a fixed tow bar as I trust them more especially when towing big weight. Can I ask what miles was on yours when you purchased it. Did it come with a go warranty?
@@Back_Road_Hero cheers Ed. I'm seriously considering one of these, it's good to hear that even some major work isn't completely bank breaking. Look forward to hearing a review
Perhaps. Been there, done that. An ML never gave me the same feeling as the RR though. All cars have issues, I don’t tend to shy away. Everything is fixable. Ed

Agree totally. This is our second one. We’ve more to come on it so if you haven’t subscribed already then please do so. Regards. Ed
@@Back_Road_Hero look forward to seeing the next video!
@@joer9643how has it been treating you so far?

I have recently bought a 2004 4.4 v8 petrol l322. Absolutely love it for work and family fun
Thanks. Hole this one is as good. Ed
Lovely car, great colour combo too, looking forward to seeing more on it.
Thanks. I’ll be doing a full review on it soon. Ed

Very good video and useful tips when looking at a car
Great informative video.. good to see!
It appears some garages claim to do full service yet saddly do not.
Great video, love your style, hope the channel grows.
Thank you. Getting used to just being ‘me’ on screen. Just hoping to help others avoid the pitfalls and get the best. Glad you’re along for the journey. Ed
Excellent video and very detailed, thank you my friend!
You’re welcome. Thanks for the comment. Ed
Excellent video and like the content. Different to other reviews out there! Keep up the good work.
Thanks for your kind words. 🙏 Ed

Not a fan of salesmen using holding deposits at all. It's a bit of a sneaky tactic.

@@willwonka1325 yep the sales man that is straight up about a cars faults is way more reassuring.
My combination! Congrats.
Yes they are lovely. 😁👍 Ed
Beautiful Rig wish US have this model

Thanks for the video. How can I get it here from Tanzania(East Africa)?
Nice car
Mind sharing the specialist you used for the second key? I need one myself.. cheers!
Glad to help. They’re based in London. But will travel for a reasonable fee. Ed www.carkeyssolutions.co.uk/
Beautiful colors. Would it be possible to get the wheel reference ?
Hi. Wheels are 19" 10 spoke Part Number LR023207. Regards. Ed
@@Back_Road_Hero Hi, thank you Ed !
Shows how much values on these have fallen in the past 2 years. This would be under £10k now. Great video though.
Yes easily under £10k. I knew he paid over the odds for it but he liked the colour combo and the relatively low mileage. Ed
To be fair the cars probably had a dog in it in the past, Hence the load cover missing and you couldn't use the load cover with a dog in the boot?
Just flip it up and it’s fine.
Mate I really like Your car Taste! 😅👌
Thanks! 😁 Ed

Hi Dan. It has 88k on it and we purchased an additional ‘gold’ 1 year warranty for £700. Ed
Don’t use a main dealer. Ever. Loads of much better independent specialists around.
Thanks Rob. That’s good advice as they tend to know the older cars better.
Jeez, I had a laugh about the dodgy numberplate lol. He obviously doesn’t know the craic lol 😋
I quite like the fact that it’s been to NI. When you see the extras they put them through over there. 👍😁 A little taste of home. 👍 Ed
@@Back_Road_Hero would love to meet up when your next over this way! :)
Always be careful in Birmingham. Nothing more said.
Not sure I understand? Is this a warning or a threat?
@@Back_Road_Hero a warning 😂 some real cowboys around Birmingham
He's right. Rarely will I buy a car in Birmingham and I live here. Not what it used to be.
Poor fella , lemons galore on council estates £1-2 grand on ebay
Not for a 4.4 TDV8. Thanks for watching.
Go to range rover for 4 new sub frame bushes!!!! It'll be twice the price of the car!!
Already have the quote from them at £800 but will most likely go to a specialist when needed. Ed

Yes. All on the way. If you subscribe then you’ll get the updates. This is a long term car for us. A bit of a workhorse to tow the race car. 😁
your not a sales person ,deposite no,bet they loved you 😂
I didn’t do the deal. My father in law was just too keen to purchase it and got carried away. It was his money after all. 👍
Ruined the video with a weird horn noise
If that’s all, then I’m quite happy with that. Cheers. Ed
That flamin horn throughout the video is soooo annoying - otherwise great stuff!
Yes I know. Sorry. I was pretty new at this. Haven’t used it since. Ed
Better of buying the Mercedes ml in the yard. Those range rovers are trouble
Perhaps. Been there, done that. An ML never gave me the same feeling as the RR though. All cars have issues, I don’t tend to shy away. Everything is fixable. Ed
@@Back_Road_Hero. Good comment. The rr certainly has that superior look.
