- Having owned & run 9 Range Rovers over the past 28years, here are my tips on what to look out for when buying a 3rd generation Range Rover (the L322, produced 2002-2011).

I just bought my first RR, a L322 TDV8 exactly like the one you lovingly describe here. 118k miles for £7750, full history, runs an absolute dream. I know it’ll cost me to run, but with a realistic yearly maintenance budget, and very little depreciation, it works out over a few years about the same as a PCP Qashqai; and life is comprehensively too short for that s**t. It’s so nice to see this affectionate appraisal from an owner rather than Internet forums sniping about the reliability. Thanks for the video, Harry - and while I’m here, I’ve been an Evo lover from the start, so thanks for that too. Now off to eBay for 20” rims...
You talk about cars like some talk about good wine. Genuine passion.
The review reflects my ownership experience. Expensive to own... Yes. Best car I've ever owned... Yes. Would I buy another... Yes.
Have a 2010 HSE, Buckingham Blue exterior with cream interior. 5.0L naturally-aspirated V8, extremely smooth. The ride is incredibly soft and quiet. Haven't had many issues other than basic maintenance pieces (knock on wood). The L322s are the most regal and classiest Range Rovers ever made, in my opinion. I love the big buttons; ease of access and functionality. 2006+, take care of them, they should last a long time. Understated elegance.
Great review. I bought exactly this model at 100,000 miles two years ago. Now on 137,000 and it’s been fantastic for £12k. Exactly has Harry says, I’ve had a rusted through tailgate stay, a split turbo hose, a wheel bearing fail and I flushed the transmission oils when I bought it. Also EGT valves started to cough misfire and smoke on warm start. Did a digital delete with a new map that locks out the valve forever. Runs like a watch now and only cost £300. Mine tows, lives on a farm, has kids in it all the time and with a wash it looks really classy. Very very very good cars for the money.

I had a 2007 TDV8 for a year in Namibia. Best car I ever had in every aspect, exept reliability. Sand, rocks, gravel, tarmac. Its absolutely capable everywhere. And comfortable. It had 85 000 miles on when I bought it, with a full dealer service history. I spent about £6000 on repairs in the year I owned it. Gearbox oil gasket. EGR valve. Exhaust manifold gasket. Dampers. Brake discs. Brake pads. One morning I came into the garage ONE fog light shining. And the battery was stone dead. During my year of ownership, it was at the dealership more than with me. But its so excellent in all other ways that videos like this tempt me.
It was pretty much down to this video that I bought my own 2010 Galway Green L322 TDV8 Vogue SE...and it is a truly an amazing vehicle, highly recommended.
I had a chance to live with a 2010 LR322, V8 Petrol, back in late 2012 up to early 2014. I was hired by this well-off family back in Massachusetts in late 2012. They've given me the task to ferry their children along in their Range Rover, I've taken it to rural areas and high elevations in New England. I was smitten by this model, not only by the looks but also by how it made me feel as a driver. Driving this model was nothing but a treat, although it had some issues like high maintenance cost. Anyhow, when my employers finally decided to trade it in with the LR405, I was sad to see the old Rangie go. Up until this day, I still think the Shape of the older 322 is more elegant than the current 405. Well, thanks for giving me this nostalgic video Harry!
Had 4.4 V8 on a 2003, never had a problem with it apart from a gearbox problem which was just a switch that kept putting it into manual, easily fixed and was under warranty.
Its been a long day for me. Just sat down at the TV and this pops up. Brilliant.
I love the way this guys presents; I could listen to him all day! Certainly make me want to have a neb around autotrader
by far the best and my favourite car themed channel,i enjoy watching every video
Cufflinks! Harry, you're the best. Always enjoy riding along watching your reviews. Many thanks.
Harry, I was so relaxed wile watching yet another flawlessly brilliant video. I could feel the Wafting! Nothing like it after a long day at the office!
It's such a pleasure to watch, you don't find car reviews like that anymore, sadly...
As usual another brilliant video. Thank god Harry goes this as there simply isn't a decent TV program any more.
Great review! I have a 2007 with the 4.2 SC engine. Absolutely love it. Purchased in 2013 it’s a fabulous ride and I’ve saved loads of labor by doing most of the work myself. I haven’t paid the engine a second thought, it has 155k miles and only uses 1/4 quart every 5k miles. Always get compliments and the performance is superb. I’ve had the best all season performance from the Continentals. Appreciate your time.
I have just bought 2012 v8 diesel L322 Westminster. Excellent vehicle for long road trips, very quiet, hugely powerful. Has not been serviced properly in the past which I will shortly address in full. I also have a 110 300 Tdi Defender which is more fun to drive - more involving, though not as cosseting as at the L322 of course.
What an absolutely delightful chap. Really enjoyed this video; well-presented and clear to understand without the jargon that most of us wouldn't be familiar with. Excellent!
