And after 20 years of petrol range rovers, (Classic, P38 and L322) I have now opted for a Stornaway Grey 2011 4.4 TDV8. Here she is pictured next to old faithful (which will now be put up for sale if anyone’s interested)

After a week of ownership, very impressed with it, it can fair shift when you want it to! And quiet too, inside the cabin.

Had it serviced right after I bought it and only issue found was a leak in one of the suspension air bags, along with a cracked rear tail light cover.

One question I do have though, is there a knack to filling up a diesel rangie? I’ve only filled it twice but the pump nozzles keep getting splash backs and keeps cutting out... takes ages to fill it up, but apart from that it drives great

Have you checked the yellow mis fuelling guard?

Mis fuelling guard? Can you explain a bit more please?

If you put a petrol filler nozzle in it triggers a flap to kick back the fuel flow. To reset it thee should be a yellow plastic tool in the car...try the boot or glovebox. Alternatively try a large long screwdriver.

It is in mentioned in the handbook or try search above 2012 tdv8 Westminster arrived Jan 19 gone Dec 23

Turn the fuel hose upside down.

Weird I know but mine was a pain to fuel and flipping the handle on the hose upside down meant I could fill it full throttle👍🏻 There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

I've found that holding the nozzle so that it's parallel to the ground works with mine.

Dunc. The life you have is the only one you'll get; make the most of it.

I picked mine up when I bought it, went to nearest garage to fill with fuel, still there 2 hours later having called the garage out. Still the same 5 years later.... can only put nozzle in a bit or misfuel thing comes on.... right pain.

The release tool was even in the drivers door pocket 🤣

When I bought it from the car dealer there was 3/4 a tank of fuel in it, which i thought most odd for buying a new car...

Anyroads, had look this morning and sure enough the yellow filler guard has operated, unfortunately I can't find the reset tool anywhere, however I did find some various tools and an unused towing strap complete with towing eyes stored at the back of the spare wheel

Got a mate having a look to see if he can find his, otherwise might pop down to local Landrover Dealership and see if they will reset it for me.

She drives brilliantly, never misses a beat and has wanted for nothing,.. but, and there's always a but.... she is gonna need a wee bit of work doing to her at some point, so I'm hoping someone prepared to take her on.

I just brought a TDV8 2012 registered March 2013 so i think it may be one of the last of the L322's and i adore it my last one was a L322 TD6 i loved that too but this is a step up and so much better on Derv too .
As for fueling now i have fixed the fuel gauge i find that if i lift the pump head i do not have any issues but if i let it rest it can be tricky.
