Had the L322 for 5 years (50 -> 100k) and the L405 coming up on 4 years so far (32k -> 58k) but starting to look at a replacement, mainly because I have a 5.0 itch I might need to scratch.

Ah I’d forgotten about the 5.0 itch……. That affects me from time to time, but have yet to succumb mainly because the current car has been so good and I’d worry a 5.0 would let me down. Irrational I know, but we’re talking Land Rover products here, where the mantra is “if you’ve got a good ‘un, hang on to it”

Bought my 2006 4.2 s/c in 2012, chopped it in for a 2009 5.0 s/c in 2016 because I’d rather have had that originally. It’s still my daily drive.

Just coming up for 18 years. Bought mine in May 2005 at almost three years old and 38,000 miles. Now nearly 21 years old and on 156,000 miles. I still love it even after all these years.
I'm 62 so have owned it well over a quarter of my life.

First one I bought 6 years old, kept it for about 24 years, had new 3.9 v8 petrol with re-jetted stromburg carbs + new LT77 5 speed manual box. I replaced both prop shafts and both diffs etc etc. The metal worm finally defeated me.




Present one going on 8 years

5 years 2 months. A 2005 TD6 Vogue.

Bought it from an auction on a whim and ended up selling my 1 year old RRS. Have done around 30,000 miles so far

I bought my 2003 HSE in 2007 with ~40,000 miles on it. It now has 230,000 miles on it and still looking good and going strong.

Had mine around 2 months.

Loving it!

Bought a series 3 second hand in 1984 then a classic in 1986 then a p38 in 1998 then s/c l322 in 2011 another 4.4 petrol l322 a few weeks ago still have all except the series 3 big mistake getting rid of that

Had mine just over 1 year at 74,000 miles. 2011 l322 Vogue 4.4.

So far new oil cooler, new air con. condenser, diesel tank electrics renewed and fuel filter replaced all done for about £2000, just waiting for next expense.

I knew about the reputation of costs re used RRs before I bought the car so I'm not complaining and have a "repair and service" fund set aside for these things.

This vehicle brings a smile to my face every time I use it, tows my caravan sublimely, reasonably economic for a 4.4 and my wife loves it.

What more can a man want ? RR owner

“This vehicle brings a smile to my face every time I use it, tows my caravan sublimely, reasonably economic for a 4.4 and my wife loves it.”

That sentence pretty much sums up why we all love these cars.

Have had my 2011 TDV8 Vogue SE for 9 years now, first ever diesel and 4th FFRR. Bought it with 25k miles on the clock and now at 75k. Only really let me down once when the starter motor went 'click! I used to do 40k miles per annum but ended up working from home....

Bought my P38 4.0 Westminster10-10-2010 sorn at the mo had the sc for 7years this Sept

Since picking her up new in Sept 17. Never be able to do that again!

Only planned a year of ownership but 19 months / 28k miles later that plan is out of the window…. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)

How do I post a new topic on this forum  RR owner
