L322 Range Rover TDv8 Autobiography
Discussion
Pistonheads has broken me again. For a year or two I've been looking at L322's with longing, having had a couple in the distant past. Then I turned 50 and realised I really don't like my 520D estate.
All went well until a Market Place post was dropped under my nose. Unfortunately, that one went before I could get there. But the monster was unleashed.
So last Friday I pottered off towards Grimsby to collect my ebay action win, the bargain of the day at £2,150. Unfortunately not very well described with several big and expensive problems, I retreated quickly, questioning my mind...
That lasted until today. Agreed the price (well over budget), and picked up 3 hours later from a very nice village in the Yorkshire Wolds. Enthusiast owned, and only 40 of these exist in 2008 model year. 123k, Full LR Dealer/Specialist history Drives extremely well. I am delighted. Enough waffle.. The pictures..

The L322 is such a good era of RR.That looks great in that red; I took a photo of an L405 in a similar hue a year or so ago because it was so rare to see it in a colour at all.
I imagine it'll be a bit more complicated to live with than the BMW but like you, I didn't really find my F11 very interesting so sold it after 18 months. Running a car you love makes any issues become character rather than problems.

2 weeks in and it is behaving most un LandRover like. Nothing has broken, nothing has fallen off, nothing has leaked....
I've done 3 long journeys in it which are sublime. And now ordered a kit to add Car Play to the existing system.
Averages 31.5 mpg over a 200 mile from Bristol to Doncaster today.
One thing I want to look into is how to deal with peeling lacquer. Not dreadful, but one or two panels have a little so i would like to get a plan in mind.

Love the colour. Shame it's not the correct engine but nice to see a red one I've done 3 long journeys in it which are sublime. And now ordered a kit to add Car Play to the existing system.

What's the adapter for car play? I don't know there was anything available that can be added to these for that.
