The L322, a good one, is a proper range rover in all respects. It out classes the RR sport, which someone said earlier is just a Disco 3 in drag.



I have a L322 & I have a Discovery 3. They are worlds apart. The discovery 3 is slightly more expensive to keep maintained, but once all the major bits are done shouldn't cause any worry. The L322, up until 2008 have gearbox issue's & my L322 has just had it's third box fitted.
As for power & performance, the disco 3 will leave the L322 in it's wake.

However, these are landrovers, & anything with landrovers isn't cheap. You need a deep pocket to own & run one.

Unless it's a P38 and you DIY:D
 
Just think, when the L322 gets as old as the P38 sheds the parts would be cheaper to buy by then

I'm sure the P38 was just as expensive to repair back in the days when it was new ?!

Very doubtfull, the electronics are much simpler in the P38 for starters. In fact, I suspect that by 15 years old electronic parts may become difficult on the L322. Not impossible to dump the BECM, it's been done, and keep the P38 running, I wouldn't like to try the same on an L322.

It's not just an L322 that has electronics

In no way are range rovers simple! They wouldn't be a range rover if they were !


Most car manufacturers now produces cars with the same amount of complex electronics inside them.

Plenty of toys on my '02 Vogue SE - sat nav, memory,heated seats, dipping mirrors etc, etc (more spec than many expensive new company cars i've had).........& everything works, never had an electrical issue on mine.
 
Mate at work has just bought a 2009 Audi Q5 and the gearbox has gone. Fortunately for him under warranty, otherwise he'd be looking at thousands plus £110 an hour to fit. Takes them a week to do it. Like Data says, all these high end machines are heading for the scarp yard at 15 years old, nobody will want to touch them.

Well, not bad for a 14 year old. The benefits of buying an end of line model - most common niggles found through real life use are generally ironed out. Wouldn't fancy an early model L322 for this very reason, & judging by recent posts on here....i'm not wrong. :rolleyes:
