After some long thought I’ve decided to keep my l322 for the long run

I’ve always loved my l322 2008 hse with the jag 4.4. It’s had some minor issues but nothing major and overall I love the truck. Leigh ally I was debating between a 2017 CPO Range Rover and a 2016 lr4. However I miss having a car and ultimately we’ve decided to get a Mercedes e400 wagon and keep the rover for snow, beach, and the mild off-roading we do in upstate New York.

my question is I’m at 120k miles. Looking to get another 30k and 5 years out of it. It is driven primarily on short light jaunts around the country mixed with long highway drives to where we are going. No hard off-roading. We do lots of rocky and muddy dirt roads but no “rock crawling” or anything that a 4x4 pickup couldn’t do and honestly not often. The transmission fluid, dif, and transfer case fluid has not been done. I know I need to get these done. Other than that if everything is running smooth as it is just fix things as they break or are there any time bombs I’m missing? Reliability is the number one concern since it is the vehicle that I’ll find us in during snow or on back roads that don’t see a car for days - often out of cell service.

As of now it runs smooth in every way and honestly feels better than my 2019 f150 to drive. Getting great gas mileage and no major clunks.

Just take care of the routine stuff and dont let repairs add up. Parts for L322 are pretty affordable with a little internet research. I got my 07 LR3 to 227k before I sold it for a RRS.

I too am curious about retaining my 2008 Range Rover with 112,400 miles. Bought it used six years ago with 84,000 miles. Previously owned Lexus 470 and the Rover is so much nicer to drive so sold the Lexus. Joined this forum for info on what to expect and how others have solved repairs and maintenance.

so far one road trip brake down due to alternator. Transmission serviced myself as well as brakes and rotors. Looking into the tilt wheel issue and hope to fix. Driver front CV boot torn and assume best to replace entire unit due to miles (no symptoms yet but figure boot replacement not adequate).

Assuming if maintenance is continued and I watch for other repairs, is it worth keeping or let it go?

I have a 2006 Range Rover hse 4.4 and it’s at about 216,000 I purchased at around 150,000. I had a few problems recently such as coolant hoses, thermostat and water pump.. also fuel pump went out. I changed alternator and starter trying to fix a starting issue as well as battery. Also changed MAF sensor and throttle body as well as 02 sensors to fix a smog problem but like someone mentioned parts can be found for decent prices online. It seems like when one thing started to go it just kept going for awhile there. Not sure if this helps but just my experience.
Also I’m curious about the tilt issue as mine has the same issue which hasn’t really been that big of a deal, but like to stay on top of things.

So far it has been a good truck.
