  • P38s are good off road we used ours off road but then bought an l322 and I think the l322 is a better off road car and is more comfortable and reliable

  • What the hell is that music!?

  • nice !!!!!! were is this wont to take mine there new to range club love it ;)

  • Ja kupil sebe etu shtuku! Eto prosto super!!!!!!

  • gonna get me some money together and get me another range.

  • Great music! The theme from 633 Squadron! I can see those Mosquitoes now!

  • @DanUK1984 It was me that said my dad had 20's on his, not LIP 15... And yes, you are right regarding the Larger rim, smaller tire, less comfort etc.

  • @Lee1188 Also the larger rims mean less sidewall, and sometimes you need some sidewall flex.

  • @DanUK1984 in the first few seconds of this clip, yours looks exceptionally high. I think that may be due to my dad having 20' Land Rover wheels though...

  • @Lee1188 No - its in off road mode.

    Wheel size has no effect on overall wheel+tyre diameter as a bigger wheel has a thinner tyre...

  • @DanUK1984 Yeah I realise that, I just wasn't sure if the wheel size would have altered the way it handles off road..

  • but a bigger wheel, gives you less tire, less traction, large wide tires on big rims are just good for looks and a sports car on dry roads. Put some Hummer size wheels and tires and you can get that water clearance over the ten inches, near 20 inches, but on the highway, you made need to replace a few disc (in your back). No video shows water reaching over the grill, many are on Range Rover Courses that are set up for the specs of ascent, descent, rock and water clearance. Fun to watch!

  • @DanUK1984 not always. u can have a tire like 305/85/18. its a pretty big set up.

    (1990 Land Rover Range Rover County Classic with ARB lockers front center and rear)

  • I had a 2004 Vouge and i missed it so much about a year after selling it that i went and bought a 2001 D HSE... It drives and rides better than the 2004!! It filled that range rover hole in my life hahaha....sick video mate!

  • arggh.. sad my dad sold his classic-..- cant illegally drive to tthemud near my house again..

  • this is a uk model right?

  • The P38 is a superb old car. It gets a lot of bad press from those that mourn the loss of the Classic but it's not deserved. My P38 with just some reasonable tyres has scrabbled up and down hills that have seen a Defender try and fail on and two fully modded Discos decide not to try. I'm no off road genius. It's the car with a modicum of know how.

    Follow someone in a Defender round a course and I guarantee you they will be working up a sweat whilst you simply cruise along behind them.

  • did anything break or leak in after that?

  • @mrlandroverdiscovery

    No, it was well under the wading limit. The door seals are excellent on the P38, much better than the classic I had, and tbh better than the L322 than I have now.

  • @DanUK1984 oh thats good I just got a disco 2 I'm kind of afraid to take it offroad because I don't want to break anything

  • @DanUK1984 mate I have to agree on the wading limit, I had to push my P38 through a deeper river crossing than this and with the water over the bonnet splashing against the windshield, it did it like it had a snorkel! Funny thing was a defender with a snorkel had an issue.. go figure

  • nice ride. looking to buy one my self. any things i should look out for when i am buying?

  • Good vid I personally love Range Rovers even though im a jeep guy.

    I have to say im pretty sure my Grand Cherokee could do any of that.

    But great video my cousin has the exact same vehicle and it is def an amazing vehicle, wish I could take my jeep to some of those places you went through.

    Great vid.

  • @JeepGCK2006

    Same here, got WH Grand Cherokee, and the only thing that ever put me of a Range Rover - is transmission reliability....

    Seen a few pouring fluids in my time,

    and now they're owned by TATA (indian) which is a real shame.

    Keep British - British.

  • @jeep4jeep their owned by them but arent made in indian so it doesnt matter.look at the inside of the doors and it tells you their from the UK

  • @jeep4jeep LOL ....britts don't have money anymore......so TATA owned it...

  • @DanUK1984 Hahahaha, well said :) These idiots will complain if the music is anything but Dizzy Rascal or Eminem. Nice Rangie, Excellent video mate :)

  • After seeing this montage, I was so impressed I went out and bought a P38 Xreg for a steal!

    Cheers Max

  • one of the things which killed those was reliability. even still ive got a new shape one. have u had any troubles with that beauty?

  • @mitchrox7

    They are only as reliable as the people that own and maintain them.

    I never had a day's problem with it. I have a new shape now, being high mileage it's had a few problems, but most caused by poor maintenance by previous owners. The P38 is a "Better" car than the L322, but the new one looks so good.

  • defender rules

  • nah like maybe umm country or something to go with the country driving lol..good vid tho

  • not good music choice lmao

  • I think you missed the point. Perhaps it should have had some black music to go with it? What do the drug dealers listen to these days? Oh no that's rigt, this is a propper Range Rover.

  • @DanUK1984 that was racist nice truck

  • @spencerleeb How so? Or have you missed the point entirely?

  • @DanUK1984 by stating all black people listen to "black music" and are drug dealers

  • @spencerleeb Really? Funny I've just re-read what I posted and in no place did I say "all black people listen to "black music" and are drug dealers"

    I suggest you go troll someone elses posts.

  • NICE!:)

  • Dont get stuck in deep water....speaking from experience,its not good!!..lol

    The BECM under drivers seat,,,,It dont like it !!!

    check my video out !

  • my dad owns a '96 really nice man, 4.6 hse.

    liked the video the music not so much!!!

  • who cares dumbass..........

  • fucking smartass.

  • Range Rovers are my favourite cars,

    they are big, strong, nice to play with, good off roaders.

    And they're really really luxury cars, amazing.

  • aaaannnnd your point is........

  • Shocking music!!

  • always had fun in my old range rover

  • that would be manual wouldn't it

  • well i did the same terrain with ma 2000 rr blew up ma front right airbag.but its all good they are tough machines

  • can the car work with exsauhst inside the waster or water goes in engine??

  • if the exhaust pipe is under water but the car is still on water won't go in. however if the water is actually up to the engine or up to the exhaust and the car is off then you can get water in the engine

  • @javaleira since exhaust is a constant flow, water doesn't go in. Like let's say you got a cup of water and a straw and you put the straw in the water and blew air into the straw, water doesn't come up through the straw does it? No so that answers your question BUT water can get into the engine if water gets to the intake.

  • Hey at 2:00 your horn goes off when you hit a bump - my '99 HSE does the same, did you find out what was wrong with it or did you not bother? I'd be pleased to know how you fixed it if you did!

    Cheers.

  • It was my hand hitting the horn as i grabbed the steering wheel...

  • @Padi12345 You will find that the springs behind the horn cover on your orienteering wheel have gone slightly soft. Unless of course the ground pin is loose and grounding itself when there are bumps.

  • cooler Wagen , bald sind wir DABEI mit 4,6 HSE

  • OK, where are those low flying Mosquitos?  Long live the 633 Squadron!

  • yeah i have a question im 17 and im about to buy this 1996 range rover hse for 2559 with 12100 miles on it with no body damge and it runs great. im wondering if this is a good buy or not? let me know

  • do you wat to use it for off roading or a normal car?

  • 12100 miles :o do you mean 121000?

  • Had a 2000 dhse for a while nice car but useless for towing . Kept getting hot ,apparently a common problem with the uk spec diesels

  • are any of them using there airbag suspension because they look like there not using there rovers to the potential

  • Yes it has air suspension, whilst wading, and most of the off road stuff it was in High Mode.

  • to get technical, the first land rover was a " rover " center steer. land rover is the OFFICIAL name, check sollihul. theyll tell you. and to get super technical, tata motors india now owns land rover/jaguar, so to clear things up, land rover is still the official company name. not range rover, not rover, LAND ROVER. facts, there amazing. btw im a land rover tech. n e questions please feel free to message me.

  • wtf is with the music hahah

  • this make me never want to take a range rover off road. you had trouble with a puddle and some speed bump sized dirt mounds, then scaled a gentle slope and bottomed out on a pothole! CRAZY MAN!!!

  • I don't recall seeing it having any trouble. If you're saying that its capabilities weren't fully tested in this video, I'd have to agree.

  • Great to see a P38 offroad. I use mine all the time, and just had a 12,000lb winch put on it. I'll have to get some videos to share!!

  • very very very nice video. i have the same problem with icy grass

  • Range Rovers totally rock! I want one. :)

    I saw either a Range Rover or a Land Rover and it had wipers on the headlights. why would you need wipers on the lights?!

  • You know next to nothing about Land Rovers. There is no single car called a Land Rover except for the first ones back in the '60s era.

  • are you honestly trying to tell me what I do or don't know?? you don't even know me, so don't be so judgemental.

  • btw, I meant Discovery... and I know it was a Range Rover now, so whatever.

  • wipe off any dirt, mud etc that gets on them

  • wow your telling people that they dont know anything about land rovers the first landrover that came out was in 1948 so it wasent in the 60 era

  • Your a clown. You see Land Rover written on the front of all Land Rovers. That Means they are "Land Rover" Wether there Range Rover, Discovery, Freelander or Defender. 90% of the population when they hear Land Rover think Discovery. Thats because most people have a bit of forward thought and common sence..

  • thats the old range rover

  • I bought a Range Rover 97 a month ago and did not even know how to use the cleaner front headlights, someone can help me and tell me which button is it? thanks

  • dude it comes on with the main windscreen wash,as you wash the main screen the front ones copy,but sometimes the pipe comes loose (a common fault) the way to get round it is use a cable tie

  • we had one like that before but it had used up 5 v8 engine blocks and traction control, cruisecontrol, airco, abs and a lot of other stuff didnt work after 2 years

  • nice. but looks like you dont have much tread on the tires...am i right?

  • Great Truck! And Great Music! "O Fortuna" (1st and Last Movement of Carmina Burana) by Carl Orf is playing at 3:27.

  • what is the song called at 3:27

  • How big fuel consumption does this car have for 100km? I'm looking for a bigger car, well kinda like this one, but not a new one you know, maybe some advices?

  • I LOVE RANGE ROVERS!!

  • you got great taste in SUV's

  • it is boring i want to see old fashion who gives a shit about there car and takes it to the extreme mud rocks water and dirt aint nottin

  • Yeah it's fucking boring. The use of the word 'montage' in the title is too gay for my liking.

  • At 4:17 - 4:25 hasn't that Volkswagon Polo just come across that stream? lol.

    You can see that it has just the moment before the camera zooms into the depth gauge.

  • no mate :) The Ford took one look at the rangie in the water and thought "fuck that, I'm backing out" :p

  • ..oh the polo! darn i should have waited to see more of the clip. Ye that was suspect :p

  • no offense, but this is like the most boring video i have ever seen

  • thats why land rovers suck you have to go 2 mph through everything

  • YOUR CRAZY

  • the vehicle Badly needed tyres with more teeth.

    Then it could have performed way better...

  • What great vehicle.

    Fantastic blend of luxury and off roading. Something we Brits can be proud of.

  • Actually Tata,an Indian automaker, just bought both Land Rover and Jaguar so they really arent British anymore.

  • Well Im indian and I noe very well that even thought its bought by India it still is made by the british. Ah who cares its a good company anyways.

  • ... and before Tata, Ford owned them (and before Ford BMW owned Land Rover) so they weren't even British then! :)

  • in the middle you see also crossing the river a very small car...

  • You don't actually see the smaller car in the water.

    It may be turning around a driving away.

  • I had 1991 RR, my next car was 1996 5.2 RR limited, and I am drving a 2006 Westminister Supercharged RR

  • he is the king

  • beats all the american 'wonna be' off road 4x4s!

  • I LOVE my rangie!!!

  • droven RR many years...great car in its time.

  • Are these reliable, I was considering buying a '98 hse 4.6, but I'm not looking for something that's going to be in the shop all the time, my other choice is a 2001 Denali.

  • No. they are the best vehicle I've ever driven, but they are not toyotas. They have many "little" anoying problems, including air suspension and electronics as the most popular. If u are not mechanically inclined, I advise not to buy one. If you want reliability buy a toyota, or a honda, they might not be a pleasure and a beauty to drive like range rover, but they don't take other care than put gas and change oil, literally.

  • Land Cruiser might be worth a look. They can be pricy though, they have good resale values.

  • if you looking for a fullsize the 2007 and up ford expedition isn't a bad choise its got toyota like relibliite and a ford like price,truck like towing and car like a ride though they do guzzle alot of gas

  • you know how to drive your shit bro, looks hard!

  • the music at the start just adds class to this presentation!

  • i would have to differ on the best rover coment,my 95'county lwb is the last of the "round eye ROVERS''and with the locking diff out back, i too have never been let down. I go to work on the freeway @80mph and not even a bit of vibration at the wheel with 33 wrangler's and an ome 4" lift. i love all rover's but we know we would trade for an ole series or a 130 defender any day! i'm quite surprised no "jeep" comment''s all that brake work and no ss line's?? a bit of vibration
  • Very tasteful

  • I have an 2004 4.4 Range. Check ouy some of my videos.

  • Anyone know if a 1996 2.5 DT is any good?Im thinking of buying it because I cant afford to run a petrol one.

  • Well the actual range rover is the best car money can buy its very comfortable its 1 of the best offroad and its british. If your looking for a good 90's rr I would reccomend the 2.5dt ofcourse your not going to go fast but to be honest we dont need to go fast at most of the times in this world the V8 is simply too thirsty also in the 1998-2001 that car had GPS. thanks.

  • range rovers rock!!!!!!

  • ive had a 2003 4.4 petrol and then after n 2005had a range rover sport 4.2 supercharged and now i have the tdv8 3.6 even know it is a lot slower than the range rover sport and the 4.4 there isnt a lot in it but this one is a much better car and fuel economi is so great on this one but unfortunatly the new convertible jag has caught my eye so my baby has to go.

  • NEW LAND ROVER IS BEST !

  • I have just sold my 2006 land rover disco TDV6 which wasnt anywhere near as good as my old 2000 P38 4.6HSE range Rover which is far better off road. I wont ever sell my P38 its superb. one tip dont drive backwards in deep water as this can seriously bugger up the baffles in your exhaust and cats...drive forward and keep behind your bow wave.I have to do alot of off roading as part of my job across fields and green lanes. P38 has never let me down from new.

  • This was the best Model of the Range Rover ever even the new ones are not this great.

  • Awesome range rover, I have a 1999 Vogue SE model. Looks like you mangled your side steps a bit though! = \

  • Just wondered how old are you? You look young! Some friendly advice...dont brake on slippery downhill slopes,let the engine do the breaking for you as its more controlable even if you have ABS fitted.

  • That was in Low Range 1st, but regardless of what gear ur in, hdc or whether u have ur foot on the brake that hill was too steep....

    But yes I do know how to use engine braking :)

  • New Mill ford if i am not mistaken. I took mums mini through there 30 years ago

  • Sad. Very, very sad.

  • i think this is a flood rover.

    those tires are grate.

    shit shit shit shit!

  • nice video.

    im looking at getting the 2.5 Td one of these..can anyone tell me any general faults i should look for while inspecting these 4wds??

    any help would be great thanks

  • on closer inspection i was wrong..im looking at a model like this although the roof goes up a little bit toward the back..and help would still be appreciated

  • How can you not know that you're buying a Discovery!?

  • yeah fair call...its ok i felt like an idiot after posting that..and im noty looking at buying one anytime soon, just interested in them

  • thats a discovery, your buying one when you dont know what it is?

  • forget the turbo diesel too slow, go for the 4.6HSE its awesome, if you dont mind the petrol I average about 17-19mpg on day to day, just city driving stop start stuff about 13mpg, but generally 17mpg from my 2000 P38 4.6HSE. I have uprated my brakes to grooved and drilled and carbon composite brakes and it stops fantstic. you can get some reliable chips for Turbo diesel boosts power significantly and improves mpg. most TD have amuch lower spec so go for all the toys.

  • Dear Video Poster,

    Thank you very much for not posting a video with blarring pyseudo-emo or generic rap music that I have to quickly turn the volume down on to save my hearing. Thanks for having some degree of class.

    Rgs, JasnoGT

  • nice RR... but if you're really into offroading... consider gettin some proper tires...

  • Thanks for the tip! Not like I've never been off roading before lol!

    Ever done over 100 mph on mud tires? You wouldn't want to, and neither do I.

    Did I get stuck? No, so I don't need mud's

  • Your welcome!

    Nope, wouldn't want to!

    Did you do serious stuff? No, so indeed MTs werent necessary... but on the other hand, consider ATs... All Terrain - which are a blend between MTs and Road tires... or consider having two sets of wheels... and doing mud mud mud :) I'm sure you'll love it... RRs are pretty darn capable ;)

  • The music sounds like something out of Monty Python. I can just hear Clease's voice over - "and now will shall take the Range Rover to pick up a very large shrubbery!"

  • hahaha, really nice comment!!!

  • Someone can tell me the songs please

  • I am pretty sure the three tunes are

    633 Squadron

    Carmina Burana

    Air on a G String

    Then at the end it's the first one again.

  • thank you marcel911 =)

  • great muscic better than stupid punk rock

  • Land Rovers are the best

  • Amazing car! If only it was reliable...

  • think of it like a pet u have to care for it take it to the vet regurlaly lol

  • I've not had any problems not to be expected with a 10 year old car to be honest. Obviously at that age things will start to fail, but the trick is to catch things in time before they are a supprise!

  • oooh...of course! I've heard lots about the infamous failing parts, but this video really gives me hope that Land Rovers can be reliable!

  • I've had two land rover discovery's and although my latest one's front diff blew apart on me at 105 MPH I still consider it one of the best cars I've ever owned. I've also owned a Vauxhall Frontera Sport Trans-Globe edition, nice ride, but otherwise didn't feel like it was half as strong body wise to take off road

  • agreed

  • great range man it"S so hard

  • wow! man that was very nice! amazing job.. great car and music!

  • With some decent tyres, you'd have done a lot better in the mud. I had a 2000 4.6 HSE- loved it but the darn thing broke down every week!

  • I started with Michelin Alpin's and they were really good, then I bought some Wranglers and they suck so bad.

    Getting Alpin's again soon.

    I wasnt exactly thrashing it, and tbh I enjoy "trying" to get stuck. It rarely happens, just needs more throttle generally and out she pops!

  • Bitch throw some dez on.

  • what an SUV

  • hyvä rengas pesu
