Well, the engine either get's totaled because of timing chain (which is rattling against the timing chain housing) rips aparts, or the engine throws a rod, or other stuff. The engine needs to be extracted, completely redone (flushing all sealant junk out, new gaskets, refinished heads, new chain, overhauled VANOS units, new Crankcase ventilation. In Parts around 2k or more, in labour about 2-3 depending how bad the engine is. Better solution: Buy a used good engine, replace there the chain and redo the vanos units, redo every seal, crankcase ventilation and stuff and you get a nice reliable engine (till the next timing chain need replacing or the automatic transmission fails).

In fact most of their employees don't own any stock in the company. They're merely employees working for hourly wages. So don't talk out of your ass! If the mechanic at the dealership gets paid $30/hour that only shows that the dealer makes $100/hour. They don't lose money, no repair garage ever loses money. So to say the parts prices are high because they pay massive taxes and because the employees take a big piece of the cake is just stupid.

Getting you across the toughest terrain imaginable. It just didn't seem to care, short of the Defender, LR became street jewelry with no substance. With that said, I love my Disco, and the Rover V8 is pretty stout once you upgrade a few things. The trans case, axles, rest of the drive train is a tank. The electronics are finicky but most of the time it's due to negligence. Sam, thanks for this dude, love this saga and genuinely look forward to future updates on the RR.

Replace the head gaskets and have them blow again after two days because the heads or deck is/are warped, then after week it throws a rod because the bearings are toast from running with severely contaminated oil. An engine like this is not worth putting effort in. If the leak wasn't as bad you could fix it, but a leak this severe usually means complete rebuild because all other parts of the engine are in bad condition as well.

The fuse 18 issue is your steering column. It really needs to be replaced however there is no aftermarket solution or upgraded column so your choices are a used one that will fail again or a new one from the dealer which is about $5 grand. Astral Auto Repair has a video on how to disable this steering column lock on the 03 - 05 Range Rover for free which simply bypasses the key lock feature. Land Rover was never able to get it right despite redesigning the column every .2-3 years. Finally, in '09 they got rid of it entirely as they realized no other cars have them and it would be just fine. The video is by Astral Auto Repair.

Use quart of liquid glass aka water glass with only water added in the cooling system, and leave the heater off when warming it up enough for it to work, you want all the heat in the engine during the sealing. All these problems reminds me of an engine that had an crankcase explosion due to fuel fumes built up in it and no draft or vacuum cycling it out and fresh air into the crack case. The starter may only need a contact kit. I used to turn the contact 180 degree out so the contact plate that the bendix which engages the flywheel and then hits the contact, usually burning it into a half moon look, it would work again, till I could buy and install the contact kit.

I had this exact V8 4.4 BMW M62 "TU" engine in my old 1999 E39 540i - It was a complete NIGHTMARE !! and used to eat MAF's and Coil packs all the time - Whilst the one I had never had head gasket problems it felt VERY underpowered for the claimed 286 brake horse power BMW said it was - I believe that this engine was also used in the BMW E38 740i (Very late model 1999-2001) the BMW X5 4.4i Some Morgan 8 cars and some Bentley cars as well as some of the 2003 - 2004 Range Rovers and Discovery models - Right, cheapest option to repair this Range Rover would be to find a BMW breaker and just buy a good used second hand BMW 4.4 M62 TU V8 engine, swap sumps with the bad engine (as the Range Rover sumps are aluminium and different to the pressed steel sumps BMW used for this version of engine they installed in their own cars) , Once the replacement engine is all fitted, plumbed and wired up it should then work again and you would then have a good Range Rover that doesn't piss oil and lose tones of power up hills !

@@TonytheYorkie If you expected ANY leak stop to fix a water pump you fundamentally do not understand how any of these products work, nor how the water pump works. Not sure why you would use "quite a few" on a leak that it is meant to fix. the low cost 'brown sludge' ones are trash, and in any case are intended to be flushed out after the leak is sealed. the good ones like the one sam used here only need one bottle on any leak they will be able to fik, and if it doesn't stop the leak they send your money back if you actually get the thing fixed properly at a shop. If you need more than one bottle of a quality leak stop, you have problems bigger than it is designed to fix. If you have a leaky water pump, the seals are shot and no amount of any product will fix them as a spinning shaft will remove any new seal formed by the leak stop. get a new pump next time.

Great video, but you drive me crazy with how you pour fluids from the bottles. You're spilling them everywhere! Here's some tips: 1) pour small bottles slowly. Allow an air gap at the mouth of the bottle for air to return into the bottle. 2) larger bottles for oil, coolant, etc., mostly gallon size or 5-quart size oil bottles, are designed to pour from the side. Regardless, pour gently so you don't lose that air gap at the mouth of the bottle. 3) quart bottles are designed to pour with the mouth up, closest to your hand. This is to allow for that important air gap so the oil does not slosh out as you pour it. In all cases, most bottles have little picture illustrations near the opening of the bottle to show how it is to be poured. You'll find that if you maintain that air exchange, the fluid will pour much faster and you have better control over how it aims for the filling ports. Additionally, you will rarely need a funnel ever again, if you learn to pour as I've described.

Pre-mortem sequence of events: Some part of the (FAR TOO MUCH) plastic cooling system began to fail - likely the pressurized cap.

L.O.L. Really ???? How old are you, and how much experience with engines do you have ?? That's the same bullshit I was told when I suspected a blown head gasket or head from no less than THREE alleged, trained mechanics. L.O.L. First it was the radiators fault, then it was the thermatic fan, then it was the LPG injection, of course each one cost me big dollars to discover there was NOTHING WRONG WITH THEM, but to satisfy the ALLEGED mechanics, I had them checked out. The LPG injections system was the last straw, I told him to stop stuffing around and pull the bloody head off. I get phone call to come down and check out the head. LO and Behold, three bloody cracks in the head, so my not trained mechanical eye/experience was dead right from the get go. I discovered there are mechanics and there are people who claim to be mechanics. I gave the go ahead to replace the head with a new one specifying it must be a NISSAN head, I don't care the cost. A week later I get the car back, going great, go away for a few days and notice the temp gauge rising on the way home. Take car back, mechanic can't work out what the problem is, suggests the radiator is past it's use by date, despite the fact it was just cleaned out and given the all clear. Replaced radiator with larger radiator. Went away again and on arrival at destination, noticed car sounded like a V8. Sound got worse over duration, had to nurse car back home,. back to mechanic, head has dropped a valve I tell him. No way, he sez, the valve clearance has changed he sez. I sez, how can that happen when there are discs for valve clearance, the gap is impossible to change. He insists valve clearance changed and new discs will need to be ordered. Disc arrive and he cant fit them, no space. I tell him an old bush mechanic had looked at the car on my way home, he told me a valve or even two had dropped and were nor closing thus the sound. He also said it could be verified by placing hand on exhaust pipe and if hand is SUCKED in, clearly demonstrates valves are still open on downward stroke. Head had to come off, found no less than TWO valve guides had dropped, thereby preventing valves from closing. Very lucky pistons did not connect with valves. Sent head off to specialist to look at, who came up with the bright idea the head had been overheated. No shit sherlock. Therefore warranty void. After much heated discussion, turns out replacement head was not NISSAN head as I stipulated, but cheap Chinese knock off. I had searched the Net before hand, and was aware there was an issue with these heads of over heating due to inappropiate casting around the valves, and here was the evidence right in front of my eyes. I called him a bloody ignorant idiot and he could sue me for the money I owed him for his stuff up. Sold the car and never went back. But the whole experience leaves me cold. I went thru FIVE mechanics and they all had the same attitude, thought they knew it all, when they didn't know shit from shenola.
