This is Will's X5, and it's been abandoned under a tree for the past 3 years. Since starting this new channel, Will hasn't had time to fix the car yet. So today I'm going to steal it, bring him to the unit, surprise him with the car, and force him to fix it. What could possibly go wrong?
A huge thank you to 👇

Genuinely one of the realist youtube car revivals I've seen. Sometimes it's best to just start from fresh. There's a convertible in my life that's got a ruined interior, a power top that doesn't move, and a heater core to replace and while these are all things to be sorted on any classic. All at once is as much as finding one with any singular problem.

[@zeroforty88]

A little tip for the m57 owners if anyone wants it. I have noticed that most of the times there is no need to drill the threads out or remove the head if the plug snaps. If it feels that the plug is already cracked or snapped, just crank the plug it till it pops in half. Then soak the broken part in the head with coca-cola and then in transmission fluid/penetrating oil. The head is aluminum and the coke will do its magic and it will free it up. Then just pop it off with a bolt extractor set (a good one) and bobs your uncle. Done that a few times with these m57 engines. Best is to do the glow plug swap when the engine is functional. First soak the plugs in penetrating oil for a week or two. Then get the engine hot and try to remove them. Always start from the farthest from the front of the car so they stay the hottest and most likely to come out without snapping. Its just easier to work with the ones closer to the front of the car rather than the ones deep in the engine bay in the case of snapping one. The key is low power and slow, rock the plugs back and forth if it moves even a little bit. Sometimes they all come out nice, and sometimes this happens anyway. And remember to replace the glow-plug relay when you swap the plugs.

[@henrykravitz468]

I thought it was a spider when Will was in the Car 🤣Loved the fact you called Ethan for the oil check. All squirrels, should now be known as "50 cal squirrel" 😂😂 Loving the content.

[@filipb100]

I doubt the glowplugs prevented it from starting. I ran one with faultcodes on all 6 for a year. It wasnt not happy in the in winter at -30c but it started. In the summer i did not even notice it, hence why I forgot to fix it before winter.

[@_TwoBobBit]

It was a bit of a dog, but you gave it a good go. Just a little thought I had - you possibly could have left the one knackered glow plug in and replaced the rest. I have a TD5 LR Defender - 5 cylinder diesel, and by design it only has glow plugs in 4 cylinders. That's enough to get it running even in the depths of winter, and cylinder 5 soon catches up.

Limp mode issue is more than likely the gear selection switch mounted on the side of the gearbox. Get a genuine part for around £300 (there are cheap parts which only last about a year) it’s a 5 minute fix if your dashboard doesn’t show the gears and shows the fault “trans failsafe”
