Honestly, I'm very much looking forward to all the fabrication work when replacing the rotted out bits under the car. John better help with it though!

[@somerandoonline5852]

The message when john said: "they broke my car" Turns out that at this point John had a confession to make but his addled brain was protecting him from the embarrassing admission that it was in fact him that had broken the Range Rover once upon a time, back when 1986 Range Rovers were valuable, chiefly as the preferred to or the discerning raider; John had modified the switches on the dashboard to disconnect the starter circuit, hence safely rendering the vehicle un-startable should anyone try to steal it. Don't explain why the interior lights are stuck on thought. that took a lot of time to capture :)

[@eddchina]

Stellar effort!

[@ScriciRockz]

Thank you maaan!

[@eekee6034]

Now I have a mental image of someone taking his car in to be MoT'd. A post-it note stuck to the dash has an arrow pointing to a switch in some auxiliary switch panel with an unrelated symbol, and the text, "That's the starter. Don't tell anyone." XD

[@Yvolve]

You can scroll frame by frame with the < and > keys when paused. Makes it a lot easier to find it. J and L are 10 sec back and forward, the arrow keys left and right are 5 seconds. K is pause, F is full screen, C is closed captions, M is mute. 0 restarts the video, 1 through 9 will skip it to a section that is 1/10 of the video length (so 4 takes you to 4/10 of the video). Might be some more hotkeys to be found.

[@peacockealot]

Yeah took me about 5 minutes to get the pause just right 😂

[@DreamingDodo]

I love this long list lol In fact i had the same experience with the german version of the MOT the HU (Hauptuntersuchung / Main examination). I once had an Omega, bought it for 200€ drove it 2 years and wanted a new HU.. ( In germany we got 3 big companies doing the HU. The TÜV, the DEKRA and GTÜ) first i drove to the TÜV and i got list with 30+ problems. So i wanted to test how similar the organisations are and drove to the DEKRA. Again i got a list 30+ problems. NOT ONE was noted by the TÜV, so i got 60 completly different problems .... so i drove to the GTÜ, a few days later i was handed the report .... it had TWO words! "dispose car" So i said to the owner of the workshop "Keep the car and i take the VW Yetta over there for free" He agreed and i got another used car

[@alexandremesquita7656]

[@hazzalandy]

@@kay110 I sort of understand it with the automatic wheel shaker plates that aren't very kind to Kingpins etc, and a lack of understanding from some younger testers that some vehicles never had a handbrake that applied in 3 clicks or less than 1" of play in the steering, but mostly it's silly

[@darthweeble7817]

Not really. You still have a legal obligation to make sure that your vehicle is road-worthy. An MOT is just a certificate to say that on that day the car met the requirements of the test. Cars can (and do) pass MOTs that are literal death traps because the failure points are hidden under plastic panels...!

[@twocvbloke]

I like the fact that there's still single-frame messages hidden in the video, such as "the admission" John forgot about... :P

it refers to near the kerb, or off the kerb. in UK we drive on the left, so when sitting in the drivers seat nearside is to the left, offside to the right, simples as they say!

Geoffrey Croker did a great video on how to do it twice on his Land Rover, might be some good inspiration. ;) Some great acting from John as well, usually people are so nervous on camera, he was so natural!

I am surprised Edd took the risk of driving it on the road bearing in mind the condition of the front steering and brakes, anyone going under that vehicle would have seen the oil contamination on the discs and said **** that and would have refused to drive it. Throw in the corrosion near the seat belt mounting points and a moderate collision where the brakes failed could have seen you ejected via the windcsreen in the seat! I know Edd built a cheap ejector seat for TG but that would have been even more cheaper and far more lethal.

That RR is not even in bad shape, I'd definately fix it. I have a 1990 3 door and a 1991 5 door discoverys on my project list for next summer, that both are way more rotten away, and I will be fixing them.

You can't put a price on memories when you can afford to fix it to a safe state for the driver, occupants and all others on the road. I can certainly understand that a moderate restoration that keeps the character of the car and the memories, dents, scratches and all is in order. better than leaving it to rot out any further where it can no longer be brought back to life.

Don't do it Edd. It was fun for a while, but it will just be frustrating for everyone to basically patch up a wreck knowing the end result will not be much. I don't know if I'll be watching. Instead buy something really interesting like an old British sports car or classic (get your favorite (Rolls?)), and do your magic on that. It will be much more interesting, and everyone will look forward to the end result. That can go on for years, and people will still be interested I'm sure.

The list of failures was nothing drastically not viable. Some MOT testers do get carried away, probably thought VOSA was watching him LOL. Its a Range Rover, built like a mechano set. You can undo all the car and put it back together.. rolling chassis is the main heart and structure. Easily done and obviously at a cost but, with time it could have been brought back to life.

[@clarkwilson3505]

So the question is - do you buy a new galvanised chassis frame and expend a fraction of the heart ache by unbolting everything and re-bolting it across from the donor to recipient or do you buy 500 feet of angle iron and a bunch of plate, half a dozen tanks of Argoshield and 30 rolls of Tig wire to try and weld to a crumbling frame with no good metal to attach to... I'd think about the latter, but common sense (the wife) would tell me to do the former and after all the shouting was over, it would be the least stressful choice. Bar the corrosion by the way, let me tell you that the list of failures (I'm surprised the MoT station didn't charge you for all the paper, Edd) are about the normal for any used RR you buy and take into the shop for repairs... Bet the electrics turn out to be the biggest pain in the rear end...

[@bendude6748]

I wasn't sure at first but I've got to say I am enjoying the content coming out of this channel, very well done!

Pah. That's nothing. I had a Rover Metro with a list far longer than that. Apparently it had knackered suspension, brakes, steering, fuel tank and more rust than steel. It also failed emissions in a big way. I still sold it on though. For spares, obviously, although I really should have scrapped it.

[@alfonsotatto8365]

My opinion is, if John loves the car, then fix the car. My only concern is about the rust which will be an absolute nightmare to fix. I'm afraid you could arrive to the point you'll have to restore the chassis. A good compromise would also be to fix it just in a way it can be used for offroading, without necessairly passing the omologation tests.

I do feel sorry for the Range Rover but it is far cheaper to get a second hand Range Rover in relatively good condition and similar variant/year. You can fix/restore it with relatively little problems and use the old one eventually for spare parts. By the way those tyres were the retreaded type and actually was excellent for off road trips. I know because I had those for years, the only thing was that they didn't last much if it was used on roads as the rubber was a bit too soft...
