1986 Range Rover; Will it start? - Edd China's Workshop Diaries

'Will it start?' is THE question we have all been wondering about since John's garden find 1986 Range Rover was pushed into the workshop! Having already installed some custom made fuel lines and a new fuel filter, this week's job is to install a new fuel pump and sender into our freshly de-rusted fuel tank and then get that tank re-attached to the car. Surely once the fuel is flowing the engine will start?... Or will we find something else that needs to be fixed first?...
Edd China's Workshop Diaries 16: Will it start? (Rusty fuel tank fix (Part 3) on our 1986 'Garden Find' Range Rover)

What I like about Edd's show is that he shows very truly the struggle of the small little battles that every home mechanic goes through especially on those "small and quick" jobs. Always seems to be one stumbling block or another, and never goes exactly according to the manual.

Only discovered Edd's chanel today having stop watching Wheeler Dealer on Discovery Channel since he left. Been binging whole of today on the Rover series thus far.
