Recommend 👍

[@gavindavis2868]

Does the software only.last for 1year with these? Bought one last year and now looking another £50 to reactivate it.

[@red9zero]

Get your detailing chap to take the wrap off and refurb the wheels to silver. Put the lettering on the bonnet back on properly too.

[@tabzsam95]

Unwrap it Black with silver alloys 🔥

[@farmer6861]

Nice motor Arthur! 😊 When you run the VIN through the JLR portal it states that the last recorded service was at a LR Main Dealer in the West Midlands on the 04/04/18 on 64477 miles. Another interesting fact , is that it was registered Causeway Grey in 2013 so wrap possibly done by the Main Dealership and the original paintwork is perfect. The only other recorded service was at 20/07/2016 on 46985 miles. Might explain a lot mechanically wise!

[@ShiftingMetal]

Great find!

[@MaxJames597yompfitness]

the LR time channel he had restricted mode on his - it was insulation plastic/sound foam in the bonnet sides down covering air in take

[@MrRedfreds]

Yeah I saw that one, easy fix.

[@tonypacke6954]

Call me an arsehole but if Causeway fitted a new Turbo and you still have error codes relating to that area of the engine, don't you think they would have communicated that fact to you?

[@greenzero3389]

Did you find any service history? Have you checked online? you might strike lucky. Fot the 4.4 turbo to go at 110k suggests lack of oil changes, and maintenance. If you're going to retail it, taking the wrap off will attract a much better type of customer (Those who want a 4.4 with a towbar). It depends how much work is needed to get the interior back up to scratch. You need a new spare tyre and the parcel shelf pins look broken (common). These costs soon add up.

[@alexworz4135]

I love how optimistic you are. I always jump straight to the worst scenario

[@markwells8464]

It was a Hurricane not a spit! Take the wrap off!!

[@MrRedfreds]

Probably after those 2 focher wolves 😅😂

[@michaelthompson6885]

Woah! revving up a range rover with an oil warning light on is bravery above and beyond Joe.

[@mark_just_mark]

Back to Black...!!! 😎

[@jennyetherington3326]

Wrap off definitely Joe , Satin finish the alloys ,full detail and sort the rusty tow bar. Hope you get the engine sorted cheap and you have a cruiser for collecting cars yourself.

[@MARTINA-gc3tq]

Is that the twin turbo engine? Check the secondary air intake for sound deadening material obstruction.

[@stevoone342]

I own a 2017 l405 sdv8 4.4 done 66k servicing it is critical and earlyer than the manufacturer says I do mine every 9k. I personally would walk away from one with no service history. Don’t skimp on the parts quality ones only… personally so far touch wood she has been very well behaved even been to France with her the other week. I’ve had 3 full fat range rovers and I have been lucky only one issue and I suspected it. But a firmly believe a good one well looked after is pretty reliable, but if neglected and serviceing hasn’t been done or correctly it’s going to be a money pit till you sort all the issues out. Also check your air inlets in the bonet, that the sound bags haven’t slid over, if they have push them back down to wear there ment to be.

[@liamegan4303]

Hello from Ireland again, Joe. That Top-Don is the business. James just showed it to us earlier Joe. Lol. This Range Rover is exactly what you should be Buying. You had the Balls to buy these when everyone was Scared and shitless to touch. Them, lol. They all have High Mileage in that Year. That Wrap isn't the worst I have seen bro. Great Buy I think. 🙏🙏👌👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@roystonvehicles9129]

Absolutely first thing to have done was check oil pressure, you can get kits, most likely is that low pressure has knocked the turbo out, if so new one won't last 5 minutes, turbo needs loads of oil as it spins so high. Tbh once you saw the oil light on you should have given it a miss, oil pressure switch comes on about say 8 psi so if it's on you've got virtually no pressure, unless sender is faulty.

[@duncan-ellison]

Yes exactly. A glowing oil pressure light is usually very quickly catastrophic. As we both know, it's lack of regular oil changes that kills most engines starting with the chains. I don't buy anything that hasn't had regular oil changes especially diesels. I've had my '97 Shogun 2800 tow car for 20 years now and it's never had a spanner on the engine apart from glow plugs and a water pump. It gets 10 w 40 oil and filter changes every 3000 miles without fail and sprayed with waste oil/ Waxoyl every year.

[@roystonvehicles9129]

@@duncan-ellison yes totally right bud, Joe's a great guy but he doesn't seem to grasp the basics of mechanics, no oil pressure isn't just a mil light, it means the engines had it, bet whoever put it thru G3 is having a good laugh, having 12k in it, then say 4k on another engine,that's 16k for a wrapped RR with no history, all I can say is good luck.

[@CraigK80]

Is there ever a case of ‘good’ gonorrhoea? 🤔 😂 great vid mate as always 🇬🇧❤️

[@Joe-ug3dd]

Remove the wrap and do the wheels silver 👌

[@davidroberts3914]

I'd defo take that horrible wrap off and paint the wheels silver, its a top of the range car and needs to look like one, great content again. I'm a Jlr fan so ive been enjoying your recent purchases

[@Nicknofish]

Hi joe. You are a brave chap. Love the optimism. Cheers.

[@_marcus_does_]

Check the insulation in the bonnet. It's blocks the sir intake and makes them go into restriction performance

[@phillipclaridge3112]

I like the look colourwise but I really do not like the idea of the wrap. If it was mine - and it never would be - I would have to remove the wrap. You do really do take some risks but I suppose that is why I enjoy your content!

[@duncanpoundcake]

You walked into that one, Joe. RRs are as reliable as Boris Johnson's wedding vows. Every time I call the AA out I always ask, which car do you get called out to the most? Without fail, every single time for years they say: Range Rovers. Great looking cars, well equipped, powerful but ultimately they will let you down...a lot.

[@martinblum9075]

The large spacing of the Range Rover lettering on the bonnet should really be corrected. I believe powerfuluk does templates 👍🏼

[@Jmcg1959]

Silver wheels will brighten the car up.😀

[@toms4097]

He who dares he who dares…….. platinum (satin) wheels would look👌🏻 Keep the wrap on because it was wrapped for a reason & if not it’s just protecting your paint.

[@wezzla]

If you decide to keep the car, it might be worth to invest in a GAP IID diagnostic tool. Not cheap, but the only one that works with JLR. Like other have mentioned, check the air ducts in the bonnet. The plastic insulation can move around and choke the air intake while driving, when you check it it might not be visible. Love from a fellow FFRR driver in Prague (also got mine from a dealer auction)

[@wezzla]

Remove the wrap ASAP. Leave the black wheels for football players.

[@Rangeroverden44]

If it is causeway grey, then it's the same colour as mine and it shines up beautifully.

[@michaelthompson6885]

110k is not much for that engine so long as its had an oil change or three.

[@timredford6608]

Pesonly I wouldn't have touched that car with a barge pole total money pit. Let's hope there's a bright outcome, as always looking forward to your future videos.All the very best Tim 👌

[@ianluddington9275]

How did you clean the sticky buttons, tried allsorts on my Jag and still can't get them done

[@alundavies5171]

id get the wrap off and keep it if it suits your needs !

[@kenpassey9270]

I'd love to see the original paintwork.. but like you say.. is it worth the grief.. fix the engine.. and see what happens 😊

[@jonathangiles4854]

I quite like the grey wrap tbh

[@fivedotsdave9723]

The new battery will need to be coded, which will help get rid of the fault reading

[@ShiftingMetal]

Yes! I didn't know that the guys had put a new battery in to load it onto the trailer but hadn't coded it!

[@andrewcairns7719]

Old video Joe…. Bless you for selling them🙏

[@rosshampton3483]

had both turbo's done on my RRS as main one went caput, was going into limp at around 2k revs. Turbo bypass valve issue, another £600.hmmmm. But now fine

[@FanaticQuattro]

A cheeky upload on a Tuesday 🎉

[@jimbandit1250sa]

Your a brave man Joe obviously loves a challenge you certainly have it on a RR however with your team and determination you might win, awesome video 🤞🤞😉☺️👌

Joe I think you should keep it and do a few videos on it

[@clairebroughton3244]

Oh Joe I can vouch for Range Rover love affairs lol had 3 lots of expense and heartbreak, but love them ❤

[@davidsewell3745]

Yeah de wrap it Joe to original colour, will look better

[@Neil-f5m]

The 2 most exspensive items in our life is our house and car. So when I went to view and I bought a 2009 clk 200 c/ conv for £2000 with only 47k and full Merc s/history of the seller would have cleaned it up he could have asked at least 3500 for it why do people treat there cars so much differently to there houses ?!!!

[@ChrisPatrick-q6k]

It's a strong smelling onion, whichever way you slice it.

[@ellisjames8517]

This was filmed back in July when you mentioned the MOT?

[@E92jamesy]

Touch up pen on a wrap?! Madness. 😂 Most traders wouldn't touch a wrapped car, let alone people looking to buy a rangey. Most people tend to wrap cars because the paints so bad underneath, cheaper than painting panels.

[@ShiftingMetal]

Maybe. We might find out

[@E92jamesy]

@ShiftingMetal Good watch though Joe 👌

[@garymorris801]

great video the range rover needs attention surprise

[@BRIAN-mr5ue]

Can you carry out a scan on your car even tho EML isn't on ? .Just concerned if I did one then the EML might come on..Any advice?

[@ShiftingMetal]

Yes, absolutely you can. It shouldn't bring the EML on

[@BRIAN-mr5ue]

Thanks for info..Love your videos 👍

[@stevenkerry3101]

i honestly don't know why you buy this shit that would have been a body off to replace the turbo and if only one replaced ill guarantee the other will fail

[@dannycrooks8462]

Take the wrap off

[@daveallen3607]

Lol i bought a mint l322 overfinch last year , warning light after warning light , paid 14k for it and 5 months later got 9k for it , Lovely car 4.4tdv8 But money pit of the century . Buy a toyata landcruiser instead. They are all shite
