Bonnet (hood) popping up, yep. In 1970 I started work at a new garage one Monday morning and all went well until Wednesday. I had done a tune up on a nice little red MGA and took it for a test drive. With no warning the bonnet flew up and slammed against the top of the windscreen. Didn't break the glass but the bonnet was bent back and distorted. I thought I would be told to pack up my tools and look for another job but fortunately the boss had a sense of humour and all ended well. The panel shop down the road fixed it all up.

[@waynespyker5731]

Had the same happen to my Metropolitan convertible on an October night in 1962. On the way home from the Pennsylvania required biannual inspect (+ lube/oil change) after hitting a pot hole the night got dark ahead! Fortunately I was in a small village only going 35 mph. Suddenly I couldn't see the headlights on the road! I thought I had been Halloween pranked! But was able to stop safely, the hood was bent, the windshield and top were ok, I tied the hood down with a chain tightener to continue by sticking my head out the window. The bent crease exhibited imprints of the fabric weave for the local body to repair the hood the next week. Years later I bought a Petty blue Levi Gremlin X from that AMX dealer.

[@Veikra]

@@REDZ28won I have experience on both side of the coin. FOr instance the oil filter location on crown victoria and town car is crap, but it makes sense when you think the same engine goes in pickup trucks which sold a lot more units. In another case, the 4.2L audi v8, the change was possible and made sense. They changed the lenght of one starter bolt so you can more easily replace the starter starting in 2007 and up. It used to require dropping the subframe. Theres a lot of constraint to build a engine, multiple vehicule use, thin time allowance and marketing, reusing off the shelf components and after sale services are often in the way. Then you have EPA forcing you to jam catalytic converters right agaisnt the engine preventing o2 sensor replacement or blocking other components. We'd all like a easily serviceable device or car, but everywhere the gov makes sale tax theres an incentive to make everything more costly. And on that point, I agree with you. Lets just try to see the bigger picture.

It seemed that trend started 20 years ago. i remember my father asking me to help to change a burned out headlight bulb in his Dacia(or Daewoo?). Right one no problem, left side: A/C compressor in the way to remove the plug with the bulb. The user manual commented on that and recommended changing at a service station because you had to change the bulb from below and needed to lift the car :-( I have less problem with needing to take something apart to change a part that should have a long lifetime, but consumables like bulbs? You should be able to swap them at the side of the road while it rains without any additional tools.

[@lamebubblesflysohigh]

Nah, they have to fit every luxury feature and every safety feature into same space as they did when cars didn't have any of that. Yes cars are larger but that is mostly because of larger trunks, crumple zones and airbags everywhere. Another specialty of European cars in particular is European customer behavior... people who buy new upper end and luxury vehicles here (EU) usually sell them immediately when their warranty ends and components like AC compressor usually last longer than that and thus are not manufacturer's problem anymore when they break after the warranty period. Reparability is still there, components are available but how long it takes to repair something is of no concern for manufacturer... they saved 20 bucks by placing that compressor there... 20 x lets say 600 000 cars is a lot of money.

[@marco1173]

It's obvious that you do not put your seat belt on at all as you would have built up muscle memory action over time from the repetition and would not forget to put it on. I'm a retired UPS driver, so yeah I know putting the seat belt on takes a little extra time, but it's worth that little bit of time to keep you safe. I'm not trying to be a dick, just want to see you stay safe. I do enjoy your vids, thanks.

That front air spring is missing a rubber boot causing the air spring to run on rusty metal.

Anytime ive wrenched around, the whole neighborhood knew... im sure some neighbors have learned some new flavorful words over the years from me living within a mile radius.. i dont do much wrenching these days.. i let warranty handle most things anymore lol unless its a non-warranty-voiding mod.

Your videos are enthralling, I watched one and now cannot stop, an amazing mechanic at work

[@johnspecht7449]

Well, be very glad you don’t work for a Land Rover, Audi, BMW or Mini Cooper dealership.

If you got it blowing cold (and even if you didn't) it would make no sense to replace such an expensive part 1,000 miles from home. What happens if the new compressor dies a month later? They have to drive 1,000 miles back to get it fixed?

[@johnspecht7449]

Isn’t that pretty much the Land Rover owners decision? If it makes sense to them, then it makes perfect sense.

Not many decent a/c techs in PA. If it were me, I'd take my chances in FL. Because I live in PA and own VW/Audi cars, I also own a vacuum pump and gauges.

[@atikovi1]

@@johnspecht7449 Understand that but doesn't mean it's smart. Saw that Rainman didn't replace the o-rings on the lines (or made no mention of that) so if the freon leaks out after a month when they are home, what then?

[@atikovi1]

@@CA-ff7si It's wasn't rocket science to replace that compressor. You only need an experienced tech for advanced diagnosis, not to change parts. (No offense to Rainman intended) And what do you mean not many decent a/c techs in PA. It's hotter in the summer than in Florida.

[@terabyte7979]

thats one of the best ways for a compressor to go out. If it were to lock up and send metal bits all around the A/C System it would have been a nightmare. great video 👍

Good Repair and replace on the ac compressor such a micro Tight Squeeze there @Rainman Ray's Repairs

As a Brit, I would like to sincerely apologize for imposing that pile of crap Land Rover to the poor folks who own them.

[@cayman9873]

Accepted

[@oldbiker9739]

I would NEVER EVER own a land rover !!

[@jonclark8155]

Another job well done. You’re a good mechanic/technician.

I don't think even wobbly sockets work well with a 90deg bend, yet somehow you made it work. My brother used to pay me $5 a sparkplug to R&R them from his 69 Mach 1 Cobra Jet. The dealer would actually disconnect the motor mounts and jack up the engine to get to them, but I managed with my compound wobbly sockets and scraped knuckles of course; man that car was scary fast.
