ABANDONED Land Rover - Will It Start ?

[@prince77rp]

Gonna have to steal the "rally driver option " at some point fooking loved that, another good vid mucka

[@lottiecooper609]

It's nice to see a young lady interested in this type of work!! Not to mention, a beautiful woman!!! Thank you my Lord muck!!!

[@myke49]

Ive owned about 30 Land Rovers here in Australia. Watching that 2.25 litre engine come to life made my day. They are the sweetest little four cylinder engines. I used to be in the geology business. Our Series IIa SWB Landies had that motor. When the geos drove from Sydney to Broken Hill (a very long way), they used to use the "cruise control" otherwise called the hand throttle (fitted for winches). They would get the Landi up to "cruising speed" (what ever it would go) and then set the cruise control flat out. The engine would be revving absolutely flat out and the result of this would be that the exhaust pipe would become extremely hot making the aluminium floor also red hot. No problem - feet up on the dash and off we go. The speedo would go well past the 70mph mark. Great little beasts. Wish I still had one. (Still have a td5 Disco though for old time's sake. Mike

[@LordMuck]

They are an incredible engine

[@billupstateny9151]

The introduction played after a short preamble to the video, is a unique touch, let's the audience digest what the video is about to unfold, while reminding EVERYONE of the great equipment adventures of the past.

[@captainclarke]

Back when they built Land Rovers that some bloke in a mud hut could fix with a shoe lace and a rock. And I have found Bucklers suit me well, long lasting and comfortable.

[@notamotorbikemechanic]

Love it “if you don’t like it f**k off” simple isn’t it 😂

[@hartleyhore9040]

Another great vid , it’s so great to see the lady’s taking an interest in the old gear and doing some spannering keep it going . I’ve grown up from a very small age with land rover and I luv em 👍 . Got to say too I think the clips in between are brill , makes me chuckle plus your comments to the Bill and Ben waste of time men , great how you deal with em 👍👍👍

[@LordMuck]

Glad you enjoyed it 👍

[@jay-kq8of]

Great vid mucker those old landy engines are bullet proof worked ona few with my late father looked gone for all money then out of nowhere they would just fire and always sounded sweet

[@theyorkshireworkshop]

Absolutely love this channel , great mix of movie clips really a great addition to the video! Keep them coming! I imagine it’s helping a lot of bored folks through lockdown! 👏🏻

[@dugstar7970]

Really impressed with that. First time I've ever heard a Land Rover engine going well over 4k RPM. Got a lightweight at home. Old soldiers don't die, they just go to a sleep for a bit then back on it.

[@darcybowyer5743]

Coming from someone with a ex Royal Australian Army GS CV you’ve got a nice one there. Those 2.25L petrols are stout as a proverbial brick dunny. Mine had been abandoned for 10 years and with just fresh fuel it fired up and ticked over like a sewing machine!

If it's like my coffee it's probably cold now though definitely worth it

[@whitestream5233]

Great vid, my old IIa looked like that when I first got it. Been wearing steel toe caterpillars for the last 10 years or so. Wear them every day and get about 2 years out them each time. Very comfortable!

We have had similar experiences, we started a 1960’s Diesel 2.25 and drove it out of the ditch. It been standing for 40 years. As for boots I use steel toe cap cat boots

[@ottoneidlinger4938]

Excellent question my lord. Carolina boots are my favorite. Been through a lot of crap ones till I found these. As others have said the rally driver line is priceless. I bow down once again to your genius my lord.

I'm genuinely delighted when you get them started only because I've known failure so often! You need to do a will it fly video!!! Starting them bastards is easy. It's keeping them up is the trick!! Do well

For work boots it has to be a pair of John Bulls get them in NZ and shipped to the UK. Very comfortable and last years. Well recommended

As I sit here in lockdown and think back on this year, I have to say Lord Muck has helped keep me sane. In addition to the Covid, it’s a challenge taking care of my dad, who has memory loss. Sometimes we will watch together, and while he doesn’t always understand the humor or why anyone would want to watch a 60 year old crawler start up, he does admire your mechanical abilities. Thank you

Red back work boots. Lived in them for years.

[@jackhume4532]

Those old Land Rover 2 quarter engines are just brilliant aren’t they, your Lordship and you are absolutely correct in your message to those who do not like the film clips(I do) so please keep them coming. As far as work boots 🥾 goes, I have had so many over the past 34 years that it’s really hard for me to say which ones I liked the most and have been the most comfortable too, sorry your Lordship I don’t have answer for you, but still you really do a great job with your vids and you work really well with your glamorous assistant and I can’t wait to see your next video. TaTa till next time.

Cheers Jack.

Work boots- Wolverine Can we have a montage video of her smile? Its downright contagious.

[@stevegifford9989]

Thanks for another great video. Boots - Being a plumber I wear lace up Dewalt boots on a daily basis, although if I am going in and out of a customer's house all the time I wear a pair of Dewalt slip on Dealer boots. Also got a nice pair of black Dr Martens steel toe caps which i keep for non damaging environments. Away from work, if i know i don't have to take the boots off all day I have a fantastic pair of ex military dessert boots which are so comfortable, but have so many lace holes and being a tight fit mean they are a bugger to take on and off.

[@elborrachogrande]

Damn it if I didn’t have a nocturnal mechanical fantasy last night that our hero Lord Muck found an abandoned Rolls Royce Griffin and did a ‘Will it start’ video. Pondering it further with the eyes open, I think it’s a bloody good idea! I’m guessing there aren’t too many barns across the pond with a Merlin, Griffon or Napier Sabre tucked inside, but if anyone could find one and get it started, I’d put my money on #LM2020

[@kevinskea9388]

Started wearing Redback safety boots a couple of years ago. All day comfy, massive recommendation.

I know that exist much better boots selling in Portugal but, i use ones of the brand Capriol very confortable, nice grip and they last long!! By the way, keep the clips in the video!! pop a laugh every time!! :D

[@asp383]

Always like watching videos like these and I still miss my '63 2a after 25 years. It was my 1st car, spent my time getting it roadworthy while learning to drive, so it was ready for when I passed my test, used it for a lot of my apprenticeship in terms of the work I did on it was submitted as evidence for my NVQ. Another bonus was the 2.25 petrol ran on pretty much anything and as an apprentice, anything it would run on was great. there were a number of car hire and body shops on the industrial estate and the garage I worked at was opposite the petrol station, so as you could probably imagine, lots of people misfueled their courtesy or hire car, we'd pull it into our workshop, drain the fuel and put fresh correct in. Rather than pouring the contaminated fuel into the waste fluid tank, it all went straight into my Land Rover, sometimes I could have as much as 75% diesel/25% petrol, but she always started and thanks to those people's misfortunes, I was able to have fuel for my social life and keep my money back for other stuff. I ended up selling it to a farmer in the Bristol area to use as a farm hack, but not sure if he ever took it home or left it at his parent's farm in East Sussex, it doesn't appear to have had a MOT (although now MOT exempt) for a very long time and after his parents died, the farm was sold and barns converted into homes, so it quite possibly ended up at a local scrap yard, although it isn't marked as being scrapped by DVLA, so who knows whatever happened to it.

[@billupstateny9151]

Boots: Ariat fire resistant. Enjoyed the video. Many Americans unfamiliar w/ the Land Rover brand. Expensive w/ limited dealer support. The G503 Jeep, more Military iconic here. Given a choice, prefer the off-road equipment, tractors, crawlers, loaders & the like. The start sequence is like a golf shot, off the tee, trajectory uncertain. So the gallery, collectively leans left or right as if their position might influence where the ball will land. It is much the same when the engine is cranking. We lean a bit into the keyboard for that extra incentive to fire. A horse race could be another example, neck & neck approaching the finish. The audience lends virtual push to their horse, as if they are along in the saddle, Then the engine starts to a sigh of relief & accomplishment

[@philgardener7018]

Another great video. I had a 2 1/4 petrol LR for many years and travelled all over the country in it . I get a pair of buckler Buckshot boots from the Does show every year which seem to last about a year

Great vid as always 👍 Work boots wise - gotta be the Bucklerz dealer boot for me - great fit.

[@davidrushworth3218]

Dunlop thermo wellies.. Bit numb to start with when you first get some but once you've learned how to walk and drive again when wearing them nowt better and they last a long time too. Great videos by the way very good top tip about having a battery on the right angle so all the power runs to that end. I remember someone fitting a new battery on a series 3 and started it up, looked happy with a job well done and shut the bonnet.. Engine died immediately. The bonnet support shorted out the battery terminals !!

[@michaelplatts8052]

Another brilliant effort. Looking at that poor old beastie, I thought that when you said you were going to fire it up, that you were just going to dump a quart of petrol on it, toss in a match and walk away. But it would still probably run after that. For those that complain about the movie inserts? WTF is wrong with you? Carolina steel toe boots have to be my choice. They last the longest, and like the Rover, you want to wear them even when they're coming apart on your feet.

[@willjeffery2661]

Easy, I went to AUSTRALIA in 2005 and brought back a pair of Steel Blue, toe tech, leather dealer boots. I am now on my 3rd pair. They are my go to boot, walking, working or even going out with a splash of “Leather Genie”. They easily outlast anything you can buy over here (UK) and soooo comfy!
