Haha!

[@petew8388]

You are so correct...

[@andrewbaker7854]

But Land Rovers are still more fun to drive than a sterile, characterless domestic appliance Toyota.

[@garywilson1821]

Maybe you could design and build a 4x4 then .let us all know when you get it done

[@brianwhittington5086]

Silicone boost hoses are a good upgrade. They last longer than the normal rubber ones and are more resistant to oil and engine bay heat. One word of warning that you should watch for on any older / high mileage turbo engine is worn oil seals in the turbo internals. Oil mist can get into the boost induction air and burn with the fuel air mix, causing overfuelling symptoms and black exhaust smoke. In extreme wear cases, you could find the engine oil lubricating the turbo gets past the worn seals in enough quantity to fuel the engine on its own. An early symptom you may find is the engine won't stop immediately when you switch off, or runs on longer as the problem gets worse. You can stall a manual gearbox car, but not an auto, so get it checked if you find those symptoms. Keep a regular check on your engine oil as unexplained loss and black exhaust smoke is an early sign. Once a turbo seal let's go, it will soon drink the engine completely dry of oil before you can stop it.

7:40. great effort, oh and they are jubilee clips .

[@shizenjapan]

If you can use a spanner for the jubilee clips for the ones that have a hexagon shape on them. Usually you never undo the fully just loosen them enough to slide them down. That metal tool he used is called mole grips. Definitely get yourself a pair or two they come in handy for many things.

[@johnelbro127]

Well done Lucy great job. 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@peterlinley6520]

My 3.6tdv8 blew both pipes about 3mths after I bought her. New to L322 ownership my 'go to' mechanic tried not to laugh as he found the issue in 10 seconds. Never mind, he was honest (which is rare) and told me how to do it myself. I replaced the clips too as they looked original.

[@peterlinley6520]

And like fate... one of the Aftermarket pipes blew at the weekend, less than a year old. Going back to Land-rover OEM as they are much better quality and not hugely more expensive.

[@maceyevo]

Well done for having a go

[@iainstewart6200]

Great fix Lucy, also with the greatest respect nice bum.

[@Dave-in-France]

Hi Lucy, new to your channel. The pipe fixings are normally called Jubilee clips. You don't normally take them fully off, you just slacken them and then pull the pipes off.

[@johnorchin8567]

I do think you should get some blue glove like your friend had. It would protect your hands from cuts, as well as helping to keep your hands clean.

[@westendwatch]

Excellent presenting skills 😀

[@stevenbennett3922]

Oh, don't undo them all the way. Just enough to slide the pipe off.

[@richardhaywoodh]

Good job. You could wear glover or at least use barrier cream to save wear & tear on your hands?

[@simonnorcliffe5877]

Hi Lucy, another great video 📹

[@LucyOnCars]

Thanks Simon!

[@susanritson8687]

Water pump pliers are good on those awkward clips 😊

[@tomthompson7400]

just buy a pair of the real pliers for them , a tenner and saves a lot of messing about , in fact get two pairs as obviously Callum needs a pair too.

[@cecilwilson5442]

Just bought a range rover sport tdv8 and I need you to come over to northern Ireland and service it ,, and I will take a day off work to watch and learn,, good my wife would not even be near it 😮 great inspiration for owners ☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️

[@gordonbarclay6106]

On the clips its better to use a socket if you can, its a lot easier than a flat blade screwdriver..

[@colinhoward74]

Ha Ha , I had those go on mine too , still got the unblown hose in the car as an emergency repair .

[@interceptor-ss8kb]

I watched Tommy Autos review of a Range Rover it was a good honest review and put me off one.

[@hughmarcus1]

What people forget is that a Range Rover is a big complex vehicle that cost a lot of money when new. If you buy one with little service history that’s 10+ years old, you can expect to spend a load of money on it. When they’re in good shape there’s little on the road to touch them though

[@richard3004]

@@hughmarcus1 that’s exactly what I keep saying, great vehicle but it’s big, heavy, complex, if looked after there great, if not maintained they can empty your bank.. same as any big car merc s class, Audi a8, 7 series etc.

9:07 use hose clamp pliers tool .

[@nickaf5262]

I wouldn’t put brake cleaner on because it will rot the rubber hose

[@Topboy-h6u]

Those clips are call jubilee clips/ hose clips

[@howardlake6178]

I saw a classic auction recently, where they had the car of the inventor, of the Jubilee clip. A top of the range SEL Mercedes saloon from the early 70s. I wonder what manufacturers did before, but I am sure it was invented late 1960s…

[@richard3004]

Went the old ones two loops off wire and a bolt through, tighten the bolt tightened the wire, unlike the worm screw and steel band of jubilee clip, think they also fell out of use as they used to cut in deep, ok on soft metal but not great on rubber.

[@brianwhittington5086]

​@richard9789 More modern cars are using a spring metal band hose retainer. You loosen them with special hose band pliers, to locate on, and grip the two uneven size tags. You can use pliers, or Molegrips, but they tend to twist off the tags.

[@richard3004]

@@brianwhittington5086 yea iv noticed that, cheaper than jubilee clips I’d imagine and once on are secure, not got round to getting special pliers yet so still use water plump pliers on them, sometimes bit awkward but always managed. My post was in reply to @Howard Lake saying what was used before jubilee clips came along, I’ll seem to think it was the one with two thin wires that wrap around hose and essentially a small nut and bolt built in that then tightens the clip.

[@brianwhittington5086]

@richard9789 Yes, you're right about the double wire and loops type Richard. They tightened with what is usually a long slot head setscrew, with a free, or captive nut, and that screw often twists or snaps with age. They fell out of favour as the separate wires could often cut through hoses like a knife, even crushing internal reinforcement in the hose. They would often twist and distort so only one wire put pressure on the hose, so a flat band makes more sense. Having spent years in the motor industry, I've actually seen examples where that type crushed a thin line that allowed deterioration from inside. It then ballooned the hose, and it blew off, leaving the wire clamp and severed end in place ! The spring band type looks to be the culprit that due to misplacement, cut into the adjacent hose on Lucy's car. They do weaken in time if they're removed too often. The idea is good, and the male and female ends that lock into the pliers, making it easier to retain grip when fitting in awkward to reach locations. Yes, waterpump pliers are a good substitute to the proper tool, but a strong new clip will launch itself across the workshop if they slip.🫢

[@zzhughesd]

Great, what are the mechanic plyers called, cheers

[@georgecarr732]

Mole grips

[@ronaldregio]

Yea

[@andybenfield79]

My clips had sharp pointy bits on them. I think it’s to hold everything together because of the pressure in the pipes. Less likely to blow off.

[@tuningemporium]

Go silicone hose next time 😎

[@hughmarcus1]

Definitely. You’ll not have to fit them again, provided you use decent jubilee clips.

[@alanwalker4493]

Great video as per 👍 George must print money for a living 😆 Range Rovers a constant drain on the finances

It's a Jubilee Clip.

[@westendwatch]

or hose clip

[@mechanick1000]

im watching this and cringing but well done for having a go

[@adzy166]

A better fixing option than jubilee clips are self tensioning spring clips. These are more secure and more “OEM” than “DIY”.

[@lukesmith3172]

Poor George..that looks like an issue that has been existing for a Long long long time..

This was frustrating to watch.Over complicating something so basic. Its pretty obvious the spring clip needed re-positioning to prevent it reoccuring.

Man. That is precisely the reason i would never buy British. There's soooo much 'it'll do' going on. That guilty clip is man made error at Range Rover

[@simongray2533]

You're right there. I'm a Brit and, although JLR aren't really British anymore, I still kind of think of them as a little bit British and would love them to be well made. It has always infuriated me when they make fundamentally decent vehicles and then make such basic design errors like having hoses too close together! I was once a squaddie and it was the same with the Defenders. Strongly built solid chassis, engines etc. and then let down by things like flimsy switches in the cab!! 😡😡😁.......I think I'll just stick with my 2008 Toyota! 🤣
