RANGE ROVER NON RUNNER 2019 VW POLO COPART BIDDING AND MORE !!!

[@mancavehobbies6213]

I suffer from Bipolar disorder and today been a bad day. Your video has cheered me up abit . THANKS ROB.

[@thomasweatherford5125]

I went through some depression these past few years and your so right - these videos just make things a little better. For me, I’m able yo escape from what’s going on and enjoy watching these processes. It’s just great! I hope you’re doing better and take care!

[@jacklifeonwheels]

Yes , these vids are great its a 30min escape

Good man. Take all the goodness you can get. Keep believing’.

[@paulrchapman1]

Up at 4.30 am, did the car crash of a kitchen, fed cat , made coffee revived wood burning stove, made breakfast for the daughters ( all very boring I know) Then in the sunshine to watch the latest Rob and Chris offering. Just fascinating as they all are. Thanks so much and I’m sure I speak for thousands of others.

[@martin4787]

Rob, disconnect the bonnet struts and lift the bonnet vertical and if you look at the hinges you'll see the locks to lock the bonnet into place, saving you stretching over the struts. Discovery 3 and 4 have the same hinge locks. I also would let the front tyres down to lower the body.

[@samrodian919]

I was thinking the same thing, shouting at my IPad "Rob don't you know about the service position for the bonnet?"

[@anthonythomas9456]

I've just fitted a fuel pump on a xtype jag the people who design theses moder cars need a good shake for not leaving room for repairs

[@redsidebiker]

Hi guys, nice breakdown on the diesel pump extracation and diagnostic. That Olop sounds mint, it'll be a little belter when its back together. I bought one of your JennyChem bargain buckets this week (almost lost my fingernails opening the bucket, that seal is watertight!). 3 things :- a) JennyChem pack their stuff very, very well, b) The APC guy thought that it was going to be very heavy (due to the way that it was packed) and c) I've "had" to buy a jetwash to use it properly as work won't let me park my work one at home! Have a great weekend guys. W.

[@Citroeniste]

Well done Rob. I admire your perseverance on the RR. Sometimes you just gotta jump in the deep end and go for it. 👍👍. Looking forward to seeing the next update once that diesel pump is in. I think that’s gonna be the fix 🤞. I bought my Land Rover as a low mileage one owner non-runner. Bit of a gamble but a new crank position sensor did the trick and 7 years on it’s still running like a champ. Have a great weekend gents.

[@leonblittle226]

I actually prefer this kind of video, it's a nice real mix of the day to day work involved in getting the job done, bread and butter engineering and more bits of the puzzle coming together.

[@davidbewick9208]

We've now moved on from batteries to brand new second hand pumps!! Priceless

[@thejackofalltravels8267]

The Range Rover is so convoluted in the engine bay layout. The body lines and drivetrain architecture are perfect. Then you open the hood and think what happened? Keep at it gentlemen thanks so much for sharing your talents

[@scotty197878]

‘Brand new second hand’ parts are the future! 👌 great video as usual guys 👍👍🇬🇧

[@karter5351]

I was just thinking 'Rob's getting proper involved' when you voiced the phrase. Great to see the diagnosis being narrowed down, we all like to see a root cause fault eliminated. As my Dad always used to say "It will be the last thing we try that fixes it"

[@samrodian919]

Too bloody true!

[@shaunwhitmore3291]

Peter is an old school fair man. I’ve had a few bits fixed by him and can’t fault him at all!

[@sruk]

Indeed 👍

[@sirronnitram8937]

Now we know Chris is 52 years old. He needs a young lad like Rob to do all the hard work

[@01matthewc]

🤣🤣

[@steve5772]

I've had a little diesel Polo that's been playing just the same games as that Range Rover since about the same time you got yours in. Analytical thinking's great, but never underestimate the power of doing something else and coming back to it a couple of weeks later! :)

[@iainmacleod4007]

Shocked that you did not have a 10mm ratchet spanner to hand. I was literally shouting at the screen to get one out of the tool box. Very useful tool for a tight situation like you showed on the fuel pump.

[@sruk]

I really didn’t want to climb down again to go off and get one to have to climb up and try to get comfortable I was up and down all day my back was killing me lol

[@stephenricketts7764]

That car has been a pain but I know you two will get it sorted. Why they make things so difficult I don't know probably because they don't want us to repair them. I like the variety in this one, even got the Polo running on the first turn which can't be bad. I hope Chris is back to normal now. Thanks for sharing this video Rob and Chris. I hope you have a great weekend. 👍 👍

[@roypowell3450]

Wow! Rob that's shut me up about the Range Rover Sport great to see work being done and the out come. Has Chris decided to take more of a back seat, or has he gone new specs shy?😚. Have a super weekend guys. 👍👍

[@davidbarnsley8486]

Being a person closer to the ground than some I find when working on bigger vehicles I have a thing called a step up and then I have an old lounge cushion and you can stick that across the fender top and lay on it With my back I couldn’t sit in it like you did Cars these days are just so complex Good one rod 😍😍👍👍

[@SuperFredc]

fender? 🤣

[@TheGardeninMind]

All I can say is, better you than me, mate, climbing up, down and all around on that bloody Range Rover! I admire your perseverance with those 10 mils, but I would’ve have happily taken the long walk back to the shop to get those ratchet spinners. My knees would’ve thanked me! Carry on!

[@super6954]

Thanks for another great video, it's a shame Chris has far to many projects, that old car would of been no challenge at all with the loom in the boot and a tidy up. Our local machinery auctions gone online only since the 19 sneezes shut down live auctions for a while. Their bonus time is a joke, I saw a combine one day still biding 3 hours after it should of closed. I think it had a reserve on it and they left it run trying to get the bids up high enough to sell. It stopped at about $27000 and don't know if it sold then, I got nothing I was bidding on that day so glad I never had to go spend a day and fuel going to the auction like the old days. it's just not the same though when you have no interaction talking with the old guys standing round and meeting other people you know. Take care guys.

[@Arthur-rc1jc]

Always love the Vids boys! Look out for them. So interesting how different your UK car market is to us here in Australia. The Makes, Sell prices, buy prices at Auction. A very different landscape here. Our Used car market here is redhot with prices within 10% of new car prices sometimes. Your standard popular small vehicles. Audi, VW, BMW are upmarket here with Spare Parts here very expensive! We have mostly Kia, Hyundai, Suzuki, Chinese and some Indian models being the mainstay. Range Rovers and Land Rovers here are hideously expensive. Love it when you "Crunch the Numbers". If you both ever make it to Australia for a Holiday with your families, would love to meet you blokes for a drink at the Pub. Cheers, Arty.

[@pauld3638]

Salvage Rebuild Friday mix, Pete Tong eat your heart out !Thanks, great stuff Guys!

[@Polecat54941]

I want to see the Austin Healey, I bet It won't seem too complicated after that nightmare of a Range Rover

[@General_Confusion]

They make them so easy to work on, so you can fix them with a hammer and screwdriver when your out on an expedition in the middle of Africa Rob.

[@richardbastable9798]

On most diesel pumps injection pumps on the inlet fuel supply line on the injection pump is a union inside it is a secret one way valve , it has a shuttle valve and seat with a spring , on newer ones it's a diaphragm valve and when this gets dirty the suction line pressure diminishes this stops the pump from gaining laminar pressure causing cavitation in the fuel pipe and stops it from gaining fuel pressure the earlier ones you could take apart and clean the later ones you just have to replace the Union if that valve is dirty once that is dirty it will never start again .

[@iluvfionaleggate]

Adding in to the video just flicking through your copart watch list is actually really interesting to hear you 2 just discussing the cars, I would happily see you include that every week or so in the future

[@sruk]

There’s one in Mondays video and we won 👍

[@richardjones5255]

That gave an interesting indication of how your work constantly changes. The Range Rover is giving, (and has given) you, the run around. It had to be something relatively minor and hidden, those nagging fault not found issues are a nasty pain with which to deal. I hope the diesel pump replacement fits the bill, but there is always a risk that some other gremlin was pushed under the carpet by earlier activity. Wishing the pair of you a great weekend, come back fighting-fit, ready for the battles with gremlins to come.

[@jasonmueller2444]

Like the way both vehicles shown in vid ,like seeing the bidding system on copart 👍

[@markjubb3888]

Brilliant again guys love the content and you very good at what you do

[@samrodian919]

Excellent vid Rob. I'm glad I've got a petrol Rangie and not an oil burner that's all I can say! And yes I know that a 4.2 Supercharged has sweet FA room under the bonnet as well, but at least it's only got a very easily removable heater air intake up back under the scuttle panel !

[@leedstown]

I owned a 2,7 sport around 5 years ago one, the best riding car I have owned, so smooth to drive but always going wrong

[@kevinjarman6930]

One of the best for a while with a mix up of diffrent jobs being done and a bit of the auction to boot.

[@mcplindgren]

Nice little compilation there 👍🏻 was thinking about the RR Sport the other day and glad you're still on it and not giving up, it deserves to live again. Hope you have a great weekend 🙂

[@Dez55166]

Hi rob I’ve had similar fault with the Range Rover had a injector jacked open and prevented fuel pressure to build up . Worth checking and block off the injector and see if builds up pressure & possibly engine will run

[@johnmontague4245]

Nice one Rob. You worked hard on that RRover. I’ll bet your back was killin’ ya after all that. Another great video. Very diverse, and very interesting. As always great inputs from Chris in the background. Have a great weekend guys, looking forward to next weeks vids.

[@ShedTV]

Those old Range Rovers look so tempting for banger money. Don't think I'd be brave enough though!

[@v88krb]

Great story line again, very interesting, thanks. Glad to see you are still nimble enough to work in awkward positions, enjoy it while you can!

[@frankjames7247]

Love your working positions ! Good decision on the bidding front. Hope the new pump solves the problem.

[@DanCollinsPersonal]

I know you love a bit of Copart, if it wasn’t for the fact it’s a Cat B, and you haven’t got one that your currently fixing, I’d suggest buying my old Focus that got written off back in June. Auction ends on Monday and it’s in Bristol.

[@garrybrown3970]

Great video as always 👌 Liking the bit of extra content on other projects!

[@adrianwilliams717]

Fair play to you Rob, for sticking it out!!

[@clutchdroptv4345]

Another brilliant video its so good to see you guys showing the reality of the trade people have no idea the time and effort that can go into some motors Cheers boys 🍻🍺👍👍

[@paulriggers1558]

good decision on pump, how about "borrowing" the whole lump until you get to the bottom of it diagnosis by substitution is a valid approach, even at main dealers these days have a good weekend gents [canny vid by the way]

[@bernardshieldstysonfive1009]

Hi Rob and Chris brilliant video again love all the different things you added in the video and I like the way you don’t give up on the motor your having problems with keep up the brilliant work and videos looking forward to the next video Bernard

[@amcrome]

Any update on this gents?

[@davidhowie3676]

When I owned mine a few years ago, somehow I managed to get a really small kink in my fuel pipe, it was hardly noticeable but it caused sensors to go berserk because it messed with the flow of fuel. Just a thought mate...

[@steveosshenanigans]

How many cables !! Flipping heck !

[@philipmadhatter4006]

Check the low pressure fuel pump in the tank

[@johnmcmahon4364]

You must put a lot time on these videos Rob and they make great content, and packed with information

[@francisbaker9366]

Hi Rob great videos, alarm bells for me, all those wires without being taped together as you said electrical tape not factory. Maybe a broken wire in the loom or a connector

[@daystatesniper01]

Superb video as always always lads ,the three cillie VW is coming along very nicely , and the Rangie is like a nice bag of pop corn you love it but annoying bits that get caught in your teeth .

[@matthewwebber3982]

Great video rob nice to see you get that polo up and running so that it is moveable I know you say it’s another fiesta and you probably wouldn’t of done a video on it but I’m sure others would agree and say that all the content you put out wether it is a Fiat 500 or a fiesta I do great content and gives us great advice on what to do when repairing your own car etc

[@seancoleman8528]

Oooo, was like a bonus video this episode, kinda enjoyed that format and might well be good to do every now and again to mix things up 🤗

[@fromthetoon1602]

I was bang into the Range Rover waiting for it be started and then it switched, cliffhanger alert lol

[@justinrhodes8186]

Rob you can open the range rover bonnet in service mode so it opens fully vertical makes it easier to work on the engine.. I do same on mine when doing bits on it

[@sruk]

The height was fine bud

[@jimschafer9196]

WOW what a hard part to remove, let put a motor together then build a car around the engine. Tough job, great content.

Would have been good to have a quick recap of 1st video, think it was over 2 months ago and I could not remember what was the issue….still could watch your vids all day.😀

[@RecklessRcuk]

The pump metering control valve can be unplugged to give the car full fuel pressure providing that’s what is at fault

[@colinw1591]

Nice one Rob. Can see why the Range Rover is rated as UK's most unreliable model.... Just hope it's that pump mate. If not we'll be watching you set it on fire 👍

[@RecklessRcuk]

I’m assuming the lift pump is working now? Have you checked the belt is on the high pressure pump? If it is, do not change it, it’s body off job as the stud for the tensioner always pulls the thread out, take battery out, it’s just at the back of the block

[@johndrew3202]

That was a full value for money video! Very interesting on the RR, you need to be pretty fit don't you. I also was worried when you had that jump pack balanced, justifiable when it fell later. Great stuff Rob, you do a fascinating job both of you.

I would have been tempted to take the bonnet off to get more access and light in the back. I often use a scaffolding board on concrete blocks to get a little higher when working on tall vehicles. Just don't step off the board by accident.
