[@Robezt]

Mat it’s been almost 3 years of watching your videos and till today, I still get excited, inspired and entertained so much by you.

[@mattmpower5977]

Looking good Matt, those blinds on the front stay shut on cold start to aid warm up and reduce noise pollution,only open up when additional airflow needed for cooling, those head lights were painfully expensive!!!!

[@SimonBetty]

So glad you’re doing this build, keeping my eyes peeled for one of these for an affordable price for a while now with the intention of face lifting! One of my best series this keep it up fella

[@mikehunt3668]

Hey Matt loving the content, just a heads up from one car fanatic to another.. i work for JLR as a technician and the loss of steering control is common on these models. A bolt for the knuckle on the lower control arm of the front suspension comes loose and potentially leave you without control of the steering. Find out from a dealer if your car is affected; im sure its a recall. Ether way its not to bad of a job providing the correct tools and parts, as with anything. Good luck 🤞🏻

[@DrB187]

Check out deployable side steps, so when you unlock the car or open a door the steps come out from under the car and then hide away when not needed.....enjoying this build!

[@urbancarper3800]

I love that the videos are getting longer 😍 but I hate that we get 2 uploads a week 😭 give us more 😂 cracking videos mate been watching since the Audi TT

[@Vexsites]

Definitely agree, I understand it’s a LOT of work but one more video a week will be nice and it will definitely benefit the channel

[@philashby9144]

you will need to check what the car thinks the steering angle is in the straight ahead position, they have a soft lock stop, which is the resitance your feeling. If its out 360 degrees, work out which way it needs turning and disconnect the steering column turn the steering wheel and reconnect the column.

[@Stealth_T5_SWB]

I’ve noticed when closing the boot, you press the bottom button to close the bottom then the for for the top, if you press the top one first, both close at the same time

[@Kiri_coley]

i am following this series so well it is great!

[@haydnfstr]

Coming along nicely 😁 I'm sure someone has already posted it, but the small battery in the rear is for the start stop system 👌

[@amnakhan682]

Judt made food vid was uploaded at the perfect time! Thanks mat!

[@garethshaw5210]

The small battery you found is the B19 battery that supports the electrical system for stop/start. 👍

[@p2k07]

Back in 1080p, 😋😃 Looking awesome mate, great work as usual.

[@wrecklessgenetics5320]

You can do a weld to the bonnet, vw golfs do it to create eyelids over the lights would take a weld and some body filler then paint.

[@lukemcgivern292]

From memory on mine you could do a steering angle sensor calibration / plug in and check angle data. Also used to reset the air suspension by turning wheel lock to lock whilst in park.

[@SpaceWoof306]

Maybe try looking at the steering angle sensor? see if thats throwing up any fault codes? Hope this helps! Love your content, I've been watching sincce the S5 build. I have a A5 coupe 3.0 v6 and will defintely be rewatching those S5 videos when i go to change my front end!

[@ryanwhiting8376]

Big fan of these videos. I have the luxury of finding this channel late in the day so I have plenty to watch on night feeds with our new baby! Just a tip from me I’m a mechanic by trade, for dashboards or big jobs with lots of different nuts and bolts I done for the first time used to use different colour pens and put a dot on the bolt and onto the near trim or part so I could match them up, especially on dashboards on black trim it highlights bolt holes a lot clearer so you can hopefully get a 10/10!!

[@EIVLN]

Addicted to your rebuilds. Balls of steel tackling jobs most would run a mile from….you deserve all the success that comes your way.

[@baske05]

Finally new episode, i enjoy so much watching them.

[@zebra3519]

Great update Matt. Hammond gave you a top shout out on the BMW. Top class.

[@TheMrFishnDucks]

Car is looking great. The new body kit really makes it look even more modern. Hopefully you can find the hood. Looking forward to the next episode. Keep up the good work.

[@LionTheHeart]

Fascinating watching you glide through the repairs..

[@christiaanmostert3167]

I remember working on a Jaguar F-Pace, I had a similar issue with all those cascading faults when turning the steering wheel. I found the wiring loom that follows down the steering column had been chaffed through about 40cm down from the steering wheel. Keep up the good work. Hope this helps!

[@darrengoldman2980]

Seriously Matt … you the best .!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙏

[@BMohaupt]

Regards tailgate YOU have crack LHS on the structure because they are from SMC material (fiber/plastic) that as well can cause the drop but even during the time can cause more problems

[@gregrobinson4178]

Maybe clock spring in your steering wheel . I had same issue when i rebuilt my 2015 lexus. I broke the clock spring when installing airbag

[@henrymellor9760]

Painting the leather on the steering wheel airbag turned out so much better than I had expected.

Or could be a dodgy universal joint on the steering shaft. Just check power steering fluid is at the right level. 👍🔧

[@garethedwards2883]

Love the way that you don't just fix the cars you upgrade them at the same time 👍

[@joshtaylor678]

For side steps, try direct 4x4, they do both fixed and electronically deployable side steps for that car and there only based in Derby so not to far away from you

[@Triplepiece]

Coi you adjust the hood in interim forward air make bigger holes so it can sit over the headlights, since you are getting a new one anyway

[@xxinsanitybomer4620]

Nice one Matt like your style no fear in face lift job coming on strong big lemon but still tidy big bus

[@Blupa.]

Brilliant effort mate , you could do with some ratchet crimpers for the electrical connections though

[@Snowy-96]

When you had the clock spring out when you took steering wheel off you may have put it back on 180 degrees out giving you the warnings on dash

[@ماجكموزجوني]

Either it's Mrs upset me, cost of living get into me head or idiots upset me at work, I always come into Mat's channel where I relax and cool my mind. It's better than having glass of wine of bottle of lager. Very satisfying

Small battery is for the stop start system .

[@bilalpandor449]

try calibrating the steering torque sensor. if that is out your steering wheel will turn more one way than the other

steering column yaw sensor most likely, due to all esp abs etc

[@01drewsky]

You can adjust the bonnet or hood forward to match your body

[@c_r854]

nice progress i wish i had that much knowledge about repairing/upgrading cars!

[@deuce9769]

Great job so far! When you were replacing the intercooler bracket, your intercooler actually looks bent inwards from the bottom left up to the top right. I could be wrong on this part, meaning that it's supposed to be like that, though again, it does look like it. RR's are not something I work on, usually once per year that I even see a RR in my shop, it'd be a Discovery diesel. Vogues aren't that popular here! Again, great job so far!

[@mojo570]

Hi mat ! I found your channel 9 months ago ,now i see your every video lov your vids . The first video I saw was you wrapping your Mercedes a45 amg . You are the inspiration to buy a crashed car I bought a bmw 3 series 2012-2015 fully repaired it . It took me 7 months to repair that car .now looking for a new CRASHED car to restore 🤗👍

[@jordantennant2728]

I had the same faults codes on the dash and it turned out to be the speed sensor, a decent decoder can pick it up but won't tell you what wheel it's on. Took me two goes to get the right one! Class rebuild dude keep it coming !!

[@volundrfrey896]

12:00 bmw's have those in colder markets. They're to allow for less cooling during the winter, they block the radiator off when it's cold so the engine reaches temperature faster. My e60's were broken (go figure) so I removed them.

[@yasserdelmar6562]

You are very good in your work man. Good bless u.

[@brightwellmhlanga2419]

Massive progress from the first video.. keep up the good work. Inspired.

[@Bundesmeddlanstalt]

8:49 It could be that little battery you saw in the trunk. BMW has the same problems with active steering if the battery is defective. It is important that if you replace it that it is a original battery. It has to be coded otherwise the problem remains.

[@RxPoundz]

For some reason I like the headlights before the facelift. Is there a way to just fit a pair of led bulbs to replace the hid bulbs?

[@jimmcdonald5721]

Active air guide. Get the engine up to temp quicker for fuel economy

[@havafalcon]

Pretty sure the steering stuff is down to the steering angle sensor needs resetting, had the same in my disco

[@simon871]

Matt please some proper crimping pliers using side cutters for shrinks is not a good idea, tends to cut through to the metal, and poss short risk, or at least over shrink the connector is best practise

[@dannymankotia5612]

10:18 autamark is my friends workshop here in India

[@thevoid1463]

I remember from your Bentley build that the guys that serviced it asked why you didn't get parts directly from Bentley as they were a fraction of the price, have you tried that for the Range Rover?

[@steventhomas9461]

And they wouldn't have been a bodge job either and they would have had a full RR guarantee as well.

[@davidbeacham7414]

When I did this to mine I had to raise the hinges just under the wings to get the new bonnet to fit properly, Just a thought in case you have any problems. The hinges are the same on the later model.

[@gregrobinson4178]

Sounds like a steering clock spring. When doing my lexus steering wheel airbag i broke it buy over clocking it. So it trigged bout 6 more lights. Had to go n buu another clock spring! Woulsnt hurt to look into this. And its also easy to buy a broken clock spring already...

[@i2ise]

Your steering is EPAS (electrical power assist steering) the resistance is the steering thinking that you are at the end of travel the SASM is out (steering angle sensor) with software you would be able to dial it in easily but you can also work it out by the amount you have to turn to feel resistance and turn the rotary coupler back to the original position, with the steering wheel off obviously, there’s two grey rubber pins that move the coupler. Hope this helps.

[@i2ise]

I’m saying this as a guess, most likely happened during dash removal. Entirely possible it could be a genuine fault but I know this is an issue people have had when doing dash out rework.

[@i2ise]

Oh look I was right.

[@Hcarmad]

Good progress MA, brave man putting one of these back together 👌🏽

[@joecharles4010]

I’m really enjoying this series. I converted my 2017 to the SVO but didn’t do the full lights and bonnet as it was getting too expensive so fair play to you for doing it. Awesome cars

[@robertwatkinson5692]

I had that exact issue in my Mercedes with the steering wheel clock spring, It would turn fine to the left and then jam and give warnings when I turned to the right. I took it apart and refitted it and it worked fine. Most likely something to do with the clock spring

Are you sure the clock spring was centered when you installed it and not already turned one rotation before you installed it? On my Merc you had to make sure it span 2 turns each way before instal to make sure it was centered (mine was throwing esp lights when I turned)

[@The-Sea-Dragon-1977]

Clockspring not central was my first thought too.

if the clockspring was broke the buttons wouldnt work

[@The-Sea-Dragon-1977]

@@MatArmstrongbmx May be working okay, but not centred. Just a thought. 🙂

Hi Mat, pretty sure the motorised intake grill is due to the wading ability of the range rover offroad, the slats close when wading to stop water ingress.

[@judebrown2672]

Matt. The airbag light in my l405 came on periodically. I found it was a loose connection under the driver's seat. It kept wobbling when the seat went down after opening the door due to having easy access. Good luck. Great series of vids this.

PLEASE NOTE, think the RDL's have to dim 1) when the main lights go on e.g. Night time. 2) when the indicators flash, I think this is a regulation so you might need a rdl ontrol module from ebay that covers all that, happy building great show. Circa £20 ish
