Repairing the cheapest V8 Range Rover in the country... [Part 1]

[@keithlivingstone2525]

When the work is all completed on the RR you do do a video to see how much fuel it takes the car to drive from one length of the bill to the other...😉😂

[@kittyhawk10001]

Personally, I'd like to see all the repairs filmed. I love these type of video, as they help with your own DIY jobs. Make sure you mention an special tools needed and there part numbers. Enjoyed this video, looking forward to the next.

I wouldn't take a towbar off a Landover. It's basically what they are built for

[@urban_fox_cub_urbex]

Some of them are removable with a key so u can store them in the boot

[@4039byrne]

@@urban_fox_cub_urbex ah fair enough

[@stamp28]

I would also keep the tow bar, if someone hits the back end of the car they will hit the tow bar and not break the parking sensors and damaging them!

[@typhoon-7]

If you're off roading they just get in the way and ruin departure angles and if you don't have a trailer may as well take it off.

[@bobbobbing12]

@@stamp28 It happened to my RR while i was stood next to it. Guy over revved when reversing into a space behind me. "Veed" his whole bottom bumper in. My plastic cap on ball of towbar got a little bit warped. But i let it go, cause it was so funny to me.

I think it deserves a new shiny exhaust to let a bit of that V8 out, this is looking absolutely amazing now, love people restoring 2000s cars as they won't be around forever

[@philipdavison5904]

cars built in the 2000's were pretty well made,the only one that has let me down is my mercedes ML320,it's been sat on my drive for two years and would cost way more to get fixed than it's worth,i love that car but i think the time has come to let it go.

[@chriswilliams1234]

Good to see you reviving this old vogue, we are a land rover specialist south of Birmingham and we see plenty of sports, vogues, evoques etc that need this kind of attention on a regular basis. It's a shame when people spend thousands buying a car and then don't maintain it. And then moan when they get hit with all of the issues at once. Preventative maintenance is key! Keep up the good work! N.B glad you bought one with a bmw engine too.... 👍🏻

Would like to see the underside cleaned off ( ice blast?) then under sealed. Don’t bother about the fancy stuff to ‘make it sound better’... put the money into (1) properly up and running and (2) long term ownership value. It will reward you more than an occasional growl from the tail pipe.

[@BadDrummerCarl]

While it's nice they reached out for you and are cutting you a deal, they wouldn't be doing that if you didn't have a channel. A garage should do top quality work regardless of the situation or who they are dealing with

[@kennyg4744]

Finding a good quality Land Rover specialist is a must. Well done to Richmond for reaching out to you Joel. They are much cheaper that a dealer and most importantly, only do what's is required rather than a dealer trying to mis-sell you service items you car does not need.

[@bakerloobadboy]

Keep the tow bar. If you don't have parking sensors they're great for letting you know when you've gone back far enough. Plus as you're in London having a tow bar is essential for dealing Uber. I owned an ex AA Range Rover in the 90's that had front and rear tow bars. They were great for letting other motorists know where their skid / attitude problem ended. As for the exhaust. Just take it off, scrub it clean and paint with a suitable high temp paint

Problem with a towbar is that they rust terrible overtime. If you don't be early in removing the rust it effects also the cars body. Either replace the towbar connections to the cars body or if you don't use it, remove it as soon as possible so you can safe the cars connection points.

[@johnosullivan2017]

Did Richmond LR cover all costs, or just labour? I ran a Disco3 for several years - same platform as RR Sport. The parts are expensive; ~400 for suspension compressor and ~1000 for electric park brake assembly IIRC. And labour costs are high as so much is hard to get to. Sometimes LR parts dry up. My Disco3 was off road for 5 weeks once, waiting for a new turbo cross pipe. The first cross pipe had cracked due to not being bolted in properly. So you really do need to find a good specialist (not a dealer) as the design is idiosyncratic. Both cross pipe changes were ~1000. Once you start down this path you're subject to the sunk cost fallacy. You'll spend 2 or 3K, think all is OK for a few weeks or months, then another horribly expensive issue will pop up. And you'll do it, because you'll be thinking, just one more fix and it will be right. :) I gave up after 8 years and 10K on non-MOT/service repairs. Final thought: if you want cheap reliable V8 power, Merc is the way to go. Get something with the M113 V8 (4.3, 5.0, 5.4) fitted to late 90s early 2000s CLK, E, ML. Those engines are bulletproof, and won't give you nasty surprises like the Audi V8 engine out for timing chain issue.

[@AntChesney]

So they did the breather pipes but not he notorious PCV valve on the back of the manifold?? Get that changed out too....before it over pressurises the crank case and blows oil over everything....common M62 issue!

Hey Joel loving the videos as ever but got a bit of an ask if possible. Please can I draw on your well of knowledge. I have a 4.4 petrol 2003 L322 HSE and for some reason the interior lights have stopped working when the doors are opened and I'm now left opening the doors with the key as the fobs stopped working too. The lights work if you press them inside except the front centre dome light. I've swapped it with the back an the same problem persists. I've read about BCM's going into transport mode but I've no clue how to get it out of it or even if it's in it to start with. I spoke to Jaguar Land Rover Manchester an they now don't even have the software to work on my car even if I was willing to pay the £180+vat an hour for Labour/Diagnostic's. Basically if this has happened to you before or you have seen it before please help. It would just finish off the car (before the next thing crops up) Many thanks in advance for your help and time Joel. Please keep doing the videos as they are absolutely belting 👍👍
