FREE ABANDONED RANGE ROVER FIRST WASH IN 7 YEARS WHAT IS NEXT ?

[@mrlister2000]

I'm a mobile tyre fitter in Merseyside, and deal with alot of RR wheels that lose air. The paint inside the rims flakes off or the rim starts to corrode, which then causes tiny air leaks. Get your tyre guy to remove the tyres from all the rims and get them cleaned up. Also ge them to replace the tyre valves, but to clean the area where the valve sits, as this can corrode and cause tiny air gaps too.

[@davidhowie3676]

I used to have an old P38 but she was riddled with electrical problems. My mate took it to his college motor mechanics course and got the students to replace the entire wiring loom. After that she ran brilliantly. Needless to say once she was sorted my late wife fell in love with it lol. Guess who had to buy a new car lol. Loving this video mate 👍 Ps that is far too good to part out or scrap mate !!

[@garybilling6214]

Rob, as an owner of a P38 also here is a top tip mate never jet was the door shuts on the front drivers side as the becm is located below the drivers seat and any water or moisture here will cause chaos with the electrics. have a good un mate.

[@grahamhardy1358]

Come on guys we have waited over a year for the LSE, if you can't invest the time then flog it and use the he dosh to upgrade the paint booth or a decent ramp so you can get two cars on the go

[@smithyc2051]

This deserves a second chance it’s an absolute classic.

[@dubiousricardo]

Use the Snowfoam first to soak in "dwell" so the detergents/surfactants etc do their stuff, instead of sitting on the "rinse" water. Then rinse/powerwash, then shampoo and rinse. Great job Rob, so satisfying seeing the transformation. Nice one.

[@trainmanbob]

I had one once, that exact model. It broke down on the motorway and cost an arm and a leg to get it 220 miles home. The alternator had burnt out and in the process left me requiring a new alternator and a complete lock reprogramme. Why oh why did I get rid of it. I'd love another but sadly now I don't drive. Well done Rob. You'll soon be opening a car valeting service lol. Cheers, Bob

[@MrZimmaframe]

It's funny you saying this because my friend last year bought a brand new range Rover Sport hybrid and one morning he came out and it wouldn't unlock, turns out one of the batteries had gone dead, and the car forgot all keys and some ecu stuff to do with the battery. Was under warranty, as it would of been thousands to fix at the main dealers.

[@stephenricketts7764]

Rob you got the 'saying' right so don't worry. We lost sight of you a few times I thought you might have taken the dog for a walk but then I realised that the car is taller than you! 'Good things come in. . .' Very well done and someone will love to own it and see the potential. Thanks for the video Rob and Louis.🐕👍👍

[@Karoti]

I used a special clay bar to remove sap from a car roof that nothing else would touch, worked a treat.

[@jonhoward6811]

I don't know why people say you are not good at cleaning cars, looks good to me. Happy to let you practice on my VW T5 camper if that helps.

[@stephenmorrish1664]

The rattle on your p38 is the crank shaft pulley, needs replacement. I had the same noise on my p38

[@sonofedmund5004]

You know it's going to be a dirty job when Rob's got his work boots on rather than his snowy white trainers!

[@Rockape501]

😆😆😆

[@gilberesrepairs]

24:17 You actually said sill correctly 🎉 😎

[@lynchmob1962]

as it stands worth around 750, so if you really want it to go to someone who wants to drive it ask over 1500 or the breakers will have it and us P38 lovers will be another car down to buy, mine had a similar history, but was parked for 15years, n wouldn't part with it , good luck boys, love the channel

[@Марк.Фетнов]

Exactly, don't sell it too cheap or its parts!

[@altopsta3355]

That’s tree Sap use tar and glue remover will fly off. Clay bar will work also with buffing after…

[@mcplindgren]

That was really a diamond in the rough. I'm surprised it has needed so little after being laid up for so long but you definitely made the right call selling. It will really give someone a chance to get it how they want it and you'll have another space for more stock 🙂👌🏻

[@Jay-B1750]

I don't think I've ever seen you get so excited about washing a car Rob!! Might be worth going over it with a clay bar, it's brilliant for getting contamination off paint.

[@mikeharvey9844]

The formula for the perfect number (P) of Range Rovers is: P= x + 1, where x equals how many you already have.

[@ianbeale2527]

Great vid Rob, I have a feeling you'll do really well on it. 👍 There's a certain non-franchise Land Rover dealer not too far from me that has a P38 on their forecourt that doesn't hold a candle to yours - for £6500 !! There's looks like a bag of nails and the best part is, the faded or missing parts and trim, they'll have in stock to sort it . I just can't understand why they don't make the vehicle look as good as possible when they have the parts to hand to do so - especially when they're asking top dollar ! I also wonder who the muppets are who buy from them.

[@thomasfrancis5747]

Fair enough. At least you have saved it. Be nice to see some pics of it in a future video when whoever buys it finishes the restoration.

[@jimmac715]

Will be a good project for someone. It looks amazing after a good wash. Can't wait for the Motorhome video, it will be great to see it finished at last 👍

[@jordanlickley3659]

Seen on an old forum the rattle is most likely the lower crank pulley, the rubber dampener falls apart and the two parts of the pulley knock together at idle. Hope this helps!

[@AdamsWorlds]

I always use fairy liquid lol. Quick jetwash, bucket and sponge over it with me fairy liquid and a jet wash off again. Over with towel to dry. Not the best way, but its efficient and cheap and i'm not driving anything fancy i care about. My mates hate me for it, but it works and honestly i cant tell the difference to my method and there fancy one with loads of products. Just cost them more time and money. The one thing i do use it a brush on my drill and i go to town on wheels with it because im to lazy to manually get in there lol

[@frankjames7247]

You got the saying correct ! Good decision with this vehicle, someone will be very happy with it.

[@oldschool1993]

Car salesmen are hilarious- guy has sold a thousand cars in his life, yet everyone he has is loaded with superlatives- unbelievable, beautiful, fantastic, the best I have ever seen etc. etc., it's a litany of sales talk as natural as breathing.

[@ewanstewart8011]

Great result Rob would like to have seen the bonnet after a run over with the mop, hope you are feeling better Chris 👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@muhammadmungur9139]

Well done Rob you have cleaned that Range Rover to a good standard. The car looks like a different car now you would never know. Amazing work Rob i think you’ve washed this car really well and to a degree. You should be really pleased with your cleaning skills Rob. Keep it up Lads.

[@nolanstaveley-haynes2129]

Outstanding effort Rob, just look how we'll that P38 has come up, I think the colour is Epsom Green, not much more work to make it mint but I totally get why your moving it on, the market is very strong atm for these. That's why we love this channel no nonsense just honest car graft. Cheers

[@mikeclifton7778]

There's something therapeutic about washing a car. However, Rob washing a Range Rover reminds us of the non-runner RR Sport and the Classic in the workshop awaiting your attention! Good video as usual Rob..

[@ril127]

Rob - never leave a p38 running without opening a window before you close the door. They are a real pain if you lock the keys inside

[@zorbathegreek192]

It was great to see the difference after a wash, but just pipped by the GTI wash!

[@peterdavies3862]

I was wondering what you two were going to do with this one.... Now I know! That is a great looking car and I think you are right to pass it on to somebody who can spend more time on it and restore it to pristine condition. Super video as always & keep up the top work!

[@johnpritchard2772]

Hello Rob, some effort with the cleaning of this car, hidden behind the dirt is a good vehical and a great project for some-one. Just to mention I brought a car through a main dealership, which looked like your LR as first seen! The dearlership gave the car a full valet inside and out, full service and three years warrentry with breakdown / recovery cover which will finish in November. Looks may be deceiving, but it is what you can see beyond, so dont judge a book by the cover, it's the contents what matters!! Very enjoyable video, and I am about to go out and give our car a clean!! Cheers from Lincolnshire.

[@eddieMurphy11111]

you can no longer get parts off lr for the p38 so i was told by lr if you do drop diesel or oil always put washing up liquid on it strait away and spred on it and leave 5 mins and rinse of with a power washer ,thank you for the video

[@kageyme8109]

it's already got lots of big pluses in the fact it's run ok and it's on it's original suspension , this is what people look for. You boot problem is usually the cable as that's a common problem and if it does open then you bottom of the drop goes rotten . At the moment Uk ones are a big plus as all the good ones are coming in as imports and the price is astounding

[@johnshepherd4842]

a good call rob, about right, your getting better at washing them !!

[@philphil3707]

Clay bar the paint work Rob, buy the Maguires kit, well worth it, will probably work wonders on the bonnet too

[@jonbell2305]

Well that came up lovely 👍 That range rover with the 2.5 bmw engine is worth lowest a grand as it stands. A 39k miles same spec etc a year newer sold for 11k a month ago at a farmers auction in Scotland. Course it had full history etc and was mint. But I'd put it on as a auction and see what it gets. I'd say min grand all day. Great video keep up the hard work 💪 And that's tree sap on the bonnet. Thinners will get that off

[@colinashby3775]

No music while washing. This is great

[@fromthetoon1602]

I think this is the right call on this one, but will yous do a bit of work on the one behind you for over xmas bonus videos?

[@darrenwilson8042]

I remember hand washing and hand polishing an Insignia I had once ( it was the end of the lease so time to cover any blemishes lol ) it was a warm humid day and even in the shade I was sweating - at one point I looked up and was dismayed to see I was only two thirds around the car doing the polishing - and they I had the window glass to do lol - what a day

[@chrishines6048]

It's amazing that a simple wash can transform a car after it's been sitting for 7 plus years

[@tonylawlor3503]

Going to look brilliant, when it's done, good job Rob and Chris

[@rhiantaylor3446]

I think Chris is right to want to concentrate on moving through the quick-fix cars and not get too bogged down with the likes of the stretch Range Rover but, as with all things, you need a mix.

[@williamgrady4088]

Snow foam.....Love it 😊

[@slyboy1966]

That’s tree sap on the bonnet. It will come off rob 👍🏻

[@Fenders25]

Its cleaned up really well, what a difference a bit tlc does.

[@MrPabsUk]

when they`re that bad I always snowfoam, leave for 5, snowfoam again, then jetwash after 2 minutes, then snowfoam again before putting a mitt on it. Also, when theres moss on the scraper seals, I always aim the jetwash upwards, away from the seal, towards the glass, otherwise your pushing the moss & grit into the felt part of the seal, which puts stress on the motor & slowly scratches the glass, then, you space the glass away from the seal (with a flat trim clip remover) & aim the jetwash downwards & diagonally, into the seal, to get the dirt out from that felt edge. Why not stick it through an MOT, just to see?

[@RecklessRcuk]

Yeah never put a cloth or mit on it until it’s been jet washed off, should of lowered the suspension too lol

[@romanrob]

you aim a jet wash inside the door? Have you seen how much electronics there is in side a p38 door? Maybe i misunderstood...

[@ianyoud1]

Try fall out remover on the bonnet should work getting rid of all the stuck on grime

[@liamhearne146]

Rob I'd say jennychem would have a product for taking that crud off the bonnet it's probably a combination of tree sap and bird 💩. Some of the cleaning product they gave you for the outside of the motor home might work on it but it probably needs a coating of fallout spray and then clay bar before machine polishing. A good project for somebody.

[@JasonSmith-tv2zw]

Tree resin on the bonnet, easy enough to remove with the right juice, but may need a lot of mechanical polishing and restoration as it can etch

[@ged3680]

Hello Rob and Chris. What a difference a good wash makes. It will be a nice project for someone. Thank you for taking the time to upload another video. Ged

[@therealdojj]

We've all be waiting for this Let's hope it's not a disappointment guys 👍👍👍

[@michaeldebrou8767]

A clay bar towel would really prepare that bonnet for a quick compound mop after. Should remove all the rough feel of the paint and leave it super smooth for the next stage.

[@commander_lard]

Love a P38 - miss mine and had all sorts of fun sorting it (had the dash out and a load of other jobs on it) - great cars for someone as you say who wants to get into classics, there's no end of things to do on them which is great if that's your kind of thing, I enjoyed working on mine

[@kevinisaac9139]

I think that bonnet is tree sap should come off it’s looking good Rob 👍

[@neilfairless4589]

Rob, you should try an auction for it, see what it goes for and record it maybe??

[@deanhawthorn5783]

bring back the lady car washer .....not saying she is better than you....but she is better in other reasons

[@HAGGIS19757]

When you sell it don't forget to put down your time its cost you to get it .this is a well sorted car and don't go to to cheap like always lads this is going to be a very collectable car just take it in to consideration.

[@chriswilkinson3260]

Get some paint thinners or some hand sanitizer on the bonnet that's what I've used and it should clean up lovely on the bonnet

[@Phuc_Yhou]

just imagine, on Christmas Day, waking up and finding an extended episode of the Range Rover rebuild...

[@jameshennelly9568]

Yeah but which Christmas? 😂

[@tomtodhunter1776]

I've really enjoyed this video, a great little birthday treat for myself. 😁 I've been looking forward to seeing it cleaned up. The paint looks great, and I can't get over how well the wheels came up. The crud on the bonnet may be tree sap from where it was sitting. Great work, Rob. 👍

[@milliondollarempire]

Good job Rob I might get u to clean mine next!! there's something very satisfying about cleaning up something old and making it look like it's new!

[@wotrulke5868]

It’s a 100 times better than it was! Well done 👏🏼 👏🏼👏🏼

[@stevenjones19-m8i]

Hello Rob,nice results on cleaning this Range Rover,the products have worked great.it looks totally different.

[@jasonmueller2444]

Can't believe u managed to leave that motor not cleaned in your yard ,that would proper mess with me mojo 🤣,that came up so clean 👍

[@michaelgilbert3311]

i am excited with this one guys.right call to move it on as is.

[@paulleeson1218]

The P38 isn't the classic.Edited to add, If you haven't tried it before you should try a clay bar, if you need convincing, buy one, wash a car, put your hand inside one of those really thin sandwich bags and gently wipe your bagged hand over your your "clean" car, the bag will snag on contaminants that you can't see, it's these contaminants that hold water onto the surface. A clay bar removes these contaminants, needs to be done before you apply any wax though.

[@paulbradford8240]

I totally agree with this comment. Several years ago a clay bar was recommended to me. I watched a couple of videos to see how to do it (not rocket science). I then bought some and swear by them. You won't see the fine particles of crud on the car, but you'll see them picked up by the clay bar. You'll not believe the difference. You don't need to use it every time on a car, but it is worth it. On the windows too.

[@bear1245]

Ok clay bar salesman lol

[@rouman7]

Clay bars are superb

[@craigb4719]

I would snow foam firsts iron out/ fallout remover then clay maybe a cutting compound finishing polish then a wax and see the difference

[@bobuilt10]

A clay bar won't remove the tree sap on the bonnet. The only thing I've found that works is road traffic film remover and for the really tough stuff brake cleaner. Make no mistake it is like glue.

[@paulkedwards]

The P38 was never seen as the best RR but now is the up and coming classic. Whoever gets this one will have a lovely Rangey with a bit of love spent on it. I had a 4.6 Vogue and it behaved itself mainly with the exception of one day when the electrics had a wobble - and it was Friday 13th spookily!!!

[@fastasfox]

I agree....they are just starting to turn a corner....obviously they won't ever fetch classic Range Rover money but nevertheless they are coming of age.

[@commander_lard]

Had the same 4.6 as you - loved it and so much car for the money a couple of years ago, glad they are going back up in value as they are lovely to drive - still more refined and comfortable than 90% of the cars on the road - especially when you leave them on air!

[@jasoncarter5005]

Wow what a transformation. That wheel cleaner is amazing

[@paulgilliland2992]

Another 1st watch in 70 years video . Brilliant.

[@alancampbell1008]

Should've got some caravan algae cleaner, don't know if they do that stuff but Autoglymm do a really good one. Just used it to clean a box trailer that hadn't been washed for about the same time parked in a damp corner, it was green!

[@dandann8237]

That's Monday finished. If I bring my Jazz over can you wash it should only take about 20 mins and no step ladder required. Great video lads

[@john-paulb847]

Autoglym rapid detailer works well with that tree sap on the bonnet rob. Tried and tested!

[@haydenuk02]

It looks unreal from what it was. I think the plan you have for it now is the right and best plan. Can't wait to see all the other projects up next. Fantastic work and cheers for the video take care

[@markwilkinson2673]

Good choice letting it go as is , good luck 👍

[@joshbacon8241]

I remember when my parents used to have a P38-generation Range Rover when I was little. It was a 1999 Vogue model - if I remember correctly - finished in dark blue with cream leather interior…

[@paulanderson4894]

I love the p38 always have always will which is why I've got 3 of em 2 v8s an a diesel such good motors if they're looked after Love what you do Chris an rob what a team

[@markturner9809]

Great video. Although I understand your rationale in moving the P38 on, really was looking forward to seeing it completely sorted - or at least interior cleaned and the engine rattle sorted - would have made great content. But at least you’ve confirmed the potential this old gal has for someone else to exploit 👍👍

[@philipnewton7942]

Rob The engine rattle could be one or two plastic flaps in the inlet manafold Phil n stoke

[@benfel9403]

Just for a heads up, if that has the Genuine Land Rover roller blinds in the rear, as it looks like it does on one of the doors, those are a mega rare and expensive dealer / self-fit option! Just so you know.

[@rupe7810]

You earned your £20 there Rob! 😁

[@michaelopere5424]

The noisy engine sound could be caused by tappets that need clearance adjustments.

[@chriscars3578]

I find rob when using snow foam I mix it with hot water from tap and it works an absolute treat

[@christopherwhite443]

Rob now you need medium clay bar all over car paint work before buffing.

[@mickj.147]

Thanks Rob.

[@williamdonly7966]

My kind of video Rob! I do this job day in day out !! Big thanks to jenny chem !!! Fantastic video yet again!!! Enjoyable to watch !!

[@samrogerson3272]

Rob, when the snow foam has done it’s job. Wash it off and then use your shampoo.

[@WillemHuber]

I think the rattle at low rpm may be the crankshaft pulley. I hear they are known to separate over time.

[@paulie-Gualtieri.]

This is probably 30 to 40% away from being a concourse car. It's definitely worth going to a good home as there not many DHSE out there in this condition. Maybe do some engine mods to make it more powerful and driveable.

[@nealterry5]

Sensible to move it on as you've got plenty of stuff to be getting on with. Looks pretty good after a little bit of elbow grease.

[@keithweybury5212]

Hi Rob & Chris I would have loved to see av refurbish done on the motor but you have a business to run and completely understand what a sale as is will achieve. Good luck with that aspect. As we say it is a lovely motor for a good home. Keith

[@jimschafer9196]

Love the wash bucket labeled up for your business that's priceless, one great supplier. Look forward to the next reveal on this one. So will a mope job on the hood remove that hood crust?

[@williamwales6619]

A good wash turns a mudplugger to a desirable beast. The bonnet will improve big time after a claybar and a really good mop. There is a cult following for this and you won't lose money bearing in mind you are in for the cost of transporting. Thanks for vid. Later🤓

[@ants9230]

Made me chuckle when Rob said it was clean under the dirt 🤣🤣

[@martinaskham]

Looking good. The bonnet has been sun damaged the lacquer looks gone.

[@FordMatt647]

Well done Rob it looks great a good machine polish will sort the bonnet out 👍🏻

[@richardstraszewskyj9435]

Love these P38, someone will really enjoy taking it to the next level.

[@abuhamza1970]

Alright Rob, great video as always. You might wanna do a bit of (Paintless dent removal) PDR on that rear door dent. You can get a basic kit for about £30 alternatively get someone to do it, there a few of them out there and some of them have their own YT channels as well. Maybe you could host them on your show?
