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 !!

[@Steve.budgen]

I use to drive these Range Rovers back in the day for Landrover Sidcup, and I must say they were great motors in luxury, but reliability is just shocking. Customers bills looked like the Bank of England’s deficit bill. And now the new ones are seriously over priced for what they are.

[@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.🐕👍👍

[@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.

[@ewanstewart8011]

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

[@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 👍

[@stephenmorrish1664]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@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. 👍

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@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 🙂👌🏻

[@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

[@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.

[@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..

[@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

[@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?

[@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

[@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

[@stevenjones19-m8i]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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?

[@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!

[@Karoti]

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

[@philphil3707]

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

[@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?

[@altopsta3355]

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

[@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 !!

[@gilberesrepairs]

24:17 You actually said sill correctly 🎉 😎

[@tonylawlor3503]

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

[@terryramsey1470]

Well done 👏 on your valeting skills rob they are getting better all the time. Like the p 38 lovely old bus will be a future classic 👌 another old saying rob you might get better but you will not get cheaper 😉. Take care stay lucky and healthy and get the lambo wrapped up for the coming winter 😊

[@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

[@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

[@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 👍

[@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!

[@johnshepherd4842]

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

[@ianyoud1]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@GSKickel]

Looks great after the wash Rob 👍🏻 I got Jennychem 8 product selection not long ago after seeing it on the channel and can’t recommend their products enough. May need to order the SR package though to get that bucket! Great content as usual.

[@kevinisaac9139]

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

[@johnpells5992]

That came up very well 👌 , good call now it’s running and clean pass it on good luck guys 👍👍🇬🇧

[@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

[@seaninherts]

Love your videos. I don’t (and can’t) drive but find you so darn positively.. Thanks for the content.

[@FordMatt647]

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

[@frankjames7247]

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

[@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

[@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

[@philipnewton7942]

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

[@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

[@Fenders25]

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

[@chrisstyles4630]

Looks fantastic after it's first wash the bonnet looks like could use some sap remover as it dose look like tree sap feel it will come off with that or try tar & glue remover but don't leave wipe on then wipe off immediately but looking great Rob 👍👍👍

[@djcrossie]

Great job Rob. If you ever want tips on washing and detailing cars look up AMMO NYC on KZbin. He can get proper ott but I've always watched his channel for guidance

[@joeparnell9630]

looks lovely that so far guys .clean cars as you want Rob if your happy doing it your way stay with it keep it up lads

[@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

[@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...

[@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 👍👍

[@Lee.1985.]

Cracking job you done, not sure if you noticed but the o/s/f tyre is rotating the wrong way 😉

[@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]

😆😆😆

[@andybonney2582]

I think with the small collection of land rovers you have, you will be giving the dunsfold collection a run for their money! Another great video, and a huge thank you to you both for the car vertical discount code, helped massively when I’ve just been looking for a cheap runabout! Keep that content coming! 😎

[@eddieMurphy11111]

thanks for showing that snow foam gun i have just bought one and not used it yet so i know how to now, and you are in the wrong job i know of a couple of freelanders we have that need that sort of work doing on them but the son in law does not like doing them "he is a ford man" and you must have put another grand on it well done thanks for the video and i am not Instagram

[@zorbathegreek192]

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

[@slyboy1966]

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

[@wotrulke5868]

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

[@Mark_C1]

I happen to be working on one very very similar but the Holland and Holland edition. Just ripped out all the Harmon Kardon system ready for a new audio system. Front sway bars and lateral shock absorber was a doddle to change. Removing the rear carrier to hub bolts to change the rear disks was an absolute tw@t of a job, ended up cutting the head off the bolts lol. Nice work lads, someone will enjoy that 😊

[@johnmontague4245]

Great work Rob. You worked hard on that. It’s come up lovely, and totally changes the look of the car. I’m sure someone will snap that off your hands no problem. Nice job old chap…

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@michaelgilbert3311]

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

[@WillemHuber]

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

[@jeffshaw4553]

Brilliant guys love it what half decent range don’t blame you passing it on lovley good project for some one who don’t mind getting their hands dirty good solid project good on you boys for selling it on you got enough long term ones not to keep it 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽some one gonna love this

[@matthewwebber3982]

Great job with cleaning this one up rob totally understand where you are both coming from that you don’t want too many long term projects looking forward to seeing some more on the lse

[@markwilkinson2673]

Good choice letting it go as is , good luck 👍

[@neilfairless4589]

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

[@chrishammett2176]

Great days work Rob, came up nice…. I understand why you’re moving it on, good base to start on the classic road. Keep ‘em coming

[@williamgrady4088]

Snow foam.....Love it 😊

[@stevo4649]

thankyou Rob,been looking forward to this cleanup,, and wow what a result,looking forward to your next project whatever that maybe,have a good week,,👍👍

[@josephmccullough3031]

I'm surprised Rob you left it that long to wash it ! We all know how you love doing a first clean on a vehicle🤣. Came up well. Think its a good idea to move it on. Looking forward to the Land Rover LSE project getting started again. You promised last year it would be a winter project but didn't happen ....understandable you have crust to earn on the salvage rebuilds.

[@chriscars3578]

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

[@bernardshieldstysonfive1009]

Hi Rob and Chris brilliant video rob you have done a brilliant job of cleaning the Range Rover love all your videos keep up the good work Bernard

[@Hassan123H]

Gutted this is the last video but completely understand and hopefully a LSE video soon to make up for it! What was the mileage?

[@rumnraisan]

This car looks great, proper nice. Just a thought, would it of been better to check the interior for any leaks before blasting the shuts?

[@smithyc2051]

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

[@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.

[@roypowell3450]

Great project Rob nice to see it! By the way is the rattle the bottom crank pulley, I know this to be a problem! Cracking car....👍

[@alextripp1230]

Hi Rob and Chris, that is a lot of car to valet or even just wash Rob. Looking significantly better already tbh.. Alex.

[@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!

[@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🤓
