I think that noise is the crankshaft pulley damper they are renound for failing when left idle for long periods 👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@tomleivers1]

100%

[@rralex7622]

The noise is the cranckshaft damper pulley. For the suspension leave the door open untill the compressor fully builds pressure in the tank. However, those airsprings are probably shot and the compressor needs an overhaul. Great project, good luck!

[@paulie-Gualtieri.]

Oh yes guys! Please to do a series on this, clean P38s are starting to get rare and creeping up in value.

[@rajdattani1507]

I had this 2.5TD bmw engine in my 1999 T’reg Vauxhall omega. Absolutely loved it! Was the same colour as that rangie too. I now have a 2.7TDV6 Range Rover sport and I’d trade it for that 2.5 engine any day!!!!

[@TheAndre8900]

Such a sad looking rangie. Glad you picked her up. It's a diesel but they are going up in value a bit since more and more ending on the yard. And being a DHSE in Epsom Green/sandstone leather helps. Also, the air compressor is electric don't need to rev it, just let it idling with access mode enabled the lowest setting and give the compressor time build pressure. If all bags are good and height sensors are healthy it should raise.

[@paulsz6194]

The air suspension compressor is also known to fail, which gives you the impression that one air suspension airbag s faulty, but it’s just the air Compressor not having the strength to keep all four bags inflated.

[@slammerf16]

Open the tailgate or a door while the engine is idling and the pump is running - that'll give it time to charge the reservoir with the bags empty because EAS is disabled by a door/tailgate/bonnet open signal. A healthy pump should fill it up in about 8 minutes or so from nothing. Shut the door and watch her rise up in 1-2 seconds. Or not :)

What a fantastic relic to find, great to see if breathe life again and I really think it will not be too shabby at all by the time it has had a decent wash, that rattle has to be a pulley or tensioner no way it is engine mechanical running that well, it wants to live!

[@markmarot9026]

Guys, nice video. Few corrections. The bmw m51 engine has an electrockly regulated rotary injection pump. On bmw-s there is no supply pump only an one in the tank which levels the amount of fuel in the tank on both sides. Recently watched a video, a bloke in Ireland has tha same car, and the horrible sound was the crankshaft pulley. It is mad of 2 pieces seperated with a rubber padding to absorbe some vibrations. If it gets old, it seperates and makes this noise. Should be an easy fix. These engines are pretty good, but they are very eensitive to being revd when cold. The head can crack. So be jentle with it. Good luck, it will be an amaising youngtimer!

[@mebsuta357]

I had the same kind of noise on my old freelander with the bmw engine. I found that the dampener on the crankshaft pulley was split. Great content as usual 👍

[@benjones1917]

Nice one! Great to see a P38 getting some love. I spent the summer rebuilding the engine in my 4.6 P38 ❤️

[@tommysutton9361]

Hi rob and chris. I have had one of these as a rolling project since november last year. The rattling noise will most likely be the crank pulley, the air not coming up fast enough will most likely be a weak compressor, check the air intake filter on the compressor and make sure its not blocked, you can screw it off completely to test if you like

[@aylesburynumptydrivers9672]

A few things that can be virtually guaranteed to go bad very soon if not already. 1 diesel injection pump will need rebuilding, this will be evident by either diesel leaking when running or more likely hard to hot start. 2 the center baffle in the main radiator is very likely rotted out so coolant will only flow across the top of the rad - overheating. 3 perished airbags will lose air and cause the compressor to overheat/wear out the piston rings. 4 sat nav drive will be dead (BMW unit straight swap and flash a lr boot picture) 5 HVAC display missing segments and fan control dial. (These can usually be rebuilt) 6 other air suspension faults 7 GET THE EKA CODE! 8 possible viscous coupling lockup. This will show by being jumpy on full lock

[@tobymorris4351]

This Range Rover is really good. Don't worry about spending money on it, you will get it all back with interest. Suggest you first sort out a correct battery. Clean it up as you do typically. The heater will not switch off! Push the fan knob to turn 'Auto' on then wind the temperature up/down using the buttons on each side of the display. There is a button on the right side of the display to turn the A/C off/on. Check the crank damper. If removing this you will have to remove the outside part of the water pump pulley first. The more you use this RR the better you two will like it!

That noise is most likely the crank pulley /crank damper on the front of the engine. If you look at the KZbin channel called Sam's Motor and Machine and look at his video entitled I found the cause of the noisy engine I think that will be helpful to you. Great video, these are massively underestimated cars. I have had one since 2001 and still do. Current one is most of the way through a restoration project.

So from me thanks for saving another car from the crusher and a car that is worth saving for sure. Brilliant Rob and Chris

[@rekord1969]

[@grahamepigney8565]

That M51 is pretty bombproof. As it is a turbo it will be a TDS. It was used in 3, 5 and 7 series between 1998 and 2001 in BMWs , Opel Omegas 2.5ds between 1995 and 2001 plus these Range Rovers from 1995 to 2001. A relatively simple engine, relaible and torquey.

The heat shields on my Subaru do the same thing at low revs where the bolts have broken away from the shields making them loose so you could well be correct :)

Hi Rob, I had that model of car over 20 years ago, loved the car but for one thing. The engine would turn over when starting, but wouldn’t fire up, the battery would take a hammering and go on charge every six months. Sometimes it would run for a month trouble free. Took it back to Land Rover dealership and got the shrug shoulder and the “we don’t know” response. Never bought a Land Rover since.. 100% Mitsubishi 4 wheel drive cars since then, no grief.

I’ve said it a lot before but it really is the variety that makes this channel. The attainable stuff like this appeals as much as the aspirational content like the Lambo and some of the more specialised work.

[@jimmyjt16]

That sound sounds like the crank dampener to me Rob. Also the suspension fault is probably the air compressor, you can get rebuild kits for them👍

[@AutomotiveEvangelist]

Can't remember how much BMW was in these, but BMWs of the same vintage ran the heater on high when the resistor pack for the blower motor failed. This was a super common issue. On air suspension, you need to make sure you don't have any leaks, else the compressor will run constantly and it will burn out in short order. You can spray soapy water on all the air bags to check for leaks. When they sit a long time with the air bags deflated, they can form cracks on the creases.

[@mcplindgren]

What a cracking save from you pair. I'm not surprised it took little effort and time to get it running as those engines are brilliant for their time and also very reliable. These are one of the OG SUVs so it definitely needs saving and I look forward to what you guys do with it next 🙂

[@nerotaylor5834]

Great car! I've wanted my own P38 Range Rover for a very long time! Just to let you know, it's got an M51 Engine, the older style BMW Diesel engine, the only thing these M51 engines are notorious for are the Bosch Diesel Injection Pumps failing, you can find people who recondition them, however to buy a new one from JLR is £1600+VAT when I last checked last year, and £2100+VAT from BMW. Other than that, they literally are bullet proof.

[@nerotaylor5834]

Also, the noise to me sounds almost as if it may be the crankshaft pulley, yet another M51 Engine flaw point, but it may also be a belt tensioner. I would absolutely love to see you guys get this P38 Roadworthy and through an MOT, why not take it on an adventure or trio, or even surprise the old owners with it and show them?

Always regretted it but hey that's life. Good luck. It looks a real nice set of wheels.

[@Aengus42]

That rattle is resonance. When you rev it you change the frequency of vibrations coming from the engine. Think a washing machine on spin. As the revs change different parts of the machine vibrate... Look for loose bolts, trim, exhaust shields, plastic mouldings etc. If it was more serious / mechanical you'd hear it all the time & it'd change along with the revs. But seeing as it disappears it'll be something resonating at tickover.

[@Andy-qo6rq]

It sounds like sticking injectors making the clattering noise. I used to clean my mechanical injectors by removing the feed pipe, suck any diesel out with a syringe. Then fill each with carb cleaner using a clean syringe, leave an hour or so, then repeat with diesel injector cleaner. Then fill each with neat injector cleaner again before starting. Even a tiny bit of stale diesel gunge, or the dreaded diesel bug will cause injector clatter like that.

[@keithatkinson6141]

looks like the 2.5 BMW engine that I had in my Vauxhall omega great engine had over 300k on mine when I sold it still running like new the injectors do like to leak at times and if it has the same vacuum controls on it the pipes get brittle and break all over the place well worth spending some time fettling her up

had the same noise many years ago seem to remember it tuned out that the crank pulley damper had cracked. try using your autel to bleed the abs might sort that as well. great video looking forward to the next one

Cracking motor, a RR before they became a maze of electronics. Venerable BMW straight six diesel, mated to a ZF box👍From the comments it looks like replacing the crank pulley will sort the noise from the engine. It will be nice to see the transformation as she is cleaned and valeted, great week for content guys 👍🇬🇧😎

I've always been tempted every time one of these is for sale when they come up. I love the shape of a bricky old Range Rover for some reason

[@andrewentwistle515]

What a great find by Rob and Chris. I am almost certain that she will clean up very well indeed. You certainly don't see that many of that generation of Range Rovers about & I definitely would say " Suit's you Sir" to Chris as he looks @ home behind the wheel of the Range Rover. Here's to the next episode.

I think the rattle is the rubber deteriorated on the crank pulley, it has a metal centre the rubber then metal outer, when the rubber gets old they tend to rattle, a common fault I'm told
