Sports Dumper? The Resurrection! Engine seized

In this video we attempt to un seize the 200tdi engine in sports dumper, so that we can start digging out the new bunker #bunker #mancave #willitstart #landrover #200tdi #tunneldave

[@GrahamDallas]

That's one of the best KZbin engine refreshes I have seen. Love it.

[@Tornado_Dave]

Thanks for the nice comment, I wasn’t sure if it was worth filming as this is a normal day of my life so just testing the water really 😀

[@ianburgoyne6573]

Thanks for the invite to help. It was a lot of fun 😁

[@Tornado_Dave]

Thanks for the help Ian, think you should be the first to try the spinning chair 😂

[@Vikingwerk]

Always amazes me when old gear like this fires back up.

[@Tornado_Dave]

I was pretty shocked myself 😂

[@LexsBudgetBunkerBuild]

As an ex-mechanic I have to confess I was doubting you'd get it going again - props to you sir!

[@Tornado_Dave]

I was doubting it just as much 😂

[@andycooper2427]

I find it so fascinating, what it would be like to spend a day in Dave’s brain, all that knowledge and cool/mad ideas flying round.

[@Tornado_Dave]

There’s loads more crazing things I have made and will be making 😀 glad you are liking it, just shows I probably should of started the channel years ago

[@BreakingBarriers2DIY]

Is it possible to cry and laugh with admiration? The environment that you are getting this done in is…astounding. So glad you are bringing us along…and like you said…sometimes you just do it because “…it would be funny”.

[@Tornado_Dave]

It’s like a text book how not to fix an Engine video then at the end it runs perfect, I’m pretty amazed myself 😂

[@iwantthemoonback4198]

Love the water 'gloop' sound coming out of the middle piston (if thats what it is!) When youre truing to start her up!

[@Tornado_Dave]

Yes I think I missed some on my cleanup 😂

[@aquacruisedb]

Some serious mechanical skills there Dave, and a wonderful attitude to problems (wish I was that relaxed!) No wonder you didn't bother winterizing it, probably took you less time to rebuild it! Very enjoyable video to watch

[@Tornado_Dave]

I have played with these engine for a long time, wait till I put the upgrades on it and increase the power 😂

[@maxim63737]

Dead engine: is rotting... Dave with wooden block: it's resurrection time!

[@Tornado_Dave]

I thought I was going to have to upgrade the hammer size 😂

[@julianroberts7116]

Mate, you're just a genius. There's no other word for it.

[@Tornado_Dave]

Thank you 😊

[@pauljoseph8338]

One of the best “will it start” videos…I’d have bet the house that it wouldn’t have started!

[@Tornado_Dave]

When I was hammering the pistons for about 20 minutes I had just about condemned the engine, then it started moving! 😀

[@victorcast2467]

The fact you can get this running again is absurd! Great job!

[@Tornado_Dave]

Yes I was pretty surprised myself 😂

[@Lee_Essex]

Nice video, It was good to see how kind of simple that was to fix with the knowledge and how it works with the head off. Most people wouldn’t have a clue including me.

[@Tornado_Dave]

Glad you liked it!, I like the footage myself with the engine spinning over 😀

[@j78k]

Really enjoyed watching that 👍👍👍👍👍

[@Tornado_Dave]

I think I condensed it down into a watchable video ok, most people leave too much footage on, I spent the actual video length hammering the pistons 😂

[@andrewsteele7663]

Good morning, Dave, I love how nature has taken over the dumpy with Alge and moss. Here in Oz, you would have found a couple of very large snakes living under the bonnet, along with large amounts of snake poo. I must admit, you will be very handy to have around for End of DayZ or the Zombie apocalypse. Cheers PS, I would love a dumpy, but down here they are like rocking horse poo.

[@Tornado_Dave]

I’m glad we don’t have snakes here, wouldn’t be working in the bushes if there were 😂 yes 20 plus years of working on my own in this yard has given me a good survival training 😀

[@mechanicalmoron2251]

couple of nice old land rovers there. never douted the mighty 200tdi. nice work

[@Tornado_Dave]

Plenty of Landrovers here 😀 yes the 200 are so bullet proof

[@lewissilverman7697]

Love it! Perfect mix of Diesel Creek and Colin furze.

[@Tornado_Dave]

Thank you very much! I watch both and think I do slot somewhere in the middle 😀

[@lewissilverman7697]

@Tornado_Dave you're your own man, but I enjoy the aspects of engine work and bunker work. Perfect! Keep on. Can't wait to see how you build the cellar. It's the dream build for me.

Nice work Dave 🏆 Keep digging

[@Tornado_Dave]

Yes I’m back on the tunnel again 😀

[@BackyardBunkerBuilder]

Nice job getting the old engine firing again. Love seeing people putting the effort in to getting old gear working. This is another reason for following your exploits on here. Great work mate.

[@Tornado_Dave]

Thanks and I’m glad you liked it, I think the channel is better with a bit of variation even if it’s not for everyone 😀

[@airgunningyup]

Dave is the guy that has spare parts for everything under the sun..

[@Tornado_Dave]

Had to nip out for the head gasket and was annoyed I wasn’t stocked up on them 😂

[@BenVeenstra]

I liked that pristine engine rebuild more than the bunker 😂. Thanks for not leaving us hanging and actually driving it 👍🏻. I hope there will be more sandpaper engine revisions from the yard in the future! 🔥😆.

[@Tornado_Dave]

It’s hard on the tunnel to keep coming up with interesting things to film till I start the new bunker, I enjoyed this video as it was a genuine surprise when I got it running 😂

[@BenVeenstra]

That genuine suprise is probably why it's so good 😉👍🏻! Cool to actually get a reply from a creator. Looking forward to the dig!

[@Tornado_Dave]

@@BenVeenstra I try my best to reply if I can as i like the comments coming in, the videos are made for the viewers and since I have no idea what I’m doing on here, the feedback is key to making the channel better 😀

[@glassbackdiy3949]

Brilliant, top notch bodging, we had a seized bodgeford with a 2 pot lister, 2 of us hanging off an 8ft scaffold pole on a socket bent the pole but it did free it in the end, my mate made some wizzard penetrating oil mixing ATF & Acetone, shoulda marketed that stuff proper alchemy better than anything I've ever used from a can lol

[@Tornado_Dave]

Yes I think of I had left it for a longer time with some fluids in here I could of possibly got it working, probably really was I couldn’t put the long pole on the front of the engine so thought it would be quicker to take the head off 😀

[@brader901]

I actually love this. This is full on me, absolute junkyard mechanic. My Moto... Persistence in mechanics always wins!

Sounds better with no exhaust just have the smoke out the manifolds like a Spitfire, maybe even do v8 conversion that would sound good v8 dumper!

[@Tornado_Dave]

That would be cool! Maybe I should do that with the old 3cx 😂

[@DavidLee-yu7yz]

When I started watching this video, I had Peter Green's 'Oh Well' playing in my head as background music ;-), could be your theme tune if copywrite allowed it, I do love the Project and I also Peter green's Fleetwood |Mac is one of my favourites, sorry to go off topic but I am in a happy mood, and now to continue watching. D

[@Tornado_Dave]

Yes it’s just a shame you can’t put decent music on the videos 😀

[@PhilG0BVD]

Found that absolutely fascinating such knowledge and skill, brilliant video

[@Tornado_Dave]

Glad you like it, would be classed as very rough by most mechanics but it worked 😂

[@ludwigvanmulders1730]

That’s dumper is a bute, old school mechanical simple parts. A little bit of love and there’s plenty life left in her yet.

[@Tornado_Dave]

Yes I need to get all the other jobs done then she will be ready for the big dig 😀

[@paulwatts1963]

brilliant work 💯

[@deankdx]

That looked more fun and easier than swapping the engine, well done

[@Tornado_Dave]

Yes much more rewarding, I can’t believe how nice it ran afterwards 😀

[@dmd733]

This man Really Is a 'jack of all trades' !

[@Tornado_Dave]

It’s basic survival skills when you live in a yard for 20 plus years 😂

[@zuhlenhuth]

Is there a way to restore the rust and such on the dumper to make it shiny and new looking? I think there's a huge KZbin audience for restoration style videos like that

[@Tornado_Dave]

I’m sure there would be but currently I’ve got a big hole to start digging soon so for now I will be doing the basics 😀

[@PorkChop369]

I’ve learned some useful man stuff cheers

[@Tornado_Dave]

Good to hear 😀

Absolute mad lad

[@Tornado_Dave]

Can’t believe how well it works now 😂

[@ChrisP978]

You're no Allen Millyard but it's certainly entertaining watching things get bodged together.

[@Tornado_Dave]

I genuinely didn’t think it would run so was doing everything as quick as possible just to prove I needed to swap the engine, was so surprised at the end how well it runs!

[@skipperstu9375]

Looks like an old Thwaites dumper, brilliant company for parts is David Cornwallis

[@Tornado_Dave]

It’s a Benford but I’m sure the parts are similar

[@skipperstu9375]

@Tornado_Dave completely missed the stickers on the side lol. Maybe L&S engineers or HTS spares then

Why's is called a "Sports Dumper"... Because its nimble, a sporty dumper?

[@Tornado_Dave]

Because the engine is about 5x more powerful and revs twice as much as the standard unit 😂

[@1sttperson]

I dunno about other people but yapping in engineering speak about and engine is kinda boring. I come for diggy hole not technical details. Watching you work with timelapses, maybe a bit of music. An overview of whats going on like the sheet metal stuff is good. Engine no workie, engine rusty, time-lapse, engine not rusty and workie. Move on. Anyway, not trying to complain just what i would personally prefer in case you care.

[@Tornado_Dave]

I understand completely, that’s why I named it how it was as I didn’t want people thinking it was directly connected with the dig, more people have liked this video than the normal tunnel videos per view but I understand it’s not for everyone and the next video is digging again 😀

@@Tornado_Dave I love such content, there is alot of cross-over between what You did to date and this video (DIY engineering, problem solving etc.).
