THIS CHEAPEST L405 RANGE ROVER IS CHANGING MY LIFE

[@KenRobinsonCoach]

I love the passion of both you and your wife doing this together. Not only are you fixing a Range Rover, but you're building a stronger relationship with your wife, and that is priceless

[@azerty123-k8k]

100% agree

[@lifeasusual]

Thank you very much, Ken! I'm feeling very lucky and grateful for what I have, it's really a dream come true for me! 😊 And I'm very much looking forward to us going through this journey! 👍🏻

Enthusiasm and a willingness to learn each and every day are the key ingredients to success, and you sir have them in spades. I am very much looking forward to your progress and wish you the very best of luck. For reference I am the owner of a 22 year old L322 Td6 which I love to bits even though she drives me nuts at times and requires constant attention :)

[@lifeasusual]

Thank you so much for your support and positivity, Mark! 👍🏻I am grateful for you being part of this journey!! 😊 L322 are simply great cars, I love them! ❤️

Thanks for the support, Ethan, means a lot! We're very excited too!! 😁👍🏻

[@MarkNewbound-gu3oe]

So pleased for you. Your content has been great. As a DIY mechanic with am L322 you have inspired me to do my own intake gaskets.

[@lifeasusual]

Thank you so much, Mark, for watching our videos and for all the positive feedback!😊 Congratulations and good luck with the job if it's still in progress, let me know how it goes! 👍🏻

[@Salubrious101]

[@lifeasusual]

I love your attitude brother, you go for it 100% I have all my faith in you

[@lifeasusual]

Thank you so much Steve, this means so much!! I appreciate all your support! 👍🏻😊

[@NickFromScotland]

Excellent plan. Use only genuine parts for engine internals. New oil pump, new belts and chains new tensioners. Only use the best oil. Good luck and keep the videos coming. Also you could rent a little space to make some extra money. Office and garage. 10/10

[@lifeasusual]

Thanks for all the tips and advice, Nick! Good idea! 💡 More videos coming soon! 👍🏻

[@tomcampbell191]

I just finished the video. I was pretty certain you would rebuild it your self, but I was not expecting this level of passion, commitment and expense! As you Brits would say, I am “Over the Moon” for you and your family! From experience, I would recommend you consider hiring a helper/assistant to complete some of the tasks you have ahead of you. Not a mechanic, just someone to help with some of the heavy lifting. Maybe a teen interested in learning about JLR and earning a few pence? I think that would be a good idea and would add some safety to the shop.

[@lifeasusual]

Thank you so much for watching, Tom, and for all your support!! 😊 That's actually a good point, I may have to do that! 👍🏻 All the very best to you and your family and thank you for being part of this journey!

[@510bronson]

Best Decision ever this in my opinion will only lead to better content because now you have a proper workshop loads of KZbinrs going this route because it make perfect sense , I think 2025 will be the best year ever for you and your camera man (aka the mrs ) looking forward to watching and good luck to you and your family for the future !!

[@lifeasusual]

Thank you so much for your support, it means a lot!!🙏🏻 I'm really excited for this new chapter and I'm so grateful that you'll be part of this journey! Best wishes to you and your family! 😊

[@lindsaymillard2881]

You will probably find it a lot easier to lift the body off the chassis with the hoist which is recommended to work on the motor than trying to lift it out due to very limited room to access bolts.

[@lifeasusual]

Hi Lindsay, this is the L405 and it's a monocoque, the chassis does not separate from the body 👍🏻

[@lindsaymillard2881]

@lifeasusual bummer. Maybe drop the sub frame then.

You're living the dream mate

[@lifeasusual]

I'm feeling very grateful! 🙏🏻 Thank you for watching, Victor! All the best to you and your family! 😊

[@AlexLR]

Definitely worth a subscribe from me! Are you planning to remove the engine through the bonnet? If so I strongly recommend removing the whole drivetrain from below. It may sound more difficult but I assure you its not, that is how it was designed to be put together.

[@lifeasusual]

Hi Alex, welcome to our channel and thank you for watching!! 😊👍🏻I've looked into the workshop manual, and it recommends removing it from the top, so how come?

[@snookerturk]

Thank you 🙏

[@gtsussex3467]

Gutsy thing to do - you have a new subscriber. As a serial Land Rover owner, I would add that spending £20k on an L405 is absolutely no guarantee of walking away, especially with a TDV6 engine! Yes, you will end up spending more than you’ve budgeted. One of the comments from your last video hit the nail on the head - sounds like bearing shells. It’s a big job but from a content point of view, you could prove that with a little help, it’s actually doable. Having a garage actually makes it possible. Buying a secondhand engine is no guarantee if you’re planning on long term ownership. Best of luck however you decide to proceed. Oh and the engines can be made to last - I change oil at 5k miles without exception.

[@lifeasusual]

Thank you for watching and subscribing! 😊 I agree with everything you said, and the only way to know is for me to take the engine out and inspect it further, to understand exactly what happened and why did it go faulty. I look after my L322 Range Rover, and it's running great! 👍🏻

[@adrianjimenez3614]

Great that you did the math, is the £20,000 with dealer fees and finance

[@lifeasusual]

Thank you for watching, Adrian! 👍🏻 No, the £20,000 is just cash upfront.

[@adrianjimenez3614]

[@y2kazan868]

Love your channel, I want to ask you I have a 2012 L322 AB , I know it’s impossible to pin point a diagnoses but long story short, all the electronics were working before I took it to the shop for a cracked Fuel injector, it sat there for 5 weeks, when I got it back my mechanic said the battery died and locked the car. Little did i know the mirror puddle lights were working on and off after I picked it up and stopped completely 2 weeks later. As for the rear entertainment screens there’s a bit of a background light but that’s about it, they do not play anything. They don’t say error just blank dimmed light. One thing to mention is water got through the backup camera from snow just sitting there for weeks and that for certain doesn’t work anymore and all other fuses are fine. Some say check for loose wires under the seat, some say water could’ve gotten to some modules. Is an OBD tool a must in this situation Because there are zero KZbin videos about this to say the least. I really do appreciate any response to this. Happy new year.

[@lifeasusual]

Thank you for your support and positive feedback, Happy New Year! 😊 The GAP tool will definitely help you to find the problem but not necessarily to fix it. But then you have a starting point, and I've made a video about the GAP tool - here is the link for it, I hope it helps! kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqC2mHlohrN-ia8

[@stubbszee2515]

Seriously hope you pull this off mate I really do but you’re greener than grass if you think you will spend that little a price on parts from Landrover. Triple what ever you think. Most Landrover need everything coding now days so expect to spend what you have budgeted on parts just on diagnostics and coding. Like I said really hope it works out for you so going to subscribe just because of your passion for it and hopefully watch some good contents 👍
