That chassis has more corrosion than my 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee. My MOT garage has remarked how bad Range Rovers are on corrosion especially when compared to Jeeps.
I guess that depends where you live ..my 05 sport has no rust at all above or below ..as seen from this video thete is no rust on this chasis either ...re play it or show your mot guy this vid and he will agree!
Could you providing the Time-Stamp for this Video, where you are seeing Corrosion? I am keen to understanding what your Eye is noting where I find none. Cheers.
I like the just normal way of filming, no crazy edits, no fancy stuff , just pure knowlage and simple explanations on how you are repairing this beauty, looking forward to the next video 👍🏻
You're like a breath of fresh air on RU-vid 🎊 finally a car related channel without the fakery and the frills for views... Just actual good car content that makes you sit waiting for that notification for the next one 😂😂 love it
I never knew anything about mechanics until I watched this, for some reason I’m three episodes in and loving it! You’re a really good teacher, very entertaining and good at explaining 👏🏽
Nice to see someone actually taken the time to see if a car's engine is repairable than just to chuck it away. You're a man of my own heart. Top work bud love the video's.
Absolutely outstanding work your doing there Rob. You have built yourself up very quick with these videos. Keep up the good work and i eagerly await the next video 👍🏾
I stumbled upon on this series... And now addicted to the content! Absolute gem with all the knowledge, no faff, no music..just simple and great content... Many thanks!
I am hooked - I don't think I have ever learnt so much about engines, practical spannering and diagnosing broken bits in such a short period of time! Thank you very much for this SR UK.
Fantastic work and dedication. If only I had this sort of technology in my days to share my knowledge with millions , only people saw us in action was the BTEC apprentice during early 90’s. Used to do Lotus/Jaguars, never had the luxury of online forums or anything, remember Halfords used to do manuals but that never came handy😜. It’s nice to see you taking things down to bare nuts & bolts, best way to do a rebuild. Good luck and thanks for sharing.
I have a 2013 sport that is still solid as s tank but if I ever need something like this done, I'm sure I could do it now. Thanks for doing this. Not only is it informative but also calming to watch what a knowledgeable mechanic does.
Well you learn something new everyday. I never knew that you could take such a modern car off the chassis like that, it was really interesting to watch. Can't wait to see it running.
I love this, radio on in the background and you have a “Friend” helping you! How times have changed! Well done for doing this motor twice and the progress you’ve made in a few years! Keep it up 👍
This is just a nice, wholesome channel showing determination, dedication and honest graft! The fact that swearing is banned in the comments is a massive plus for me. Great channel, hope the build works out!
With the body off it would be a waste of an opportunity not to steam / pressure wash the chassis and engine / gearbox when finished. There will be some corrosion as we salt our roads and a good clean will show you where you need to fix that. Really good videos and as an ex Scania HGV fitter I like the methodical way you work. I am the same but I blame my OCD ...lol Just a gentle tip if I may? Maybe not get the camera so close to items while moving about and find a distance that works as you scan round (slowly). Remember you being up close have spacial awareness the viewer doesn't. Of course show the key parts as you did with body mountings but keep the camera still and point things out with your hand. (Sorry used to train people). Just a suggestion to improve what is already a really interesting channel.
I’m sitting here on a Saturday night so impressed!!! I’d love to be as clever as you. I know absolutely nothing about cars. I need to do a week with you.
Looking good Rob. Great to see you dont need to swap the motor keep up the good work , loving the no nonsense approach to the body off .People I know in the trade often say, ( Oh its a body off job) !! you just shattered the myth and made a no nonsense vid on how its done . Looking forward to pt 4
Wife:are we going out tomorrow? Me : no Wife:the day after? Me:i don't think so we have a busy weekend Wife:why? Me: i was patiently waiting for salvage rebuilds UK to finish working on that ferrari all week now! Most importantly the cab is finally off !we checking the back of the engine ,pumps, valves &stuff and hopefully we have to decide either to rebuilt or look for another engine . Wife: sounds like a lot of work,let me bring some scones and tea. Me: 😃
Absolutely brilliant. Don't have a clue in regards to fixing cars but have a big interest in watching things like this. Keep us updated with the costs, and profit margins too at the end. Great job again
Really enjoy your channel mate only found it through your range rover video which was recommended to me. It's nice to watch a channel that isn't all acted or exaggerated your just a good honest positive bloke! Keep up the great vids you should get your self a tripod :)
Lovely videos, very informative and no swearing. I’m staggered of the amount of work that goes into the mechanics and indeed your amazing knowledge, sheer genius. I’m not remotely mechanically minded nor a DIY feller either, I have a tool box but breakout in a nervous rash if I go anywhere near it. Keep them coming, you must have an understanding partner!
I know nothing about engines, but have found all of this very fascinating. I think it's because of the way you explain everything so clearly. Very very interesting and you sound like a really nice bloke. Looking forward to the next part and hope things keep going smoothly. You really earn every single penny you make. Amazing work.
Love this work and your presentation is down to earth, genuine and very knowlegeable. Best car related vids on youtube. No shouty americans, no over excited rich boys. Keep them coming and many thanks.
Absolutely loving the videos. The knowledge you have is unbelievable! To notice cracks etc from just sound of the valve.... most garages probably wouldn’t of noticed and would’ve shoved it all back in regardless. Keep going with the videos they’re very informative and always a great watch! 👍🏻
Only recently found this. Liked, subscribed and looking forward to part 4. Fascinating how simply the cab came away. Whenever I try and do anything to cars it all turns to chaos as parts are seized etc
Found your channel the other day Rob - LOVING IT! 😀👍 The passion you have for any car, be it a cheap little runaround or a high end supercar is fantastic. Also love how you’re just as happy throwing a bucket of water over a car as you are going full on like lifting a cab and rebuilding an engine. Top man and well done building your channel 👌
Very good, quite brave tackling a cab off . What folk forget is that 95% of cars are assembled from a bare shell to a finished product in under 20 minutes. It’s just getting them apart in the right order is the conundrum and time consuming bit.
Im in awe of your knowledge and intelligence which make you able to take on a challenge like this. Im by no means a mechanic nor am i a car enthusiast but this is easily one of the most interesting series of videos I’m watching on youtube
Its good to see your repairing an engine, instead what is normally done, throw the old unit away and put a new on in, i worked in a rover wholesaler for 15+ years of which the last five they didn't repair any engines or gearboxes , just fit new or exchange
I literally have no knowledge of the technical side of cars, just love driving them, yet I have just watched this entire video and listened to all the technical talk eagerly! Great channel mate, keep it up!
Great vid mate, I've watched samcrac for a while but enjoy seeing it in the UK even more. The attention to detail is great and I'm sure will help you sell the cars at the back end as well as potential buyers can see the work that's been done.
Your videos are great love how daunting it sounded to remove body but then turned out straight forward cant wait until u start her up fantastic keep it up
Great insight into Land Rover fittings , i have previously ignored these models as being over complecated , very impressed with your methodical approach to repairs . Top job .
I’m a new subscriber and am loving your videos. I’ve started watching your videos from when you began making them and have caught up to now. What a great channel this is. 👌🏻👌🏻
I like the down to earth way you explain the steps and tips tricks etc ...ive been fixing cars since i fixed my dads van thermometer age 12 ....im now 56 but have never owned a high end car so its nice to see its just nuts and bolts Ferrari or Fiesta....👍
just came across your channel by chance. The knowledge you've got and the way how you explain things, i can see this channel being a popular channel. Nice one!
15:01 that oil pump design was the engine killer version as it was weaker around the timing belt tensioner support boss. Later versions of the oil pump housing had more support webbing in the casting. = Stronger.
Many people would have given-up on that engine. I thought that (because you found some of the Rocker Shaft bolts loose), there may be internal thread distortion on the Alloy Head. Those bolts are high tensile, and would take a lot of force to 'stretch' them to the point of slackness. I would be extremely careful re-torquing down. Internal threads may pull - out, but then there are heli-coils! not many people would bring the RR back to life, so great work. Greetings from Australia.
Hi Rob, I’m new here, I’m so hooked on your channel. I’m in a comfortable armchair and yet I’m with you in your garage. Absolutely incredible talented guy. You make it look so easy and I know it’s not. Thank you so much. Peter
Brilliant part 3 I had no idea that these bodies came off so easy, I've done a diesel pump and belt change on one of these engines in situ and it's a right pain. You almost got away with the valves touching.
Thanks for this I found it educational especially on the valve rod testing now I'm going to do the same on my project 👍keep up the great work and great content.
Good down to earth content, about the right amount of detail too. I think this is the kind of content car.people want to see, not just reviews of cars etc.
Excellent skills ! I’ve always avoided RR’s because of the necessity of a “body off” job. Your confidence and hard work is inspiring - my late Dad (RAF trained mechanic) would be as impressed as me with this 👍
That's brilliant news that it's definitely rebuildable! I'm liking the body off/head action mate glad it's only a few valves and the oil pump. I wont swear anymore if I have in any comments I've put on your vids sorry about that if I have, to be honest it would take less time to write if we all left the swear words out and we'd have a cleaner world for the kids.
You look and sound very clues up on engines I know absolutely nothing at all but find your videos very fascinating and love watching them Well done hope the range works out 💪
