Love a tow hitch for avoiding bumper damage when bad people get too close to your rear bumper! Also it can save your bacon in multi storey car parks whoops!

The original Westfalia brackets had a little hole in the receiver bolt for an R pin.

I’ve got the detachable on the TD6, works fine. Although it might be seized in now, as I haven’t taken it out for a while. TDV8 hasn’t got a tow bar at the moment, I’ll just use the TD6 for towing.

I use one of those “rubber wheels” for removing decals/sticky adhesive pads, they work a treat!

The Autel AP200 is a brilliant bit of kit for the money to use with a smartphone. It doesn’t do much in the way of programming, but it did cure my stop/start on my Discovery Sport, which the iCarsoft scanner failed to do and it gives proper codes with the 2 digit suffix, which again the iCarsoft fails to do. If you want programming then a more expensive Autel 908 is probably the way to go, but the iiD tool may be worth a look as well or the Lynx. I’ve been really impressed with the Autel and It’s saved me £££’s. Keeping my eye on my oil dilution with it!

Thanks Sam. Looking forward to the ODB 2 scanner episode. I've been looking into those myself and IMO are an essential bit of kit if you own an old Rangey. Keep up the good work. PEACE\/

Good timing, just bought my first L322 4.4tdv8 and the same strip on mine is knackered. Gloss black ordered from powerfuluk a couple of days ago. Looking forward to fitting it.

Powerful UK. Very handy company and these had many of my £’s 😂

Exciting times...? C'mon, spill the beans!?! You can improve the look of your Rangie 1000% ...... the number plate screws are rusty and exposed...... NO......! Get some new plastic cover thingy's..... it's all in the detail, I promise you!. Great vid, ty

Where have you gone Sam?

Get some stove black paint on the exhaust back box. Makes it look 100% better 👍😎

another good update Sam - well done. A plea - new screws and caps on the number plate screws would really help my OCD and make the car's rear end look pukka

Nice one Sam. Will have to get a new silvwr strip for mine at some point. Great you had the westfalia tow kit, mine didn't have that so had a TowTrust detachable fitted a couple of weeks back. Also waiting on new compressor for my AC, due in end of the month!! Cant wait to have AC. Cooled seats have helped though 👍. Also had ARBs replaced front and back, front upper and lower control arms and drop links. This week had rear arch liners out cleaned all dirt. Aquasteel rust prevention applied to areas needed then Lanoguard applied. 👍 Awaiting delivery of new arch liner fixings and weatherstrip before reassembly. Got a weatherstrip for front part of the rear arch as well, as not fitted from factory. Might have to do a video on all this. Lol. Look forward to the next one.

Hi just to say really enjoy the channel it has given me confidence with RRS HSE 2013 keep up the great contend I love my RRS first one I’ve had .The only vehicle and don’t laugh I’ve ever really bonded with since my ST220 and I’ve had a few vehicles in between before my RRS .My partner says I think more of the RRS than her !!!!!! I mean as if lol

Looking forward to the future updates, you've got plenty lined up for us all. Great stuff!

Good update Sam! I’ve also got the same hitch and I find it much better than the old quick release one!

I have a different set up with the tow bar on Range Rover Sport 2008... Only takes the original LR towbar

Hey Sam, I think our TDV8s were separated at birth. Our alternators went around the same time and we both have no a.c., but I do have now. The O ring was split right at the top easiest connector to get at just behind the grill. Gassed it and nothing. The guy told me the valve that goes in and out of the compressor has three O rings, that and the solenoid get jammed up. So over a few days I flicked the AC button on and off on the climate control and hey presto, AC like a Rangie should be, you could hang meat in it. I hope it works for you since I've heard changing the compressor is a heart breaker. Cheers from Ireland..

Keep up the good work Sam , absolutely love you videos 🙌🏻

Need more Vid’s Sam, incoming purchase is going to need all the help it can get 😳

My dad recently brought an iid tool for his discovery before that we were using an icarsoft

The land rover mushroom cloud was just brilliant 😂😁

Hi Sam's Motor & Machine I am Japanese I'm sorry if the words are wrong I'm always looking forward to watching the video I want to see L322 cooling system draining, filling and bleeding Please make a video Thank you

14:50 random applause in the background :D

Is it worth treating the paint to a ceramic coating at this stage?

Hope everythings ok mate? Missing your uploads.

Have you looked at how fast the air compressor fills the dampers? On my vogue i have an issue now wich causes the car to only drive in normal heigt after having done some sharp turns. When this occurs i feel as if the car is some what stiff. Im hoping to fix thix with the new Arnott compressor ive bougt. But ive read that one can buy kits in the UK with air drying material and o-rings also a new suppressor witch could salve some air suspension problems. Try to borrow a compressor and see what happens is my advice.

That hitch from Land Rover was never bolted in. There was a pin with a clip that was used to secure it. The drop hitch was kept in a bag in the boot of the car with a rubber bung that goes into the receiver underneath the car. Is the one you bought genuine? Ours never needed that much effort to get it into the receiver.

Good video. I am about to buy detachable tow hitch for RR sport 2011

Sam, can you describe the setup you use for getting the suds on your Rover? Is it all hooked up to a garden hose or are you using a pressure washer somehow?

Hi Sam , How the Rangey going? Surely you haven't went 2 months without any work . Miss the updates.

Is that a factor roof rack on the Rover? Hard to find used.

Trailer hitch to flange assuming m16 bolts I believe is 252Nm

2002-2009 suspension on L322s is great, go for it.

What is the name of the store you purchased this item from?

I am surprised that the hitch is held with a single fixing, from an engineering point of view 2 retaining bolts is safer.

#SamsMotorMachine I’ve got an l322 and since changing the battery the deployable side steps aren’t deploying. Also getting “mecha error” from the in car DVD player. Wondering if you could share some wisdom

My 2011 is nice and compliant over the bumps. What shocks did you fit? One of my rear ones is leaking and I need to order a new set. Thinking about the Arnott ones.

What is the flower 🌺 thing on the front grill?

Sweet vid. My new to me '08 rides better than my dads '10 L322. Keep it up.

hi sam!! Can you tell me the silver part number? look nice~~

you put the tow hitch on upside down

I can't wash my RR in front of the house, the fine is 2000 euro in Germany.Well Done Mate.

So what do you think is the final cost to getting this to spec?

With your next job on the air con, my 2011 does the same, sometimes works sometimes doesnt, but ive noticed the voltage it is using is extremely high and this is draining the battery when I have it turned on. not sure if that is linked to your problem.

Due to pick up an L322 4.4 V8 next week and want to fit the same tow hitch. Where did you source this from? Thanks.

Hi Sam. May be taking the plunge on one imminently... just wondering, now you've had a bit of time with her, what sort of mpg you get on a steady run? Also.... did you have to code the tow bar set-up to the car, or was your's already installed? (The one I'm looking at has no tow prep at all).

Wheres the mx5?

When’s the next vid!!

9:20 ‘torque to spec’

Try WD40 to remove that glue, try searching for other uses, very versatile.

Wwwwhhhhooooot....I'm just imagining such a car wash with foam on the open road in front of my house in Germany on my Ranger....😂 Within 5 minutes, the police, special task force, fire brigade, ultra green hippies and all concerned or rather curious neighbors would have surrounded me and taken me away and I would have a criminal complaint of several thousand euros on my neck because of the "environmental pollution" 😂😂😂😂

Need yellow and black clips on your rusty number plate screws pal, pennies

How come there not been any Videos for over 5 months now

How have you found the coopers? I am about to get a set for my L322.

Link to the tow receiver?

Hi, very nice job, can you tell me what is the body color of the car black Java or else? Thank you

#Sam’sMotorMachine Would you be willing to help out a fellow L322 3.6 tdv8 owner out and helping me sort this issue out. I could come up to you at your convenience

I drive a L322 2009 325k km No toe hitch ..never liked tjem.bc here in the states makes you like a boat wanker .. land roving is what we do. Mine is Santorini blk .. Previous riding the Rocky Mountains..now riding the Sonoran desert 🏜

You should make another gta San Andreas video.
