Desperate times call for desperate measures... After being left stranded in Wales due to my Range Rover breaking down, I had only one real choice to make in order to make it home. So I bought a £1,000 Mercedes...

What I struggle to understand is how a LR specialist who produced a “to fix” list as part of their arrangement with your channel, and has been all over the underside of that vehicle to do the suspension failed to spot brake pipes that were about to go pop.

Those "been bags" are actually reusable moisture absorbers which are quite useful this time of the year,... in an old convertible... with a potential water leak or two ;-) Re; Range Rover Life, I do feel your pain Joel having owned a V8 RR myself. One thing that I remember the most from my 2.5 year ownership is they (Range Rovers) absolutely love the taste of your wallet on all accounts, not just the Go Go juice. You throw a bunch of parts at it and the following day the Range Rover decides it wants some more ... usually the expensive, main dealer only parts.

@jdrancho1864 2 жыл бұрын

Would not have known that. So the technical term would be 'desiccant bags', like the little inserts shippers put in boxes to suck up moisture from the air. A home-made way to do that is to fill a pair of old socks with kitty litter and stick them underneath the seats and in other areas of a car's interior.

@@timothydolk3606 only difference is the Phaeton W12 is naturally aspirated whereas the Conti GT/Flying Spud are twin turbo. Also, the pre VW Bentleys are very reliable, with a ludicrously understressed big-block pushrod V8 coupled to a General Motors automatic gearbox (Turbo 400/4L80E) which is commonly used in drag racing with up to 5000bhp being put through it... the later V8s used a VAG reworked version of the Bridgnorth big block, coupled to a ZF autobox (not quite as strong as the old GM box, but more ratios, better economy and still robust enough to withstand up to 1100Nm torque). Even since they discontinued the big V8, VAG has continued to employ its manufacturer, Grainger & Worrall, to do all their prototyping work. G&W also cast and build Koenigsegg's engines, which have to withstand extraordinarily high boost pressures and high RPM.

Having watched a few of your videos now I would think you would be better off tidying up the Mercedes and getting rid of the Range Rover before the next inevitable breakdown.

Just make sure the roof works, get it detailed and drive it some more! Those 3.2 V6 engines are bombproof and when tidied up they’re a real head turner in the summer with the roof down! I paid £1000 for mine and it came with a private reg which has since been valued at £400 so realistically only paid £600 but I’ve already spent a further £1500 on preventative maintenance, gearbox and coolant flush, springs all round, new sound system, upgraded lights all round, wheels refurbished and new tyres and an engine seal kit and spark plugs to do myself over the winter. Enjoy it mate, you won’t regret it 👍🏻😎

When I travel very long distances overseas I always make sure I have some cash set aside to buy a cheap runner in the event of a catastrophic breakdown, and actually UK is one of the cheapest counties to buy a basically ok cheap runner. People who live in the UK complain about road tax and insurance costs, but honestly UK is not bad for tax and insurance, and used cars are amongst the cheapest in the world. On the Range Rover, loss of fluid on one side at the rear should only bring down one brake circuit, the other should at least allow you to limp along at low speed with the ability to brake and stop. The pedal will go down an alarming long way, but it should still work. Brakes can fail on any car and are not at all unique to Range Rover, this is why MOT testers often fail brake pipes on the first sign of corrosion.

Its rather a cute car and red ! I think it's a bargain. I was looking st one in my area which is a 2008 benz clk 350 $10k hard top at 110k on the clock . These cars are becoming rare.
