These flood damaged cars must be a breath of fresh air for you Phil, after repairing the usual crash damaged vehicles. Great video, as always I enjoyed watching it❤.

You're not afraid of hard work Phil, great video.

Great job Phil looking forward to the next one😃

Well done Phil smashed another video out ! Keep em coming

I personally would have put some diesel or penetrating oil down the bores & left it a day or so due to it having water in the cylinders the piston rings may have rusted to the bores being as it's been sat around & giving it a soaking could have freed it of, maybe worth a thought for next time

Great job Phil 👊

I wouldn’t say It’s seized up at all seems that all you really need to do is lubricate the bores with some WD-40 and turn over the crank with a long extension bar also the batteries on salvage cars appear to be knackered when they are not they are just deeply discharged and sulphated you need to buy a de sulphiting recycling charger, The cost of the charger will be covered by one battery replacement savings!

The locking wheel nut tool should be under the boot floor in a pouch with the flat tyre kit and towing eye. At least that’s where it was in my 2020 Clubman. Probably was lifted out before you got it.

Jesus lad Ur fab skills are coming along rightly

Well done very interesting

Cheers mate

Love the content

One to avoid then, they seem to be easily damaged

Brilliant video, keep em coming

Great video and good content . Cheers Phil.

Great job Phil 👍

Inter cooler may be full of water . Would definitely clean that out . Great work

Balls of dung IMO, even when not flood damaged, but each to their own. First time I got into one & drove, I was stunned at the "Fans" - they are like dishwashers on wheels.

Good job your getting to know the minis now lol

Greetings from South Florida Phil. 1st, I really enjoy your videos since I've been fooling with cars for over 60 years. 2nd, where are you located in the UK? You always seem to have bad weather.

19.30 looks like your tools have been in water 💦

Nice one. Should make a great car with new engine.

Hi Phil, you are getting a dab hand at whipping these engines out of Minis👍 Be interesting to know how much these water damaged cars cost from Copart, and what do SH engines cost ? Other channels share this information and it all adds to the overall attraction of the channel. Get a heater mate, it’s going to snow next week! ☃️❄️⛄️

good old copart cars

Good content 👍👍

lower arms was the same when i got one from co part too, common thing to be extra damage from co part

You should have got a cheap can of oil and changed it before you tried to start it. Good video keep them coming.👍👍👍👍👍

Yes did enjoy the video phil you do a grand job :}

Hi , Phil would like to know how long that took you to get out ??? , only watched a yank guy do the same thing , this afternoon !! , but he took off the whole front off .... & he had the entire engine out in , 1 hr 45 mins , did it take you longer ?? .

We had a iveco tesco delivery van in at work this week, it had silt all over the engine and on the floor in the cab,23 plate needed a new chassis so just took the box off the back and bolted it onto a new chassis. Engine was completely shot.

Cheers Phil👍

Phil I've got a hat like that sitting in my garage. Got it from a neighbour who's from Moscow.😀

Petrols dont usually have sufficient compression to bend a rod they just hydralock. Diesels bend and shorten the rod causing a misfire. Stripping the engine would be informative to see the actual problem problem

Good luck pal 10 out of 10 for trying the old engine 😅

How did you get the wheel nuts off,without locking key?👍✅🍺

Phil - I restore damaged minis. Could you pls try rotate the crank, then maybe do a wee disassemble sump to show us the damage from water ingestion. It’s fatal on any engine. I had a C63 AMG Mercedes and they are prone to ingest because location of air intake and broke 1 rod and bent another plus 1 piston broken. 10,000 Quid later and all good to go.!

Unit looking empty nearly all the cars are gone

How much you be looking for when done

Copart down south must have had 100 plus flood damaged cars in a week 😮

Bent connecting rods

Hydrolocked

If flood damaged remove the plugs then turn it over....

Best thing for emmm load of sht cant be the originals

hi you never say what you pay for the

It's a nice car

Hiya

The suspense is killing me on what is actually wrong with the engine....other than there's been water in it. Bent valve, broken piston or rusty rings???

5:19 I'm back an I think it will be alright

Hello mate

13th

Can’t see much ,,can you put camera closer to engine so we can see what your doing and gods sake change that annoying music ….

Seized engine
