May I firstly say how much I enjoy all your projects and then go on to be cheeky and ask "how many of your customers ask for advice after purchasing your rebuilds?" I say "advice" as it seems unlikely that with the care you take with the actual work and the lengths you go to to make sure every detail of the history and the spares used there would be little cause for actual complaints. I must add , I can only watch you when my wife is available as she refuses to miss any episode. Until recently we have only been able to watch the actual video but not had access to the comments section so you won't have seen any comments from us before.

You took a big risk, when you pulled the spark plugs and saw water you knew it would be bad, but maybe not this bad, maybe a cracked head or gasket. Even a used engine will be expensive and risky considering the awful design flaws.

When did it really go wrong for Range Rovers? They were great vehicles back in the 70's and 80s, and were easily fixed, i personally wouldn't buy one, I've only ever bought Mitsubishi Shogun's and currently driving a 2011 LWB model, 166k in the clock and doesn't miss a beat, everything works and starts first time, every time.

I was told the Ghost immobiliser can be set up in two ways, gearbox lockout, where the engine starts but it cuts out when the car is put into gear, the Ghost in my wifes Freelander 2 does this. Engine lockout where the engine won't crank, which is how my F-Pace SVR is set up.

that is the mentality of a range rover driver, temp gauge in the red, keep your foot down till it stops... then blame someone else, + stop paying the finance... never seen a block melt away from a liner that badly, it must of been literally glowing red hot just order an engine from the docks, there is loads going through there every day, fresh from someone's drive in london... keep it up chaps

Years ago I saw an engine failure in a Commer truck. At first viewing it looked as though it had a perfect original casting galley between two cylinders. You have to realise that cylinders should note have a channel like that, so perfectly had the passage been carved out. Once spotted it was obvious and never to be missed again. As for why the Range Rover cylinder block let go like that, perhaps over over stressing, or weak original casting, but does it matter now? It is toast and fit only for recycling.

That JLR V8 is a pretty solid engine. Being a finance repo it smells to me that something has been done on purpose to cook the engine.

@bigjml 2 күн бұрын

I can see your perspective But the coolant leak under the supercharger makes me think it was just bad luck and an owner who keeps on driving till it stops. A footballer did that with his nearly new AMG after a stone did their radiator. Engine was cooked and Merc refused the Warranty repair Namz Boost rebuilt it last year
