Merry Christmas Sam!! Thanks for all the great videos and hope for many more to come! :)

Your adverts are ingenious and entertaining, Sam. (And I hate adverts.) Madison Avenue's loss is our gain.

I don't know if I'm here to watch the Grinch or the auto repair. BOTH!

Take a road trip on that thing see how far it goes till it blows

Sam should learn from you !

I like that he hasn’t bothered to pull it off the trailer

The M62 is most definitely NOT known to overheat or blow gaskets ... It's a great engine that will do stellar mileage requiring little other than oil changes

@@alfamaniacs these are not great engines or cars. From personal experience, I pity those who buy these cars used.

Only downfall to the m62 engine is the timing chain guides and that dumbass water cooled alternator, chain guide issue can be prevented by using synthetic oil and not keep the oil in there for 10k miles like a lot of people do.

If you fix the head gasket issue and install a new head bolt kit, Northstars are actually great engines for normal driving.

don't do it - FIX IT!

My RR classic still runs just fine, built in 1989. But I did use actual head gaskets when they rotted out, 10 years ago.

If this ain't the fuckin truth

ahhh man this had me rolling!

lmfao

😄👍🏾

Dude, this is the most underrated comment I have ever seen.. hilarious

exactly.

This guy is a mutt! Probably Trump's cousin!

I would love to have this car, a couple hundred dollars and a weeks time..... done!

I was saying the same thing. Only if he was going to keep it with the amout of miles on it you cant just do a head gasket because after pulling the heads upon inspection it may need a valve job and with that likd of mileage if he did a valve job it will increase compression and put a strain on the low end causing rings and or bearings to fail better off rebuilding it yourself.

You think he is going to pull the block apart?

One more time and I'm calling it quits, okay one more time and I'm calling it quits, okay one more time and I'm calling it quits, okay almost there lol.

They pay massive taxes and employees are like also like owners taking a big chunk of. the cake

Just use Honey?

That's what aftermarket parts are for. Sometimes better quality than OEM too.

Who pays massive taxes? Just because the dollar amount they pay might be a big number, it's still proportionate to a percentage of there sales. So saying they pay massive taxes shows they make massive sales and means nothing more than that. And what do you mean they're employees take a big chunk of the money. NO they don't. In fact most of their employees don't own any stock in the company. They're merely employees working for hourly wages. So don't talk out of your ass! If the mechanic at the dealership gets paid $30/hour that only shows that the dealer makes $100/hour. They don't lose money, no repair garage ever loses money. So to say the parts prices are high because they pay massive taxes and because the employees take a big piece of the cake is just stupid.

@@roberts5118 ok........ here is the truth...... MANUFACTURERS CUT CORNERS..... they use substandard materials and a lot of components with limited life, and they are ENGINEERED TO FAIL.... why else would a manufacturer (citroen) need new brake discs in the first 30,000 miles of vehicle ownership, just in time for the first UK government check? why else would they use plastic fittings on engines in high temprature and high vibration areas? and ADD to that..... they then charge EXTORTIONATE prices on these parts that bear no relation to cost price to produce or ship.....JUST BECAUSE THEY CAN...... you're not telling me that brake disks that are made in the tens of thousands and maybe even more, are costing 50 quid each? thats bullshit, they are not paying that, if they pay a pound each at manufacture its an expensive part....... truth is they CHARGE WHAT THEY THINK THEY CAN GET AWAY WITH NOT A REASONABLE PRICE.

So those steering columns had a 100% failure rate? I'm trying to learn so that I don't make this mistake.

@@DucatiPaso750 what to learn is: don't buy a used range rover lol

You could remove the fuse, solder in a remote switch and every time you turn off the car, flip the switch off and on.....

I tried that astral auto repair deal on mine..its not an exactly accurate fix and its a confusing video, I like to see him or another person re-do one on that topic.

what part of the steering column fails? wouldn't there be a way to fix the actual problem in the steering column instead of replacing it entirely?

The cost of a new head gasket is not that great. Well worth doing.

Usually not very far.

Well, the engine either get's totaled because of timing chain (which is rattling against the timing chain housing) rips aparts, or the engine throws a rod, or other stuff. The engine needs to be extracted, completely redone (flushing all sealant junk out, new gaskets, refinished heads, new chain, overhauled VANOS units, new Crankcase ventilation. In Parts around 2k or more, in labour about 2-3 depending how bad the engine is. Better solution: Buy a used good engine, replace there the chain and redo the vanos units, redo every seal, crankcase ventilation and stuff and you get a nice reliable engine (till the next timing chain need replacing or the automatic transmission fails).

canuckguy worried Merry Christmas to you too bro!

All they need is the dashboard for the lights!

Replace the head gaskets and have them blow again after two days because the heads or deck is/are warped, then after week it throws a rod because the bearings are toast from running with severely contaminated oil. An engine like this is not worth putting effort in. If the leak wasn't as bad you could fix it, but a leak this severe usually means complete rebuild because all other parts of the engine are in bad condition as well.

it will be warped. needs a block and head.

He can't replace a head gasket he can only do minor repairs.

On the cheap, flat surface+sandpaper=poor mans decking. I have done this on a 1.9 tdi head that slowly lost coolant from pressure escaping combustion chamber. It was my car, would not do this to anyone for money or free.

deWaardt The blocks almost NEVER need resurfacing; only the heads on these BMW V8’s. I speak from experience on this. You’re talking $150 or less to get the heads cut at a machine shop, and a couple hundred in gaskets, bolts, and incidentals. Shops tax you based on the BRAND. I work on BMW’s, I’m not speculating

He will sell it with his jerry-rigged repair and let someone else take care of the problem at a later date.

Plus, he has a vid sponsorship on just about ever vid he does. You’re right, doesn’t really matter if repairing the Rover is successful or not, as long is it creates content for the channel and that’s it’s entertaining which he usually is.

@@poiiihy Me too. A video series like this could be really useful to Sam's viewers. It will, quite probably, prove *something* about this type of "cheap fix".

Thats what an intelligent human being would've done already.

Yeah, it's not hard to replace the head gasket, just time consuming.

What is so frightening about a blown head gasket in a BMW engine? BTW, that BMW engine is much superior to most American engines of that era.

If you think this is bad, do a search for Doug DeMuro, Range Rover...

@@JasonSmith-ns1bi This is *not* bad. It is a blown head gasket, no more. Quite common really, as every mechanic has come across one or two in his time. He is trying to prevent the cost of replacing the gasket. So far he has spent a fortune on all sorts of liquids. It would have been better, and quicker, to have replaced the head gasket *immediately.* BTW, that BMW engine is a decent engine. But I think this is an exercise to see if the head gasket seal liquid works.

What on earth do you guys do to cars over there? I bet the poor thing has never been serviced or had an oil change. Although Hoovie usually buys those

@@Toby_the_Glen Where I live is crawling with Range Rovers, and has been for as long as I can remember. Not once have a I see one on a trailer or broken down at the side of the road. Up market Range Rovers, like all upmarket cars, need *servicing* at the correct intervals, using quality _fully synthetic_ oils and quality fuel. In short, look after them. Don't do it then this happens.

Joshua Vaughn. Stop kidding yourself it won't last five minutes, you might as well have put a plaster on it fit the good it will do.

I agree with you 100% ! I cannot watch n e more its making my eyes bleed !

People. We all know the head gasket is blown. He knows that. The point of this was to see how well (if at all) store bought sealers work.

Agreed this is getting painful to watch now

Matthew Twigg why would he want to lose revenue ?

You realize he bought this car as an example of car that seems like an amazing deal on the surface as he's often asked about such cars. He was very clear about that. So he's showing it's not and in the meantime is just trying to recoup the cost through ad revenue.

damn that's a good idea. i learn so much from the comment section of these videos.

I believe the entire point of this project was to see if the sealers would work. That's why he is putting so little money in to it. We all know that sealers don't typically work, but it is nice for someone to do a real life test and see what it does.

I just used it myself and it worked fine so stfu

@@HitManTPanda Go to a mechanic tell him that and he will slap you across your face.

B K Definitely. I have the older brother to the M62 Sam is working on, the M60. Basically the same engine. These V8s are suuupper easy to work on.

Ben Zimmerman Honestly, I think BMW’s are some of the easiest modern cars to work on. Very little in the way of extraneous vacuum lines, everything is straightforward, and relatively easy to get to, etc. Why people are so terrified of doing a simple head gasket job is beyond me.

B K Oh I 100% agree. As I right this comment, I’m finishing up a head gasket job on my E30. And I’m 19 lol. Not scary or hard once you know what needs to be done!

@@bz1mm BS, that M62 engine is a beast/bitch to work on. Just the valve covers alone are very difficult at best. I'm speaking from experience, yes, I have done it and I will never do it again. Best to pull the engine out and do all the work then.

Xavier Lemos was just about to say this. Maybe the m62 is easy in a bigger chassis but absolutely not easy to work on in the e39 5 series

What? How in the world?

@@richardserzy2376 it operates on the same frequency as simply safe so when u hold the talk button on the walkie talkie it interferes with simply safe

It's 100% about experimenting at this point. The car isn't worth putting any money into it, but a little money for science is kinda fun!

@@Samcrac plus it helps you get a decent amount of views and probably got all your money back from all the views, its going to be interesting to see what happens, I hope its something interesting

With all most a million Subcribers, the youtube money is going a long way to keeping him in oil and parts. I thought this would be a waste of time and money, it's not, it's youtube content and well I am clicking and watching.

This is what these series are about and what makes them interesting! I am very interested in how this turns out.

yup. this an experiment in one of the worst kind of head gasket failures... oil mixing with water to make gunk... and compression leaking into the cooling system. the average cost of a 5qt jug is $25... the oil has been changed, what, 3 or 4 times... so about $100 antifreeze is $13 to $18... again, 5 jugs... say $75 the stop leak, $50 for both... filters, hoses, clamps.... another $75 prob.... but it is entertaining...

He doesn't have a tiny coolant leak! He's spewing coolant out his tailpipe from a blown headgasket. A blown headgasket ISNT a coolant leak! It's 120lbs of compression leaking into the coolant system. A coolant leak is coolant leaking from hoses or connections with about 12-18lbs of pressure.

The Grinch that stole the head gasket!

More like "Fill the oil and fill up the gas tank" every time you pull into a gas station. They aren't known as gas guzzlers for nothing!

Lmao

i need more #18 fuses... five to a box - gimme 20 boxes! i go to make it home.

You have to wonder! Did the prior owner hate it so much he wanted to see if it would self destruct? He came pretty close! Imagine telling a dealer , fix everything on it! The labor alone would probably cost the value of a new car!

That's the best financial way to do it. Buy a car, maintain it well, then drive it until a major problem appears. My daily driver is 14 years old and has 277K, it costs maybe 1 grand each year in tires, maintenance, and minor repairs. If something major goes wrong, that's the end.

L.O.L. Really ???? How old are you, and how much experience with engines do you have ?? That's the same bullshit I was told when I suspected a blown head gasket or head from no less than THREE alleged, trained mechanics. L.O.L. First it was the radiators fault, then it was the thermatic fan, then it was the LPG injection, of course each one cost me big dollars to discover there was NOTHING WRONG WITH THEM, but to satisfy the ALLEGED mechanics, I had them checked out. The LPG injections system was the last straw, I told him to stop stuffing around and pull the bloody head off. I get phone call to come down and check out the head. LO and Behold, three bloody cracks in the head, so my not trained mechanical eye/experience was dead right from the get go. I discovered there are mechanics and there are people who claim to be mechanics. I gave the go ahead to replace the head with a new one specifying it must be a NISSAN head, I don't care the cost. A week later I get the car back, going great, go away for a few days and notice the temp gauge rising on the way home. Take car back, mechanic can't work out what the problem is, suggests the radiator is past it's use by date, despite the fact it was just cleaned out and given the all clear. Replaced radiator with larger radiator. Went away again and on arrival at destination, noticed car sounded like a V8. Sound got worse over duration, had to nurse car back home,. back to mechanic, head has dropped a valve I tell him. No way, he sez, the valve clearance has changed he sez. I sez, how can that happen when there are discs for valve clearance, the gap is impossible to change. He insists valve clearance changed and new discs will need to be ordered. Disc arrive and he cant fit them, no space. I tell him an old bush mechanic had looked at the car on my way home, he told me a valve or even two had dropped and were nor closing thus the sound. He also said it could be verified by placing hand on exhaust pipe and if hand is SUCKED in, clearly demonstrates valves are still open on downward stroke. Head had to come off, found no less than TWO valve guides had dropped, thereby preventing valves from closing. Very lucky pistons did not connect with valves. Sent head off to specialist to look at, who came up with the bright idea the head had been overheated. No shit sherlock. Therefore warranty void. After much heated discussion, turns out replacement head was not NISSAN head as I stipulated, but cheap Chinese knock off. I had searched the Net before hand, and was aware there was an issue with these heads of over heating due to inappropiate casting around the valves, and here was the evidence right in front of my eyes. I called him a bloody ignorant idiot and he could sue me for the money I owed him for his stuff up. Sold the car and never went back. But the whole experience leaves me cold. I went thru FIVE mechanics and they all had the same attitude, thought they knew it all, when they didn't know shit from shenola.
