I buy expensive, cool cars cheaply that no one wants anymore and do my best, with no knowledge whatsoever, to bring them back on the road and enjoy them once more.
I work on a sloped driveway and must deal with UK weather, so it is challenging to be normal and use the traditional method of working on cars like everyone else.
I hope you can learn and be inspired by my experience or at least find my videos entertaining!

WHY WOULD SOMEONE TRY TO SELL THIS PORSCHE BOXSTER 986
MAJOR SERVICE PORSCHE BOXSTER After discovering a coolant leak in the previous video on my Porsche Boxster 986, I refurbished and serviced most of the engine gaskets and parts.
I flushed the power steering fluid and replaced it with a new one, as well as the O-ring. Then, I replaced the air filter, drained the oil and replaced the oil filter. Then, I put in new oil and a new washer, completed the spark tubes with a twist, and went for a drive to test the car.

Grate job bro
Thanks so much! Thank you for watching! 👍🏻😃
Belated THANKS! Bought a Jag XF same thing. Your video is wonderfully clear.
Came here to find out how to unplug the cable connector to the rain sensor. Gonna ask if the driving camera mounted on the mirror is a factory one or aftermarket?
Do you have issues of it connecting to phone when you are in the house very annoying. Disconnect and will reconnect does this about every other day seems my iPod connector has constant power
I love you men it's so straightforward u have saved me lots of money thank you 😊
Thank you so much for this brilliant comment!❤️ I'm so glad I could help you! Thanks for watching the video and your support! 😃
Love this video. It helps me a lot because I'm going to see the car tomorrow, and it is the best L322 buying guides I have ever seen. 😃
Hi Bruce, thanks so much for the feedback, I'm really glad this video was helpful to you!😃 Good luck tomorrow, and keep us updated if you end up buying the car, and remember to put "battery replacement" as the first thing on your TO DO list! And keep some spare cash to replace most of the fluids in the car, to bring it back to fresh condition, since it's an older car. Keep in touch! 👍🏻😊
Hi have done bedding vehicle stopped properly and released within minutes but still getting error park brake unavailable vehicle stopping while bedding properly is my epb accuator working properly.
Hi, since it's stopping it sounds like it's stopping properly but you're getting an error which I've not seen on my dashboard before so perhaps you might need to go and get it checked. Maybe the brakes are grabbing from one side only, not from both sides. Hope you manage to get it fixed! 👍🏻😊
0W20 Top Tec 6200 Engine Oil
I have not tried it, I'm not familiar with this engine oil!
A lot of information, thanks. Is the air suspension recalibration module on the Kingbolen a standard feature or one of the subscription modules? Thanks again.
Hi Michael, I did a bit more research about it. This Kingbolen model cannot calibrate the suspension for this specific car model that I have, so I would look into getting the GAP IID Tool instead. I made a video here about the GAP tool and what you can do with it - ua-cam.com/video/LoSgF2QNKSM/v-deo.html Thanks for watching the video and for your positive feedback! 👍🏻
@@lifeasusual Thanks for coming back. I've checked with Kingbolen and for the benefit of others. The Ediag does include air suspension calibration for certain LR cars. My L320 RRS is included so that takes in L320 2005-2013. I'd GUESS that LR3 2004-2014 is also therefore covered but check with Kingbolen via their website. They were quick to respond. After the first free year, annual licence renewal is $90. Given that the Ediag covers 150+ cars, and doesn't VIN lock like the IID, seems to me to be a great option.
That sounds great! Thanks for sharing the knowledge here. 👍🏻 If it works for your car, then you might want to have a look at their full version because this was the Kingbolen Mini model. The full version will give you access to more features.
@@lifeasusual Yeah it was the full Ediag version, not the mini.
hello @life As usual... I have a 2012 l322 but the beep beep sounds like that of a motorcycle, it doesn't sound like yours or the typical BMW one. Do you know if there is any extra activation for that type of beep beep or do you know where it is located? the siren, also the ultrasonic sensor does not activate. I hope you can help me and thank you for creating your videos, they are honestly very helpful, thank you and have a good day...
Hi! 👋🏻 We used the GAP IID Tool to program the sound, and this is the video where I explain about the tool, and what you can do with it - I hope it helps! ua-cam.com/video/LoSgF2QNKSM/v-deo.html Thank you so much for your positive feedback, I'm extremely happy that you're finding them valuable! Have a great day! 😁
@@lifeasusual Thank you, I watched the video you recommended and it was very helpful. Thank you for taking the time to respond, I hope you continue helping us with your videos. greetings
That's really great, I'm very glad it helped! 👍🏻 Definitely I will be making more videos! More will be coming soon, and the videos are being prepared in the background - so stay tuned! 😃
Why the tarp on the driveway?
If you have a look at our previous videos, we were working on different projects on the car, with oil leak. 👍🏻
These specification labels are a scam to drive revenue. I think you did good. Since I'm out of warranty, I'm not even using an oil that has the Land Rover Spec. I have a gas SCV6 that requires the older STJLR.51.5122 spec. Can't find an oil on the shelf ANYWHERE that has JLR spec, old or new. Interestingly, Mobile 1 has an oil that used to have this spec but did not renew their JLR certification, so the spec has since been removed from the bottle. Since I can buy it locally and my engine has not changed, nor the oil for the worse, I just buy Mobile 1 ESP X2 0w20 for my car. Half the price of Castrol, performs well, and readily available. Check this quick vid showing the spec from 7 years ago ua-cam.com/video/fEa1rPS_mi4/v-deo.html
Yeah, I totally agree with you! I noticed that I've not had any issues since I changed my oil brand, and the car is running absolutely fine. I've not noticed anything different, as long as it matches the same oil specification and I change my oil regularly. Thanks for watching the video and for the feedback! 👍🏻
good vid
Thanks for watching, I'm really glad you enjoyed it and found it valuable! 👍🏻
Hi Everyone So just purchased a Land Rover discovery sport and it needed diesel, so when getting to the gas station, I tried putting in diesel but the fuel nozzle does not fit into the hole, so couldnt add diesel, it literally fits in half way but not properly because the two pieces of metal that should move or flap when the fuel nozzle enters didn’t move at all! Hope I explained this right I’ve added a photo and video if it helps anyone solve this crisis for me please! Any feedback or anyone had similar problems that can help would be appreciated
Hi! I've not had any issues like that, are you referring to the yellow flap from this video?
Too much unnecessary talk … pls focus on ur task
Hahaha 😅 Next time! 👍🏻
might be worth gettin a longer breaker bar
Yes, 100% that's on my to-buy list!
love the channel, keep it up
Thank you so much, I'm really glad you're enjoying the videos! 👍🏻
Instead of saying “there’s 4 screws in total or what the last owner left” much more useful to say what size bolt
Next time! 👍🏻
Did it solve the issue?
Hi Billy, yes, it helped! It wasn't a big deal from the beginning, you'd have to focus to hear the sound, but after it was flushed properly (with the green fluid, we made a newer video here: ua-cam.com/video/skiOyfbEOtE/v-deo.html ) the sound was completely gone. 👍🏻
Máquina!
Siii!! 👍🏻😁
Keep it up mate
Thank you Edgar! Will do! 👍🏻Thank you for your support!
How much is that tool
Hi, I've put the GAP IID link in the description of the video. 👍🏻 You can check it out as the prices keep changing. If that's too expensive, then you can buy a second-hand one online.
This oil specification thing is an absolute nightmare, I have been trying to buy oil for a LR Defender transfer box, but it appears to be unavailable in France, looking at the spec there is nothing equivalent to it, I now have to do an oil change on my L322, soo I had better start researching into that, I also find that modern oils have a sell by date on them ? Quite why that should be is also a thing I need to look in to. I do wonder if all these quoted oil references are to lock us into going to a main dealer for service. Stay safe! Chris B.
Hi Chris, this is why I don't believe in buying into the brand oil, rather it's finding the oil specification instead of paying a high price for the brand, and changing the oil very often (once every 6 months or 5,000 miles, whichever comes first).Hope you're well! 😊👍🏻
😅 i like it, Discovery 4 has similar functionality and some even better than the L322 😊
Thanks for watching, I'm glad you enjoyed the video! 😊👍🏻
Good day. There is s pretty simple solution for removing injector nr.4. You need to remove 2 pipes to get to the engine mount bolts. First one is metal one right under the intake manifold, then second , plastic pipe from turbocharger opens up. On both of them work will be done under the car and also from the engine compartment. Then you remove these two, you have to remove 8mm bolt which is holding the metal bracket, which is covering the mount bolt on the right. Then these jobs are done you can support the engine and undo two mount bolts. For lifting the right side of the engine I used a long piece of wood and supported it between gearbox and starter unit, there is a small triangle space in the subframe. Only centimetre or two is enough if you remove metal pipe from the injector. Hope this will be helpful. Vale.
Hi Vale, thank you so much for this! This was an older video of ours. We've paused the job on the injectors but we'll have to revisit it again if we have any issues in that area. 👍🏻
Hi guys I would like to manually increase the front suspension on my l320 at the front...can this be done by the gap mini that's £59?
Hi! No, you have to buy the GAP IID Tool (the expensive one) in order to be able to do that 👍🏻
Brilliant video thank you, by the way , so disconnect the black and leave for 15 minutes prior to disconnecting the red , to 12:08 allow srs system to deplete charge , or can spike srs ecu under centre consul ??? Any comments. Thanks for posting tutorials. Nyk
Hi Nyk, I've never had any issues removing black and then red immediately. But I'm not a professional so not everything I do is correct! 😅
It's fun to watch you, doing the same job right now. You and your wife seem to be very intelligent and friendly. Thank you for your video.
Thank you so much for the compliment, I'm glad you found our videos helpful! Good luck with your project, and let me know if you have any questions at all, and I'll do my best to answer to the best of my abilities 😊👍🏻
Really good report. Excellent work. Thanks.
Thank you very much, I'm glad you enjoyed the video and found it valuable! 👍🏻
Is this the same process for the sport?
I'm not too sure if I'm honest with you, as I haven't worked on a Range Rover Sport but they are more or less the same. 👍🏻
Which is the best reliable engine to get thannks
All of the engines are reliable, it depends how you treat them, service them and look after them.
why dont you use original parts ?, maybe part of the problem you are going through ?
That's exactly what I am using - all of my parts I used, I bought from Design 911 and I'm very unhappy about it because I was told they're either genuine or OEM which, in other words, it's the same supplier as the genuine parts.
Hi can you please call tell me how to set up my back lights on my 2010 Range Rover hse I do have the llDtool BT

How can i get answers of some of my queries related to l322
Feel free to ask me, and if it's something I can help you with, I definitely will! But I'm no expert in any way, shape or form 😊
How did you get it off in the end
Hi Sam, here's the video on how I did it: ua-cam.com/video/J9nGcGbJi2A/v-deo.html
If Gunk doesn't work, can you suggest something that works? thx
I found that using cheap, cheap laundry detergent on the oil for a few days, then jet-washing it has been the best method so far. I haven't found any alternative products but I can assure you, in my experience, that Gunk definitely did not work. Just to clarify, in this video I have not jet-washed it, yes I used the jet-wash but I was only using it as a water hose (as recommended on the instructions) because I wanted to see the actual chemical working, not the pressure washer. Hope this helps! 👍🏻
I have a 2010 Autobiography and noticed you no longer have the 6 pot Brembos. I guess your callipers were replaced with aftermarket. Also, how do you get the coolant to show in upper part of the tank by where the bleed screw is?
No, they are the genuine Land Rover brake calipers, but my engine is the 3.6 TDV8 Autobiography, not the 4.4. With regards to the coolant, if you have it at the correct level, it should automatically reach that point where you can see it, and it should be properly sealed. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching 👍🏻
I think you need a mic the ones that clips on your top esp when doing the test drive ( I love spending other peoples money 😂 ) welldone keep up the good work , look forward to future episodes
You're absolutely right, I do need a mic and I do HAVE a mic and I should've used it in that test drive, but I was so excited and stressed for that drive that I completely forgot about everything!!! I am a total unprofessional youtuber !! I need to do better! 😅 Every time I make a video, I forget about the camera and I focus on the car and excitement of working on the car, and I ignore all the aspects of camerawork and mic work. Which I shouldn't! Thanks for your support as always! 😊👍🏻

Thank you! And thank you for watching! 😊👍🏻
Nice one, Fahed & Alex. I never knew until now that you could access the front of the engine by taking a panel out behind the seats. That's pretty cool, mechanics and engineers can appreciate Porsche's design.
Thank you so much, Frank!👍🏻 Really glad you enjoyed the video! We didn't know either; this was completely new to us as well! Very interesting design for sure 👌🏻 And as you know, I'm not a mechanic so this is all new to me 😁 Hope you're doing well!
As much as I like these cars, this one is not worth saving. Boxster don’t usually suffer from rust issues, so yours having it is quite serious. Seems like it’s never been well looked after and even if you sorted all the smaller issues the rust will undo all your efforts.
It's only surface rust; I'm sure I can sort it out. I'm really looking forward to completing the project and see the end results! Thank you very much for watching🙂👍🏻
