    Such a sad looking rangie. Glad you picked her up. It's a diesel but they are going up in value a bit since more and more ending on the yard. And being a DHSE in Epsom Green/sandstone leather helps. Also, the air compressor is electric don't need to rev it, just let it idling with access mode enabled the lowest setting and give the compressor time build pressure. If all bags are good and height sensors are healthy it should raise.

    • @paulsz6194
      @paulsz6194 2 роки тому

      The air suspension compressor is also known to fail, which gives you the impression that one air suspension airbag s faulty, but it’s just the air Compressor not having the strength to keep all four bags inflated.

    • @slammerf16
      @slammerf16 2 роки тому

      Open the tailgate or a door while the engine is idling and the pump is running - that'll give it time to charge the reservoir with the bags empty because EAS is disabled by a door/tailgate/bonnet open signal. A healthy pump should fill it up in about 8 minutes or so from nothing. Shut the door and watch her rise up in 1-2 seconds. Or not :)

  • @rralex7622
    @rralex7622 2 роки тому +1

    The noise is the cranckshaft damper pulley. For the suspension leave the door open untill the compressor fully builds pressure in the tank. However, those airsprings are probably shot and the compressor needs an overhaul. Great project, good luck!

    What a fantastic relic to find, great to see if breathe life again and I really think it will not be too shabby at all by the time it has had a decent wash, that rattle has to be a pulley or tensioner no way it is engine mechanical running that well, it wants to live!

  • @markmarot9026
    @markmarot9026 2 роки тому +1

    Guys, nice video. Few corrections. The bmw m51 engine has an electrockly regulated rotary injection pump. On bmw-s there is no supply pump only an one in the tank which levels the amount of fuel in the tank on both sides. Recently watched a video, a bloke in Ireland has tha same car, and the horrible sound was the crankshaft pulley. It is mad of 2 pieces seperated with a rubber padding to absorbe some vibrations. If it gets old, it seperates and makes this noise. Should be an easy fix. These engines are pretty good, but they are very eensitive to being revd when cold. The head can crack. So be jentle with it. Good luck, it will be an amaising youngtimer!

    This Range Rover is really good. Don't worry about spending money on it, you will get it all back with interest. Suggest you first sort out a correct battery. Clean it up as you do typically. The heater will not switch off! Push the fan knob to turn 'Auto' on then wind the temperature up/down using the buttons on each side of the display. There is a button on the right side of the display to turn the A/C off/on. Check the crank damper. If removing this you will have to remove the outside part of the water pump pulley first. The more you use this RR the better you two will like it!

    A few things that can be virtually guaranteed to go bad very soon if not already.
    1 diesel injection pump will need rebuilding, this will be evident by either diesel leaking when running or more likely hard to hot start.
    2 the center baffle in the main radiator is very likely rotted out so coolant will only flow across the top of the rad - overheating.
    3 perished airbags will lose air and cause the compressor to overheat/wear out the piston rings.
    4 sat nav drive will be dead (BMW unit straight swap and flash a lr boot picture)
    5 HVAC display missing segments and fan control dial. (These can usually be rebuilt)
    6 other air suspension faults

If you look at the UA-cam channel called Sam's Motor and Machine and look at his video entitled I found the cause of the noisy engine I think that will be helpful to you. Great video, these are massively underestimated cars. I have had one since 2001 and still do. Current one is most of the way through a restoration project.

    Can't wait to see the clean up on this one. Always a bonus when you can save an old car, good news that the suspension works, that will save you a small fortune.

    As always great video, especially when Chris realises he is recording lol. I’m 99.9% sure that noise is the crankshaft dampener, prone to failing when stood and not too bad a fix, be interesting to find out exactly what it is when you get round to it. That car will clean up lovely and doesn’t look like a lot of rust in it. Here is to looking forward to its first wash 🤞

    I love the way Rob was so confident of the brakes he stood behind the fence while Chris drove it up and down!! 🤣 Great car though, nothing beats old school mechanicals, basic tools and ............... Chris !!! another great video chaps.

    That sound sounds like the crank dampener to me Rob.
    Also the suspension fault is probably the air compressor, you can get rebuild kits for them👍

    I never figured out why the P38's got a name for being unreliable, I mean it's not like any other Land Rovers have ever got a name of being reliable. And how many more decades will it be before Land Rover can make a roof lining that stays up?

    Can't remember how much BMW was in these, but BMWs of the same vintage ran the heater on high when the resistor pack for the blower motor failed. This was a super common issue. On air suspension, you need to make sure you don't have any leaks, else the compressor will run constantly and it will burn out in short order. You can spray soapy water on all the air bags to check for leaks. When they sit a long time with the air bags deflated, they can form cracks on the creases.

    @grahamepigney8565 2 роки тому +1

    That M51 is pretty bombproof. As it is a turbo it will be a TDS.
    It was used in 3, 5 and 7 series between 1998 and 2001 in BMWs , Opel Omegas 2.5ds between 1995 and 2001 plus these Range Rovers from 1995 to 2001.
    A relatively simple engine, relaible and torquey.

    What a great find by Rob and Chris. I am almost certain that she will clean up very well indeed. You certainly don't see that many of that generation of Range Rovers about & I definitely would say " Suit's you Sir" to Chris as he looks @ home behind the wheel of the Range Rover. Here's to the next episode.

    When Chris floored it I thought you was going to need a new fence. 👍🏻 that noise is going to be something silly that’s had no oil and stuck. When you floor it the sound goes. That’s a classic great to see it not being scrapped 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

    I know you're the best at what you do guys, but give Wheeler Dealers P-38 Rangey, Season 8 Episode 3 a gander.(If you haven't already seen it). I know it won't teach you anything, but worth a watch anyway. For someone who's owned all sorts of Land Rovers over the years, I found it pretty informative
