Un-Pimping the £1000 Range Rover

- The £1000 Range Rover L322 I told my friend was a good idea so far has been...good! Now it needs an oil service, diagnose the dashboard lights and to de bling and get rid of the terrible stick on chrome!

The chrome add-ons were probably a cunning anti-theft device. Nobody would have stolen the car, they'd be too embarrassed to drive it.
Seriously though, why do people do this? It makes an elegant car look crass.
The whole front of this car original is quite distasteful to be honest.
@@rimmersbryggeri The early 322s were certainly better looking before the blingy front end was added during a facelift.
Probably because some people like chrome,me for one.just don't go to over the top I say.
When luxury cars become cheap beaters this happens
Tip for checking the oil on a diesel is to wipe the dip stick with your finger and then wipe your finger with a cloth. If your finger stays dirty you have too much carbon in the oil. Petrol engine is easy. If it smells of petrol it needs changing
You've inadvertently created a new game show "What's that Clonk?" 😂
Great series, love a de-bling. Always astonished people put that crap on a car stand back and think yeah looks better. Nope.
Radio code - go into a Land Rover dealer with the v5 and ID matching name on v5 and they'll usually just give it you.
Good tip - Im not used to manufacturers that still exist...
Best upgrade this L322 has had in years: removal of that awful bling! Hope you can get the RR all sorted out.
The low coolant warning will be the sensor in the expansion tank buy a complete tank to replace it not just the sensor as the float will be bad
I've had 5 Range Rovers over the years, all petrol. The last one P38 broke my spirit, all four suspension airbags replaced about £200 each at the time. Air suspension manifold block and several compressors but the thing that broke the camels back was the cylinder liners in the 4.6 V8 all came loose and moved. It turned out cheaper to get a used engine than put new top hat liners in. I sold it sharpish and bought a X5 4.8M but that's a different suicidal story 🤪
you were ripped off at £200 a bag,, i run a 38 and it has not been a problem if you treat it properly and maintain it on time/ mileage
Looks like Jase has a good buy there. I’m surprised on the MPG figures. Time will tell I guess. Certainly looks better with the bling off. Paint looks pretty good on the video. Will be good to see how it scrubs up with a detail.
Use Isopropyl alcohol to remove the glue, works really well.
petrol also works. Just don't smoke near it lol.
When I had my TD6 it would never scan as Land Rover, I used to manually add as E53 bmw x5 3.0d and then it would read all modules. That was with a top don scanner, since getting the 4.2 supercharged, that scans fine as LR.
Also after resetting the steering angle sensor left and right you normally have to drive a few yards for it to clear any lights.
However if ABS keeps coming up that’s the cause of the issues more than likely.
Also don’t forget to swap the crank breaker from the foam to cyclone type, lives in the top of the engine, rear, drivers side corner, remove scuttle panel central section (2 13 or 15mm bolts) then it slides out, that allows access to engine cover bolts.
"can you fix my Range Rover?" "No, but I can attempt to peel bits off using a hot air gun..."
Great little tinkering video Matt and Jason looks so much better without the bling, deffo have to get the wheels redone silver.
Removing the bling certainly gave this Range Rover its elite status back.
I’m looking forward to more content on it❤.
When I owned a 2cv, I used to change my oil at the Tip. I would park up then find an old container. Undo the sump plug, whilst the oil was draining I would get rid of my rubbish. When the oil had drained I would refit the sump plug then fill up the engine with new oil. And then dump the old oil in the dirty oil container. Job done! (if I had time I would have changed the oil filter too)😉.
I don’t think they’d let that go today with all the cameras and booked time slots!
@@furiousdriving The good old days 😅
The thing with the TDV8 Range Rover is it holds 10 litres of oil in the sump and has 2 drain plugs lol
A good job Matt, deal with the important things first, keeping the car running. Loosing the bling as the next priority was a must as you don't want to be pulled over every other traffic light. The error codes are always confusing as you mention as an electrical connection can cause a bundle of unrelated faults. Many thanks for sharing. This car has a lot of potential.
A great project for the channel and enjoying Jason's humour, keep going until it's mint and fixed guys 😊
Good project for the channel, plenty of great parts out there for a full refresh, especially the interior. I would change the wood to the dark walnut and lose the silver trim which dates and makes the interior look cheap.
There a Range Rover in the next village to me that is completely covered in Chrome bling, you have to see it to believe it!
Wayne Rover / Range Rooney spec!
Oh, I can believe it. I've seen some absolute horrors in my time. It's so obscene, it ought to incur the death penalty.
I was taught to drive in a short-wheelbase Landrover, whilst serving in the RAF. No gimmicks or 'bling' just the odd Squadron signage and camo paint!
Sticky stuff remover will make it easy work! I used it to get my number plate sticky pad goo! It’s £5.90 on Amazon.
@@pauljnight8620 70%+ ABV Vodka works well too but one might have to go to Eastern Europe to get it or know someone with a Still.
With the CAN stuff, can’t you from memory just tie into the high low signals from a working nearby module and then pin those into the CAN connectors on the module that isn’t getting signal?
I did a similar thing in my old E39s IBUS wires when the OBD port stopped working for INPA, just tied wires behind the cluster and re routed them into the port and hey presto!
Petrol would get that glue residue off. Or you could buy Goo Gone that’s good too.
Glad you were going on about these insane oil change intervals. No way is 20,000 miles right for oil changes. Personally I reckon a max of 5000 before oil changes. No wonder engines keep failing
If you want the oil specs you should go to the Total Energies lubrication guide it's usually very good for getting the right fluids and volumes. Som times I question the choice of power steering fluid but that may be because the one they recomment is of a newer spec than what is original to ancient cars
Get that GM gearbox rebuilt before it goes bang (and it will no matter how often it’s had a service)!
I wish the road tax was as low in the Netherlands as in the UK. 450 pounds a year? That is nothing! €380 a month here! Diesel and very heavy. Road tax is on weight here and a big surcharge for diesel.
Improved the appearance of this Range Rover 100% by removing that awful chrome bling
Great video. However couple of things to point out.
If you only put 6 litres, where was the other 3 litres. Done mine twice and have put in 9 litres.
The tax on my 04 TD6 is £31 a month. Puts it roughly £370 a year.
Maybe they changed the spec as there are 2 capacities listed, and 6 litres came out when I measured it later. Perhaps also model year changes for better emissions?
Furious Driving, the only channel ever to “unpimp” my ride! Great stuff Matt 👍
Your supervisor loves his tea swilling 😂😂
At 5.36 I saw a crack in the framework.
5:36 will get straight there.
Think you got your time line wrong buddy.
The gills and mirrors could indeed be factory, they were an option in period.
The grille 100% isn't factory though, it was a "make it look newer without buying the newer headlights" option. Fortunately the one fitted is the lesser evil of the "half a job" upgrade grilles - there's one that follows the contour of the inner headlight a bit like the 2007ish headlights, and causes the headlight wipers to park all over the place!
NICE MOTOR,,,,HOPE YOU CAN FIX IT,,,,,,I TRUST YOU WILL,,,,I LIKE YOUR STYLE !!! HANG ON TO THIS MONSTER !!!
Wouldn't put it past people with these cars to have fitted a disguise d or hidden engine cut out switch to reduce the chance of theft.
Sometimes the insurance is cheaper if your the member of a club or have a dash cam. A Swinton Insurance employee reckoned Aberdeen was the cheapest place to insure !
You can get a radio code online . just give over your reg no.. you can pay or wait a few days and they send it through . especially an older car.
Yes, I’ve done it with other cars but needed the serial number off the head unit, only cost £8
I’ve had loads of these and never had to enter a radio code.. most odd.. I think there’s an option to enter one. Because I’ve seen a option to enter a code on the display, but never paid it any attention, didn’t need to.🤷♂️
Never see one of those here for that money, I have learned, after a point, the miles on the clock becomes meaningless, it is all about the condition of the whole vehicle. As a comparison , saw a friends Lexus RX350 with 575,000 miles, and runs like a Rolex. Any fault it had, was in the steering, brakes, or wear & tear items. Well done ....Cheers
Ive seen a L405 in my area with a disgusting body kit at that point just buy the sport in the 1st place like why put a ugly big spoiler and body kit on the regular range rover it just doesnt suit it at all
Excellent choice for a cheap car. Will probably only cost about £12k a year in fuel, insurance, tax and constant breakdowns.
I pass one of these with the comedy bling every fortnight, you didn't buy it in West Yorkshire by chance to deny me my regular chuckle.
Last year Car Mechanics magazine had a V8 version as a project car, the radio is the same as a BMW 5 series so Android upgrades are available.
The chrome bling may be bad, but nowhere near as bad as those horrible black wheels!
if the air suspension is inactive and it's a hard fault then nothing will turn that off besides a scan tool that can read the air suspension.
The head unit is just a dumb monitor so you won't find the correct serial there, it will be on a separate unit near the sat nav computer in the boot if it's it the same place as BMWs with exactly the same system. I can't remember if the code is on the radio, or the sat navigation CD/DVD computer which is what actually generates the menus on the screen.
BMW never make it easy..
3M Make adhesive remover in a spray. you should get some for your garage.
The 3.0 m57 is a lot more stronger so the 20k intervals aren’t as bad as they are on the weaker 2.0 m47.
its the turbos that fail as the oil wears out, and can take the engine with them
Elephant in the room addressed. : Insurance! ;O OMG!
Be good to see a Diamondbright paint makeover film… ❤
Laurel and hardy car channel 😂
Great progress guys. I love this car 💪🏼😃
Thanks!
nice bit of kit that. always fancied one. maybe one day
When I worked in a body shop we also used petrol for tough glue
Looking forward to the cut and polish.
I noticed and appreciate the "Clay Bar" joke. Thank You!
I think it’s the law to say clay bar like that
I think it’s the law to say clay bar like that
Bet a descent motorhome would be far cheaper to insure😊
Hi Matt. I have the same model Range Rover (Silvie is her name) as your mate Jason. I don’t get why his insurance is so high. Mine is about £450 fully comp. But his road tax is £450 per year, yet I pay £700.
I started looking at l322 about a year ago, insurance quotes were coming in very reasonable, which is what got me interested, but come the time to buy one and insurance quotes came in at 1800+ so I bought a BMW X5 and pay 550 insurance
He said gas guzzler tax it's not really I pay 305 quid a year for a 2002 fiesta it's gone up by 20 quid for three years on the bounce, ludicrous pricing system we have in this country
Yup and I only pay £180 for my 5 litre v8. Mind you the thrives in Westminster lift another £390 a year off me because it cost more than £40k new.
@chrisaris8756 yeah like I said, ludicrous, if it was consistent it would bother me less I know of plenty of cars that use the same engine, sometimes even the same car underneath that have different tax prices
You look tiny standing next that to that thing, especially with it on axle stands 😆
Apart from all of the warning lights, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with it lol!
You had special socket in garage Matt ? and FOUND IT lol 😂
Battery low faults it looks like. One fault to rule them all. Also bad solder joints in the cluster or bcm is a likely culprit for the can bus errors.
I’d not considered the battery as it starts so easily but another thing to check
@@furiousdriving The codes may just not have been erased since the battery has been low. But since some of the codes were permanent there is definitely something else wrong aswell. Either something is shorting the can network (I once had a fuel pump module do that in a golf deleted around 20 codes by changing it) and it sets random codes on can connected modules.
Well maybe 200,000 miles were whilst being towed, awful vehicles, but great channel oh how I hate land Rovers what an embarrassment.
Those M57’s were so over engineered. They will go on forever if looked after.
I am always eyeballing the Crown Vic in the background.
I had a clonking on mine which turned out to be the lower wishbones
As the James Nay gif says. “Standard!”
I find it odd that people wouldn't buy something big and cheap, like this, because it's expensive to tax. OK, you are paying more VED, but you have a fabulous, waft-tastic barge...
I'm not sure it does look better without the "bling" also because it left the glue residue, but... I'm not the owner lol
The glue will be gone in a day or 2
Cool car❤
Who did you end up insuring with, or if you don't want to post it can you please send me a dm. Having a similar nightmare with a 4.2sc
Looks sooo much better without the fake chrome 👏👏👍
I actually quite like the chrome around the windows gave it a classy look💁
Not in real life, just looked tacky
So what exactly happened to the Citroen At Halfords?
Someone snapped the back of the headlight bulb holders off so the bulbs didn’t attach any more
And of course according to them nobody there did it
Hot air gun near to glass.
Teeth-grinding here!
Standard!
Too much heat gun will damage paint
I change the engine oil of any car every 15.000 km / 10.000 miles.
Long life oil doesn't exist.
Jason? His magic? Lool...
Yeah, all the “bingtastic” metal junk was aftermarket
25 30 to the gallon wow wish my legacy did that 😂😂
Air filter?
I am still seeing the Range Rover glint in your eye. Lol
So for the oil change you jacked up the side of the car with the drain plug on, so the last of old oil and sludge settles on the other side of the sump and can’t drain out of the engine and be replaced? Just stays there to muck up the new oil ? 😮
No, lowered off the jack to drain but do you n ex to see every second to know it happened.
And the point of jacking it up is to be able to reach the plug. If you Jack the wrong side it doesn’t help much
Your a comedy double act - more of the Fiend please. The Range Rover is great content too :-)
What did "They" do to Jason's Citroën?
Broke the headlight bulb holders
Probably the last RR worth buying if you're a driveway tinkerer. Hopefully you can get into the diagnostic system and find out what it thinks it needs 🫣👍🇮🇪
Got all excited, thought it was a petrol v8
20,000 or 10,000 between oil changes... Not that many years ago it was 2,500 and a gallon of oil was less than 10/- 50p for those unfamiliar with £.s.d.
What is wrong with Insurance Companies these days. The most that a company will pay out for a total loss is the amount paid for the vehicle, or was, it's those stupid amount 3rd party claims and the Courts awarding ridiculous compensation amounts along with very high legal fees and no win, no fee solicitors. Come on folks, stop claiming £100k+ for a broken arm or whiplash and we will all be better off.
You didn’t think of taking your computer to read the codes before you advised your friend to purchase the vehicle?
I wasnt with him when he test drove and did the deal, but knew of the car and that it had been running well for a while
Not a bad l322
White spirit will remove the glue residue
Tar remover = petrol?
Jason never sounds convinced with his purchase...
thats just how he sounds
I wouldn't go under the car ?😂

Must admit that i preferred it with the chrome trims on.
You wouldn’t in person, it didn’t even fit properly
Ahh ok,they must have bin cheap ones then.i think adamesh may do them and they're good quality,alot of jaguar owners have them.they look good so long as you don't get carried away with them lol.
Well Matt. I have to admit that for a Nett £100 quid Jase?could have done a lot worse. If he is happy to meet the running costs who am i to Poo Poo hiz vehicle. BTW my 21 year old Honda Civic has OVD but it tells you/me eff all..Good old detective work solves the issues eventually. Later
