Lots of Range Rover Classics on the road with 200k+ miles. They die from rust mostly. I just finished a year long restoration on a 95 and ill take it over my supercharged Range Rover any day just for the fun factor.
I hate to see good content not be pushed to viewers, I love all the builds on this channel, and it's all in such good taste. The MR2 the MGB, even the Porsche are so well built in a non-ricey way and I wish you could reach more people.
Owning an LS swapped d2 that I had rebuilt the Thor engine twice before swapping it myself, I love any LR/RR RUclips content. Subscribed, hoping for more of this!
Maybe sell packages or levels of service. Use that as content. So have videos on refreshes for clients, revives, restores, restomod, survivors, custom and official built designs. Get as much customer work for content. Having each trim level as it owns series and rotate between series to keep content up and game the algorithm. Good luck
Rover V8's are notorious for the rocker shafts and rockers that see tiny particles of aluminium circulate through the rest of the engine. If changing cam, then change rockers and shafts too as well as timing gears etc. Valve lash cannot be adjusted apart from spacers under the rocker pedestals, so that lifter pistons have the correct amount of travel in the lifter body.
So glad you’re back it. I watched this one solely to give you a view because I LOATHE landrovers(aside from defenders)The only good rover is one that’s been rewired and has non rover drivetrain lol. Keep after it!
Great episode! I was a little apprehensive at first because of the Land Rover, but going sniper Efi definitely improves the vehicle! I'm excited to see where the project goes.
So glad you’re keeping the Buick 215/Rover V8. I had a 4.2L from a LWB swap in my SWB with a mild cam. I regret selling it, but looking to get another to build. I’m actually looking to do the same thing with a sniper on the next one but going to build a 4.8L/293ci. They really aren’t that unreliable, more misunderstood.
Nice! I’ve just rebuilt a RRC with a 3.9.. check the bores for pitting and the block for cracks. The water jackets in these rovers are known to be offset between bores, creating weak spots due to thin material between jacket and bore. Subbed!
@@alexwray8132 Well said 👏 They SO do deserve it, when they were first built here in the UK 60/70s a lot of British cars were made on a budget, and some parts were made cheaply to cut costs, and therefore head gaskets and most of the electrical materials suffered the consequences! And British Leyland workers were on strike a lot of the time. Sadly its evident in most car's of era 😢
They are going up rapidly in value and aren't at all unreliable. The later ones from P38 onwards had more problems because of leading edge tech but I've owned classic, P38 and currently L322 and have never really had any major problems. It helps that I can work on them myself
There are loads of these Classics abandoned, rotten, blown head gskets, steel inner body panels shot, no floors, no boot.... parts cars and some with no titles... I own 2..... both need total resto.... paid $1500 for 2... i might sell.. but for twice or threee times that number... as owners are addicted to parts cars for these... interiors are very nice and burl sets aint cheap. rims, glass, let me know 92, 93 LWB
It’s a hunter… these were cool, stripped down versions. The only thing I wish they’d have come with (in the US) was a manual trans. The hunters have some special little bits and pieces. 90% will have been stolen at this late date.
Love the content. Please reorder the videos in your playlist so people can watch without having to find the next vid. It's an easy way to increase views
I don't know were you have found this piece of junk, whith only 25K M and you can labeled it as the world's least reliable car. I have a 95 300 Tdi whith 545k km without any major problem and no rust, and a 98 Disco I whit 485k km in the same condition. Regurar proper service, minor issues due to natural worn. Probably you had a lot of time findind this piece, but have take ony to minutes to take that high tecnical apreciation. Please try to be fair!!! ☹

Gotta love the 215, got the rover 3.5 version in my mgb gt, and I can agree 100% the fuel injection system was the worst decision going 😂🤣

Good to see a good old Land Rover love these things

Subbed!
Please tell me that interior is going in from the donor . That’s some clean interior.
First time I've seen your channel. I love these old Range Rovers, looking forward to the rest of the videos! Subscribed!
Only chizzled gods like Dennis Reynolds drive green Rovers. But he has an amphibious rover. The only one in the world.
Those OG Range Rovers are getting valuable, they are both worth restoring. The best way to make it more reliable though is an LS swap.
Yeaaaaahhh
I love this frequencies of uploading❤
Can’t wait for the next episode!
Im just happy to see you able to post consistently again! The ONLY channel i have ever subscribed my money to.
Glad your back to posting Videos
The front of the MG makes me smile every time I see it.
Nice looking forward for the rest .
Is that background car indicating a 22b replica build coming?
The Lwb you tore the engine out of is a valuable Rover. Rare
But at least the one he’s fixing is a hunter edition
I commend you for getting those pos engines out without removing the hoods
The parts car looks better than the car to repare lol
great to see you back on it.
Hey man the parts car was really nice looking
That's so cool, so if I ever get one of those, I'll just get you to rebuild it for me...COOL?
Merry Christmas 🎉
What car did I see in the shop? It was white and from what little I could see it looked like a junked out targa? Anybody else have a guess?
Might as well put a junk yard LS
I think that Rover got lucky to end up in your yard!
Hell yeah
Great work Kaleb, this is gonna be a big project!
You keep saying you flip cars, yet I see no cars doing front flips or backflips. Curious....
You have there the RRC Hunter edition. Not many of them are around I guess. Nice catch. Good project
wow, i hope this works out at the end, but man this range rover did not deserve the amount of work this needs
These things are awesome and they do deserve to be restored

Yes it does! You clearly aren’t clued up on cars
"It takes about 2.5 range rovers to make 1 good range rover." Most honest statement ever..
Bollocks.

Fantastic Old School reliable standard hopefully emission is good 😊
fugging awesome!.
Great content. Please share the part numbers of the engine upgrades
Love all of the new videos coming out!
Miss your content. Coo to see you back

Hi. Keen to know more about the special bits on these hunters.
Back to the Future

Over 90% on all Range Rover are still on the road. The other 10% actually were able to drive themselves back to the dealer. LoL
Should replace the piston sleeves with new ones with top hats.
Like the build However, what is the story on the Datsun pick up in the back of the shop ???
Run away…RUN AWAY NOW!!!!!!
Good stuff
"It takes 2 and a half Range Rovers to make 1 good Range Rover" That is a fact. I have 3 myself and 2 are keeping 1 running o
Why not checking the crank bearings and the piston rings....?
You just pick the worse cares to work on lol
Range Rover classic is NOT the world’s least reliable car by a long way.
I want it

The p38 is the most unreliable rover
give up now Jr.....its way beyond your skills
