Lol i have a 2003 range rover hse with 231,000miles and she runs like a charm you just gotta treat these vehicles right and have enough money for the maintenance and they will always work in your favor. Never let any small issues turn to a big one.
I came back and rewatched! You fixed it! I would beat in it and floor it a little after all that too and make sure it gets just hot enough to know not over heat!
It's a steering column fault. Disconnect battery with key out and you either be able to turn once. Also the air suspension won't adjust with any door open. And do the breather valve on the passengers side valve cover for the smoking issue. Probably gonna have lean codes. Will need the intake elbow which isn't a lot of fun but much easier than on the sports. And the connector sleeve is definitely leaking at 220k in the trans. Be ready, ZF6 fluid was about 24$ a qt 5 years ago
For the mileage this rover seems to be in really good condition. Those jaguar V-8‘s are historically very good engines, maybe a can of blue devil can restore it
@@matthewbraybrooke7670 No the BMW engine was not supercharged as far as I know. The 4.4L BMW V8 is a naturally aspirated 300 HP V8 found in the HSE trim but once stepped up to the supercharged engine then you're looking at a true Jaguar A-J, Ford supervised, 4.2L supercharged V8 (AJ34S) with an Eaton M112.5 roots style 1.9L supercharger. Its the same engine used in our Jaguar XF SV8 (Super V8 or Supercharged V8). That's why me and Matthew Devine are here since we're both in an XF enthusiast Facebook group. We actually use the intake duct from the RR Supercharged as an upgrade to our XF SV8 since the Ranger Rover's intake duct is bigger thus slamming more air than the standard XF SV8's intake duct.
@@munther1071 ok fair enough, 2006 was a cross over year for the engine from BMW to Jaguar. What I did hear though is that Ford took the design of the Jaguar AJV8 that Jaguar developed and used it in their own cars. People often think of that engine as a Ford engine which is never was. Great engine!

I have an 08 RRS TDV6 with 330k km that still runs really well. The diesel has at least 3 coolant bleed screws to properly bleed the system. If the auto trans has not been serviced it will most likely need to be reconditioned or at least need a new torque converter and valve body reco. Can't tell if it was actually slipping or just flaring during shifts. If it's just flaring, fixing the valve body will sort that out. I would do a double fluid flush to start with to give you a baseline as to where you're at. They are great cars but don't tolerate second rate mechanics.
That looks like a thermostat sticking to me, and when it does it will allow condensation to build up and rest on the pistons when you shut it off, hence why the white smoke when you crank it up in the beginning...
@@leebraddock8624 it doesn't, that's just not how it works, it looked to me like either oil sat in the cylinders for a while, like bad valve seals, or coolant sat in the cylinders. Headgasket.

Randy, the Range Rover will make you a Good Flip! Hope you make profit on the sale. Good Troubleshooting of the heating issue.

I know you're only in the business of buying cars and selling but you should keep vehicles like this land rovers and range rovers are beautiful vehicles im a new subscriber i enjoy you're content 👍
The reason that it had coolant in the overflow tank after you drove it is due to the pressure buildup within the engine. A nearly overheated engine builds up a ton of pressure. The pressure buildup caused the little coolant that you had to back up into the overflow tank. The overflow tank is designed to give any excess coolant somewhere to go when the system is under pressure. When an engine is overheated, it will build up so much pressure that it will push any coolant you have into the overflow tank until it runs out of room.
Hello from France : your whine is the supercharger, not the power steering. This L322 seems to be in good shape (except the bleeding and low fluid, which are nothing).
I wonder if the radiator may have some debris in the cooling fins. I had a truck that had full coolant a good water pump and thermostat. Kept going past normal temperature range. I took it to a car and looked at the radiator. It was packed with debris. Gently cleaned those fins. No more running hot. Must not have been to much of a lemon.. 220k miles on it.
I think the last thing I would gamble with would be a Range Rover. Much less with a lemon law branding. Then there's the high mileage. You somehow escaped this one. But the game is not over. You still got to find another sucker to buy it from you ! Not going to be easy being it's a 2006 Land Rover with a lemon law title. Good luck .Would love to hear how it went
Just crazy people buy cars they can’t professionally maintain. I’m surprised they didn’t properly BURP the radiator. Might cause a blown head gasket. 😢 Take care Randy enjoy your day sir 🇺🇸🏁🦍
My daily is a 2015 Range Rover with the supercharged V8 that was a dealer buyback out of California. The buyback reason was the brakes were functional but they squeaked while driving. Other than that it’s been serviced twice since I’ve had it and has been reliable.
Randy, Need to pickup Santa, help you with the Range Rover. Can’t believe you leave the house with out Tools, Water & Anti-Freeze & Transmission F. & Motor oil.. Good Luck 👍
The temp, in combo with loss of coolant is most certainly the coolant T PIPE. its a very common failure point on these motors. The 4.2 and 4.4 AJ motors are regarded as being on par with Honda in terms of reliability. This isn't the first time someone thought it was a HG issue and it turned out to be the thermostat and coolant hoses and the T pipe. They split and lose coolant and let air in which leads to over heating. That or an improper bleeding procedure. I've owned a couple from the 06-09 years and I know plenty of people with over 300k miles on them, a HG failure is extremely rare for these. If it happens at all. Also, the idle fluctuation is DEFINITELY the PCV VALVE. GET THAT REPAIRED ASAP or you will risk grenadine the engine.
You can't drive with the cap loose,,, The pressure keeps the coolant from boiling,,, when the water boils around the combustion chamber you have a good chance of warping a head or blowing a head gasket,, because there is less water touching the metal around the combustion chamber to conduct heat away,, :-)
I think those engines have a 110 degree thermostat which is electronically controlled. All those issues could be a faulty radiator cap. The last BMW I brought had similar issues and all it needed was a bleed and cap.
After the car gets warmed up put a garden hose with a shop rag in the overflow thing and it will put positive pressure through the whole entire engine and burp out the air
Didn’t know if that’s the bmw engine or jag engine but if bmw I’ve had luck with a cooling system pressure testing kit and an open bleed screw and cap with the heater on low. Keep going until you’re sure there is no more air in it. I’m going to assume you’ve checked the oil for chocolate milk.
It’s got quite a few head gasket symptoms sadly, coolant being pushed out the system into the tank (empty when cold/over full when warmed up) and bubbles in the coolant tank. You’ll only ever know by sniff testing it/compression testing it. Fingers crossed you’ve sorted it though through correct bleeding.. it’s a steal of a deal if it carries on behaving. Great content as always 👍🏻
That engine noise is not the powersteering pump. Usually on those Rangerovers is the supercharger on there way going out! There are rebuilding kits for this superchargers.
It is almost like the BMW 528i all over again . Definitely looks like air in the cooling system . Do you think thermostat is stuck ? Block tester is definitely way to go.
My understanding is that all cars have a check engine light and it should come on when cranking to start. Could be the bulb is burned out. Opening the cooling system to 'vent' lowers the pressure and the boiling point, i.e. higer pressure raises the boiling point.
Shut the door then flip the button once for normal driving,up once more and it will max out at maximum height for going over rocks at a slow speed,flip the button down two and the car lowers for Easy entry.
This is the content we've been waiting for this is the old Randy this is the Randy we have always enjoyed keep this up and we will stay committed to our subscription to your channel
Look for a bleeder valve it boiling but not boiling out of the reservoir . But could very well be a head gasket I’ve used head gasket sealer and was successful with it if you determine it’s a head gasket I would try that before anything else just follow the instructions very carefully and good luck with it
Over here in the UK some shady dealers used to have knocking around "pit of doom" cars where they took a worn but still working part from a car they were working on and replacing and putting the on its last legs part into the pit o' doom motor which they had bought from motor salvage as an unticketed writeoff, they would then polish it up, price it accordingly and sold as seen, no returns sort of thing and wait for the first mug to bite.
You first messed up by buying this heap. Maybe run it without the cap on, could have air in the system? Had a 2003 Tahoe that had a coolant leak and I had to add coolant to it every once in a while and had to bleed it or it would get hot.
Randy I'm with you on that suv something is not right the engine cover being lose the battery being tossed in the cooling problem and it came from a dealership with high miles it sounds like whoever owned it didn't know what they were doing then let the dealership have it and the dealership went over it and didn't want anything to do with it and sent it to auction
One time I had a Mini Cooper supercharged and I was told it had a bad head gasket with lots of newer euro cars they use a vacuum for the radiator overflow and all it turned out to be was a crap seal on the cap. Wouldn’t of been able to tell if it wasn’t for the experience of someone else
Also could be few other things, neutral safety switch on the shifter to tell it it's on park or neutral. Or have had even the brake safety switch go bad to where ignition wouldn't unlock. Hell even lawn mowers nowadays have so many safety switches they go bad in-between oil changes lol but best of luck to you and your ignition lol
It probably is a head gasket. You have two of the obvious signs. Bright smoke and low coolant. Engines tend to burn coolant when they blow head gaskets.
Glad to see you have learned a lot, there was a time not too long ago , you would've kept going until it was not going. Why don't you just give Blue Devil a shot? It's the only money back head gasket repair I know of. I hope you get lucky and it works for you.
Maybe change the coolant expansion tank cap. Sometimes it fails to relieve the pressure in the tank and can cause a coolant leak and or air bubbles. Also cheapest to fix first
Randy how does the coolant smells dose it have a bad smell like burn rubber it would be a head gasket, if not change thermostat I had 3 range rover and 2 discovery b4 shot out to you from Paul in Jamaica kool love your range rover stories kool
I had the same problem with a car I used to have it was a rover gsi on a k plate it was doing the same as my car it was the head gasket mine was twin cam 16 valve I love the range rover mate I hope she ok now

Shut the door then flip the button once for normal driving,up once more and it will max out at maximum height for going over rocks at a slow speed,flip the button down two and the car lowers for
Easy entry.
Old school I would check the thermostat and make sure it’s working properly. Maybe put a colder one in.

I love these videos Randy, keep making great content!
Look for a bleeder valve it boiling but not boiling out of the reservoir . But could very well be a head gasket I’ve used head gasket sealer and was successful with it if you determine it’s a head gasket I would try that before anything else just follow the instructions very carefully and good luck with it
*Are u getting rid of the Challenger after the Plymoth comes??*
*Also congrats on the 2 cars u bought!!!* 👏👏🔥🔥
A Range Rover don’t need a law to be a lemon 😂
How much i love Range how much i hate when anything goes wrong, leomn is no joke. You got luck my man.
Lemon 🍋 or not,it's done a chuffing good mileage.
Somebody/ people got their use of of it while it was working.
Randy: the 1957 Plymouth might be a Savoy? The teaser you showed us, was a 2 door sedan.
Looked great from what I could see.
Cheers
Your video's are always full of suspense i love it im like go randy hurry up your going to break down in the middle of nowhere lol
Over here in the UK some shady dealers used to have knocking around "pit of doom" cars where they took a worn but still working part from a car they were working on and replacing and putting the on its last legs part into the pit o' doom motor which they had bought from motor salvage as an unticketed writeoff, they would then polish it up, price it accordingly and sold as seen, no returns sort of thing and wait for the first mug to bite.
Once you said the temp gauge was starting moving above the halfway mark I knew it was all bad from there
You first messed up by buying this heap. Maybe run it without the cap on, could have air in the system? Had a 2003 Tahoe that had a coolant leak and I had to add coolant to it every once in a while and had to bleed it or it would get hot.
Always liked the look of a Range Rover but I couldn't ever afford the insurance anyway Lol
Every Range Rover ever is a lemon in my experience of watching them come in and out of our workshop.
Randy I'm with you on that suv something is not right the engine cover being lose the battery being tossed in the cooling problem and it came from a dealership with high miles it sounds like whoever owned it didn't know what they were doing then let the dealership have it and the dealership went over it and didn't want anything to do with it and sent it to auction
Hello again from San Antonio. Looks like you are becoming "the Range Rover King" lol
One time I had a Mini Cooper supercharged and I was told it had a bad head gasket with lots of newer euro cars they use a vacuum for the radiator overflow and all it turned out to be was a crap seal on the cap. Wouldn’t of been able to tell if it wasn’t for the experience of someone else
I have a Plymouth caravan that the key doesn't turn. I'm about to disconnect the battery and see if it starts.
Also could be few other things, neutral safety switch on the shifter to tell it it's on park or neutral. Or have had even the brake safety switch go bad to where ignition wouldn't unlock. Hell even lawn mowers nowadays have so many safety switches they go bad in-between oil changes lol but best of luck to you and your ignition lol
It probably is a head gasket. You have two of the obvious signs. Bright smoke and low coolant. Engines tend to burn coolant when they blow head gaskets.
Glad to see you have learned a lot, there was a time not too long ago , you would've kept going until it was not going. Why don't you just give Blue Devil a shot? It's the only money back head gasket repair I know of. I hope you get lucky and it works for you.
YOU DEFINITELY FIND SOME KILLER DEALS 🔥
Maybe change the coolant expansion tank cap. Sometimes it fails to relieve the pressure in the tank and can cause a coolant leak and or air bubbles. Also cheapest to fix first
Randy how does the coolant smells dose it have a bad smell like burn rubber it would be a head gasket, if not change thermostat I had 3 range rover and 2 discovery b4 shot out to you from Paul in Jamaica kool love your range rover stories kool
I'd like to see the video of the coolant system bleed . Kinda skipped over that. After you mentioned head gasket sealer lol
I had the same problem with a car I used to have it was a rover gsi on a k plate it was doing the same as my car it was the head gasket mine was twin cam 16 valve I love the range rover mate I hope she ok now
Just noticed a car key lying down on the rear passenger footwell ! Hopefully the spare key .
Had one for a couple of years mine used to heat prob was rad hot water came in top of rad straight across and out again plastic divider was dislodged
