Hole in the water.
The Company CEO and/or the spouse drives the Landrover. The computer engineer with a man-bun drives the Mini Cooper.
Not hard to understand the "yf" part.
Lol you don't have to dislike Eutoppean vehicles, just dislike Rovers and Jaguars 😉
I believe I heard a half whispered expletive!
First ever
If it was me doing the work you do, the soundtrack would have to be severely edited and use subtitles.
Im shocked – did I hear our intrepid hero actually drop the F-bomb?????? (11.32)
I've found as often as not, compressor seals tend to leak when the vehicle sits for a few months, but when the system is run again, they seal themselves up. We find dye but no current leak, system is deficient due to the loss while sitting unused.
You love European cars really
I might be mistaken but isn't the shaft seal on the AC compressor supposed to let a tiny amount of refrigerant leak over time? That thing must still be able to turn freely, after all. As far as I understand, a loss of 10% charge per year is considered acceptable anyway. At least, it was with 134a.
that was a cool job
I have owned a 1976 series lll ex army Land-Rover for over 20 years and love it , but you couldn't give me one of those new plastic POS ones. I have heard too many horror stories about them . I think that the Land-Rover name should have been dropped after the series lll models ceased production. The old ones were made to work but the new ones are nothing more than rich kids toys.
When you reinsert clips.. I'm always waiting to hear you say "clip" ..lol sorry 😁🎉
Luckily my Land Rover is so old there’s no AC – just a fresh air flap. Haha🥺
OK Ray:
I heart that,: You shouted the politicians "F" word, all the way from Florida to Vancouver, Canada.
THX.

It always helps to have the right tools.
I was interested but I don't have an hour to waste for you to get around to your 20 minuet trick. Good by.
Buddy, the Land Rover is made now by the Indian Co. Tata motors in India.
Sorry, it's not European any longer.
Stay sharp 👍😁
Ray, my wife now, believes you are real mechanic. She heard the mechanic speak.
Have you considered just putting a bit of silicone lube on the old Schrader valve o rings if they otherwise look intact? Thinking of ways to cut down your overhead.
I have no cooling.. run rpm to 3200 have excellent air Conditioning for rest of day. Shut it off do ramps then fine until shut off again
Ray, Land Rover = Ford
All Freon sinks to lowest point as it is heavier than air
You replace the valve stem is that they are notorious for leaking when reusing the O-ring.
While all the environmental warriors are running around screaming at you when you let go refrigerants into the atmosphere you may be surprised to know that the NEW gases like 134A and 1234 are neither ozone depleting OR global warming gases. That’s why they are so expensive and run at much higher pressures etc. It’s just that the EPA people are reluctant to give up their authoritarian power and rely on peoples ignorance to maintain their power base.
Nice demo! At your shop, is your machine dedicated to one type of refrigerant? When refrigerant is removed, do you put the same refrigerant back into the car? Is there any kind of safeguard to prevent sharing of refrigerant between vehicles, and to prevent the occasional jackass customer from contaminating your machine with propane derivatives?
Really well done work, Ray. I suspect your customers realized they had found a good, honest mechanic who is to be trusted, and better to get it fixed than risk total failure of the rest of the system on their fancy BMW.
I have what you may think of as the exception to your rule about European Cars. There is little in the world that could be easier than my 1990 Volvo 240DL wagon. As long as you do not need to touch the hater blower or heater core, they are the simplest of cars. Timing belt, tensioner, water pump, and all 3 front seals can be done in less than 2 hours, start to finish. I have to admit that the 17 litres of brake fluid to flush the lines is a bit much, but not difficult.
All your vids are compulsive viewing …. BUT can you please correct apostrophe on the thumbnail of this video? Thanks
Hahahaa, that refrigerant detection device reminds me of the sniffer machine Ritchie Ritch's Dad used!!
WHAT KIND OF THING ?
Don’t worry too much it will be back soon for more repairs
If you can't take superheat. and subcool, best bet is weigh out and weigh in.
R134 doesn't have any chlorine in it anyway. Even if it did leak it won't damage the atmosphere. Dumb people making dumb laws.
Ray…You are a good mechanic but you also like to contradict yourself! You say that working on the Rover would be a welcome departure from the normal day to day stuff, then you moan about working on "Europeans?"
Dude! what do you want? accept the challenge!
LR unsursprisingly a nightmare to work on
and you sir are admirable for being so cheerful
but suspect closet masochist nevertheless
What did you say ? LOL
Never buy a British car. Or German. They are great. U til they break
The Discovery is one of the most unreliable vehicles on the road. It beggars belief that people keep buying them ! Shocking build quality and reliability, whilst paying top dollar for the privilege. After sales service isn’t much better
Ray the series 2 land rover was used in the Australian army they were bullet proof as in really good and would get you through anything even towing a half ton trailer i love the old land rovers they just keep going and i own1
If you video your own disassembly, watch it before you reassembly and you will save time! Remember the all the fastener sizes and tools!
made in india with pride !
FEPA
firt time ever… the phone rings and im "doo doodle doo" ing and Ray keeps on talking.. also Ray drops an F bomb… never heard Ray ever get irratated. hes such a happy guy- keeps me back in his channel
So, the machine allows 5 minutes of leaking refrigerant into the atmosphere!
2 things. That 1234yf IS NOT cheap, like $35 per pound & that Rover has PA inspection stickers and he's in FLORIDA lol
There is not enough money to pay me to own a Range Rover.
Those plastic shields and their retainer clips are pigs. If you think that was tight for space, you should look up changing a turbo. It’s really a Ford by the way 😂
Man you were so lucky to recover that valve.
