I was wondering if your company requires you to work on European vehicles or can you refuse to work on them🤬
I have never ever seen you this angry.
What a nightmare
After having watched this video, I have decided that I will never ever buy a Land Rover. There must be a reason why practically all english cars have disappeared from the market.
I hate those kind of use the forse jobs buddy
Beta Tools makes a set of T-handled socket wrenches with attached swivel sockets specifically for dealing with this sort of tight space crap….. Expensive but worth it if you have a lot of cars like this. They were originally design for working on Ferraris which are a nightmare to work on. Engine out 15k service is not unusual on those cars….
fitted stiker to inside front drivers windscreen,, oil change, ect.. dont come back.. yes, its a challenge, but, if it goes wrong,, engine out..2 day job..or, lift body..
best thing ever, for the last 65 yrs,, never owned a rover.. im smart, .
did you see the rubbed thru wires, top centre. 2;25
range rover with air susp.. dont touch..
@2.58 there seems to be a red wire in the wiring loom above your wrist that has lost some insulation around it and the copper wire is exposed?
Didn't see you change the rubber o rings on the lines Ray! Didn't see you check the A/C belt Ray?
Much as I like Euro cars, especially Jaguar and Range Rover, I've never been brave enough to buy one. Mind you, I'm not impressed with American cars either. I'm a Lexus fan I'd have to say. The only issues I've had are shocks (factory ones useless) and the odd sensor. My wife bought a new Kia Sportage, and it's incredibly boring, in a good way. Absolutely nothing has ever gone wrong with it, not even a bulb!!
That looked like a fun one !
Yeah….that’s about right for Land Rover….step I remove engine…..try a Ferrari…..step 1) remove entire rear half of vehicle, trans, rear suspension, brake lines, electrical connections….and this is just for a service!
Try doing active anti roll bars they are fun fun fun
Still wearing a ring while working.
I recall in Part 1 you said the labor time was about 4 hours? How long did it actually take? Because it didn't seem to take you that long (editing aside).
I would have given up
Saying you're going to win and starting on the installation with only 1/3 of the video in the past i feel is a bit pre-mature
I don't see enough talk abotu removing those "fender liners"… helped me a ton with the fuel system on the '97 Dodge/Cummins. Great camerawork!
Remove engine
Ray you got some guts never turn in a vehicle after you have done that you need to check for leaks I don’t care if it’s new always recheck for leaks after you install a brand new compressor because you never know even though it’s new it could leak out and then your reputation is shot. Let me give an example you put it up say it’s ready to go the customer comes by a few hours later and then the AC will not blow cold air because you did not check for a leak always double triple check because I know that bill is going to be over 1000 bucks am I right God bless you take care Ray✝️✝️✝️
I don't think even wobbly sockets work well with a 90deg bend, yet somehow you made it work. My brother used to pay me $5 a sparkplug to R&R them from his 69 Mach 1 Cobra Jet. The dealer would actually disconnect the motor mounts and jack up the engine to get to them, but I managed with my compound wobbly sockets and scraped knuckles of course; man that car was scary fast.
Where's your rant about european vehicles!?
And the Struggle Bus is still on the road! 🙂
Agony agony
Nothing like a Land Rover to release those inner swear words !!! Xxxxxxx
I appreciate the customer basically said "hey, he did all this diag and my car's already there. Might as well just have him do the repair now." You give me hope that there are more mechanics and technicians like you, sir.
Nice vehicle, shiiiittty job.
It's amazing to me how much of your work you have to do "in the blind".
Yoda – swear not young Padawan.
To the Dark side swearing leads….
😆
F’n awesome. That satisfying feeling when threads engage through feel alone.
Hats off to yah, I've been doing HVAC on commercial & residential for over 40 yrs and that type of equipment is usually built to be serviced. What your doing is so much different on a car( or European multi layered suv ) you can't tell me they are built to repair easily. Have a nice day buddy.
Reminds me of the starter I did on my moms 06 v8 cherokee. On the floor of her garage.. never again 😂
One of the things I appreciate watching Ray’s videos is how flexible/adaptable the human body is. Wow, twist around every which way to get the job done.
Australia lists Land Rover as one of the most unreliable vehicles on the road. Nice to drive when all is going well but likely to break down expensively!
even if the video was 5 hours in length , I'd still watch it from beginning to end Ray
I’d like to know how close to the 4.7 hours it took to do the job.
They called a shop back at home to get a estimate, and found out it was cheaper in Florida.
I feel for you. I had a Range Rover Sport with a minor engine problem. I brought it to the Land Rover dealership next to my workplace. During my lunch break I saw that they took the whole body of the car off the frame, so the mechanic had clear access to the rear of the engine. Pfft. Great cars but when it suffers a fault, get your wallet out!
Two thumbs up
German designed anti corrosion protection system is fully functional on this Rangey Wover…..
…oil everywhere as usual…
Now you know what we UK technicians have to go through every day….
Repair manual should state as follows:
1. Bring vehicle up to 10 mph.
2. Turn a/c on high.
3. Open driver's door.
4. Exit vehicle before going over cliff.
You always win. Never seen you loose any repairs, and I follow all of your videos on Youtube.
Ray,my. Shop in. Ontario does a ton of A/C work, when I saw The Rover, I had to watch ! Last year , same vehicle came in but White , No A/C , had refrigerant, A/C trouble codes ? No Tech support ! Scanned a couple of times,very hard to diagnose,like you , can’t get to compressor & 100 degrees in the shop, screw it, told customer, has to be compressor, thought he would leave! Well, we went through what you did, the next day ! Thank God , it worked ! My pride said ,,,,, do it! Lucky guess ! Compressor was not cheap !
It had nothing to do with it already at your shop. They called there shop back home and they were a hell of a lot more expensive. Bet a 1k on it
I do, I'm disabled so so I have LOTS of time to kill.
I can so see your love of working on European vehicle is strong with you grasshopper
The engineers who designed this should be forced to do a repair job like this for their bad designs.
Hi i want to know your address I like to bring my car to fix thanks
