The crash-damaged Range Rover that I bought from Copart for just £1,500 gave me 700 miles of stress-free motoring. Then things went really bad. Can I fix it?

    Any man willing to wrestle a gearbox from a rangey with no lift and managing to video it at the same time definitely deserves a sub!
  • @DarkSphinxx
    i hope your youtube channel grows to the point where you can keep doing these videos on a huge scale because i love watching them
  • @vespaveloce1924
    Mate, you’re tough as old boots. I can’t think of many folks who would remove a gearbox like that, on their own, on the drive! I do admire your perseverance!
  • @tonyBobb5209
    It's great to see you're back. Hope your wife and your baby are both well?
  • @DeeKay84
    glad to see you back, no offence, but you remind me of why I go to a garage.

    So stoned i thought you was jason statham in the thumbnail 😂😂

    14:40 Ah, the classic "am I on fire or is it outside stuff", typical of any project car.

    Had 3 Deranged Rovers starting with the P38. The level of peace of mind having never touched them again is a dream, spent 9 years with constant anxiety awaiting the next breakdown.
  • Love your channel because you show just how hard it can be to repair cars on your own without all the specialist tools and equipment. Hope your channel grows to the point where you can do it full-time.

    After cleaning leather by special cleaner, you have to put some leather protector on it. Otherwise, dried by cleaner will be breaking. Cheers from Poland ~ ex car detailing specialist

    34:04 That was every bloke thinking he’s a proper soldier taking one for the team and the other half looks at you without saying a word……… I’ll just carry on with this unborn child braking my back and holding the fort. Love this channel every home mechanics struggle.

  • @edsilvester
    21 years on and the sight of a new born baby still makes me well-up. You never get over it and you never want to.
  • @tbonesteak4961
    Brilliant Mate, ex land-rover owner, I feel your pain. Changing a gearbox on your own on that lovely soft floor makes it even more enjoyable!!
  • @johnniek72
    I have to say watching this makes me so glad I rid myself of my TDV8 after two Range Rovers enough was enough!! Too much trouble and never quite sure what was going to go wrong next. The devoted I salute you 😎👍🏻
  • @Rusty_Tank.
    First of all massive congratulations to you and your wife on the birth of your baby boy.Your videos are absolutely brilliant and just goes to show what can be done on your own drive.Keep up the great work.

    My theory on Range Rover ownership is that everyone that buys a ‘cheap’ one ends up spending about 2 grand or more on it in repairs and then they pass it on to the next owner who does exactly the same! The amazing thing is that they go wrong so often it’s like a bottomless pit. It only stops when someone scraps them.

    Here's my two cents on the ZF 6HP: They're not bad gearboxes, however there are some more or less common failures that can happen. - The Torque Converters can rarely go bad. That doesn't usually prevent it from shifting though. Usually it's just the Torque converter Clutch that fails, which will cause the RPMs to fluctuate, while going at a constant speed. - There's some seals between the mechatronics and the main gearbox, that shrink over time. This can cause the box to have less than ideal oil pressure and will at the very least cause harsher shifts. If you leave that for too long, there's a possibility of burnt clutches. Also, there is a sealing-plate between the two halves of the mechatronics that can cause the same issues. Replacing these seals is comparatively cheap preventative maintenance, that I always recommend on these Transmissions - There are brass bushings on the shafts inside the transmission. These seal the oil supply to the clutches and especially the ones for clutch E (I think) like to wear out, causing low Oil Pressure to that clutch. This Mainly affects 3 to 4 shifting in the beginning and will cause the gearbox to go into limp mode once it can't adapt to the loss of pressure anymore. If this happens a complete rebuild is needed (This is also my theory, as to what happened here) By the way, You can swap over the Gearbox ECU (located on top of the mechatronics) in order to circumvent having to program the new box.
  • Congratulations on your new born. Wait till you have two then you'll know what tired is. We had our two boys 18 months apart I swear I aged 20years in 2 years. Anyway loving your channel & struggles with the L322. Keep smiling pal being a dad is the best feeling in the world.
