I buy expensive, cool cars cheaply that no one wants anymore and do my best, with no knowledge whatsoever, to bring them back on the road and enjoy them once more.
I work on a sloped driveway and must deal with UK weather, so it is challenging to be normal and use the traditional method of working on cars like everyone else.
I hope you can learn and be inspired by my experience or at least find my videos entertaining!

WHY WOULD SOMEONE TRY TO SELL THIS PORSCHE BOXSTER 986
MAJOR SERVICE PORSCHE BOXSTER After discovering a coolant leak in the previous video on my Porsche Boxster 986, I refurbished and serviced most of the engine gaskets and parts.
I flushed the power steering fluid and replaced it with a new one, as well as the O-ring. Then, I replaced the air filter, drained the oil and replaced the oil filter. Then, I put in new oil and a new washer, completed the spark tubes with a twist, and went for a drive to test the car.

FIRST OBSTACLE I ENCOUNTERED WITH THE PORSCHE BOXSTER

After discovering a coolant leak from the Porsche Boxster 986 project water pump, I refurbished most engine parts by replacing as many gaskets and fluids as possible. I managed to replace the water pump and thermostat, flush the coolant, and fill it back up. I also replaced the belt and the spark plugs. However, I failed to complete the spark tube replacement. #porscheboxster #porsche #porscheb...

How safe is it without the safety pin as you have nowhere to insert the safety pin once a car is on stand.i have bought a set already but not used yet.
What if you're stranded off road on soft ground?
Same procedure, but this time put something solid under the jack, such as a plank of wood. If you were doing off-roading, you need to use the mud tracks. 👍🏻😊
What happens if you double click to open the car?
Hi Bill, in a normal case, nothing will happen, it will just make sure everything is unlocked. However, there is a setting in the car where you can have 1 click to unlock the driver door, and double click to unlock the full car. Hope this helps! 👍🏻
Great video and appreciate your patience.i always thought the bleeding is done from closest to the farthest but thank you for the correction.you inspired me to buy the Halfords advanced floor jack and I have it .
Thank you so much for your positive feedback! 🙏🏻 I'm really glad you found the video helpful! 👍🏻 Amazing, well done! I found the jack so worth it!
Blue smoke means you bought a Lamborghini
Hahaha 😅
I enjoy my 2010 RANGE ROVER HSE, great vehicle. Worth every dime.
They sure are amazing vehicles! Every journey in the Range Rover is great. 😊
You don’t need to remove the spoiler to change the wiper blade on an L332 BTW

Excellent mini series and so well recorded by your wife....a top channel, well done.
Thank you so much, Mike! 👍🏻Your comment really made my day! We're so glad that you're finding the videos helpful and valuable! 😃
My fob won’t start car or unlock But it will lock the car😂
That's very convenient!! 🤣 There could be an issue with the buttons
Used these for the first time of my MK4 Ford Galaxy last Saturday, worked brilliantly. The safety pin on these though seems useless as you cannot uses it at every step up.
True! Comparing to the older one, I was surprised. I don't think they're safety pins, they're just locking pins for when you fold them away. 👍🏻 Glad they worked well! 😃
I am putting mine back together and have a 12 pin large plug at the rear off the engine left over - for the life of me I can not find where it goes - any ideas ?? great videos by the way :)
Thanks so much for watching and for the positive feedback! 😃One of the cables is a blank cable, it doesn't connect to anything, but I don't remember which one it was - maybe it was that one? If not, this is the video where I put the cables back, hope it helps! 👍🏻th-cam.com/video/Rexr9fxlZx8/w-d-xo.html

The Only product to use in Land Rover power steering systems is Land Rover STC50518 Cold Climate Power Steering Fluid. It also must be used in the ACE (Active Cornering Enhancement) dba Dynamic Response System in the Range Rover Sport. It is actually Texaco 14315/33270. Don’t bother looking for it. If you could find it , it’s only available in 100 litre drums. It is green, mineral oil based and expensive. There are alternatives but most are semi or full synthetic. Not sure these older trucks would be happy with those.
Yes, that's true! We made another video with the correct power steering fluid from Land Rover.th-cam.com/video/skiOyfbEOtE/w-d-xo.html It was more expensive, but that's the only available fluid, like you said.
Hello buddy, does the injectors need removed can the rocker covers be removed without removing injectors?
Hi! No, unfortunately, you have to remove the fuel injectors in order to remove the rocker cover
@@lifeasusual thank you my rocker covers are leaking also 🙈
You need to check if the leak is coming from the gaskets, or if the manifold itself is split/cracked! Hope you get it sorted mate! 👍🏻
@@lifeasusual which manifold are you refering to? I see the rocker cover wet so I assumed it was the leak.
The inlet manifold is the same as rocker cover. In the Land Rover manual/parts, it's referred to as inlet manifold. 👍🏻
As someone with ADHD, this video format is so good to watch. I have stayed with the whole series after finding an oil leak around the same area on my new (second hand) 2009 Vogue.

I recommend strongly to remove all the rust from the bodywork professional and not just the surface with WD40! Once the base for rust is neglected it will bite you soon again and destroy the whole area around that screw. Regards from a professional from Austria 😊
I agree with you, I will get to it! Thank you so much for watching and for your advice! 😊 Best wishes, keep in touch! 😃

I had the same problem, it's better to change the whole piece and just remove the screws from the balljoint and take it out along with your arm, that's easy.

Hi Josh, to be honest with you, I gave this device away a while back, but during the time that I had it, I didn't experience these issues, no. But it sounds like it's very annoying!

Hi, since it's stopping it sounds like it's stopping properly but you're getting an error which I've not seen on my dashboard before so perhaps you might need to go and get it checked. Maybe the brakes are grabbing from one side only, not from both sides. Hope you manage to get it fixed! 👍🏻😊
0W20 Top Tec 6200 Engine Oil
I have not tried it, I'm not familiar with this engine oil!
A lot of information, thanks. Is the air suspension recalibration module on the Kingbolen a standard feature or one of the subscription modules? Thanks again.
Hi Michael, I did a bit more research about it. This Kingbolen model cannot calibrate the suspension for this specific car model that I have, so I would look into getting the GAP IID Tool instead. I made a video here about the GAP tool and what you can do with it - th-cam.com/video/LoSgF2QNKSM/w-d-xo.html Thanks for watching the video and for your positive feedback! 👍🏻
@@lifeasusual Thanks for coming back. I've checked with Kingbolen and for the benefit of others. The Ediag does include air suspension calibration for certain LR cars. My L320 RRS is included so that takes in L320 2005-2013. I'd GUESS that LR3 2004-2014 is also therefore covered but check with Kingbolen via their website. They were quick to respond. After the first free year, annual licence renewal is $90. Given that the Ediag covers 150+ cars, and doesn't VIN lock like the IID, seems to me to be a great option.
That sounds great! Thanks for sharing the knowledge here. 👍🏻 If it works for your car, then you might want to have a look at their full version because this was the Kingbolen Mini model. The full version will give you access to more features.
@@lifeasusual Yeah it was the full Ediag version, not the mini.

Hi! 👋🏻 We used the GAP IID Tool to program the sound, and this is the video where I explain about the tool, and what you can do with it - I hope it helps! th-cam.com/video/LoSgF2QNKSM/w-d-xo.html Thank you so much for your positive feedback, I'm extremely happy that you're finding them valuable!

Why the tarp on the driveway?
If you have a look at our previous videos, we were working on different projects on the car, with oil leak. 👍🏻
These specification labels are a scam to drive revenue. I think you did good. Since I'm out of warranty, I'm not even using an oil that has the Land Rover Spec. I have a gas SCV6 that requires the older STJLR.51.5122 spec. Can't find an oil on the shelf ANYWHERE that has JLR spec, old or new. Interestingly, Mobile 1 has an oil that used to have this spec but did not renew their JLR certification, so the spec has since been removed from the bottle. Since I can buy it locally and my engine has not changed, nor the oil for the worse, I just buy Mobile 1 ESP X2 0w20 for my car. Half the price of Castrol, performs well, and readily available. Check this quick vid showing the spec from 7 years ago th-cam.com/video/fEa1rPS_mi4/w-d-xo.html
Yeah, I totally agree with you! I noticed that I've not had any issues since I changed my oil brand, and the car is running absolutely fine. I've not noticed anything different, as long as it matches the same oil specification and I change my oil regularly. Thanks for watching the video and for the feedback! 👍🏻

Hi Everyone So just purchased a Land Rover discovery sport and it needed diesel, so when getting to the gas station, I tried putting in diesel but the fuel nozzle does not fit into the hole, so couldnt add diesel, it literally fits in half way but not properly because the two pieces of metal that should move or flap when the fuel nozzle enters didn’t move at all!
