WE BOUGHT A BROKEN RANGE ROVER WITH A MAJOR PROBLEM! MISDIAGNOSIS ?
Video summary
Press to jump
- 2:46Low oil and disconnected engine-bay parts raise suspicions of turbo failure and hydraulic lock.
- 5:14An endoscope inspection reveals oil around the turbo and a loose shaft.
- 10:00The injectors come out, with number four coated in engine oil.
- 16:30Cranking the engine sends oil shooting from cylinder number four beneath the cardboard cover.
- 18:18Disconnecting the intercooler hose releases more accumulated oil.
- 19:40Rob sets out the next test: oil, new injector seals and an attempt to run the engine.
Cardboard over the injector bores is not quite enough to contain this diagnosis. When Rob and Chris crank their non-running Range Rover Evoque, oil shoots from cylinder number four. Chris identifies the culprit, but whether the engine has survived is another question.
That workshop investigation was the most-watched of salvage rebuilds uk's two new uploads, reaching about 159,000 views. The pair find oil around the turbo, a loose turbo shaft and more oil accumulated in the intercooler hose. Rather than treating the engine as finished, they work towards a test: fresh injector seals, an oil top-up and an attempt to run it. The video also contains a sponsored vehicle-history-report segment.
The comments turn the repair into a discussion about maintenance and reliability. Several viewers describe their own ownership experiences and question whether careful servicing is enough to prevent major engine trouble.
The other upload, "WE REALLY WASNT EXPECTING THIS TO HAPPEN ON THIS CAR ", concerns a crashed Honda that, according to the description, wasn't what it seemed. It had a slightly stronger first day than the Evoque and is currently attracting the most daily views on the channel. The older "ABANDONED NON RUNNER JAGUAR XK8 WILL IT RUN? LAST CHANCE!" also remains among its busiest videos.
The channel gained roughly a thousand subscribers over the week, although daily viewing is currently around half its usual level. Among nearby motoring channels, Trucker Tim had a similar weekly audience, while Oakland Auto Detail had a much larger week. For Rob and Chris, the useful discovery is rather more tangible: oil where it should not be, and an engine worth investigating before writing it off.
