I agree with Christian. "What goes around, comes around" is what we say in English. Do the right thing by everyone you meet. Many years ago I sold a 3 year old car. It was a 4.2 litre petrol straight six and a young fellow rolled up with his father to take a look at it. I immediately said to the young man that this was not the right car for you, it is not fuel efficient and also it has a couple of small dents that I never got fixed. Later the father said to me that he valued my personal integrity and pulled out his police badge and thanked me for my honesty. They did purchase the car but I am still waiting for the karma to be returned.

I have found that if you buy a written off car as a whole, salvage the engine which you have some information about and then sell off the usable parts and scrap what you can’t you usually get the part you want for free or even make a profit. Looking forward to another engine build!👍

Many car parts in UK come from stolen cars that are stripped for parts. And any low mileages quoted for parts are never true!

My dad (who was a very good engineer) used to say that there are two ways to do things. The right way and the English way. I sat here watching Christian put 5,7lt of oil in an English V6 diesel and thought to myself but my German Mercedes V6 diesel OM642 takes about 9lt of oil and you never hear the horror stories about them that you do about the Lion V6.

Way back in the 80’s stationed in Sennelager, I had a BMW E21 (I loved that car) our local scrapyard could not be more helpful. I wanted a set of Alloy wheels as my E21 had steel wheels. On checking their stock, they had 3 in excellent condition but one poorly curbed and some wheel nut missing and would not sell me them. Taking my number they would get back to me when they had a complete set and would hold the 3 wheels until that happened. About 10 weeks later I got the call to come and get them. Was well happy with the result. Many more visits after that and always looked after very well. May be this free movement didn’t go down well after all 🤷 Super content as usual C&V

Just to send some positive vibes: I had same situation with 2.7 in Citroen. I went to Warsaw, form Budapest and I bought from gipsy used tdv6, the backyard was horrible, they spoke russian between each other, dirt, parts everywhere. And guess what: I paid premium price as well. Cat in sack as you said. But, the engine was okay, and at the end of the day it worth the stress, and the suffer. I crossing my fingers for you guys 🙂

I'm glad it's not only me, they treat you with so much contempt.

I forgot to say a "HUGE" thank you. I'm in New Zealand, I drive a 4MOTION VR6. I had a problem with some of the steering/ABS sensors. Some of them are unavailable from the dealer. After watch a plethora of videos & going online over a 5year period to find the fault as I was getting ripped off because sensor after sensor with the braking system started to go. Every sensor starts at a few hundred dollars or euros then a pump alone is €2500+ The car is a 2001 model btw. I checked on eBay to find "reputable" 2nd hand dealer. I saw many suppliers in Latvia/?Lithuania. I bought one from the UK & Germany if I remember correctly. Last year I sent my car back to my mechanic who then sent it to his auto-electrician/tuning guy. 1 of the sensors were bad. 😂 After your more than informative video on the subject of "used car parts dealers" in Germany/Europe. I will never make that mistake again. I watch your videos every week as I used to drive a Landrover & find you videos to be among the best the world can produce.

I haven’t read all the comments, but just in case it hasn’t already been mentioned, we carry out compression tests on these by doing a relative compression test using an oscilloscope monitoring the current taken to turn the engine. To get an actual figure you can us3 a pressure transducer in one cylinder and use the curren5 to show figures for all cylinders. The current method still uses the same 10% max difference rule. Then if you want a bigger picture of what is going on, you can also monitor exhaust, intake and crankcase pressure to see where there are any lpressure losses or irregularities

The first place I visited was in Ipswich when I was only 17, the owner was an ex boxer, baldhead, brocken nose and coveredin tatoos (it was unusual back then). He wanted £15 for the Mini engine I needed and I asked if he'd take an offer. He asked me how much and when I said £7 he called me a cheeky c..t and then asked asked me why I thought my offer would be enough and I told him thats all I had! He thought for a moment and then re-affirmed than I was a cheeky c... but that he admired my nerve took my money and then helped me load it in my car. 👍

From one mechanic to another, you can also perform a relative compression test without the need to remove the glow plugs. By using a lab scope and a current amp clamp or just having the leads connected to the battery. Each compression stroke changes the amp draw (or voltage drop) then you can convert that signal into BAR or PSI. The test can give you an accurate result. There's plenty of videos on YT to show you the steps on how to perform this test. I'm pretty sure you already knew this. It's more enjoyable for your viewers to see the actual work lol. Great content once again. We also have a lot of *beep* junkyard ppl here in the states as well.

@ahrlo3060

And if you have the value of a true psi or BAR test on for example cylinder one, you can scale the results from the scope to the other cylinders where hard to get? That would be a great idea to compare the real values to the calculated based on the current flow of the starter motor, it would have some scientifically character.

Argh! What a debacle. Vera you do a great job with the camera.

I love your video's, very entertaining and I can learn something while watching! I also had the problen with the Chinese enginehoist and the engine stand. I did put pacer blocks (welded) between the castor wheels of the engine hoist so thelegs can go over the legs of the engine stand. It is not perfect, but better than it was before. I hope this tip can help you, keep up the good work, Martin from the Netherlands.

Great video as always, as for ever getting your money back you’ve more chance of finding a landrover without a problem

Is it possibly to add a little compact film light to the camera so we see more detail - the footage is too dark. Thanks for your wonderful channel - I learned a lot 🙏🏻

It‘s shot with our old camera, which died around that time. It has been replaced by now. 👍🙋‍♀️

It’s a bit exciting a project like this.

What a mess,but at least we have the video 😂

I had a similar compression tester that also gave unfeasibly low readings (when i tried it on a vw petol engine that was in reasonable health). I reached the conclusion that because the schrader valve was located at the gauge end of the 'plumbing', the rubber hoses not only effectively increased the combusion chamber volume, but also flexed slightly under pressure. I consigned it to the 'what was I thinking' shelf, and bought a 'Laser Tools #2516', which has the valve at the sparkplug end of the hose, and which has (I suspect) a schrader valve core of the correct specification, rather than a standard tyre valve.
