🚘I bought a range rover in an online auction for a low price, but it has some issues.
🔧The previous owner didn't properly diagnose and fix the knocking noise in the engine.
💰I plan to try and fix the timing issue in the engine to make it run properly and avoid costly repairs.
📷I used a test lung to inspect the inside of the engine and found damage on the piston and cylinder walls.
⏰I'll be doing a compression test to determine the health of the engine and decide on the next steps.
Why did you buy a Range Rover at an auction?
—I love getting killer deals on vehicles and thought it would be a fun project to fix up a Range Rover.
What is causing the knocking noise in the engine?
—It could be a timing issue or potentially something more serious. I'll have to investigate further to determine the cause.
Is it worth fixing the Range Rover?
—It depends on the extent of the issues. If it's a simple fix, it could be worth it. If not, I'll consider other options like an engine swap.
How much did you pay for the Range Rover?
—I managed to get it for a couple thousand dollars at the auction.
What will you do if the engine can't be fixed?
—If the engine is beyond repair, I will look for a salvage Range Rover with a working engine and consider doing an engine swap.
