Lost Cause Ranch
United States
Registrace 27. 06. 2017
We LOVE Land Rovers, with 20+ in the collection and many builds in progress with an entertaining and non purist twist we are saving them in our own way.
The Lost Cause Ranch was coined by my brother years ago, he noted that anything that got moved to my property became a lost cause. Follow along as we change that tune and bring many of them back to life, saving them from the proverbial scrap yard in the sky. We have 10+ Discoveries in many states including one under the knife for an LS conversion. Several Defenders with a chassis up LS3 build. More LR3's and LR4's than we can count in and out.
There is enough Land Rover here to give you fresh content 2 times a week.
New Videos every Monday and Thursday.

Meyers Manx Buggy? Getting the Engine in the Quirky VW.
Today we make an attempt at getting the sweet little Meyers Manx Dune Buggy running and driving. A little bit ago we assembled and fired up the little 4 cylinder air cooled VW engine on the starter stand. Now it is time to mate it with the Manx and take the beach cruiser for a spin.

Today we finally start paring down some of the things laying around the ranch, starting with our beloved Touareg. This guy has the rare and quite fun V10 twin turbo diesel engine. Yes, 10 cylinders, two turbos from the factory in a Touareg, quite the setup. Well at this point all I want is the v10 part, so we figure out a way to get the engine out without a lift.

12 YEARS LATE | Cutting The Frame Apart On The Chevy C10
Im ansurgical tech and own a 2010 lr4 ....crash cart?!!!! That's hilarious....and so true in needing one if you have an lr4.
The way the engine is jumping it looks like the front gearbox mount is broken
How easy is this to remove when not in use because I wouldnt be able to go into my garage with that on roof.
It needs a clutch Bowden tube with a little bend in it.
That’s funny, I’m actually under it now spacing it out. It was straight as an arrow.
Just go enjoy it. The rovers will always be there
Jooooooooooooooooeeeeee 🙄 why did you buy another project 🙄
Good news, I got it running and drove it home last night. So should be gone soon haha.
There is usually someone in the extended family that needs a car, so we have done a good job in stocking everyone up with late 90s/early 2000s BMWs.
@@LostCauseRanch I hope so. I don't really wanna watch you fixing another BMW....looking forward to seeing progress on the Series LR or the Defender
For sure, no intention of boring anyone with getting that one back up and going.
@@LostCauseRanch don't get me wrong, I'll watch you do pretty much anything 😁......and it's your channel so you get to do what the hell ya like 👍🏻
OK that looks cool, Now goggles for Sasha and she can ride copilot in it 🙂 Now are you sure the clutch is not rubbing in the housing still and causing it to drag a bit while under that load? just a strange thought
I was digging around this weekend and I think I may have found the culprit and you are in the right direction on it being the clutch. But they have a Bowden tube that the clutch cable goes through. If there isn’t enough of a bend in that tube/sleeve for flex when the engine moves separately from the chassis it causes a shudder like that. So it may be a somewhat simple solution. The Bowden on this one is fairly straight without much bend. So I’m going to shim that tonight, I’ll report back haha.
Looks like an ozzie holden motor in there. Is it a chev engine?
Good eye, yes it is a Chevy engine swapped in.
Don’t forget there’s another timing chain project out there with the added bonus of a supercharger. Keep up the content, it’s always fun to watch.
Great job❤
Appreciate that!
You always keep us guessing what's coming next, but I'd kinda like to see the Defender or Series projects advance a bit. 👍
There is always odd stuff laying around here. Good news is I think the next video will be on the Defender finally. Just trying to get some of this lingering stuff out of the way.
I always look forward to what ever your doing on the ranch. It too bad your shop supervisor Sasha is all paws and can't help you out more!
Appreciate that as always, makes it all the more fun. But yeah, Sasha is definitely slowly down some but likes to see the action as well. I guess she can at 12-13 years old, so she is more than welcome to just chill out and hang around the shop.
You should have put the V10 into the buggy!
That would make for an interesting experience! Haha. Would probably need some lead weight up front.
1. What did you use to clean off the gaskets? 2. About how much time does this job take to perform? Thanks for the video.
you should definitely put it in the bed of a rabbit pickup like i mentioned before 😅
That’s growing on me, not going to lie.
Just got this done to my 2010 LR4 and it cost me over $5000. I’m picking it up tomorrow, after 3 months, was told parts were delayed which is why it took so long, smh.
that thing alone is enough to not buy the car even though there are so many great features of car
Excellent video. I have been referring to it as I attempt a head gasket and timing repair on my 2011 L322 supercharge any recommendations on where to purchase parts? specifically the tensioners I see that the prices are all over the board. Thank you
No spacers...the "wheel skate" look is not my jam.
@@artcole80 Can’t run the steal wheels on an LR4 without the spacers. They are needed to clear the brakes, you can get by without them on a LR3 though.
Charles from Deutsch Auto would be jealous
Here we are a few years later and the aame thing happened to me. Ran over a branch I didnt see. Pinched in the same area. Didnt remove blade, did exactly what you did with a hammer and pliers. Back in service. Thank you for this video.
Awesome that you are back in business, glad to be of any help.
Hey how much will you charge for this job i have the same problem
Can you tell me where I can get this wheels also the tires size and did you have to install spacers?
Would you make this for someone and if so how much would you charge for one?
You boys still doing the LS swap on the Disco?
So I live in Iowa and you can absolutely bet I will be hiring y'all to do this same job for me. I had an 03 Disco when I was 18, it was my dream SUV then too but it was a little....rough....One of my coworkers at the time suggested LS swapping it but I definitely didn't have the money and there was more problems than just the engine. Engine blew and such and I've still wanted one ever since. I don't care about the cost, when I get the money, I'm hitting y'all up.
What are the measurements of the i-beam ?
make sure to have a cotter pin to hold the castle on! i had a whole hub with the tires come off when i was riding because i didnt have a cotter pin
Makes me miss my 08 V10 once again. This was the car that got me here, man I love those cars.
When you say lux edition, do you HSE? How can you tell for sure if the LR4 has the locking rear differential?
The Lux is a package on top of the HSE. So it would be HSE vs HSE Lux. The Lux adds “premium” leather, Xenon headlights, passive keyless entry. Either are nice models though. The quickest way to visually tell is the HD package that had the locking rear diff came with a full size spare alloy wheel underneath instead of the smaller spare. Otherwise you can crawl under and check the diff for wiring and motor on the differential. Otherwise the simplest way is to call your Land Rover dealer with the vin and they can tell you.
Do cams NEED to be removed on this engine to perform a leak down test?
No, you just have to roll engine so each cylinder is at top dead center when you test them. The cams were coming off either way on this engine so it was just easier for me to take them off then test it.
😊😊
Wow fantastic effort for a one man band and no two post lift, you really need to invest in a vehicle lift. Looking forward to seeing get the Manx back on the road, I’m sure Sasha will love the open top experience 🤣. Then is back onto the LS Defender? Keep up the great work. 😎👍
I do need to land on what I want for lifts. Would make life a tad easier. We’ll have to get some doggy goggles for Sasha.
Welcome back! Did you do the ultra you were talking about? Totally jonesing that Manx!
Not yet, the one I’m training for is in October. But I’ll probably toss a 50 mile race in between then, I haven’t raced in an ultra since 2021 so it’d be nice to race in a “shorter” one beforehand. That Manx is so cool, wish it was mine haha. At least I’ll get to take it out every now and then if I want.
Did you have the speedo/mileometer recalibrated? If not your fuel mileage is way off!
I did not recalibrate the speedometer, but I did calculate in the tire diameter difference into the equation.
I have a 2013 LR4 with 182000 miles. How much to have you do a timing chain and fluid flush?
Do we know what years JLR updated the timing chain setup? I've seen March 2014 for Jags but dunno if thats accurate
Ah 2013, so Jaguar the following year I guess
That thing looks like a whole lotta nope to me lol. I mean it will be cool but too much junk on it for sure! Looks bigger than a big block too
Haha. It is a stout unit. Kind of sized like a late model hemi. Should be able to simplify a fair amount of it (hopefully).
Nice Fishing spider! I had a couple living in the raised bed garden last year. Didn't have that bad of a bug problem at that time. Glad to see I'm not the only one who uses ratchet straps for lifting/pulling applications. Assemble the kid's UFC ring, set up in local mall or outside of a nail/hair salon. Charge frustrated and tired parents $5 to"watch" their kids for 15 minutes. "Watch" said kids in pairs. Take bets from bystanders......
I have always wanted a V10 I have a 3.0tdi Q7 at the moment.
The V10 is quite the experience. But I’m all reality if I were to pick one between the two for a daily driver I would do a tuned v6.
Damn GOOOBER!!!!!
I don’t disagree
came to the channel for the Touareg, stayed when I fell in love with the LR stuff
Coming full circle. Appreciate that you are still around (and in the LR family).
Hoping for a v10 twin turbo diesel discovery
That would be something that is for sure.
put it in the manx LOL
Haha. Wheelie machine!
Put that drivetrain in a Defender!!!! 😁
That would be an interesting squeeze in there haha.
My favorite car of all time was my 2010 Toaureg TDI. Test drove a V10 that was older next to my 2010 first. Awesome cars. Pulled out a lot of Toyotas at the beach with it.
I really like the V6 TDI. That is probably a better all around engine to have especially on the daily and ease of parts/service. Plus the face lifted ones are a little nicer in my opinion. I bet yours did just fine pulling stuff around.
@LostCauseRanch It was just a Swiss army knife. Towed, good offroad, great MPG, comfortable, fast. People were amazed seeing it tow around a 27ft camper.
Oh man. You built that awesome building and didn't install a hoist???
I didn’t install a hoist.. yet haha. It will probably end up with a 4 post and a 2 post at some point.
Can't wait to see what your plans are for that engine !
HAHAHA now you need to build a storage building out back, Sasha just seems to ignore anything you do lol. And which rover you going to put that in 🙂
Yeah she is over my shit I think haha. I really need to sell more than I buy for the next couple months. But like I said, my problem is I like neat things.
