The pains of the cheapest Rolls Royce.

0:00 Well, been dreading this.

0:01 We're going to find out just how stinking bad it is.

0:04 Uh, my last video worked as planned by getting

0:07 the word out that this thing's rotting here and asking people,

0:10 "What do you know?" And it's like people have

0:12 said that the the suspension is licensed by Citroen,

0:16 which is scary cuz they're not known for really working for very long either.

0:20 But apparently there's a lot of cars you could pull

0:22 the suspension off of, which is good because follow me.

0:26 Uh, you know, the car's been sitting in a spot.

0:28 Oh, talk about a spot.

0:29 Yeah, there's a bit of dripping in there.

0:31 Uh, little bit of dripping in there.

0:33 Little bit of dripping in there.

0:35 Hecking lot of DRIP IN HERE.

0:36 WHY IS IT THIS COLOR?

0:38 It should be green or something, but it's like murky red and black,

0:42 which means the suspension is effed, which mean this is already not going well.

0:47 It's already bad.

0:48 So, the suspension's not good.

0:50 So, all of that's completely effed.

0:53 Great.

0:53 And there's some rust around the wheel arches,

0:55 and there's clearly bog and respray.

0:58 Not great.

0:59 But yeah, we we got to see how bad is it underneath.

1:02 Like what kind of horror show I I WAS ONLY ABLE TO TAKE

1:04 LIKE A sneaky look when it was on the trailer being dropped off.

1:07 I saw some crusties.

1:09 Bring it up.

1:09 I I don't want to like We're doing this in real time.

1:13 I'm I'm terrified.

1:15 If it's hecking rust holes, it might be the end.

1:19 I may have paid all this money to get this amazing

1:22 grill and a 7 L V8 that bolts up to nothing.

1:25 Oh, I have to look.

1:27 Okay.

1:29 It's It's pretty pretty gross looking.

1:32 That's a good spot for the oil filter.

1:34 All right.

1:34 Like I mean I I knew that that that's fine.

1:38 I don't Is that like old rust proofing or something?

1:40 It looks like it might be.

1:41 Looks like it was a coal scuttle for 20 years.

1:44 Oh man, that's not rusted at all.

1:45 That's nice.

1:46 Look at this BIG JOINING PIPE.

1:48 YEAH.

1:48 Flexible bit IN THE MIDDLE.

1:50 WOW.

1:50 YEAH.

1:50 IT'S LIKE I mean exhausts do have like a H linking up bit.

1:54 It's to manage um pressures between the sides or something in it.

1:57 But it's got something like Yeah.

1:58 It's got this little accordion bit in it which

2:00 I guess they knew that they were going to vibrate individually.

2:03 [laughter] Well, when we dropped it off the the jack before it goes like

2:09 Hey, the red could be transferred.

2:11 It's definitely leaking.

2:12 [laughter] All right.

2:13 Well, I'm less worried about that cuz this is just a GM gearbox.

2:16 What is this?

2:19 What?

2:18 This thing connects to the transmission.

2:20 Oh,

2:23 that I've not seen that before.

2:24 That's terrifying coming from Chinese.

2:26 [laughter]

2:27 Is it?

2:28 And also to set the record state,

2:30 everyone's saying that James is going to be furious working on this.

2:32 This is the first time I've seen James excited for this.

2:35 [laughter] James was there when I spotted this.

2:38 We're just looking at a friend's car collection.

2:40 I was just joking.

2:41 I'm like, you're buying the rolls?

2:42 Yeah.

2:42 And he's like, "Yeah, we're just talking about it." I'm like, "Oh, all right."

2:46 Oh gosh, I have [laughter] to.

2:47 Yeah.

2:48 Oh, man.

2:48 The gearbox is soaking wet.

2:51 It's just a TH400.

2:52 So, you know, you can get brand newies of this unless it's got some weird goos.

2:57 Well, this looks like a separate piece that sort of manages the transmission.

3:00 I don't know if this is the selector lever or have an electronic selector then.

3:05 This is just a motor that changes the

3:07 That's dumb as heck.

3:08 It's an order.

3:09 You go into D.

3:10 And besides, you've got a driver dealing with that.

3:13 Why would you care what your driver is dealing with?

3:15 Man, they really pasted on the um the rust proofing.

3:18 a hydraulic leak.

3:19 It's not a bad one, though.

3:21 Yeah.

3:21 What's that little junction box, so that's dealable.

3:25 Oh, there's nipples everywhere.

3:27 We all like nipples.

3:28 This looks like an aftermarket exhaust at some point.

3:30 It does.

3:30 That doesn't look bo roller.

3:33 Even this joining pipe is something that someone's made up.

3:35 It's got crappy bends and welds.

3:37 Yeah.

3:38 And this doesn't even move.

3:40 It's like Oh, it would if the two Yeah, it does.

3:42 Oh, okay.

3:43 H metal loves work fatigue.

3:46 It's not.

3:46 That's

3:47 I haven't seen giant rust holes.

3:49 No.

3:50 I mean,

3:51 something's I could probably get serious

3:54 with a screwdriver and see what's there.

3:56 Do it.

3:56 We don't I don't want to be I want to know how bad it is.

4:00 What is this little tiny

4:02 I Yeah, that's what I was saying.

4:03 It's got shock absorbers on the subframe mounts.

4:06 So, the subframe movements are dampened.

4:09 That's amazing.

4:11 So yeah, like they don't just put rubber

4:13 on like on all the bolts that mount everything on.

4:15 They have suspension.

4:17 Yeah.

4:17 And the rubber mount has collapsed, too.

4:19 But look at that.

4:20 Well, didn't save that.

4:21 So, okay.

4:22 And there's a there's a spider up there with a clump of babies.

4:26 Really?

4:26 Yeah.

4:26 I think looks daddy longlegish, but maybe not.

4:28 I don't know.

4:29 Yeah, that's a daddy with a big clump of bubbies.

4:32 Well, we're trying not to disturb her.

4:33 She's doing work.

4:34 So, wow.

4:34 This is leaking.

4:37 Yes.

4:36 This whole setup is foreign looking.

4:38 What?

4:39 So you Wow.

4:40 Is that that I mean this is the handbrake

4:42 which I know but it doesn't look like a handbrake.

4:45 No.

4:45 Uh is that overly crusty the bottom of this?

4:48 No, it's just surface.

4:50 Look at the size of that diff.

4:53 That's a honker.

4:54 IT

4:54 IS JUNKY.

4:55 WOW.

4:55 C CAN WE SPIN it to see is it open?

4:58 It's an open diff.

5:00 Yeah.

5:00 Well, I mean it's open now.

5:01 I don't know if it [laughter] I really would have thought it'd have an LSD.

5:06 Just what the heck is this for a output joint?

5:09 [laughter] Man, this thing's all teen crumpets every IT'S THE SAME ON BOTH.

5:15 YEAH, I'VE never seen that before.

5:18 Why would you want that spinning mass spinning like that?

5:21 CV that's not a CV.

5:23 That's goofy.

5:24 But this differs a honker.

5:26 Well, I really thought it'd be limited slip because a boat this heavy,

5:29 it'd be so easy to break traction to get going.

5:32 There's lots of snow in Europe and England.

5:34 So, uh I mean I hope the diff isn't

5:37 effed cuz I haven't seen one looking like that.

5:40 Like it might have individual proportioning for the side.

5:43 Oh, that might be suspension.

5:44 I don't know.

5:44 I'm learning as we go cuz these are it's

5:46 got massive hydraulic rams as the part of the suspension.

5:50 They go to Yeah, they're hydraulic.

5:52 Yep.

5:54 H.

5:53 And then there's a suspension dealy thing.

5:56 Technical terms.

5:59 Yep.

5:59 And there's one of those on each side.

6:00 Yeah.

6:01 the the rear leakinators cuz I bet they pierce fluid.

6:05 The brake pads are full of oil, so it needs new brake pads.

6:08 Yeah,

6:08 there's a hecking huge uni joint up in here, too.

6:12 Wow.

6:12 Big fist knuckle of metal on both sides.

6:15 Well, that kind of uni joint's bad for pulsation, though.

6:17 I'm All right.

6:18 Yeah, I WHY WOULD YOU WANT SPIN AND KNUCKLE

6:20 dingle when you're GOING TO ADD SUSPENSION FOR THE SUBFRAME?

6:24 THIS IS THE last Rolls-Royce before they got devoured by BMW to keep in mind.

6:28 And I bet you BMW looked at all their designs like we can't handle this.

6:32 What are they doing?

6:33 It's leaking from every seal.

6:34 Like

6:35 every single seal [laughter] and you've got no spare wheel.

6:39 Nah, we don't need one.

6:40 You get your your Rolls-Royce chinook to airlift

6:42 you out of whatever pressure you got.

6:44 There's a lot of rust in the boot.

6:47 At least that bit's flat, so we can fix that.

6:50 And not structural.

6:51 So, and we can get at the inside easy.

6:54 So, fine.

6:55 If it's going to be rust ass fine.

6:57 Apparently the the front has two calipers.

7:00 YEAH.

7:00 HAVE A LOOK.

7:01 [laughter] HERE WE GO.

7:04 Oh no.

7:05 It really so complicated.

7:08 We got four front calipers.

7:10 Four calipers just for the front.

7:13 Nothing else.

7:14 BMW.

7:14 No, that's overengineering.

7:16 God, the Germans love that.

7:17 Probably looked twin brake hoses and everything.

7:21 Yeah.

7:21 Yeah.

7:21 The Germans probably looked for that.

7:22 Ah, yes.

7:22 You've done very well.

7:23 I'll take pictures to take home [laughter] with me.

7:27 Yeah.

7:27 Like you know how like you go into the dunnies of like a work site,

7:29 there's always like a pin up of like a naked lady or something.

7:32 Nah, it'll be these brakes.

7:34 There's a nest in there.

7:34 That's Oh, yeah.

7:35 I think you're right.

7:36 Yeah.

7:38 Yeah.

7:37 Um we've got we've got coolant mixed

7:39 with oil leaking off these accumulator spheres and pipes up there.

7:44 So although it could be the green accumulator.

7:47 Is that oil?

7:48 Okay.

7:48 So that's that's the hydraulic oil.

7:50 The hydraulic oil is green and it's leaking.

7:52 Yeah.

7:52 Yeah, which is awful because that's the worst bit.

7:55 I like this double ball knuckle guy here.

7:58 What's that for?

7:58 I know.

7:58 That's what I saw when I looked under there.

8:00 [laughter] It's just I mean THAT'S A IT LOOKS LIKE A OLD SCHOOL DUMBBELL.

8:03 UH-OH.

8:04 It's a It's a fairly conventional setup with the link to the sway bar,

8:08 but it's just so chunky and small and fat.

8:10 Well, I mean, this would have been one of the heaviest cars around

8:14 cuz only now modern cars are pushing past 3 ton on the average,

8:17 whereas like back in the day over 1 and 12 ton was pushing it,

8:20 but this thing's two and a 3/4.

8:22 oil on everything.

8:24 Yeah.

8:24 Well, it might have been the thing to stop it from rusting so bad.

8:27 There's a world here.

8:28 I think someone's repaired this and then bogged it.

8:30 It's falling off, but I mean, reveal the awful.

8:35 I don't want to hide nothing cuz uh

8:38 I'll get something.

8:39 Oh, here we go.

8:44 Uh-huh.

8:46 It's

8:46 not doesn't look bad, actually.

8:48 Yeah.

8:48 Flicking dog into my face.

8:50 Good.

8:50 Keep going.

8:52 I think it's been repaired and it's just been Yeah, there's a weld there.

8:56 It's been repaired.

8:57 They've just bogged it to cover the welds.

8:59 Okay.

9:00 You know what?

9:00 If you're going to dodgy something,

9:02 that's how you do the wrong thing the right way is you actually

9:05 put metal in and then just smooth it over to just make it easier.

9:09 Okay.

9:09 That's not as offensive.

9:11 It's not as bad as I thought.

9:13 No.

9:13 What about this?

9:13 There was a point up here.

9:15 One there.

9:15 It's a weird spider ball sphere thing.

9:18 It's like a nebula of web.

9:22 It's not.

9:23 I mean, it's

9:24 it's beginning.

9:24 It's beginning.

9:25 Another 5 years.

9:26 That would be a huge hole.

9:27 So, that's it's actually lucky.

9:28 It's not being outside anymore.

9:30 Yeah.

9:30 But all this is bogged.

9:31 Well, let's hope it was the same person who did the repair

9:34 and used metal and then just smoothed over it.

9:37 These rubber things are factory.

9:38 They had that.

9:39 Do you want me to Do you want me to dig in?

9:40 POKE, MAN.

9:41 POKE.

9:41 POKE.

9:41 POKE.

9:44 It's sort of the same.

9:45 It's just

9:46 But it's it's still metal.

9:47 Like you could you could sand that down.

9:53 Okay.

9:52 Okay.

9:53 Okay.

9:54 It's trying to It goes all the way up there.

9:56 Yeah.

9:57 Another 5 years that'll be cheese.

10:00 [laughter] YEAH.

10:03 LIKE LOOK.

10:03 THIS ISN'T GOOD.

10:04 THERE IS A hole here.

10:06 Okay.

10:06 Well,

10:09 it's again it's welded and been repaired.

10:10 Just it hasn't been protected properly.

10:13 See, this is what a half a 34 halfass ass repair from 20 years ago looks like.

10:18 Hey, I'm sure it looked pretty good for a while.

10:21 Would have looked perfect for a little bit.

10:22 Okay, you know, funny enough, that's not horrific.

10:25 I mean, there's all these rust belt watchers just being like,

10:28 "That's what MY CAR LOOKED LIKE WHEN IT WAS NEW.

10:30 [laughter] CHEVY DOES THAT FROM THE FACTORY."

10:32 IS THAT A REAL ROLLS-ROYCE HOST CLAIM?

10:35 NO.

10:36 OH, this is an aftermarket exhaust.

10:37 That's annoying cuz I actually did want the original exhaust

10:39 cuz I don't want it to be loud and shouty.

10:41 Do you want Do you want me to get a PRICE ON ONE?

10:44 NO, I'M JUST SAYING I wish.

10:46 I want it to just work.

10:48 This is real holes here.

10:50 It's still only little.

10:52 I can handle rusty bumboot.

10:53 Like rusty bumboot.

10:55 That's

10:55 It's nonstructural.

10:56 It's just It's

10:58 cool.

10:58 Oh, actually I think you can see some home painting up here.

11:00 Look at those runs.

11:03 Yeah.

11:03 I catch the angle.

11:04 Could also just be British painting.

11:05 Oh, no.

11:06 There's one on each side.

11:06 I don't know what this for, but there's a rectangular plate there on each side.

11:09 I I wouldn't think Rolls would do that.

11:12 [laughter]

11:12 British cars from this era were not known for

11:14 I know.

11:15 And Rolls-Royce failed, right?

11:16 You know, like they died and got picked up.

11:18 Their ashes got picked up by Volkswagen and BMW and they had to fight over it.

11:22 There's the clacky clack fuel pump that got boogered in

11:25 under this rubber.

11:26 Something crunchy.

11:27 Well, then rip the rubber off and find the car.

11:29 I don't want to damage the rubber though.

11:30 We might need to reuse it.

11:32 Oh man, it's like waiting for your exam results to come in.

11:35 You're like, "Oh, it's going to be bad.

11:40 Yeah, it's the same story.

11:42 It is pretty much the same story.

11:44 Yeah.

11:44 So, someone did a three like they did it the wrong way the right way.

11:48 They put new metal in, but then they didn't seal it properly

11:53 and then the bog over top has just allowed it to kind of fester.

11:57 But that is sable.

11:58 That's sandable and reboggable cuz it's getting bog again.

12:02 Bog isn't evil.

12:03 Bog is a necessary part of body repair, but [laughter] it's always abused.

12:08 It's just it's just bog flaking off.

12:10 But yeah, it's all like that.

12:11 All right, I'm actually feeling okay.

12:13 I'm okay with this.

12:14 What is this huge disc on here for?

12:17 Stop with some resonation or something.

12:19 Doesn't seem I can't see any reason why it needs to be there.

12:21 I mean, we got to double check if that's even factory cuz,

12:23 you know, like after 20 years, mind language, a car is a box.

12:27 No matter how good it is, right?

12:28 20 years is shitbox territory.

12:30 This has been a box two and a half times.

12:33 It's been balanced, whatever it is.

12:35 Yeah.

12:35 Which it checks out for Rolls-Roy.

12:37 It does.

12:37 But then these knuckle ends on the back of [laughter] it.

12:41 So goofy.

12:42 And game.

12:43 This is why it's so exciting to play with one of these cuz it's just a car.

12:46 It's all conventional.

12:47 But then isn't it's just such a weird way to do it.

12:50 Disturbing all the new spider webs.

12:51 These are new webs by the way.

12:53 I like how the intake's already open.

12:55 Oh no.

12:55 That means crab's been getting in.

12:56 Maybe only if the bonnet's been open.

12:58 I guess it's there'd be a little bit of dust in there anyway.

13:00 I'm so glad that this is the carbureted model.

13:02 Man, I just mechanical fuel injection is just messy.

13:06 It's like this weird appendix of combustion history.

13:09 Penguent oil.

13:10 This freaking aircraft.

13:12 [laughter] Well, it's what they do.

13:16 Yeah.

13:15 Well, I mean, the the aircraft division and the Rolls-Royce division

13:18 got divided because Volkswagen and BMW fought over the automotive side,

13:22 whereas the aircraft side is still British, I believe,

13:24 which is why they're still making jet motors and stuff.

13:28 You're you're James is cupping the air to smell it.

13:31 Smells like old fuel down the engine oil.

13:34 Oh no, man.

13:35 Look at all these belts, huh?

13:37 Like no serpentines here.

13:39 Got black in it.

13:40 Good.

13:41 And a lot of it.

13:42 It's above the max.

13:43 That's not good.

13:44 James is smelling.

13:45 That definitely needs an oil change.

13:46 Uh I mean, have we figured out what grade it needs?

13:49 I hope it's just 20W50.

13:51 Yo, classic.

13:51 Anything that rattles in a Rolls-Royce clearly is not meant to rattle.

13:55 Oh, James, check this out.

13:56 Look at these quilts.

13:57 Oh, wow.

13:58 Isn't that crazy?

13:59 It's missing a few plugs, but Yeah.

14:00 Yeah.

14:00 It's like someone's bed sheets.

14:02 Oh, it's so soft.

14:03 Yeah, it's like bed sheets.

14:04 Maybe a speestous.

14:05 No, it's fiberglass.

14:06 Look how much work it was to just make this thing quiet.

14:10 There's our carbs.

14:11 One and two.

14:12 They look like they are h44s by the look of it.

14:16 How do you know that?

14:18 I worked on British things.

14:19 British team

14:21 and they just use the same thing all the time.

14:22 Yeah.

14:23 Or they're they're or a derivative anyway.

14:25 They're they've got the float bowl in the bottom instead of on the side.

14:27 It's there just two main shapes of

14:30 That's so funny.

14:31 Like from a Mini to a Rolls-Royce,

14:33 you're going to get stuck with the same stuff.

14:35 Dizzy's in a good spot.

14:36 That's not hard to get to at all.

14:39 No oil in there.

14:40 Needs damper oil in there.

14:42 Damper oil.

14:42 Yeah.

14:42 It does the accelerator pump function.

14:45 What?

14:45 It means it'll be leaner.

14:46 See, I I've never used I've never been around SU cars as well.

14:49 So, these are the brand is SU.

14:53 Yeah.

14:52 Yeah.

14:52 I've had nothing to do with SU carbs.

14:54 So, that I'll need to put some oil in those.

14:56 My old Holden had a Quadro Jet.

14:57 Uh, these are really good for the seals in the bottom leaking as well.

15:01 So, that doesn't sound good.

15:02 Why would you phrase it that way?

15:04 PROBABLY PROBABLY

15:05 WHAT ELSE IS GOOD, JAMES?

15:07 UH, the pistons can stick.

15:08 That's pretty good.

15:09 What in the cups?

15:10 Yeah, it's good to variable venturing.

15:14 Oh,

15:13 that'll need attention probably.

15:15 This bonnet being this way is really annoying by the way.

15:18 Yeah, it it is.

15:19 It's not It's good for safety cuz if it uncatches, it will stay shut.

15:23 But for everything else,

15:24 what's supposed to hold this together?

15:25 And are we missing it?

15:26 Or is it just press?

15:27 But surely not.

15:29 Maybe it's meant to have Marmite smeared all through it.

15:32 And this lump barely changed since the 50s.

15:35 This the piston's not stuck at least.

15:37 Oh, okay.

15:37 So glad you know about SUS.

15:39 Yeah.

15:39 Oh, I can see Royce on the rocker cover.

15:43 Roy right underneath this hose.

15:44 I see it.

15:44 I like how this is a descendant to one of the first ever V8s.

15:47 And the V8 is a French thing.

15:51 French.

15:51 I don't know what that pipee's for.

15:52 I'm going to leave it off for the moment.

15:53 The English and French have never gotten along.

15:56 [laughter] Does it feel lovely?

15:58 It's pretty hard to push with this tiny lever,

16:00 but I appreciate that the lever is there to push.

16:02 Such a simple intake, huh?

16:04 Really is 1950s [music] looking.

16:06 Oh, IS THAT A ROLLS-ROYCE HOSE CLAMP?

16:09 I guess so.

16:09 Is it?

16:10 I guess so.

16:10 I wonder if this is just supposed to have a piece of piece of rubber something.

16:16 Uh, it's got some solenoids in it.

16:20 Ooh.

16:20 And it's in your hand and not attached to anything.

16:23 Some weird rubber gator of some sorts.

16:25 Is that where it went?

16:28 Yeah.

16:28 Okay.

16:28 Again, people, please let us know.

16:30 Yeah.

16:30 What is it?

16:31 It's

16:32 It's the capillator.

16:34 It increases the chromulations.

16:35 I wonder if it is actually supposed to have

16:37 a lever on there that pulls on the throttle.

16:39 That hose is so hard.

16:40 You swear it was swear it was bakery.

16:43 Is this got cruise control?

16:45 Yeah, that's the cruise.

16:46 It's broken.

16:47 It's broken.

16:48 That's cruise control.

16:50 Yeah.

16:50 So,

16:51 late '7s cruise control.

16:52 It doesn't.

16:53 It It There's a a piece of a chain down in here

16:56 which used to connect to here and that could suck the throttle on.

17:00 Suck something else

17:01 with a vacuum which is not working.

17:03 That hose is so dry.

17:04 And you see that little crack there?

17:06 That means every single one's like that.

17:07 And that is real Rolls-Royce tape.

17:10 That's real Rolls-Royce gaff on there.

17:12 See it?

17:13 We're so screwed.

17:14 This is a bad idea.

17:15 I like how every wiring is just a rat's nest.

17:17 No matter what, it just turns into a rat's nest.

17:20 Oh, they've actually got them labeled.

17:22 Wiper one, two, wiper three.

17:24 No, there isn't a rear wiper.

17:26 Why does this need two dingles in it?

17:28 Everything's so overbuilt, but in like a really cartoonish way.

17:31 What's that for?

17:32 Oh, that's the wiper.

17:33 THAT'S THE WIPERS.

17:35 Is it?

17:35 I haven't got I'm not saying it is yet.

17:37 That's huge.

17:37 It makes sense.

17:38 It might not be.

17:39 It's connect.

17:40 There's a switch here that's connected to it.

17:41 So, well, I like how the the driver's wiper has two dangles on it,

17:45 but the passenger has one or is are they both?

17:48 So, this one does a weird like doesn't do just a linear wipe.

17:52 It'll do a like a It'll come up and then go across.

17:55 See, I like the way' 80s E-Class Mercedes

17:58 do it with the single wiper and they go.

18:01 What' you do?

18:01 I don't know.

18:02 Oh, I just It's just the bonnet really.

18:05 Oh, we got to get that light globe working.

18:06 The under the bonnet globe.

18:08 Yeah,

18:08 you might already.

18:08 We just don't have a battery in there.

18:10 The air cleaner is down in there with this huge big thing for the

18:13 Yeah, I got to come around the outside.

18:14 Wow, that's weird.

18:15 This is a

18:17 That's so complicated.

18:19 Yeah, it's a gas mask.

18:21 That's what it looks like.

18:22 Straight out of World War II.

18:24 I guess I had a few left over.

18:26 I don't know why there's a thing on it.

18:28 There's going to be a lot of things that are very foreign on this.

18:32 Yeah, the radiator isn't even that big to be honest.

18:34 It's very conventional.

18:35 Gosh, can't wait to fill up the coolant through this.

18:37 Look at how much clearance you got to get in.

18:40 [laughter] That's crap.

18:41 Rolls-Royce.

18:42 I can't believe they bother you even put a clutch fan on it.

18:44 I think my Commodore at this year still just had a fixy on it.

18:47 Yeah, this is saying don't put normal brake fluid in it.

18:51 Don't we can check the fluid in there and see if it's all leaked out.

18:54 Such a long walk around this thing.

18:55 There I don't know what the minimum level is.

18:58 There's some in there.

18:58 It's pretty pretty low.

18:59 Yeah, it's a good color though.

19:00 That actually shows how green it is.

19:02 Yeah, it's what it's meant to be.

19:03 It's like spiders in my air.

19:04 Yeah, this one is also very low.

19:06 But

19:06 at least it's not dry.

19:08 That means any seals in [clears throat] there have

19:09 got a be dick of a chance of still working.

19:11 I like these wires.

19:13 These are goodies.

19:14 Oh, [laughter] they sure are.

19:15 They are nice.

19:17 Maybe make sure we isolate them so they're not going to touch and do something.

19:20 What about these ones that don't have anything to plug into?

19:23 A crap.

19:24 [laughter] A stink.

19:26 And that looks like it's all for the air con or something.

19:29 Uh, they are so dry.

19:30 I'm not sure what those are for yet.

19:32 Well, as long as they're not touching each other for now.

19:34 It's twist and tape as well.

19:35 Look, that's a real Rolls-Royce fix.

19:37 Well, it's a Rolls-Royce and it's fixed.

19:39 [laughter] God damn spider webs, man.

19:41 I'm getting coated.

19:44 Big bum speckle spider.

19:46 I think that's the scientific name for it.

19:48 Yeah, I reckon you're right.

19:49 That lady's been living in here for a long time.

19:52 Oh, yeah.

19:52 Well, the free lunch is over cuz it's not living outside anymore.

19:55 But now I've seen the redbacks in here and they're eating something.

19:58 It's all right.

19:58 You said they were exotic daddy long eggs cuz they have white knees.

20:02 Yeah, they [laughter] do.

20:04 They got little brown patterns on their abdomen and white knees.

20:08 White knees.

20:09 Wow.

20:10 White knee.

20:10 Daddy Longlegs and and speckled bum lady spiders.

20:16 Yeah.

20:15 Wow.

20:15 What an ecosystem we're disturbing.

20:17 EPA is going to be all over us.

20:19 This thing has six mufflers.

20:22 Six.

20:22 There's vac leaks.

20:23 The the plugs could be fouled.

20:25 These really were the worst years for vacuum leaks cuz,

20:28 you know, emission standards were catching up.

20:30 A lot of car companies were just real lazy.

20:32 They just wanted to make money and nothing else and they

20:35 just boogered it all together to get it over the line.

20:37 So, could be all that grumping up.

20:39 Oh, that's pure varnish coming out of that.

20:41 I got that whiff.

20:42 Oh, that's that's AU Falcon smelling levels of bad fuel.

20:47 Wow.

20:48 That [laughter] Yeah, this reminds me of when we got old salty.

20:51 You watch.

20:52 It's got to have 80 L in it.

20:53 I know.

20:54 There's the proof.

20:55 The gearbox says GMC and nearly all the leaks

20:59 are actually coming out of this GM gearbox.

21:02 [laughter] That's so difficult.

21:05 That's so funny.

21:06 The only thing that's really piss and fluid

21:08 is the only General Motors bit in this.

21:10 What's it called?

21:11 It says something matic div of GMC.

21:15 Hydroatic.

21:14 Hydroatic.

21:15 I can't I just can't read it.

21:16 Ah, it be hydroatic division of GMC.

21:19 [laughter] Oh, yeah.

21:20 Hydro Yeah.

21:21 Hydro Hydroatic division of GMC.

21:23 Yeah.

21:23 Yeah.

21:23 It's a turbo hydroatic 400.

21:25 That's what TH1 means.

21:27 Yep.

21:27 And it's the only thing really pissing fluid.

21:30 So, how did General Motors go bankrupt before?

21:33 Uh, we're running out of space.

21:35 It's still coming out.

21:36 It's very smelly.

21:37 Yeah, at least it's clear, but you know, but rust tends to sink to the bottom.

21:41 Why are we bothering?

21:42 Aren't we just going out a jerry can?

21:43 Cuz I can't stop it from leaking.

21:45 Oh, can't you just clamp the hose?

21:47 Don't we have like a zip thing?

21:49 Don't we have those for like brake lines and stuff?

21:51 I used it was dripping on the floor.

21:52 I used the best one we had.

21:53 Oh, really?

21:54 Do we have like a bung we can stick in there?

21:56 Then we can say we got a bung hole.

22:00 Maybe.

22:01 You always got to shake afterwards.

22:02 Yeah, maybe.

22:03 That's That's might have succeeded.

22:04 Yeah, I just touched my arm with it.

22:07 A is varnishy smell and stuff.

22:10 I'm so glad we got nearly 20 L of it.

22:12 If I had an old diesel that had run on it,

22:13 so we're jigging up some fuel dingle system to heave fuel into this near 7 L V8.

22:20 Barely presses on.

22:21 I'm pretty sure that's a fuel hose.

22:22 James is calling it.

22:23 It's going to rain fuel bit here than anywhere else.

22:26 These cars are so alien to me.

22:27 James said, "Hang on, it's got to top

22:29 up the oil in the carburetors." [laughter] S use.

22:34 I guess this is why you're excited to play

22:35 with it because this is kind of your home base.

22:38 Mankey English crap.

22:39 This thing idles.

22:41 I'll do a back flip.

22:42 So, I hope it doesn't cuz I don't want to break my neck.

22:44 All right.

22:44 This is how safety works.

22:46 If you don't have this near you, you'll have a fire.

22:50 If you have it near you, you won't have a fight.

22:52 It's how the universe works.

22:53 See?

22:54 Like that.

22:55 We magically won't have a fire.

22:56 No need to petrolize.

22:57 Yeah.

22:57 I can't wait to see how much comes out.

23:00 Coming around.

23:00 Oh, that's the clackity clacks.

23:03 Yep.

23:03 It stopped.

23:04 OH, IT'S RAINING.

23:04 SO, [screaming]

23:07 WO, IT'S JUST THAT'S THAT JUST THE FUEL line wasn't connected.

23:09 So, we might just connect to the fuel line.

23:11 Do you think that's needed?

23:12 No.

23:12 Maybe.

23:13 One of my favorite things about combustion engines,

23:14 they all sound different when you turn them over.

23:16 My little turbo K car goes,

23:20 this is going to go the part where everyone's like, he's got a turbo K car.

23:27 Yeah, I for three years.

23:28 It was my daily in between original Bruce and Bruce 2.

23:33 Can you see any fuel pouring out the bottom of that carburetor?

23:35 Are you

23:37 wa That's a puddle.

23:38 There's two puddles on the ground.

23:39 Yeah, but they're not puddling anymore.

23:41 And it's Oh, it would have been from just before.

23:45 Yeah, but it's not dri Oh, that's stink.

23:46 It's not dripping anymore.

23:47 Well, whatever this thing is is leaking a little bit out of the top.

23:50 That's something to do with the cold start and it's dripping.

23:52 Can you hose clamp it or something, man?

23:54 Might be an O-ring, though.

23:56 Even better.

23:56 If you pull that off, I'll just take the two screws off.

23:58 James has bunged the bung hole with a bung.

24:01 Yeah, let's be clear.

24:02 I've been working on British cars for like 15 years.

24:04 [music] I've never seen any kind of fuel

24:06 system in between the pump and the carburetors.

24:09 Yeah, [laughter] this is exotic and like rocket stick exotic.

24:14 Yeah, the Tpiece that doesn't work properly.

24:16 Yeah.

24:16 Leaks.

24:17 All right.

24:17 Yeah.

24:17 Plug it in again.

24:19 I've done it.

24:20 I can't hear it clacking.

24:21 I know.

24:25 Oh,

24:24 yeah.

24:24 Yeah.

24:25 This is So, this is what sets the fuel mixture.

24:27 It goes up as the air speed increases.

24:30 Yeah.

24:31 That's goofy.

24:31 Yep.

24:32 You don't put it upside down cuz it leaks the oil out.

24:34 You're sucking fuel out of it.

24:36 Yep.

24:36 That's great.

24:37 So, yeah, we got fuel there.

24:39 Cool.

24:39 Well, one of them.

24:41 Yep.

24:41 I'll check the other one as well.

24:42 Oh, that's so good.

24:45 Oh, we might hear this thing idle.

24:47 I mean, struggle to idle cuz of all the vac leaks guaranteed to have that.

24:50 [cheering] Very cool.

24:53 Wow.

24:54 I love seeing the lights on in the dash.

24:57 That's cool.

24:58 Ah, this is the best smell ever.

25:00 I want to bottle this up and just have everyone be repulsed by it.

25:03 Um, you going to crank it?

25:05 Yeah, I MIGHT STOP.

25:07 YEAH, CRANK.

25:07 OH, HANG.

25:07 LET ME GET AROUND THE OTHER SIDE.

25:09 CRANK IT.

25:10 James gets the honor of the first turning of the key of a Rolls-Royce.

25:24 Oh, that's definitely normal.

25:26 I didn't know anything at this age had a digital speedo.

25:29 Yeah, electronic speedo.

25:31 Oh, it's column shift.

25:32 That's heaps funny.

25:33 Um, maybe the neutral cutff switch is gummy.

25:36 Oh, I probably have to have brakes on or something.

25:38 There's low coolant when I'm turning the key.

25:40 I believe that.

25:41 Maybe it won't let you start with no coolant.

25:44 That's garbage.

25:46 I might just make the starter motor do it.

25:47 Startering.

25:48 James has got to stick a screwdriver and make it go.

25:51 Well, this says starter, so that's nicely labeled for thieves.

25:54 [laughter]

25:55 Well, normal people aren't even allowed to walk up to these things.

25:58 Like me having normie blood walking up to I can feel it repulsing me.

26:02 Is this your first hot wearing of a of a Rolls-Royce, James?

26:05 Yeah, I guess so.

26:05 It's my first contact with a Rolls-Royce.

26:10 Come on.

26:12 I don't know if it the ignition system will be on with it.

26:16 Of course,

26:19 that sounds way more refined than I thought.

26:21 Yeah.

26:21 Well, IT'S A ROLLS-ROYCE.

26:23 OH, BUT YEAH.

26:23 KNACKERED old crap from the 60s and an 80s bod.

26:26 You're right.

26:27 It sounds very even.

26:28 Yeah.

26:29 Yeah, but it sounds almost petite.

26:30 It's like why you pull a plug and stick a spark plug in it?

26:34 When when you turn the key on a car, it doesn't just start it.

26:37 It unlocks the ignition for everything to spark and shoot all the fuel about.

26:42 So, it might not be doing that.

26:43 After all the around with the free car, we would have a spare spark plug now.

26:46 It's actually the Honda spark plug.

26:48 It's got no thing on the top, but it should work.

26:49 Oo.

26:50 Well, I'm going to stop touching the car now.

26:51 Screwdriver trick it is.

26:56 No.

26:56 M.

26:58 Probably just means we need to get a jumper lead to the coil.

27:02 So, the starter relay is the one that's crying out in pain.

27:05 Yeah.

27:05 Well, it might have been inhibited by the coolant level relay as well.

27:09 This sucks.

27:09 This is the annoying stuff to get hung up on.

27:11 All right, we're going to do the double dingle express.

27:13 We're going to turn the key and spoof it other ways all at once.

27:22 Oh, come on.

27:25 Do you want me to stop?

27:26 No.

27:26 All right.

27:27 I've still got the key on.

27:30 It would be the sort of thing

27:31 to have a secret immobilizer somewhere, wouldn't it?

27:37 WHAT DID YOU FIND, JAMES?

27:38 THE cranking interlock relay.

27:40 The cranking interlock relay.

27:43 And I've bridged it.

27:44 You bridged it?

27:46 And it doesn't start still.

27:49 Great news.

27:49 Um, the wiring is a total mess.

27:52 Oh, is that good?

27:53 Is that Well, that's what I expected.

27:55 Is that good?

27:56 Uh, I don't know.

27:57 It depends.

27:58 James is not giving me good vibes.

28:00 Uh, it's an aftermarket ignition and it's been messed with.

28:05 The only way we found information on how to do anything with it was there

28:07 was a handdrawn diagram in MS Paint

28:11 and it made the most sense out of everything.

28:15 This car has been Oh, yeah.

28:17 James made a starter button.

28:19 It's not fixed it though.

28:20 No, no, but um it keeps getting worse and worse and worse.

28:25 It's now just touching wires together and just being like,

28:28 well, it's doing something.

28:32 Oh, don't let that touch you.

28:33 No, it's not.

28:33 [laughter] I'm I'm hearing sparkles, but I don't know if Oh, yeah.

28:37 Yeah.

28:37 When I cross all the wires together, it's making sparking noises.

28:41 I mean, from the from the ignition system like, [laughter]

28:44 but I might just be frying everything.

28:46 So,

28:49 yeah.

28:48 But I'm at this point I'm willing to give up on this ignition system.

28:52 So,

28:53 yeah, it's pretty hokey.

28:54 Um, do we have This should flash pink and blue when I crank it.

29:00 Crank it.

29:02 [screaming] [laughter]

29:10 Killed James' test.

29:11 Yeah, it's my own customer made one as well.

29:14 Yeah, that's James invented this one and it blew it up.

29:18 Yeah, both colors.

29:19 I just couldn't handle the posh royalty was plugged into it.

29:22 actually going to smell the poisonous exhaust of this luxurious boat.

29:26 Even running on seven cylinders, it was smooth.

29:29 [laughter]

29:30 Oh no.

29:31 You You want some tape to isolate that?

29:33 Or you just going to let But when it revs and vibrates around,

29:36 that's going to land on something.

29:38 We're good.

29:38 It's not yours.

29:39 That's why.

29:45 IT'S IDLING STRAIGHT AWAY.

29:47 WHOA.

29:49 OH, there's some noisy valves.

29:50 Ticky noise.

29:51 Yeah.

29:53 It's top end.

29:54 Well, it's got fuel in it.

29:55 THAT'S WHAT IT'S GOT OIL full of fuel in it.

30:00 Oh, yeah.

30:05 It's a bad lifter on this side or something.

30:08 Oh, I reckon it's an exhaust link.

30:11 Could be.

30:12 Yeah.

30:16 Wow.

30:22 OH YEAH.

30:22 WOW.

30:23 THAT WAS ALL THE FUEL IN THE YEAH, THAT'S ALL THAT WAS.

30:25 WOW.

30:26 THAT RAN for more seconds than I thought.

30:28 A near 7 L V.

30:29 OH WOW.

30:30 WHAT I LOVE IS YOU CAN HEAR HOW big those pistons are.

30:33 It's got this

30:43 Wow.

30:40 IT JUST IT IDLES, MAN.

30:43 It just fires up.

30:47 Yeah.

30:47 [screaming and groaning] YEAH.

30:49 OH, SHE'S RUNNING RICH.

30:51 [laughter] IT'S blowing hecking smoke.

30:57 GOT BLACK SMOKE.

30:58 OH, YEAH.

31:01 YEAH.

31:01 WELL, the choke is stuck on.

31:02 OH, THE EXHAUST is so bad.

31:04 Yeah.

31:04 I don't know how to turn the choke off.

31:06 Oh, is the CHOKE ON?

31:08 YEAH.

31:08 AH, no kidding.

31:10 It's automatic.

31:11 Oh, no.

31:12 Yeah, it's blowing so much black smoke.

31:14 That means these plants are fouling terribly.

31:18 Where's it pulling fuel from?

31:19 I looked in the tank.

31:21 OH, YOU DID.

31:21 OH, COOL.

31:22 The I mean the jerry can.

31:27 [laughter] Yeah, it's a bit rich.

31:30 Little bit.

31:35 The riving.

31:37 [screaming] IT IDLES LIKE NUT.

31:40 THAT'S SO GOOD.

31:42 BLACK SMELLS so rich.

31:43 It's so rich.

31:44 So, it's rich enough to be getting black smoke, but when it starts popping,

31:48 what that means is so much fuel is

31:51 unburnt getting past the boiling hot pistons and valves,

31:54 it's exploding in the exhaust pipes,

31:57 and there are there's so many exhaust leaks.

31:59 IT'S SO BAD.

32:02 But all the manky brakes and suspension and the bits of rust

32:07 to hear this thing just idling with no tickling at all.

32:12 Man, that is fantastic.

32:15 Hey, auto chirp will have to come later.

32:18 Let's let's kill it.

32:19 Let's let's kill it.

32:22 A RAN.

32:24 OH, that's such a good conclusion for this.

32:26 So good.

32:27 Oh, especially for the rat's nest of the wiring that's going to be coming up.

32:30 But that shows a LOT OF IT'S KIND OF WORKING.

32:32 Y I mean, it's that auto choke that's hanging it up,

32:34 which is some reason someone's wailed on it with a hammer or something.

32:39 Someone got really cranky with it.

32:40 That's unusual.

32:41 Why would you do that?

32:42 It's got an electric heater in it.

32:43 It's hot.

32:44 Really?

32:44 Oh, good.

32:45 That's where fires come from.

32:46 Oh, that pipe's really hot.

32:47 Where does that go?

32:48 Why is that?

32:48 Oh, it's sucking OFF THE EXHAUST.

32:51 OH, I see.

32:52 Great.

32:53 Well, that could go wrong in many ways.

32:57 Yeah.

32:56 Well, what a fantastic conclusion.

32:58 For real.

32:59 This thing idles.

33:00 No throttle.

33:01 It just went.

33:03 And that's all that's all eight cylinders going.

33:05 Yeah, man.

33:06 You can really hear those near seven lers.

33:08 Those are coffee cans spinning away in there.

33:12 Ah, this makes my nipples hard.

33:15 [laughter] [music]
