00:00

here's Marcus rashford's old Rolls-Royce

00:02

rap and today we're going to drive it

00:05

for the first time since the

00:07

accident since buying this Rolls-Royce

00:10

at auction we've learned how expensive

00:12

mansuri parts are 1,300 what for that

00:17

and how expensive Rolls-Royce parts are

00:19

$

00:21

95991 for just that so expensive I

00:25

decided it was better buying an older

00:27

model

00:28

Rolls-Royce and using it for part parts

00:30

to fix this one I just hope I've made

00:32

the right decision because we've already

00:35

started stripping it

00:36

apart and now Sue

00:39

Sue looks like this you're looking very

00:42

sorry for herself but I still think I

00:45

still feel okay about this cuz I think

00:47

we're doing the right thing we've got

00:48

the front subframe off the rear subframe

00:50

off you probably would have seen us do

00:51

that in the second Channel now we' got

00:53

to work out what parts are good of

00:56

rashford's old Rolls-Royce and what

00:57

parts are good of Sue and then we're

00:59

going to

01:00

switch and swap the two because this has

01:02

done 50,000 miles and rashford's one's

01:04

only done a th000 so we want to save as

01:06

much as we can off that let's get these

01:09

cleaned

01:10

up now the good news is the parts of

01:12

this Rolls-Royce do look the same as

01:15

rashford's one even though it is an

01:17

older model it looks like the only thing

01:19

they've changed on the facelift is the

01:21

headlights and the front bumper in the

01:22

minute but we also want to avoid using

01:24

the older Parts as much as possible all

01:26

the stuff that we're going to be

01:27

replacing on this onto the rashford car

01:30

only because the rasher car isn't

01:31

categorized still under warranty so if

01:33

anything goes wrong on this still under

01:36

warranty not that we would ever do that

01:38

Rolls-Royce not that we would ever do

01:39

that but uh if anything does go wrong we

01:42

could potentially take it back now that

01:44

would be pretty cheeky and we just got

01:46

to hope that they don't watch the videos

01:48

but it's unlikely that we need to take

01:50

any of this back under warranty because

01:52

most of the parts we're using are just

01:53

aluminium Parts nothing really

01:56

electronical but now both of the

01:58

subframes are all cleaned up and we can

02:00

go and work out what we're going to keep

02:02

and what we're going to

02:03

replace one thing that we are going to

02:05

be changing off this side is the

02:08

suspension normally on a regular car

02:11

you'd have a a spring and a damper but

02:14

on this rolls because it is so flaming

02:16

heavy but also you're meant to feel like

02:18

you're on a boat and it's meant to be

02:19

really cushioning and soft and that's

02:21

why they have air suspension I think

02:24

this is going to be perished so from

02:27

rollsroyce is going to be extortionate

02:29

SU is going to be sacrificed for that

02:37

one that is a bit of kitten in it I

02:40

think it's

02:41

bent think it might be a bit bent Daren

02:45

bent we then got to work with' taking

02:48

off the stuff we didn't want on the Sue

02:50

Rolls-Royce like the steering rack and

02:52

the right side suspension to make a bare

02:54

front subframe ready to go on the

02:56

mansori rolls Roy another thing that we

02:58

found broken in the last video was the

02:59

engine mount so the engine mount

03:01

normally sits up here and this is

03:03

literally the only thing that the engine

03:06

is mounted to on the subframe and look

03:08

at this this is all broken cast

03:10

aluminium we don't actually know whether

03:12

this is done by the accident or this is

03:15

just actually happened but another thing

03:18

it's oil filled and it's is leaking oil

03:20

out everywhere so that's another thing

03:22

that we're going to change cuz that is

03:24

fully broken and do I trust the other

03:27

side absolutely not is the engine mount

03:31

bracket that's broke I've unbolted it

03:33

here with the four bolts holding it on

03:35

and I'm going to replace the engine

03:36

mount bracket along with the oil filled

03:38

engine mount of the old rolls to put on

03:40

the mansuri one and being that the

03:42

driver's side Castell minion broke I'm

03:45

also going to replacing the passenger

03:46

side one as well now moving back to the

03:49

sub frame we're replacing all of the

03:51

hydraulic lines making sure we maximize

03:54

all of those parts which have only done

03:55

1,000 miles okay we should now be able

03:58

to lower the car down down and marry the

04:01

subframe up with the car and uh get the

04:06

bolts in then we can concentrate on

04:08

getting all the rest bolted up let's do

04:11

it down comes the rollsroyce onto the

04:14

secondhand subframe we've got to line

04:16

the subframe up with the bolt holes but

04:18

before we do there's a few electrical

04:20

connectors to connect up first then we

04:23

can start putting the bolts in once

04:24

we've got two bolts in we can start to

04:26

lift the rolls Roy up staying up

04:30

is in ish is Ish we've made

04:37

progress the good thing about that is

04:40

because the subframe which is straight

04:42

has now gone onto the rashford car we

04:44

can tell that the frame is nice and

04:47

straight because the subframe bolts up

04:49

to it if it was all bent the subframe

04:51

wouldn't have bolted up to it so one

04:53

Savor da it's the back we're a little

04:55

bit worried about so far so good the

04:59

last two bolts for the subframe to

05:02

connect it to the front that goes but

05:05

after we put this bolt in we found more

05:08

damage that all

05:10

bent oh this could be bent you know look

05:14

this bit yeah yeah that's really bent

05:16

that's bent that's not lining up and

05:18

then also look this is bent here if you

05:20

stand back a bit stand back a bit Matt

05:22

that's

05:23

bent so this is why we got another car

05:26

because all of this would have just

05:28

added up it would have just been a

05:29

Fortune but it's good job now we can

05:31

just go to soup and get all this it

05:33

looks like this lower crash bars Bend

05:35

and the bar which connects that to the

05:37

subframe so we're going to need to

05:38

replace that but before we do I'm going

05:40

to put in the three bolts each side

05:42

which hold the engine mounts to the

05:44

subframe and once I put them in I can

05:47

start to put in the anti- roll bar this

05:49

is the biggest anti- roll bar I've ever

05:51

seen and it has hydraulic fluid going

05:53

for it I assume just to stiffen the

05:55

suspension up because it is so heavy

05:57

I've now mounted the anti- roll bar to

05:59

the to the subframe I've just got to

06:01

connect up all the hydraulic lines to

06:02

the anti-roll bar and then to this point

06:05

underneath the car where all of them

06:06

meet after that I've got to make sure I

06:08

put the bolt in which connects the

06:09

steering rack to the steering column

06:11

time to lower the car back down and I

06:13

can now take off this engine support bar

06:15

because the engine's just being

06:16

supported by the subframe now with that

06:18

off I'm over on to the left hand side of

06:20

the car putting on the heat shield

06:22

connecting in electrical connections not

06:24

forgetting all the plastic guards as

06:26

well we need to make this car look as

06:28

new as it actually is is I've got the

06:30

second hand suspension Str of Sue

06:32

cleaned it up and put that into place

06:34

and then the wheel hub connects up to

06:36

the top off after that on goes the brake

06:39

disc and then the brake

06:41

caliper making sure I remember to

06:43

connect all the electrical connections

06:45

and of course the brake line but then I

06:48

found something a little bit

06:52

different I've accidentally put on the

06:54

disc from Sue onto this and you can see

06:59

the brake pad isn't quite all the way on

07:01

the disc and you can see the heat shield

07:04

is sitting higher than the disc so we

07:07

think the disc is different then when we

07:08

had a look at the actual mansuri disc

07:11

which is well it's actually a BMW disc

07:13

you can see there the lip here is a lot

07:16

shorter than the lip on here so we're

07:18

hoping that by just changing the disc

07:20

it's fine and the wheel hubs not

07:22

different but I'm going to switch the

07:23

discs over and hopefully that will work

07:25

so did Rolls-Royce change the discs on

07:27

the new facelift model guess we're about

07:29

to find out yeah look at that for a

07:32

measurement look that's way bigger so

07:34

they've upgraded the disc

07:36

but that's actually longer in it so they

07:39

have upgraded the discs but now I'm

07:41

worried that the wheel hub is going to

07:43

be different as well so I'm putting on

07:45

the original disc onto the secondhand

07:47

wheel hub now yeah that's better so

07:50

we've learned one thing they upgraded

07:53

the brake discs on the black badge or

07:57

the newer model either one of the two so

07:59

if you're got a Rolls-Royce at home at

08:01

least you know that so it's good news

08:04

the wheel hub seems the same and the

08:06

only thing they seem to have changed is

08:07

a brake disc now we can connect up the

08:09

bolts at the top of the strut and we've

08:11

got a few more things we need to replace

08:13

this lower part here which is bent this

08:15

lower front crash bar which is also bent

08:18

the horn as well which is pretty much

08:20

dead and also there's supposed to be a

08:21

lower radiator there as well alongside

08:24

that these coolant lines are supposed to

08:26

lead to a coolant bottle which sits

08:28

behind the wing here so we're back over

08:30

on Sue to strip her apart even

08:33

more we've got to work away at getting

08:36

the front end completely stripped apart

08:38

so we can access the radiators and all

08:40

the parts we need look at

08:42

that yay carish Su is a fake BL black

08:47

badge because this on a black badge all

08:49

of this is black and this is Chrome and

08:50

look someone's painted it and someone's

08:52

painted it so they're a big fat

08:55

phony hey and she disappears underneath

09:00

cap goes up just so everyone know I bet

09:03

everyone wanted to know

09:05

that to we're making progress and a lot

09:09

of this stuff which is being removed

09:10

from Sue is still worth a fair bit of

09:12

money big

09:14

moment which is good news for us off

09:17

comes the grill which is now give us

09:19

access to the rest of the

09:22

bumper you got

09:24

it I didn't think I'd take a bu off like

09:27

that there we go Sue bumper what's the

09:30

good news this isn't bent and it looks

09:32

the same and there's a radiator there is

09:36

it looks the same yeah it looks the same

09:37

you're all right and then what about

09:38

this though what do you think that looks

09:42

flat if you ask me does it look the same

09:44

though cuz it's a different headlight

09:47

definitely looks the same other than the

09:48

fact it's straight so what you're saying

09:50

is

09:51

rollsroyce facelifted the cars and

09:53

charged their customers 60 70% more than

09:57

the previous G model for the sake of two

10:00

headlights and a bumper is that what

10:01

you're saying Matt you said that not me

10:04

and some discs oh and some breake discs

10:07

as well don't you know what I'm doing

10:10

Matthew I know but tell the viewers tell

10:12

the viewers I am taking this radiator

10:14

out of

10:19

su I'm getting it in the Box it's come

10:22

off the

10:23

post here we go front lower radiator is

10:27

off now we're removing the headlock

10:29

light so we can get to the bracket

10:30

behind it that we need to replace on the

10:32

mansori one it seems even though Sue

10:35

does have different headlights and a

10:36

different front bumper everything

10:38

underneath seems to be the same as the

10:40

facelift

10:41

one she doesn't want to

10:44

go I've got the front lower crash bar

10:46

off and my dad's working away at getting

10:48

the coolant bottle out and once he's

10:50

done that we're back onto the manor one

10:53

and we can now take off the broken parts

10:55

and switch them over for the good

10:58

ones now I'm actually going to find out

11:01

whether all of these parts are the same

11:03

because if they're not I'm in some

11:05

pretty big trouble first thing I'm

11:06

changing is that lower crash

11:08

[Music]

11:11

bar that is all in and it was the same

11:14

the only thing that's different is this

11:17

radar sensor which they don't have on

11:19

the older model but the funny thing is

11:21

this is off the older model and they've

11:22

still got the hole to put in for the

11:26

bolt so it's almost like they knew they

11:29

we're going to put that in well done

11:32

there's one win the second win will be

11:34

the horn and that is exactly the same of

11:36

course then we're moving on to this

11:38

bracket here which holds the headlight

11:39

in place and also the wing and it's

11:41

looking good it looks exactly the same

11:43

and fits in the same way now onto this

11:46

lower radiator which is part of the

11:48

charge cooling system I believe this

11:50

radiator actually bolts to the headlight

11:52

bracket and sure enough it all fits up

11:54

good next up the hoses here which run to

11:57

the coolant bottle behind the wing of

11:58

broken so my dad's got to remove them

12:01

from the mansori one and go get them

12:03

from

12:06

Sue this is the first time I've ever

12:09

seen a coolant bottle which sits behind

12:10

a wing but maybe they just ran out of

12:12

space in the engine base that big twin

12:14

turbo V12 certainly takes up a lot of

12:16

room now bad's put the secondhand hoses

12:18

in and the secondhand coolant bottle

12:20

he's realized that where the coolant

12:22

hose runs to the filler pipe the bit on

12:24

the pipe is actually broken so he's

12:26

going and got the one off Sue and now

12:28

he's got to replace this as well you can

12:30

see at the bottom of it here it's just

12:32

all snapped

12:34

off this is why we got Sue was a bit

12:37

quick on that one was we'd have had to

12:40

wait to order this yes we would have got

12:43

to this part here thought we could build

12:45

it up yeah and then try to order that

12:47

have to wait another 5 days for delivery

12:49

and all that stuff and then put that on

12:51

and found some else yeah so everyone's

12:53

saying why have you brought a donut car

12:55

so we can bring videos faster and so we

12:57

can say sue sue that's right another

13:00

benefit of having a donor car if we find

13:02

parts which are broken it doesn't cost

13:04

us any more money and we can get them

13:06

instantly that should be everything on

13:09

the front which should allow us to run

13:11

the car apart from all the fluids but

13:14

the back has got nothing on

13:16

still and one thing that we need to put

13:18

on is a fuel tank if you remember in the

13:21

last video we noticed the fuel tanker

13:24

took a Bea in it had a huge dent in it a

13:26

hole and a lot of the brackets holding

13:28

it were bent so this is another thing we

13:30

need to change hi I'm going to start by

13:33

removing the fider lines on Sue's fuel

13:38

tank and then me and my dad can slowly

13:41

lift it down got it 1 two

13:44

three down who put that much fuel in

13:47

there is it you

13:50

yeah now Matt I'm going to ask you a

13:52

question this you tank unit here with

13:56

the pump in yeah has done 50,000 yeah

14:00

that's getting deleted we need to take

14:01

put it in that one that one yeah yeah

14:05

swap it oh do you change it to that ring

14:08

locks in to those so what tools would

14:12

rollsroyce use hammer and

14:16

screwdriver oh look it worked there you

14:21

go oh my God look at those wir that

14:24

looks like it's a level sensor and

14:25

everything yeah but normally it's all

14:27

connected to that

14:31

all in favor of voting to keeping the

14:32

old fuel pump

14:35

in yeah we definitely changed it it's

14:38

brand brand new this one th000 miles

14:41

th000 miles it's just got a bit dirty

14:42

going from over there to here let's get

14:45

it in that fuel pump looked like it was

14:47

going to break from the moment we set

14:48

our eyes on it so we decided not to

14:51

change it but I think it' be pretty rare

14:53

if a fuel pump were to fail especially

14:55

the one in the tank but hey who knows

14:58

I'm plugging it all in in now and then

14:59

we can raise the fuel tank up and start

15:01

to do the tank strap bolts up which hold

15:03

the tank to the chassis of the car then

15:05

I can go in and connect up the filler

15:07

hoses and make sure all the clamps are

15:09

tied and that is 1 second hand fuel tank

15:13

in so just like the front the back Str

15:17

is also broken bent perished uh so we're

15:20

going to replace it off this one and put

15:23

the Sue one

15:26

on I'm not sure that's actually how you

15:29

properly do it there's got to be a

15:30

better procedure for that now the only

15:32

thing holding this Str to the car are

15:34

the top three bolts and we thought

15:36

they'd just be inside the boot but they

15:39

weren't

15:40

oh

15:42

no I haven't even looked and just based

15:45

on your reaction I know what's going to

15:48

happen do you know how you get them top

15:50

BS interior out yeah

15:56

inside here we go the worst thing is I

15:59

can't even take out the front seats to

16:00

do this because we can't open the doors

16:03

cuz because car's on the ramp well I've

16:06

got a plan Matt we going to have to do

16:07

this as a team I'm going to have to

16:10

start trying to get this out you're

16:11

going to have to pass me the tools cuz

16:13

I'm not getting in and out with the

16:14

tools so so I'm a tall

16:16

[Laughter]

16:20

lady you're joking how do you get them

16:24

[Music]

16:26

out so it looks like to get to the nuts

16:29

which hold the shock absorber in we've

16:31

got to remove the rear parcel shelf and

16:33

to remove the rear parcel shelf it looks

16:35

like we've got to remove the rear seats

16:37

but when you go in the boot there is

16:38

literally no nuts and bolts holding the

16:40

rear seats in so surely everything must

16:42

be done from inside the car T3 says 30

16:46

this is what he needs I found one T30

16:48

which was holding the bottom part of the

16:49

seat in but then I think the whole rear

16:51

bench was a complete unit oh secret door

16:56

oh secret that's it it's these two bolts

16:59

and these two and I think we might be

17:01

out now whilst we're trying to figure it

17:03

out on the mansori one my dad's trying

17:05

to figure it out on sue you don't have

17:07

to take this out you don't no oh okay

17:10

you have to take all the back seats out

17:12

parcel shelf

17:15

off what so should we shot this yeah it

17:19

seems they figured out the exact same

17:21

thing that we figured out another Secret

17:23

Door everything has to be done from

17:26

inside how are we going to get this out

17:29

the rear bench was complete and the only

17:31

way for us to get it out now is Through

17:33

the Windows it's lucky that the

17:34

Rolls-Royce has pillarless Windows

17:37

smashed it next stage is uh I think

17:40

these will just hand twist off this is

17:42

all for one suspension Str you imagine

17:44

the hours labor rolls also charges to

17:46

change this suspension stru I feel like

17:49

this is going to be blocking it well

17:51

it's got to take the headliner out as

17:52

well now it seems that the B pillar trim

17:54

is blocking the rear parcel shelf coming

17:56

out there's another thing we got to

17:57

remove fny guy

18:00

oh W okay all this for a Str I can't

18:04

believe it and back over it Su there's

18:08

progress oh yeah that's it and now I

18:11

figured out that I've got to remove the

18:12

rear door card to get this parcel shelf

18:15

off because that's also blocking it in

18:17

this is an insane amount of work just to

18:19

get to three bolts holding the strut on

18:22

hey can you see him no oh what are you

18:25

celebrating

18:27

for

18:30

now even though I've got the rear parcel

18:31

shelf off I still can't access the nuts

18:34

they're all under this sound deadening

18:36

back to the tool chest ladies and

18:37

gentlemen I'm on it one bang it they're

18:42

right here all along finally I got to

18:47

them

18:50

yeah Str out look at that and back over

18:53

at Sue it seems they were

18:56

struggling you having a good day Tony

18:58

great

19:00

day what's the hold up over here hey c

19:05

yeah there we go needs a be a to clean

19:08

up and she can go

19:10

on what a job that was just for three

19:14

bolts which could have been the other

19:17

way up why didn't they just make this

19:19

bigger and then have the bolts facing

19:21

downwards why why why why they obviously

19:23

don't want to uh people working on the

19:26

cars do they now we have the brand new

19:28

second hand suspension stru now my dad's

19:30

going to guide into place on the mansori

19:32

rolls and I'm going to put the nuts on

19:33

the top and speaking of brand new

19:35

secondhand that's a nice t-shirt you can

19:37

get for yourself with a link in the

19:38

description with that strut in we can

19:40

turn our attention to the rear subframe

19:42

we're going to try and use the original

19:44

differential because it's only done

19:45

1,000 miles and anything original of the

19:48

mansuri car because it's almost brand

19:50

new so me and my dad taking off the

19:52

differential of the second hand subframe

19:54

and taking the brake discs off along

19:56

with all the handbrake mechanism as well

19:59

and replacing it with the mansori one

20:02

it's a good job we took this one apart

20:03

because look it's also cast aluminium

20:08

which is broke again what's that bro oh

20:11

my God what this ain't even the side

20:13

that was on the accident do you reckon

20:14

old rashy boys been doing some hbre

20:16

turns in the rolling yeah do you know to

20:19

impress the girls right that's been

20:21

moved that's been trying to move with a

20:24

handbrake on another good reason of why

20:26

we have a donut car more expected damage

20:29

to the mansuri one but now we have the

20:31

subframe all ready to go back onto the

20:33

car and we've tried to make it as light

20:35

as possible to make this job as easy as

20:37

we can so we're going to lower the car

20:39

down try to get then try and get the

20:41

subframe bolts through the subframe and

20:43

bolted to the chassis then add all the

20:45

rest of the suspension to the subframe

20:47

once the car's in the air and so far our

20:49

plan seems to be

20:52

working optional

20:57

extra you've upgraded it upgrade first

21:00

upgrade done good news subframe is lined

21:04

up with the original mountains so we

21:06

know that we've got a straight subframe

21:08

and a straight car because they both

21:10

join together bad news for me though is

21:12

that when you check this car out on car

21:13

vertical it still shows the photos of it

21:17

damaged even though it's a fully clean

21:19

check with no outstanding Finance no

21:21

Marley's fraud and no records of being

21:25

damaged we explained why that was in the

21:28

last video

21:29

now I'll explain further but we've still

21:32

got the rest of the components to put on

21:34

this subframe so let's do that and I'll

21:36

explain further next up is that huge

21:38

anti- roll bar with the hydraulic lines

21:40

which go to it we put the anti-roll bar

21:42

on the subframe and now I'm connecting

21:44

up the lines again we've used the roll

21:46

bar of the original car next up is the

21:49

differential again of the original car

21:52

we've got it on a gearbox stand and

21:53

we're going to push it into place and

21:55

then tighten up all the bolts on the

21:57

subframe which

21:59

kind of went to plan oh do you know what

22:02

I just thought but it's not going to be

22:04

to lift in

22:09

without take your boat back out because

22:13

I put in the diff first I was unable to

22:15

put the prop shaft in afterwards so I've

22:17

got to loosen the diff back off to get

22:19

the prop shaft in then next up I can

22:21

start putting in all the rest of the

22:23

suspension components again of the

22:25

original car on the right hand side

22:26

because it wasn't damaged it's just a

22:30

technique now as you guys know I'm

22:32

always using car vertical to check cars

22:34

out mainly because it can uncover so

22:36

many hidden secrets about the car that a

22:38

seller might not want to tell you

22:40

remember uh we said R's been doing some

22:43

hand bre turns yeah and it snapped that

22:45

off I thought that was bolted to it took

22:48

the bolts out guess what the bit that's

22:51

broke off it not B to it no got to use

22:55

Su up then we you got to replace the

22:58

whole Hub can't believe it this this uh

23:02

whoever does the casting this cast iron

23:04

thing is not very good is it yeah

23:05

whoever does the cast aluminium on this

23:07

that's two broken bits that have failed

23:09

on this rolls the engine mount cast

23:11

broke and this handbrake cast broke so

23:15

it looks like we're going to have to

23:15

change the whole Hub just because of

23:17

this break here it's making me more and

23:20

more thankful for Sue which also has a

23:22

clean car vertical check and you can

23:25

check your car out using car vertical

23:27

and get get 20% off the check with the

23:30

link in the description box below and

23:31

using the code appearing on the screen

23:33

right now thank me later when you find

23:36

out some hidden history about your car

23:40

um carry on with uh this right the whole

23:43

rear subframe is in now we didn't expect

23:46

to use a lot of this side so um hence

23:50

why it's dirty so I think we're probably

23:51

going to get all that ice blasted and

23:53

cleaned up so it looks nice and clean

23:55

like the other side but we are a little

23:58

bit

23:59

doubtful of this rear diff now because

24:01

after we've like kind of spun the wheels

24:04

it it don't feel very smooth and we're

24:07

wondering whether when the drive shaft's

24:08

been ripped out of it whether it's

24:09

damaged it or not we know there's no oil

24:12

in it left so we've got to fill the oil

24:13

up now and there's a special way to do

24:16

that and I think that's what I'm going

24:20

to do now then we've got more fluids to

24:22

put in before we can drive

24:26

this did that did that loose break oh it

24:29

went it went it

24:30

went okay if I'm right but I am guessing

24:33

because I don't have any Rolls-Royce

24:34

manual you literally just fill it until

24:36

it starts coming out and we're going to

24:38

need a syringe for it oh gear oil stinks

24:41

SM

24:42

that o rough is it right got the diff

24:46

oil then we just inject it

24:50

in that's one in what to do it doctor in

24:56

there oh I think that's coming out now

24:59

oh yeah that's definitely coming out

25:01

that's coming out now didn't take

25:03

much can't have leaked it all

25:06

out how much they would charge you at

25:08

rolls Wars to do a diff

25:10

service that's like a three grand

25:12

service

25:14

that boom with the oil topped up in the

25:17

diff it's time to pay attention to more

25:20

fluid the C needs I've got a feeling

25:22

this is similar to the BMW M5 where you

25:24

can't just B bleed the brakes break you

25:27

can't just bleed the brakes normal

25:29

because underneath here inside there

25:33

there's like some massive ABS pump thing

25:36

and like all the air seems to collect in

25:39

there so before we had to use the code

25:42

reader to bleed the brakes what I'm

25:44

going to try and do first is an a

25:46

regular way of doing it and then if that

25:49

doesn't work we'll try the code reader

25:51

way first step is to take the cap off

25:53

the brake reservoir and top the brake

25:55

fluid up of course with valine brake

25:58

flid flid being that Weir te Valene once

26:01

we put the dot four in it's on to the

26:02

next step easy bleed aka Mr push now Mr

26:07

push as I like to call it is going to

26:09

screw onto the brake reservoir and you

26:11

can see a pipe coming off that cap into

26:13

the Mr push bottle and then another pipe

26:15

coming off that which goes down and

26:18

connects to the valve on a tire and it's

26:20

going to use the air from that tire to

26:23

pressurize the brake system there we go

26:26

oh look it's already pushed a load of

26:28

fluid through so that's putting pressure

26:31

through there now I believe it goes back

26:34

left back right front left front right

26:37

we just got to crack the nipples off so

26:38

air is being pushed from the tire down

26:41

this line here into Mr push's bottle

26:44

which is full of dot four brake fluid

26:46

and then another line is coming off Mr

26:48

push and into the brake reservoir all

26:50

I've got to do now is go around the

26:51

brake calipers and crack the bleed

26:53

nipple off and Mr push should push all

26:56

the air out of the brake system you can

26:58

see see it working on the back right

26:59

then the back left then I go to the

27:01

front left and the front right making

27:03

sure I crack both bleed nipples on the

27:06

front calipers cuz there's two on each

27:08

it's really full so we going to test it

27:12

be nice to us this interior needs a

27:14

right

27:15

clean oh yeah hang on see if we can get

27:18

a hard

27:25

pedal yeah we're going to have to plug

27:27

it in

27:28

or we just do it we're going to have to

27:30

we'll plug it in and then we'll see I

27:33

think it's going to be the same as the

27:34

M5 where we have to plug it in and go

27:37

through some special procedure but could

27:40

be wrong but yeah like all all brake

27:43

fluid was coming out every corner we've

27:45

seen it but still air in the system and

27:47

I think the air is in the ABS box so the

27:50

next step was to plug in my diagnostic

27:52

tool and see if we can bleed the brakes

27:55

electronically I think

27:59

maintenance condition based service

28:02

condition based service but it looks

28:04

like my diagnostic tool doesn't have the

28:05

option to bleed the brakes

28:07

electronically unlike what it did when

28:09

we had the M5 I even tried scanning it

28:11

as a BMW to see if I could trick it to

28:13

thinking it was a BMW and then seeing if

28:16

it would bleed that way but it didn't

28:18

work so the only option now was just to

28:20

keep going through and doing a bleed

28:22

procedure myself over and over again

28:26

yeah it's just like but it just wouldn't

28:27

work

28:28

work it's like there's no brake pads in

28:30

it it seems there was no air in any of

28:33

the brake calipers anymore but I think

28:34

the air was getting trapped in this ABS

28:36

pump and I couldn't think of any other

28:38

way to try and get it out the only other

28:40

option was to try and start the car then

28:42

bleed the brakes with it on but for me

28:44

to be able to start it I need to add the

28:46

coolant in it so it don't overheat next

28:48

up

28:50

coolant again not a simple task of just

28:52

pouring it in we've got coolant

28:54

reservoir for the engine there which

28:56

actually goes down and goes into this

28:58

big tank on side and then also a coolant

29:02

tank for the charge cooler system on the

29:06

BMW M3 we only had to vacuum fill the

29:11

this side of the coolant the engine side

29:13

and we just poured it into that and that

29:15

actually works so I'm going to go with

29:17

that theory let's vacuum fill that with

29:21

coolant then we should be able to run it

29:23

then we'll try doing the brakes oh and

29:26

we've still got that to put in as well

29:28

which is power steering and I think the

29:31

power steering fluid uses the same fluid

29:34

for the anti-roll bars as well I've

29:36

never heard of it before but I think it

29:37

does so out comes the vacuum filler

29:40

we've used this endless amount of times

29:42

on the channel and if you don't know

29:44

what this does by now I would suggest

29:46

just subscribing to the channel because

29:48

we use this on a regular also if you

29:50

subscribe it will keep you up today on

29:52

this full build anyway the good news is

29:55

it looks like the whole calling system

29:56

is holding a vacuum which means we have

29:59

no leaks in it now we're taking our

30:01

Valene coolant making sure we get no air

30:03

in the line and we're going to connect

30:05

that up to the vacuum that's been pulled

30:07

from the cooling system and now it's

30:08

going to suck all the coolant into the

30:11

cooling system which will make sure we

30:13

won't get any air locks and with no air

30:15

locks it means the car won't overheat so

30:17

far it's looking good we're then going

30:19

to take the vacuum filler off and top

30:21

the rest of the coolant up and then

30:22

pouring the coolant to the charge

30:24

cooling side this cooling system is just

30:26

for cooling down the two turbos which

30:29

are on this car and I don't think this

30:31

needs to be vacuum filled then after

30:33

that we just need to add the hydraulic

30:35

fluid for the steering rack and the anti

30:37

roll bars right so we start it see if it

30:41

runs the temperature bleed the

30:44

brakes yeah if it runs the temperature

30:46

we'll bleed the brakes if we can bleed

30:48

the brakes we can put the wheels on and

30:50

we can roll it out and then start

30:51

attacking that door I think we've got a

30:53

bit of brake pressure yeah so enough to

30:55

start I think so so is it ignition on

31:08

just needed to top up a bit more of the

31:10

hydraulic fluid now that it's run around

31:12

the system and then we can check the

31:13

brakes again both sides cooling it's

31:15

good should we try and bleed the brakes

31:17

again okay it's really spongy though

31:19

isn't it like we've got no brake pedal

31:21

oh my that we got nothing I don't know

31:25

how much difference it would have made

31:26

bleeding the brakes with the car on but

31:28

quite clearly no difference at all ah

31:32

was is it not

31:34

working I might break the pedal there's

31:36

got to be a procedure with the auto it's

31:39

got to be have you noticed that

31:41

everything we've done has been really

31:44

anti-

31:45

DIY like it will stop it will stop but

31:48

it ain't going to stop like it'll be

31:50

enough to roll us

31:53

out so even though we haven't managed to

31:56

get the brakes bled properly I still

31:58

wanted to attempt to move and drive this

32:00

car being that now we've got the front

32:02

subframe the rear subframe and the

32:05

differential on and the new fuel tank it

32:07

should technically drive so I've gone

32:10

and got the wheels off Sue and then we

32:12

can lower the car down and try and move

32:14

it for the first time since the

32:17

[Music]

32:20

accident why the back that high the

32:23

thing is as well we haven't plugged in

32:25

any of the rear suspension so it has no

32:27

idea what it's doing with the ride High

32:29

time to roll it forward for the first

32:31

time since the

32:36

accident it's

32:39

working and so far so good it's driving

32:43

but the back end of the car is so

32:46

high is that going off it was a second

32:49

ago this side's gone off that front's g

32:52

up look at that oh yeah oh look it's

32:54

like leing

32:56

itself at the look it's doing a

33:02

Wheeling it's gone from literally like

33:04

that to like that I don't think you're

33:06

supposed to drive rolls royes without

33:08

that thing plugged in no I don't think

33:10

so I also think you're meant to have

33:12

airbags in you're also meant to have

33:14

brakes and also what's going to be an

33:17

issue if we drive this is just going to

33:21

sling open so uh all in favor of taking

33:25

it off all now we're going to need to

33:28

replace this whole passenger door anyway

33:30

along with the wing mirror and the glass

33:33

as well the only thing that's worth

33:34

keeping off this door is the door card

33:36

so before we take the door off I'm going

33:38

to remove the door card first making

33:41

sure not to break anything because I'm

33:43

pretty sure this mansori interior is

33:45

around ยฃ33,000

33:47

however outrageous it may be now that

33:50

I've got the door card unclipped I need

33:52

to remove all the electrical connections

33:54

from it and I can start removing the

33:55

door from the car now first step is to

33:58

disconnect the electronics from the

33:59

chassis of the car then there's the bolt

34:01

for the check strap and then one bolt

34:03

which holds the top hinge and one bolt

34:05

which holds the bottom hinge we just

34:08

about got the door

34:11

off

34:16

go and now she's ready for the first

34:21

drive it's

34:23

time for no breaks in a Rolls-Royce and

34:27

one door and a really dirty steering

34:33

wheel it's moving it feels massive this

34:37

is the first time you drove a ro yeah it

34:39

feels massive it's ridiculous isn't it

34:41

you don't know where the rest of the car

34:42

is it's out the unit no it's actually

34:45

made it out

34:47

yeah yes this was it I was actually

34:51

driving at rashford's Old rollsroyce for

34:54

the first time since the accident what a

34:56

car

34:58

I've got no breaks every warning light

35:00

on the dashboard is a joke they we

35:04

cruising in rashford's Old

35:06

rollsroyce

35:09

yeah now it does look a mess I'll agree

35:12

with you there but what an achievement

35:14

so far to actually get this thing moving

35:17

we're one step closer

35:20

now

35:22

nice it's

35:23

[Music]

35:26

good

35:30

so it's driving it's rolling the first

35:32

time I've ever driven a RS voice wave I

35:36

didn't imagine it to be like this but

35:38

hey you can't pick and choose can you at

35:41

all we need to solve the brake issue we

35:43

need to do all the airbags we need to do

35:45

the damage on the rear quarter there's

35:48

still a lot to

35:50

do look at all those

35:56

chickens

36:03

like a

36:04

drug I just can't deny giving me the

36:07

best time
