Same spheres as citreon

Well done great work great video can’t wait for the next one thanks

🧠💪💚🤝🙋‍♂️.🙏

The smoke was the oil you put in the bores....only thing i would have done differently is have a fire extinguisher to hand just in case there was a fuel leak. Looks like its the bargain of the century..nice one...from a new subscriber

Have a look at the spheres.......made by Citroen. Maybe cheaper from them....

What a result,and she started so easy ,look forward to the progress,well done and thanks for letting us join in your excitement.

£2000 come on !!!. The front grill is worth £1500 alone. Nice to see it start though.

If there was ever a “barn find” car that was going to start first time it was this one. When you have worked your magic on her Paul she is going to be your forever car 👏👏👏

Please ..o please give the car a wash 🙏

Well done,I'm glad you have had a good result...good to see someone who still uses red x....great product one I've used since 1975...👍

The late Queens Bentley was the same color. I hope the Spirit Of Extacy gets sorted out👍👍👍

Wow 1 video on cranking over and another on start up, milking the content bud glad it's running well

Bloody Brilliant!!! Can't wait to see the drive to the MOT 😅

Fantakka

These are big - lazy engines…loads of torque…especially in “Turbo R” form. Nicely done.

Well worth the wait - you played it safe but I have a feeling she would have started back in that Hotel Car Park with a new battery. I have no patience though -kudos to you for doing it properly

Sweet as a nut

Love it 🎉

try bleeding any air out of both hydraulic systems

Congratulations! What an exciting moment. There's nothing like preparation before a start after a long time of not running, and this was proof it was time well spent.

Absolutely incredible. She actually started on the FIRST turn of the ignition key!! She smoked like blue murder, but... she's a RUNNER, Paul!! Absolutely well done you, young man. I told you she would run, didn't I? And she DROVE as well! Even more incredible! Many congratulations to you. Now you HAVE to restore her properly now...

Beautiful, my dream, but i prefer the most common mkI Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit of the 80s, maybe for the history, the Silver Spirit is a car fantastic only in the british isles, abroad with a Italian or german or french numberplate is not a nice car

I didn’t realise there was a 3 door version, apart from the GRMN

Getting there Getting there Getting there 👍

Good on you for attempting this Herculean task! Between yourself and My Mate Vince, the price of cheap Rolls Royces are suddenly rising! Absolutely Must See TV!

nice work i think as you know the key works drivers door close everything lock door and see if key alarm thing works the heater fan not sure on that one it’s a big car and a big fan i hire so might not be like other cars ❤ love your progress with the weather stopping you if buy a cheap gazibo and crack on ❤

I have the same pioneer speaker but dont have the 2 way wire that comes in the box. Can i cut the original adapter that connects to the stock speaker and solder those wires onto the pioneer speaker in the correct + and - way?

You must have some very sympathetic neighbours.

I have the 2012 Yaris zr 1.5 best car I have ever owned coming from big v8 and turbos.

This is so brilliant to follow. I enjoy your clear and short comments and your methodical approach to things. It's always a pleasure to watch you working on this fabulous car. As far as I know, it has a Zytek engine management system. This usually is the problem on these cars. If this is working well, you have won the battle.

Very interesting,even if I do not have the roller...I think most of us want to see it being washed up.....and the mechanics as well... Keep up the good work

Hi, keep it going...lots to learn I have the same...an 06 car with 07 model....😊

New plugs are always a good plan…………….

Nice one Paul. Like i said last week, don't rush into it, most of us are here from the start of your XK adventure and like your style and pace. Fingers crossed for some good weather! 😉

Teaching all wannabe mechanics how to do things the proper way👍 looking forward to the startup , I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed for you big man 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I would put something on your wing to protect the paint when working on the engine.

Pity about those screws. This is what happens when people use power tools and don't start the screws in the threads by hand first! At least it looks like the posts are hex bar and could be replaced, or removed to make tapping them and getting the swarf out easier. Nice video - you are doing what a lot of us dream about but never get to do for lots of reasons!!

Careful use of a pressure washer would advance this rather than a ‘Hoover’.

You did the right thing by removing the spark plugs and putting engine oil down the bores before cranking the engine. I reckon the engine will fire up on the button because you could smell petrol coming out of the spark plug holes after you cranked the engine.

I would recommend a pair of gloves 🧤🧤🧤

Awesome work, this car has certainly got the owner it deserves.

Should be good for a start next time , well done

I think you are doing patience, methodical job of prepping the car.

Please don't speed up and time lapse etc etc, if it ain't broke !!! I and anyone else watching can fast forward if they wish as they will only miss that which they don't want to see anyway ! Great channel Paul, really enjoyable. Pity for me you don't own an S-Type 😥

Just a little to Dramatic with the screws.

Really enjoying this project, thank you

Your car looks in very good condition other than the dirt. Any idea why it's stood so long? Glad you took the trouble to take out the plugs and lubricate the bores. Too many idiots on UA-cam are gun-hoe about cranking an engine that's stood a while, with no clue as to the damage they may be doing. Maybe you missed a trick by not also pulling the fuse for the fuel pump? According to the first episode of the most recent Bangers and Cash Restoring Classics series where they were recommisioning a similar car, you should also pull the relay/fuse for the wipers and the gear selector on the Rolls to avoid potential mishap. The wiper motor crank arm can take your arm off it starts while reaching through it to access other parts. I agree with the other comments - an interesting project but the videos are a bit slow moving and I think you're being a little over cautious. Just do the basics and go for it. Lubricate the bores, turn the engine by hand if you can, check for a spark, get the old fuel out, add fresh fuel, check the oil and coolant and maybe the air filter if you want to and just try starting. Have an assistant to watch for fuel leaks and go from there.

I’d go for new oil and oil filter and drain the petrol and put new petrol in before starting, engine plus new oil round the engine when it’s been standing for years is a good idea. Good luck.

Good informativ video.. it´s good help when looking for at cheap, but ok car....I have been looking for one of those 3 brands the last year.. unsure which one to buy, and it must be with a removable towbar, and that narrows the list very much.. here in Denmark, the 2012 / 2013 models cost in average around 3500-4500 pounds, Toyota's beeing a bit more expensive, and the few with very low mileage, cost more... I must go see the other videos now.. etc.. 🙂

Hi very interesting vidoe i have just started out collecting as well, i hope you don't mind me saying the neck of the filler cap can be straighted, also how did you clean the cap up.. steve
