Exploring the Australian outback in a Land Rover Series 3
When S**T goes bad on 5 day classic bike adventure-now 6 days-part 2
So this started out as a small reliability test trip on my 40 year old Honda xl250s. Lets just say it failed the test, even though I still got back. However, because it failed, things got way better !.

Where Land Rovers go to Die

This is older footage I recently found stored away. I could have deleted it but I figured someone might get a kick out of watching a massive machine pick up a stripped Discovery one and throw it in a pile like its a toy. The footage is the best I could do as I wasnt actually allowed to film at the scrap yard.
I test the Emergency 4wd glass break tool-best $25 ever !

The tactical pen. Supplied by Archer Accessories to help off roaders get out of their vehicles when things go bad. Well worth having on the sunvisor for peace of mind.

Sarah, Charlie and I are invited to a classic car meet called "Cars and Coffee". It's a meet that happens the second sunday of every month. I'm told this happens around the country in similar ways. We had a great morning and met some lovely people, and marveled over some fantastic machines.
Land Rover Series removable crossmember modification-Very easy !
มุมมอง 14K7 ปีที่แล้ว
This is the Removable Gearbox crossmember modification I did to my Series 3 Land Rover we use as a daily driver. It's surprising that Land Rover fitted a removable Crossmember to their Military series 3 Land Rovers, but this wasn't done to the civillian versions. I had the big trip to Melbourne coming up and was bloody nervous about taking poor old Charlie on a 4000km round trip with 3.5 ton be...
FLOODED OUT-CYCLONE DEBBIE HITS THE GOLD COAST
มุมมอง 7K7 ปีที่แล้ว
Please excuse the audio, we had the waterproof housings on the Sony cams for this video, for obvious reasons. This is the aftermath of cyclone Debbie that hit North Queensland. We felt the brunt of it down in South East Queesnland. Jack, Charlie and I travel up a local valley that has been severly affected by flood waters in our long suffering Land Rover Series 3 named Charlie.

😂 you were suppose to spray the fire extinguisher into the air filter. It clogs it up so the engine can't get air; resulting in killing the motor.
Eeewwww! Did you really just spray a chemical extinguisher in there? Suppose to use CO2 type…lol.
Yeah, that engine really blew up didnt it? Assuming blowing up means not blowing up.
Who the hell carries a piece of wood with them in their personal car?
the best chance without a doubt is to cut off air
having an E-powered winch has some big drawbacks to. If your battery dies, it's all over as well.
Blocking the air intake does work but you can’t use something solid like a block of wood like you guys tried, use something like a pair of leather welding gloves or leather welding apron and then something solid so you don’t risk your hand but the leather welding gloves or apron works great to seal
What a cool video!!!! 😊
Awesome video! 😊
Looks like a pigs vag
Such a cool video… 😊
Love this video ! Such a beautiful valley ! ❤
That's bloody awesome i recently did a similar trip from Wellington to Walkworth and back with a double axle tailer. Im my 1975 S3 short wheel base origensl motor 2.25 to pick up a 1954 86" S1. 11h there 16h home none stop.
It's a terrible company all round. This is what happens when people run something half assed. I've been to Vancouver, and it's a contagious attitude problem, born from having a hugely overcrowded (and huge client base) and this is what happens and when customer service evaporates. You don't get this problem in NZ with your population. Btw it's the same in the uk now, supermarket attitudes are go somewhere else if you don't like it, there's one born every minute (customer) and that goes for the way they treat their staff too.
Your saying that it's a great product, but the video doesn't actually describe a good product!?
It works to put it in gear UNLESS the clutch is bad/worn out.
I wonder if it's that bad if the engine is just idle rpm
rough as guts
Usually by the time you realize what is happening and get the hood open all the oil has been sucked out the engine and it has blown a rod through the side of the block.A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION!I would never recommend any attempts to stop it.JUST WALK AWAY and get some clean air then call a tow truck.😮
i mean, petrols could probably take a little more water through the intake than diesels as diesels have a higher compression ratio. hydrolock is when theres water in the chamber and the piston comes up on the compression stroke to compress fuel and air mixture but as we all know, you cannot compress water, so you hear very loud knocking and bangs which is the pistons cracking or the conrods are snapping/bending and hitting
Very well done and thanks 😊. Very sad this lovely land-rover 's are no more in manufacture and supply any more 😢 i new generation will never understand it ?unless you have one once? In lifetime 😢😢
was the fire extinguisher a DCP or CO2?
Nice trip mate, where did you get the seatbelts from? My car don’t have seatbelts and I want to upgrade for safety
Poly bushes don't last as long as oem ones, replace countless of the poly type that have just degraded in a few years.
Standard on the military Lightweight, trouble is I only found that out after I’d removed my gearbox the traditional Haynes workshop manual way through the cab area! 🤪
The inuitive physics say - remove the fuel or the air. If you can stop air flow, it can’t combust. But in practice….
"Give it some spray" I hope you chose an angle to see in video.
I wonder if you left the car in gear and slowly towed it, it might force the engine to rotate and eject the water? If you did it in a high gear, it would turn the engine more slowly and with more torque (because reverse power through a gearbox reverses the ratio) Edit: oh... There's water in the sump. Nevermind.
i run a 72 shortie all over fraser havent found any hard parts even up to the bonnet water crossings with a petrol never missed a beat
What a great piece... are you still around?
I have seen many LR owners do the gearbox x-member modification, but why did you have to do it 3 days before the trip? Did you plan to have your gearbox out in the duration?
Not my shed its a guys who let me use his lift hes a bit of a hoarder damn threw a little shade a man who let you use his stuff nice .
Why couldn't you just use food colouring 😂
Russel fores diy
Would the rag bind up the turbo if you let it get sucked in?
Turn the ignition off... lol
ya need big cooling funds on the head
got the same bike
Rufford ford, brought me here.
Hey mate, where did you get the luggage rack for this? I'm currently restoring the same bike in Brissie & am looking at doing some similar trips 👌
Cut all air off and if you have spare oil oversaturate which is still a gamble but it can still combust of feul/oil mixture or co2 fire extinguisher will eliminate oxygen thus suffocating the diesel
I can't hear the L76 gear-box 😀
Hello again, I very much would appreciate some more details on the towing system. I understand that the brake force is controlled by the black box on the dash. Apart from applying manually, how is the braking force built up?
Hello and thanks for the vid. In Europe, Land Rover recommends a max towing load of 2tons. Besides this, there are a few Series 3 road legal with a higher capacity, some eben 3.5 to total trailer mass . But you need a certification of a technical control authority ( TÜV,Dekra,) , MOT in UK. The easiest way to convice the engineer, a Series Land Rover can tow 3.5 ton on the hitch, is a lettre from Land Rover, stating this as possible. Nowadays, they would not do you this favour - I guess. How is this in Aussie?
A Landrover series3 can tow 4.5 tonnes if it has electronic braking system including breakaway safety.... something like that. In Australia
Hi and thanks for the vid. Did you weld the flange flush to the edge of the shakle-studtube? Or did you leave a gap of about 3 mm for the flange of the PU bush?
5 years later and no one checked that the wood method didn't work because of the crankcase ventilation. :D
Is it really a good product? You prominently show the production quality in terms of accuracy. I would have send them back. I bought a set if four, shocks included, for our 109 Series 3, ex-mod (thus extended springhangers), 1984, before we start a trip to Moroc. The delivered shocks did not fit ( too short). We bought a proper set from a different supplier in the UK. The new sprjngs lifted the vehicle - about 4 inches (if my memory doesn't fool me), so we bought customized propshafts (UK, HD style, wider articulation). Three months and about 4 000 kilometers later, a front spring layer broke with a loud bang, fortunately at about 30 km/h , but in the early night on a gravel " green" lane, elsewhere 👍in a dark forest. We carefully drove back and checked-in on a campsite. Rocky Mountain could not send a replacement spring to the campsite in Moroc, so we bought a set of Britparts via Paddock spares, UK, and let them sent to ADAC, Munich, ( Great organization in Germany for supporting car owners and drivers in case of a break-down). They managed the customs regulations. Now, five years later and about 5 ooo kilometers in addition on the clock, the bushes ( rubber) are shot. The parabolics - front and rear - sagged to the level the old genuine provided. From this experience, I wouldn't buy Rocky Mountain again.
Job well done. I wonder, if it is neccasary to weld the spacers to the hangers.
Co2 Fire Extinguisher will work!
A short wheel base would be better for such a trail don't you think?
