I hope you're wrong :)

@@lozl 😆

Many thanks. Glad you enjoyed the video

You're welcome. Timing belt is due again now. I might actually being looking back at this video for help.... from me... hahaha

I know right! It was beautiful! It was so clean, the body and paintwork was perfect. I was in love. The engine however was missing several stables of horses.

Many thanks, glad you enjoyed the vid

Thats a great idea. I will do a how it works video at some point. Cheers dude. I was meaning to find yoy and send you my Instagram @wotpower1000 If you wanted to see where the machine is at now....

Good plan! Stainless should do a great.job. thanks for taking the time comment. Good luck with the work

Tim, you're too kind. Thanks for taking the time to comment. It's more about the welder than the operator, the R-tech is a fantastic bit of kit. I'm not sure how kuchen footage I have of the calibration but I plan to do a video entirely on calibration on the new channel at some point. I will of course put details of the new channel on here when I get it up and running. Thanks again. With so few views these comments keep me making the videos.

Thanks for comment Adrian, and thanks for watching. They only really rot at the out riggers, the rest was all perfect (well the steel was maybe not the paint). And it would have been a much more substantial project, trying to keep everything straight after welding is very challenging. It would have been cool to have a SS chassis though :) Good luck with your purchase.

Thanks buddy. I have a mountain to climb to get the rest of the footage onto YT. There's a lot!

Hahahahaha, thanks man.

That sounds very cool indeed! God knows the Thor had its problems but in many ways its the best of them, the plenum is much better arrangement than the older engines. That sounds like an excellent conversion, I bet that's fantastic. I had an SD1 on my Rolling Road the other day, a 4.3 with TVR heads, inlet and throttle body. Sounds ded lovely with the exhaust headers too. Is your SD1 online anywhere??

I'm afraid the landrover has been gone for some time now, but if memory serves..... With everything switched off there shouldn't be any power in the rear loom at all. So I think you have a fault at the front end somewhere, perhaps a switch issue? Its very difficult to offer help without spending some time with the car and a multimeter though. I hope.you get.to the bottom of it.

Thanks for your kind comments :) that moment, or the anticipation of that moment can provide months or even years of motivation. We clearly share the same mental problems :)

Many thanks! Glad to help

Awesome, thanks Gilbert, I will do that the next time I inevitability have it take it apart

@@lozl no worries, did the lock on mine yesterday but then this morning on way to work it lost power, I’m hoping it’s just a vacuum hose on the turbo… 🤞🏼

@@gilbertsprojects2954 oh rubbish! Good luck getting to the bottom of it

Thanks for your kind comment, reading comments like this is so motivational. I hadn't worked on a land rover before, but I have worked a fair bit on cars, I always refer to the manual for torque settings, and often look for YT videos foe the complicated stuff like the gearbox and bits of the axles. Jeffrey Croker from New Zealand does some very good videos that I referred to. But it is a reqlly simple vehicle, its a lovely thing to work on. If it doubt take a few photos as things come apart. Good luck with your project it going to be great fun. Thanks again

Thabks for your kind comment. Yeah that makes sense. I messed about for a good while with it. The great thing is all that power. It's more powerful than quite a number of a petrol strimmers. Try the thicker line. I think you'll find thats all you'll need.

Thanks for your kind comment. They're great cars, bit yeah!!! Front suspension and wet interiors are their thing

Many thanks. Glad you enjoyed the vid :)

Yes it was pretty awesome. I am a Volkswagen beetle guy but recently I came across a one owner 109 landRover here in Kenya and have already asked for the owners if they could sell it to me as it's been parked since 1991 and just waiting for their good response now hopefully I get to own it soonest.😊

@@ghalibabubaker88abubaker87 That's very exciting. That would be a lovely old thing to own. Good luck getting hold of it

Thanx and God willing once i have it I will surely share some videos of the landRover with you😊

It was from NC tractors in Northern Ireland.

Thanks :)

Many thanks. If memory serves it was the marine grey from dingocroft... I think

Many thanks:) glad you enjoyed tye video

Glad.to help

Glad to help

Excellent work. I would love a 4000 one day. What a cracking little work horse. Thanks for your kind comment

@@lozl they can do alot of work (some they shouldn't 🤣) great wee machine. Nothing wrong with the 3000 series either. We use ours for all the sowing and topping, mixes the odd tank if it needs an extra pump

Thanks for your kind comment :) no thar was all standars, just the chunky tyres. They really would have helped though

@@lozl You are most welcome. I would like to ask, if there's any spacer suitable for original pcd landy rim tyres?

@@noLza88retro I'm afraid I don't know. It was all done for a neighbour of ours. So I just did as he asked. I know the later defender wheels fitted, they are an inch or so wider, 7j over 5j or something like this. But it won't give it much of a wider track.

@@lozl Oh it's okey.. Nevermind.. By the way, thanks for your kind response and information.🙏👍

@@noLza88retro my pleasure

Yes it had new core plugs throughout. See 0:56 in this video from the series: th-cam.com/video/HE-NT_0sI68/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ea5scjm2Zu-XxzT4 Thanks for comments :)

Couldn't agree more! It's a lovely thing. I've grown to love ours. I've been towing the a rolling road around recently, the rover engine is doing a fantastic job, taking the total 5 tons of train weight in its stride.

Exciting! I love an engine rebuild! If I remember correctly there's an arrow on the piston top and it should always point towards the front of the engine. This is because of the offset wrist pin, reducing the side loading on the bore.

Thats great to hear, you're too kind 😊 I want to do more filming with him. I think the brother banta probably makes the videos easier to watch. Hopefully he might come help out when I have the rolling road up and running (first test is happening this week). I really need to start sorting that footage and make another video..... Yeah that first test drive was pretty scary,... really scary! But it went pretty well after all. I'm sure you saw but the gearing is quite long in this one with the Ashcroft high ratio transfer case upgrade. I don't suppose it will be doing 65mph much after this run. Thanks again for the comment its great getting comments like this.

@lozl hats off to you, it's great to all be able to enjoy experiences vicariously. It reminds me that I, too, should be making videos of where I live and sharing the crazy adventures. You just may be the catalyst I needed. Thanks again.

@@IAm1InTheIAm you must! Especially if you've considered it. Get on it! I will subscribe and wait to see the adventures unfold.

You're too kind, many thanks 😊 Yes I believe that's right. It was a year or more back now and the owner has sold it. Yeah I believe the weber is a good choice. It was a great project, I really enjoyed the series land rover.

Its always very satisfying knowing you've saved a huge dealership bill:)

@@lozl the Nissan dealer wanted $110 to replace a headlight bulb, so I dropped into Napa Autoparts and got the bulb for about $25 and took about 5 minutes to change it. Amazing how much of the LEAF just seems to "snap" together.

@@StephenVermeulen That's rediculous! That's daylight robbery! Nissan main steeler! Yeah I've found the same, it comes apart and goes back together without much fuss.

Thanks, you're too kind! 😘 yes I just bought the same part twice.

Helen, you can do it. Single mum or not. Make sure you work safely, perhaps get a friend to help. But there no reason you can't do it.

Thanks for your kind comment, I don't think I'd looked up how to put the bell housing, just went with something that made sense :) I have looked through the video and haven't been able to spot any blue stuff in a yellow tube? At what time in the video do you see the blue stuff?

6.47 - I assume it's some kind of Gasket maker?@@lozl

@@elgrimio oh yeah, that's 'Hylomar Blue' it's a non setting sealant, it's very good stuff. I'm not sure why I chose that over an RTV sealant. As long as its resistant to gear oils it doesn't matter which you use really.

Good question..... I painted some of the panels that's were steel and rusty, but the floor panels were aluminium. They require a more complex paint process and that paint would have worn off more quickly given that they are floor panels so I left them.

Thanks buddy, I'm good. I really need to get back to video making but I've had a deadline with the RR.... soon

Thabks for watching, and thabks fir taking the time to comment. Your channel looks very interesting, I'm now subscribed and will have a binge watch soon :)

@@lozl seperate playlists on each landy rebuild

@@t.h.o.r. I'm liking the look of the "of piste" projects you doo too. I once tried to make an oil burner for the lounge with a sirlong engine sticking out the side using a Honda VFF400 engine. It so nearly worked but there was a little too much friction in the engine. So your burner caught my eye

Thanks 😊 glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for the comment

Thanks jono

Thanks for you support watching the videos. Your Viva sounds awesome! Do you have a build thread ona forum or anything? The website you need is trident racing supplies. This is the link to the aviation bolts page tridentracing.co.uk/product/bolts-aircraft-spec/ The website is very clunky, but they're great over the phone and very knowledagble so give them a call and explain what you're after. Hope this helps

@@lozl brilliant! Thanks for the info. Will deffo look into it. The Vivas fun. It's my daily but it's constantly being tweaked. I'd made some itb s from bike throttle bodies, was pretty mental but was making it hard to make a base tune so dropped back on the omega set up very similar to yours. I'll revisit the itbs at some point as it's audacious 😁. I don't have a build thread as I'm not on Facebook anymore. Not sure how to share email on here without everyone seeing, Bit of a luddite hahahah. Probably still wouldn't be hard to track me down via the viva pages , there's only 3 Vivas I know of with the xe V6 in and we're in contact. Am lovin' your work though, keep it up. There's not a lot of content out there regarding vauxhall v6s out there.

@@flexifitnessyogaandpilates9315 I'll have a look for Vivas with xe engines. It sounds wicked. I like the idea of ITBs but I've heard many times that they're hard to map and fueling is less accurate at light throttle. But I net it sounded awesome. I couldn't agree more. Its a very underrated engine. It's so strong, simple and powerful for its compact size. I love it.

You're welcome
