Possibly for the passenger 😅

Hi! After the swap she ways 2270kg with a tank of fuel and one passenger onboard (30kg less than before!). We have been getting around 30mpg on mixed roads (lots of hills around us!)

Yep, first fire 👍 warms up pretty quickly as well 👍 those German's know a thing or two 😉🤣

@@motorsandmetal313 you’re right Germany hasn’t missed

Soon be christmas 🎄

Funny that.... That was the first time moving it or starting it since we brought it and was the first tractor we had owned. We got the hydraulics working and then sold it on to fund other projects. Just interested in what you would have done differently?

Thanks 👍 see how we built it in our other videos👍😉

Ha! Only limited by budget 🤣👌

Thanks Jordan! Thanks for subbing aswell 👍 👍 I think it just comes down to luck to be honest! As you can see from our turbo... we don't have much of that! 😅🤣

I'm not 100% sure on your question.... but.... The shifter itself is BMW X5 e53 and the transmission is controlled by its internal electrics (linked the the engine ECU via CAN) just as it was in the original car 👍 Feel free to ask more 👍

@@motorsandmetal313 Lovely informative video. Thanks for sharing. how did you extend the shifter cable from the lever to the transmission, while maintaining its acuracy and functionality.👍

@@kaelomakati I ran the BMW shifter cable as far as it would go, mounted the end and coupled it straight to another cable (you can buy any length with threaded ends) thay then connected to the transmision in the standard fashion. Hope that makes some sense!?

Engine RPM, Turbine RPM, accelerator pedal angle, engine temperature and transmission temperature... Possibly one more but I can't remember 😅 mainly interested in the RPMs and temps 👍

Yep, there is a lot of rubbish out there unfortunately!! These parts looked very good and fitted very well 👍 and today after 9 and a half hours of driving.... I can safely say the gear ratio was a good choice 👌👍

It's difficult to say for sure... The valve body with the swarf is from a gear ox we haven't used... So it could have existed from that... Or it could (probably) be something breaking down within the box we are running.. Without pulling it completely to bits etc.... It is however driving really well since this work... But obviously it's still old! Now knowing the current mechatronic is clean... If we pull it apart in the future and find it full of bits ... Then it's this box.... If it's clean.... All good 🤷👍

Send us the details over, we will look into it 😁👍

Woops! Thanks for pointing that out. Links have been updated on the page👍 Also link in the description for this video 👍 shout if it still doesn't work for you😉

It is! Well spotted 👍

Hi David, agreed more road based tyres would be suited for the drag strip... However this is at the end of the day our daily/ work truck 😅 so it goes as we run it👍 it's also hard to find a 'road' tyre in an appropriate size. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍

Hopefully next time we will have more time there and we can get Keri down the track in it aswell 👍👍 It was super smooth down the track, very easy. No extra safety equipment required for this event and because we are under 110mph ... Transmission - Same oil just over full... Seems this can over pressure the hydraulics and potentially damage the internals... Will see how it drives this week now everything has been checked 🤞👍

Funny, Keri and I were talking about lanoguard whilst doing this! We still have a lot to do chassis wise so maybe once a bit further along we may lanoguard it 👍👍 Thanks for the comments, next video of us at the drag strip will be up soon!!!

Lanolin gets my vote and afaik, lanoguard has the most lanolin in it. Easy and pleasant to use ....... use it on my S3 and g.f's old air cooled vw. Smells a bit sheepy for a while, takes a while to go waxy ..... doesnt dry and flake like waxoyl etc. MOD use lanolin for storage ..... very impressed with it. They do a grease as well which l have been using as antisieze (but not on brakes!) Liking the f.c - its a beast!

Thank you 👍 see how we got on at the drag strip in the next video... Live in a couple of days 👍👍

Thanks for the heads up 👍

Thanks 👍

Thanks 👍 be sure to follow along with the other related videos 😉👍

🤣 I suppose a bit of a buss man's holiday for you!? I believe this one was in fact a fund raiser for the air ambulance...😉👍

Suspect the leaking exhaust manifold may have cooked the solenoid.... Or it just failed.. Either way we should notice if this one fails 👍

Cheers 👍 🤞🤞🤞🤞

I do, however, distinctly remember asking for STACKS. its a straight 6 STACKS is what it needs

Cheers, hopefully show it driving early next week.... Fingers crossed!

Killed the lt77 back in February, in a snow storm going up a hill late at night 🤣 Felt I have done plenty with tdi's previously and the m57 is an attractive choice! Auto because there is no clutch to kill 👍🤣 Hopefully have it driving at the weekend... Auto could bite us yet... Only time will tell 👍

@Motors and Metal uk I swopped one of the later engines and a 6HP into my L322 Rangie after it shat its second 5L40E at the end of last year. Transformed the car entirely for the better, and should be great in an FC. My IIB is going manual as the chassis is galvanised and the auto combo is too long to fit between crossmembers without cutting. The IIA might get an auto as I don't mind cutting the chassis on it.

@@Daslandroverman sounds great 👍 the chassis on this has been hacked around previous to me... So I don't mind chopping it some more 🤣 It will get a new chassis at some point!

🤣 sadly it sold with the engine! If you want one .... Get in touch.... Send one over and we can chop it up 😉

Nice one 👍 I will get one ordered 👌 hydraulics are now fully functional, should be doing an update video on this soon 👍

@@motorsandmetal313 i had a Dexta about 7 years ago i completely rebuilt the engine as a conrod went through the side of the engine block i bought the tractor like it from a local cricket club and so bought a good second hand engine block and put all new internals in it crank pistons rings liners the lot. Then completely shot blasted and painted the whole tractor she looked lovely when she was done see my video on TH-cam. Also when you take the cover off the rear of the pump it wont just come off theres a spring in there from what i remember and i think theres a pin that holds the diaphram on the end of the pump rack its a little bit tricky just take your time and the cover will come off there might even be a video on bow to do it on TH-cam its not hard just tricky getting the cover off to get to the diaphram.
