A quick update from this end! Since the the LR4 is up for sale I can't really travel or do much far away from the garage I have it stored in case of a sell/showing happening. But been using the Series 3 as my daily going back and forth between jobs, small trips and other day to day tasks.
As much as I do love the LR4, the simplicity of the new platform is really refreshing. Mechanically there is some small, and one big thing to address with the S3. But apart from that it's behaving very nicely.
Once the Discovery is sold, I'm heading back on the road and will be able to once again create much more frequently! As of now, I'm stuck with the bills for two cars and kinda limited because of that.
Thanks for watching,

Wise choice, sir! The simplier the better!
Cheers! Especially with full time travel where more parts means more headaches
I think you going to nail this build, after seeing what you did to your 2014 model! One step at the time!
Thanks! This has its charm even stock, so almost anything will look cool with this 😎👍
When you get your hands on them, you always manage to multiply the beauty of these cars through your own aesthetic goals. Im happy that I’ll be here to watch the process as it happens!
Cheers!
Your last rig was pretty cool, but i can't wait to see where this one goes! Love it already.
Thanks for that!
Loved the old Scania and Volvo busses by the shop!
A bit of everything down there!
Beautiful filming and a stunning project. Old Land Rovers are utterly addictive and have such soul.
Thanks! Something really special about these tin cans 🙏
This is going to be an exciting watch! Sad to see you separate from the D4. You did an amazing job with that too. New owner will be very lucky to have her
Thanks! Yeah, a pitty but much needed change! 🤝
A new canvas, it's like starting all over again with the 109. Imagine a pop-up roof so that you can have some comfort inside. I'm excited to see what you do, gonna be a fun adventure.
I 100% plan on building a pop top that use the original roof at some point! A dream I’ve had since I started modifications on the discovery but realized I couldn’t really do much legally with that.
Finally a brick by brick design to play with!
Great sales pitch. Good luck Kasper. Hope you get a good price! Thanks for great content!
Thanks 🙏
Love your storytelling and editing, specially the part of playing music for "us" while you have your headphones on. nice touch.
Love the new car! congrats! To be honest it makes your content way more interesting for me to watch. Now its a real adventure! :D Simpler is better. Keep it up!
Thanks! Really refreshing swap of cars for me as well 😎🤝
One of the best engine upgrades to the series models - install a weber carb and spacer.
What an amazing development! Best of luck going forward. Looking forward to the build out!
Thanks!
the lights look amazing
Cheers 🤝
Excellent work Kasper! Now I want one even more!
Haha, I'm so in love with the simplicity
I love seeing older cars on the road 🚙
A fresh breath of air in the modern EV car scene here!
Hi Kasper, it’s been a while since I’ve started watching your videos. I’m very impressed by your life choice and i like the way you descrive your stories. You have some good mechanical skills and your cars seem always clean despite the roads you run across. Congrats and good luck with the old Defender!!
Thanks for that!🤝
I really get this. I just sold a 2006 GX470(Prado) and bought a 1994 Land Cruiser 80. While not as old or basic as this it doesn't have airbags, or ABS or backup camera or any of the amenities that the other vehicle had. But I'm refreshed by it and building it the way I want.
Sometimes I do wish I had bought an older 60 series Land Cruiser which is more similar to the experience with this Land Rover, but I think in the end I'll be happy with the 80. Especially after I finish fixing mechanical issues. I've still got an injector with some issues, and I've already put way more in the engish money wise than I wanted. And I need to sort suspension. But other that than I think it's a vehicle that is ready to go just about anywhere.
The simplicity makes it a really unique experience! Not any luxury rig, but I don’t really NEED that 🤝
Thank you for sharing. Stunning video and so very interesting.
It’s a beautiful old Landrover for sure, and I know you will make it even better. I’m really interested in how you are going to do the internal build and make it winterproof, and warm and comfortable enough to cope with winter in Norway! I was driving an old canvas top Landrover similar to this in Andalsnes in the winter of 1990 with the marines and we had to lag the roof with blankets and a roll of felt to keep any warmth in at all 🤣
Haha yeah I definitely have a job to do to cope with the winters!😂
Sweeeeet Kasper! Really nice to see how much You enjoy in your new car. Waiting to see the upcoming mods. :)
Thanks Dario!🙏
You made the right choice. That '81 is just a beautiful piece of machinery.
Beautiful, but also cool even fully stock. And a fresh breath of air in the Norwegian car scene with mostly new EV´s
love the start of the video man, SOUNDS like and old tank comming in. maybe i should get myself and old 40series cruiser to
Haha thanks buddy 😮💨👍 so nice having a little petrol engine again after 5 years in the diesel whip! I don’t fancy the fuel price though 💸
A wonderful motor vehicle, what an adventure this is going to be 😊
🙏
Sad to see the disco go, but really looking forward to this new build. And I guess when out in the middle of nowhere simple is better should repairs be necessary. This said I like how you’ve mixed new tech, the lights with the old LR.
Thanks man! Yeah it’s a bit of a pitty to let if go after almost five years. But it’s really good to have an actual change of pace both for my mind but also the sake of the creative process building and traveling with something new. Also way more playroom with what I can legally modify on a 42 year old car vs a 9 year old EU6 spec unit full of safety regulations and restrictions
Nice photography 😊
Thanks 🙏
I can't wait to see what you will be doing with your new ride! I have to say your Discovery 4 is already one of the best looking ones I've seen!
Like you said, simplicity in many situations is better. Which is why I chose the LR3 over the LR4!
Cheers! Yeah sad to leave it once I finally felt the disco was “finished”. But I do enjoy the process of building just as much as the travel part. So was about time after almost five years with the disco 🤝
Another great video ❤The gearbox and transfer case have a different oil to the diffs by the way.
Thanks man 🫶
I LIKE THE NEW LIGHTING, AND WHATA DIFFERECE AT EVENING, WOW!! GLAD YOU HAVE THE DISCOVERY SET FOR SALE, AND THEN YOU CAN MOVE ON. I WISH MY TRUCK WAS OLDER LIKE I HAD MANY YEARS AGO, BUT HAVING MY 1931 FORD KOOP ISNT SUCH A BAD TRADEOFF. I PREFER THE 1967-1972 CHEVY LONGBEDS. ENJOY AUTUMN, GREAT PHOTOGRAPHY AND EDITING AS ALWAYS. BE BLESSED.👍👍🙏
Cheers man! Plenty of aux lighting coming as well, but some decent normal headlights was much needed for normal use.
Really stoked to move on and hit the road again soon, although a bit slower and louder than before 😂
Really enjoyed this video Kasper 💪🏻
Cheers man!
Kjekk følelse å kjenne bilen innvendig og utvendig, og å ha følelsen av at du kan fikse hva som helst som skulle dukke opp.
Kjenner den forrige godt, men mindre greier på
denne 👍😎
Nice bro, good luck with selling him !
Cheers👍
heyy i think i have one suggestion, do get a rubber grippy layer for the gas and break pedels because sometimes it might slip and stuff.
other than that all the best!
Thought of buing it, but I don’t find the any grippy either wet or dry actually hah 😅 The gas has rubber on it though
@@kasperhoglund alrightyy cool! if it works for u then thats all that matters :)
This type of light fittings is typical for UK ex MOD Land Rovers. Combined with the fact it is Petrol and LHD i'm almost certain it was an Ex Rhine vehicle AKA a car stationed in Germany. I've seen these multiple times at our shop and worked on them. The Dutch ex Army LRs are very different and all Diesel powered. 2.25 petrol is the best engine and will run forever.
Have a look at an electronic ignition,not a cheap conversion set since the original distributers suck. Have a look at 123 Ignition Systems. We fitted them at my work numerous times and their fantastic with great support. No cheap made crap. Best money spend.
Have fun with the 109"
Cheers! Might have gotten some wrong info from previous owners. It did at least come from NL to Norway back in 2014. And served in the Balkan war for NATO.
Also been trough some rounds of part swaps. The engine in this is a 2.25 from a Norwegian ex mill that served here. And has sadly a crack in the block due to getting stored over a cold winter with bad coolant a few years back.
First plan was to swap it for something.. but I’m really starting to like it (if I don’t mind the fuel bill!)
So current thought is to keep this running for a while, and look for a similar replacement. And spend some money on ignition on that 👍
There is a fair chance it did came from The Netherlands since a lot of these ex UK demobbed Land Rovers ended up here. Being LHD was a big part in that. I've seen it myself because i'm Dutch and working on LRs here for over 20 years. The fuel consumption is horrible,yeah. Almost as bad as the 3.5 V8 Stage One 109. Overhere people put 200 and some 300 TDIs in them. Thing it to keep the weight of your build as low as possible since that is what causing the biggest problems.
That said,a good 2.25 petrol that it properly serviced and tuned runs like clock work. These engines are pretty much bulletproof,unlike the Diesel 2.25. That's horrible.😅
If you keep this engine,go for a 123 ignition. It's a Dutch company specialised in this.
color is amazing
Cheers! Going for an actual LR paint code for the actual respray some time later on. But this will do for the winter!🙏
BTW "Sealed for life" is a Manufacturer misnomer.
The transmission with its original fluid will outlast the warranty period without service, and therefore does not have a scheduled service interval as per manufacturer.
Frankly, its a load of BS and results in the early death of a lot of transmissions.
ZF, the manufacturer of the transmission in the Disco 4, have their own recommended service schedule of 80,000km
Hi Kasper, I ve seen Your LR4 on sale mont or maybe over a mont becouse I was looking for some to buy for my self( I decided to buy Discovery 2 TD5 it is compromise betwen price and modern daily car, I hope it was good choice 🙂) and a week ago I saw "new" owner driving it arround my village (it is defenitly eyes catching car, possitiv 🙂and the point is now, I don t know why but I saw Your video on YT. Hope You will be satisfy with "new OLD" Defender
Stay tuned! ✌✌
waiting for the new build😀👍
🙏😄
morning Kasper , I will miss your Discovery 4 here in Cape Town 😢
It will be missed!
Looks good
Cheers!🙏
I'm not sure if i could have made the same choice and have given up the comfort, but it sure as hell is brave! I pray for your back with that seas on the long run tho xD
Must be said that i absolutely love the colour, hope it servers you well friend!
I have a young back, and an active life 😂🤝 I think we’ll fit each other good for the next adventure
@@kasperhoglund safe travels brother
super cool man get it!
cheers!
Others already mentioned it, costs and simplicity…
The lightbulb is the perfect example…
Any car made in the last twenty years made it more and more impossible to do anything yourself, on purpose.
The Industrie wants to make money with selling the car AND the upkeep…
What one gives up, in exchange is a little comfort and maybe speed and THAT is a price I’m willing to pay.
Besides…
Here in Germany 🇩🇪 I had the good fortune to buy a 110 HT model that was already registered as a camper, wich keeps costs DOWN…
I could load up to ONE TON into the vehicle AND/OR could pull 3,5 Tons…
Cranking the windows myself and not goin 180 km/h on the Autobahn, was/is a good trade 😂
After driving a Defender with a top speed og 95 due to a bad turbo actuator from Norway to Croatia last winter.. I realized I’m perfectly fine taking it slow 😂👍
A different way of traveling, but like you said.. the simplicity makes it so much worth it for what I do!
@@kasperhoglund
Agree…
So you can solely focus on what you want to do and at the same time keep costs DOWN.
I would call that a WIN-WIN Situation sir …
Greetings from Germany… if you ever pass through … give me a call ☎️
Very nice, out of interest what engine is it you have in the new truck?
2.25 four banger petrol 🚜
This is gonna be very nice build. :D Just a question, you do need headlights washer if you have led lights?
Afaik in europe, as long as the LED bulbs fullfill a certain requirement regarding light diffusion, spread and brightness, they aren‘t required to have an active washer.
My Mazda 6s LED/Xenon adaptive Headlights don‘t feature a washer unit either, MY2017.
If they have a specific E mark they (should) be ok. But can sometimes meet the wrong guy at the two year inspection.
With xenon bulbs for example it’s mandatory to have washers and leveling rods.
@@kasperhoglund Ok, thanks. I tought it is loger EU period for the old timer cars.
@@mtb24only we have it in norway if its over 50 I think 👍
The old engine sounds lovely man!! I have a few questions about it :)
How is it to have a gas tank, quite litterly in the interior. Are you scared of spilling?
What do you think of the performance? Like do you find it to be miserably slow or do you not mind it?
You replaced the headlight for visibility, but I wonder how much the tire on the hood impedes visibility.
And lastly somthing i like to speak about :) How's the suspension?
Cheers!
The two gas tanks are under the car. But you access them through a metal panel under the seat. Same as you can in all defenders to access the top of the gear box ect.
The tanks has rubber seals and is as tight as any other tank. If you spill, it would run out under the car. Not inside it👍
It’s slow, and weak. But not terrible. Just makes you more cautious about weight and changes the driving style a lot. Doesn’t hold up well up hill in high speed mountain inclines.
The tire only blocks the top part of the right hand corner of the hood. Kinda similar to how your nose is always in your field of view, but you never think about it 🤝
Suspension is old and simple. Stock leaf springs and shocks now. When this fails I’ll get parabolic leafs. Lighter and works a bit differently. And will get old man emu shocks around the rig when those fail.
My friend had a 1979 defender
Just been watching your video, looking forward to seeing you kit it out on the in side. The out side is looking 100% better then it did 😎 I have one question what make & where did you get your head lights.
Thanks Brian.
Cheers! Ended up buying from a eBay seller called Original Cafe Racer Co. because I found only too modern looking ones with halos and led Lenses inside the headlight. And wanted something simple looking.
They have a kit for defenders/series on their page and it’s about 109£
@@kasperhoglund thanks I found them on eBay. Before I get them would you show the light beam pattern on the road. You maybe thinking why am I asking. Well I got some lights on eBay and it seems to the lights are wired up incorrectly, when the lights are on dip, the light beam is too far away. When on main beam it illuminates the very front of the road.
Thanks Brian. I must say I did really like the old LR4.
@@brianmaude656 just the obvious first.. is the headlight adjusted correctly? Or upside down?😅 send me a mesage on Instagram and I’ll send a picture with pattern. @kasper.hoglund
I've just discovered you and very sad to hear the D4 is going as an inspired D3 owner. Are you concerned about the comfort compared to the newer vehicle on long journeys?
Im following Journey with landrover series three all best man from Kenya
Thanks 🤝
New paint job to match the disco4?
Haven’t landed on a color for the next round. But definitely want a color instead of grey or black 🤝 a nice breath of color in the Norwegian car scene where everyone has a black/silver/white car
wow very nice content friend
Thank you 🫶
The transmission in the Discovery can be serviced and oil changed......
Yeah👍 that’s why I used air cotes for “sealed for life” and said “not really meant to be serviced”.
It’s perfectly doable to both flush and drop the bottom pan (if you cut the filter in two with a saw when removing to avoid dropping down to much parts). And install the upgrade version.
More of a side note to show the difference from cars that got built with service and a long life in focus
Are you ever worried about (knock on wood) the safety of the older vehicles? I love classic land rovers too but it always concerns me when it comes to vehicle safety.
I have a 1970 series 2a and I know that if I get in an accident I’m pretty screwed but I’ve just kind of accepted that, I do plan to do some safety upgrades in the next year a internal roll cage because I plan to take it rock crawling and rolling is a possibility, rock sliders to protect the sills but they will also help a lot in a side impact and three point seat belts and seats with headrest which overall should make it a fairly safe car
I have thought about a half cage. But to be honest I can't really get too worried. Im going to run studded tires with this one, that's for sure. But it is not a place you'd want to be in a head on collision. So I'd take it slow, and avoid unnecessary long drives at night
I want to ask a question, why did you choose this old model? In between 2000 to 2009 would be good model for the adventures you do.
2700€ and hell of a cool car in decent shape. A beat up and rusty defender here costs 4 times as much
@@kasperhoglund would love to see how you will bring her to life and make it a reliable adventure partner, i am also not found of newer models of Jeeps and adventure cars so i like in between like 2000 to 2010 models which can be little classy and reliable at the same time.
P0089? Any recommendations what YOU attacked first? 😂 🤦🏻♂️
Just got my 2016 to 201KM. Hard to maintain even harder to let go ❤️
Fuel related, but I haven’t had it. Only fuel issue I’ve had has been a cheap aftermarket diesel filter.
The list says fuel pump and so on, but not sure on that 👍
Wait … the gas tanks under the drivers seat?
Actually one under each seat and a manual flip valve to choose what tank to run. It’s a ex military vehicle, so it’s a bit different than the civilian model.
Can fill the tank whilst driving from a Jerry can, and one tank can get punctured while still running the other one.
Unnecessary for my use, but that’s at least the reason 😅
så snyggt filmat och vilken blick du har för detaljer
Takk🤝🤝
What song is that at 5:30?
If only I was a poet - Steffan Carlén 👍
Hei, så deg kjøre forbi Tranby en stund tilbake :) Vinka til deg men tror ikke du la merke til det :)
Pleier å få det med meg, men mulig jeg var opptatt med ratting og giring 😂🤝
Too wide tire on the hood. Wider than which are under.
It’s exactly the same size mate. It’s from the other set of rims for it 👍
i'm surprised ... these old models look like tin cans compared to the discovery ... you're not driving to mongolia to need basic parts ...
Where it all began for Land Rover 🤝
Look at the old defenders, they are the successors
Color choice is terrible , great car choice
Each to their own 🤝
I love it!
You mad man! I used to drive Series Land Rovers, whilst they look great (apart form the terrible colour you have painted it, there are so many nice Land Rover colours what were you thinking?) they are terribly uncomfortable to drive, un-economical, not as good off road as the LR4, and if you hit any object above 40mph that is solid its instant death!
Each to their own I guess
Gleder meg til fortsettelsen!
Bare discoen får ny eier så blir det fortgang på det bygget her!
