I've always wondered why my Series 3 oil was so black. Now that I am thinking about it terms of soot, it makes much more sense. I would love to see a video about carburetor tuning in the future. Thanks again for informative video.
hello geoff, thx for sharing. i came a little bit late on this video. yt has its own ways to pop up the videos. i do have some comments i do hope will help a little bit and hope you wont take it wrong oil change - make shure to take the car for good drive before changing the oil, so its pretty hot. - flush it out immediately after the drive. - let the oil drip out. best overnight so you are shure its completely gone - when you are removing the old o-ring clean the rin carefully. brakecleaner spray is excellent for the job. - before installing the o-ring coat it with oil. i actualy coat it with grease so its more flexible and will stick in the rin. - after refilling the oil disconnect the coil and start the engine until the pressure warning light goes out. - then let the car run for a minute. - then wait about 5min so all of the engine will be in the sump - then check the oil level teflon tape primary teflon tape is not for sealing, its for protecting the threats. it will also do some kind of sealing but never replace a copper washer. i use 4 to 5 layer and really stetch it, otherwise it will get loose. most of all take your time doing the oilchange. its more relaxing and doble checking your work comes naturally. and its fun
Geoff, thank you for the tip of the teflon tape ! It works ! I own a 1967 series 2A, I changed all the fluids last month using taflon tape on all screws, no leaks at all ! I’ll still look at your recomandations ! Thanks Mate ! Jean-Marc
Hi Jean. No worries, glad to help and that is great news about your 2A. I hope there are still a couple of dips and leaks as we don't won't it going rusty :). Cheers Geoff
I should have rewatched this one Geoff, my Landy has just peed fresh oil out of the bottom of the canister, nipped back in the house watched your video now all good, I need to nip in to town tomorrow and pick up some more oil. (Well I promised the kids a ice cream)
Geoff I love your videos as an obsessed Land Rover owner (06 Range Rover & 88 Perentie). With all these new Perentie owners out there we’d love to see you do a service on the Perentie or anything else Perentie!! Love your Work!!
Hi Sam. Thank you for your kind words. that sounds like a good healthy fleet you have there. That is a very go idea and I will be sure to aim to do so in the coming months. Kind regards Geoff
Geoff as usual a very informative video a minor detail when installing the sump plug if you have to reuse the copper washer you should anneal it to soften it so it moulds to the surface you are mating it too. The use of thread tape is ok if you ensure the tape is not protruding past the plug as it can come free and get stuck in the pickup strainer for the oil pump. Over a long period of succsessive oil changes the excess tape could cause a restriction in the the oil pickup and as such reduce the oil flow in the engine.
Hi JBMOZ. Thank you very much from Damon and myself. Thank you for your support and great to hear that you are enjoying the content. Plenty of awesome adventures to come. Cheers Geoff
Nice one, Geoff. I’d be keen to see a video on doing a front to back 90wt service: diffs, steering box, swivels, gearbox and xfer case. I also just got a Roamerdrive and would like to see how that figures into regular servicing. Thanks!
Great many thanks for another superb video!!😀😀👍👍👍 Please record and publish more videos concerning service of a series Land Rover. I know this is video is referred to as "episode one", and therefore there is more upcoming videos on the subject, but I just want to encourage you in a positive way, since I'm a big fan of videos on TH-cam showing different types of vehicle service, and especially when it comes to old series Land Rovers. Regardless wether it's about engine, drivetrain, electrical, bodywork, suspension, chassis, extra equipment etc.😀😀
Hi Thomas. Thank you for your constructive feedback, we welcome this here openly and thank you for taking the time to voice you opinion. Cheers for your words of encouragement, we will be aiming to run this as a series of videos, and a series which we are putting over to the audience to address any questions on the matter which they may have. Best of luck with your adventures. Cheers Geoff
@@craigblack85 We can certainly do that, we have an episode of the Golden Quest which is currently being edited as we speak. Many thanks, Craig, best of luck with your adventures
As far as flushing the engine; the cheapest and most effective thing to do is to add around a liter of ATF to engine oil then take for a short steady drive, then drain and refill. I like your videos though, nice work!
@@JBMOZ Correct yeah. And because it has a very high detergent content, its one of those old trick of the trade things using it as an engine flushing agent. It also has many other uses such as fuel filter changes on a diesel (older type diesels at least). I have a 300Tdi and if you fill the fuel filter with ATF when changing it cleans out your injection pump and injectors etc
Hi Jeff I found this video very helpful. I have a series3 with a 2.25 petrol engine. It was a military vehicle with a 24v ignition system. I have converted it to 12v. Is there supposed to be a ballast resistor on the coil or is the coil internal resisted. I have to much voltage going to the coil and the points.
Hi Tim, There’s essentially 2 types of coils you can purchase one that needs a ballast resister or one that has inter-grated internally. Out of the coil you should be getting around 6-9volts if yours is the full ~14.2volts whilst engine is running you have 2 options. Keep your existing coil and ad an external ballast resister or purchase a new coil ensuring it’s a ballast coil they usually have an ‘R’ on the end of the part number Cheers Damon

hello geoff, thx for sharing. i came a little bit late on this video. yt has its own ways to pop up the videos.
i do have some comments i do hope will help a little bit and hope you wont take it wrong
oil change
- make shure to take the car for good drive before changing the oil, so its pretty hot.
- flush it out immediately after the drive.
- let the oil drip out. best overnight so you are shure its completely gone
- when you are removing the old o-ring clean the rin carefully. brakecleaner spray is excellent for the job.
- before installing the o-ring coat it with oil. i actualy coat it with grease so its more flexible and will stick in the rin.
- after refilling the oil disconnect the coil and start the engine until the pressure warning light goes out.
- then let the car run for a minute.
- then wait about 5min so all of the engine will be in the sump
- then check the oil level
teflon tape
primary teflon tape is not for sealing, its for protecting the threats. it will also do some kind of sealing but never replace a copper washer. i use 4 to 5 layer and really stetch it, otherwise it will get loose.
most of all
take your time doing the oilchange. its more relaxing and doble checking your work comes naturally.
and its fun

Superb simple breakdown. Thanks for sharing
Hi Tony. I hope you found it of use. Cheers Geoff
Nice work Geoff, thank you; great info!
No Worries. Adrain I hope this helps with your fleet. Regards Geoff
when you said about learning from your mistakes i have a saying that says mistakes are stepping stones to success
Hi Jonpbyl. That is a great saying, if your don't mind I might borrow that? Cheers Geoff
@@seriouslyseriesaustralia yes mate that is perfectly fine

Great tips there Gippy. Thanks for sharing that, I will be sure to give that a go. Many thanks, Geoff
Very helpful. Thanks. Just signed up on your patreon. Pls keep these service videos coming!

Hi Jason. We can differently look at covering those issues over the following episodes. Cheers Geoff

Good one Geoff,
Many thanks, Adam.
Excellent video, thanks. I know you are "seriously series" but any chance of another perentie video?
Hi Craig. We can differently do one for you. What would you like to see or know about the Perentie?
HI Craig. Sorry about that, we can differently do a video on the Perentie for you. Regards Geoff
@@seriouslyseriesaustralia just a day trip video/ 4wdriving WA style. Most other perentie videos are east coast , in the mud. Cheers

Messy, but l always soak / fill an oil filter with engine oil ..... better at start up after oil change.
Hi Geoff, what’s the pump you use on the 20ltr oil drum?
Nothing flash, just a standard 20ltr pump I go from an automotive store. Cheers Geoff
how to check the oil level in the gear box and transfer box ?
Coming up in Episode 2, a bit of a cliffhanger. Regards Geoff
