You are such a good teacher and I really enjoy your descriptive vlog and a great engineer too. I am with you every turn of the nut remembering my days on the tools. Thank you so much - keep them coming.
Greetings from Colorado. My 73 Series III 88 got the bad death weave, but your video inspired me to the chllenge. Fascinating to watch. You're a heck of a mechanic and artist.
This Land Rover interests me even though i'm a Mini guy. I've wanted to do a series 1 resto for ages but the MIni comes first. I know where there is a early series 1 just sat in some ones front garden. I asked if he wanted to sell but the old guy whats to restore it but we all know that will never happen, we all dream don't we lol. I just hope his Mrs wants rid after he leaves us!
Great explanation and thank you for the clarity. My series 2 failed its MOT on the railko bush so it’s a job now to be done. Nice work indeed and all the best!
Great video. Delighted to see you working on land rovers. My first car was a 200tdi defender 90 pickup. Still have it. It’s sitting in the shed now in a sorry state but hoping to bring it back to life in the autumn. I think the only thing that doesn’t need work is the engine but everything around that will need a lot of work. Thanks again Paul.
Initially wasn't sure if I'd want to watch this but i started laughing at your jokes and then realised i have that very same tool box!!! Had to carry on after that 😄 I thought i was watching your channel for the minis but i reckon now it's as much about the way you go about the work 👏
Toby it people like your self that encourage me to get down to the workshop and make content. you honesty and positivity is awesome thanks for watching and thanks for the suport
I am glad the weather looked kind an warm for you. There is nothing worse than being under your car, in a field in the snow or rain. I have done it and I wouldnt wish it on anyone, even Mike Brewer. Another great and fun video. Thanks as usual.
Nice one Paul swivel hubs not for the faint hearted we used to make box spanner’s from pieces of tube a little smaller than the nut or bolt heat the end then forge it over the nut/bolt instant box spanner a bit Heath Robinson but it usually worked ,parts supply still seems up in the air suppliers don’t keep stock like they use to because it dead stock on the shelf and expensive,you need one of those portable garages from MM to keep that Irish wet off you (the wet helps make that lovely butter 🐄 ) stay safe and dry top lad 👍👨🏻🏭🇬🇧
Paul I am going to steel that. Its right up my street and the perfect way to get a tool to do the job awesome. We have a nice pop up that we can use if we get caught but at the moment we are blessed with some nice weather
you are spot on. Believe it or not that is why I love them. The similarities are amazing and the concept of there design is the same. Simple, Reliable and Easy to maintain 👍👍👍plus the character of a 70's Land Rover is unmistakable
great video mate,i hope my bloody radiator doesnt take that long to arrive..made me smile when you mension the cav diesel pump,,my brother was a boss at cav's until he retired,cav became lucas then in time became delphi...
I honestly love the CAV pump. Charles Anthony was a hero of mine growing up. I loved his simple approach to complex problems. one of the true pioneers of K.I.S.S :)
Top notch as per usual lads. Can't wait to see Andy Mc Landy on the road and blending into the rest of the garage family proving to be a riliable work horse. Waiting for parts is all ways a pain and brexit/customs certainly doesn't help. Role on the next video 👍
Another great example of history in the breaking! I was about to serve my time (not in prison) when this hit the road and it will probably out last me. The good news is there are still plenty of spares available and generally at affordable prices. There is also massive technical information to be had and it is important to utilize this. Many problems arose from people not knowing the nuances and particularly from over tightening. You often need to determine a rolling torque. I have to say I suggested painting it fire red and calling it red rover but no one was biting. It compliments the mini videos, so best wishes and I hope it doesn’t rain. Thoroughly enjoyable as usual.
Thanks Thomas and finally geting a chance to put that tool box to good use. as you say these are beautifully simple but that simpleness is not to be mistaken for poor engineering. Yes thankfully parts are as available for these and the humble mini
When I was young I wanted to work as a profesional traveller. And this car was first thing to need for the dream. 😀 I wasn’t succesful and I am engineer in Porsche development 😀
The rub marks on your shaft is caused by the slop in the swivel housing and its rubbing on the inside of the stub axle/spindle. I have the same issue with the swivel hub moving so much that it started to bind the half shaft against the stub axle/spindle and it heated up so much that it welded it to the inside of the stub axle/spindle and broke off. I still haven't figured out the reason for this movement since the alignment of the swivel housing relative to the axle shaft is fixed...not adjustable. The shims in the top swivel housing pin only set the amount of force required to move the swivel housing from right to left. Great video and was great for me to see another series III swivel housing video to help me continue my effort to understand why my swivel housing is not aligned properly with the half shaft coming out after being bolted in and seated in the lower swivel bearing.
Thanks Patrick, you are dead right there full of character, have bags of charm and for a mechanically minded individual there a joy to drive as well. You are quite right an often underestimated machine with a winch and some know how there is pretty much nowhere one of these old girls can go
Most defiantly currently trying to decide on which plate, leaning twords a red plate on the back and silver and black on the front for that 70's Irish look
Love this, real time skill and knowledge. Let's see a series rebuild with the same format. Thank you

Aww thanks Rich, glad you where inspired to take on the challenge. Glad you enjoy the videos 👍

How lovely would it be to be able to retrieve it and make a restart on restoring it 👍👍
@@HREIRL I would love to. Need to revisit and see whats happening, ask again lol
Is it original Irish?

Hi Andrew thats very cool i love 90 Trucks there very awesome and look very unique :)
It's good to see someone working on a car outside using basic tools. I doubt you will be able to do that with a current Defender.
No I'm afraid things are not built with mantiance in him any more Graham but yes I love working on old iron in my cack yard :)

We where blessed with great weather. Yes working on cars in poor weather is a sole destroying job at times

Beautiful Series! So much knowledge talking, cool stuff
Thanks man, I have a lot to learn about these land Rovers but that’s what it’s all about 👍
Another enjoyable video, not much different to a mini except everything is ten times beefier, lol

wow thats really interesting Milan, thanks for sharing. development for Porsche must be very interesting ?
@@HREIRL sounds like. Right? But you know. After 13 years kN car development. It’s just a job. 🚗
Loving the videos,Thanks for Sharing 👍
Glad you like them!
Fantastic video!! Keep up the good work 💪
Thanks Darragh

Awesome video, love the landrover video. They are very enjoyable vehicles to own, great workhorse when needed also

@@HREIRL glad you started bigger cus it will need even bigger lol
*you're* ( you are ) ✌😉
@@VaderWhoop and you have a name like that???
@@paulrobinson3528 yes, whoop whoop ✌😊
You should get older style number plates for it
Most defiantly currently trying to decide on which plate, leaning twords a red plate on the back and silver and black on the front for that 70's Irish look
