tears of joy when it comes out ,, an absolute triumph for what British Engineering used to be able to produce until accountants got in and destroyed that inventive nature , Land Rover led the way in off road vehicles ,, hats of to the forefathers :-)
I think you mean Jeep leads the way but yeah I hear you about what happens when yuppies get involved. That thing should have lockers in it and it'd be so much better.
Eric Johnson I bow sir to your superior knowledge " Jeep 1st " :-) , but you just simply look at what " engineers " could produce / invent , when allowed to flourish , rather than constraints being put on them by finance , though to be fair , everything in life generally comes at a price ,so a balance has to be drawn , as you cant simply fund something for ever :-)
David Craig it wasn't so much of a time when engineers could "flourish" as such but make do with available resources that were around at short notice around the time of ww2, but hats of to them for what they created!
Marcus BarlowI do agree to a point Marcus , you can always only work with whats available to you , but far to much nowadays is controlled by finance , manufacturers along with accountants will say produce something for a certain amount , but inventors / Engineers tend to just keep working at ` their dream ` until it works or sadly is binned , and even more sad , there tends to be more progress made during times of strife / war than during peacetime :-(
Very impressive, wouldn't want to be the 1 to have to clean it though, a few weeks back i got myself in a tricky situation, drove into a large body of water, gentle descent to about 2 ft deep, then a 1.5 foot shelf, water lapping over top of bonnet (water at this point was 3.5 foot high), the front wheels just dropped, after about 5-10 mins finally got it out, difflocked and reverse, Def's are an excellent vehicles, well built, true offroader.
lukethekanefan It would have helped if a fellow Land Rover owner offered to pull him out with a winch or snatch strap. After all, every Land Rover owner should look out for each other.
Wow! I hate mud but that was awesome, you won't find me near anything like that. What a cleanup job that was, I am sure. Change the oil in the diffs at the minimum and prolly the transmission, transfer case and possibly the motor too!
Sean Morales Ummm alright then... not sure where that came from or why you needed to use caps lock, but I don't feel like I need to listen to you after seeing that your a minecraft nerd anyways so have a good one ya fuckin goof.
You're correct. Especially for any length of time, it'll seep in anyway. Having good quality seals is a must, but even then it'll come in. Vehicles are not designed for water. I work at a place that deals with amphibious vehicles. The mechanic that works with them, is constantly rebuilding the diffs that are immersed. The bearings just get slaughtered from water. The diff housings have accommodation for 2 seals, and he's reversed them, still water. Water is bad.
Oh and for those who don't think you might need to change out the oils I can tell you that when the hot transmission or differential hits the cool water the water will get pulled in right past the seals, I have seen it. I am open to correction on this but I believe it to be true.
Axle breathers are there to prevent this. Routed properly they'll be above the waterline and will allow the expansion/contraction of air rather than pulling water through the seals.
Im having difficulty working out why you would want to change your transmision oil after doing this? Both boxes and axels are sealed other than breather pipes so unless the breather pipes are removed the only thing thats going to be in there is the oil you turned up with. Then you assume that he will illegaly drive home with filthy windows, lights etc which is just wrong. On what are you basing this statment?
I am afraid it just winds me up to see a machine being abused like that. Bet he didn't change his transmission oils before he drove home wouldn't be surprised if his brakes and glass were cleaned. Yes the Defender did well to get out. Thing is , it's his and he can do what he likes with it.
It's not a Defender. Reg Date 1986.... Defender relates basically to the new models with the Tdi engines, introduced for the 1990 Model year, in late 1989, for G registrations in the UK. Also, why would anyone opt to sit in that slurry for so long, as it seeps into the axles and transmission cases (yes, I know it has extended breathers as standard) As the hot items are immersed in cold water, they suck in the water.....
Stock defenders have the worst wading depth out of the entire range. A lot less than 500mm. This is because of the axles not having extended breathers. Assuming by the snorkel on this one, he will have breathers on axles, timing etc
John Smith Care to elaborate? Edit: I haven't worded it very well. I'm trying to say that the Defenders stock wading depth of 500mm is a lot less than the others.

amen to that!
Next it will be on eBay listed as "One careful lady owner only used it to go to church on Sundays."
Lol! Possibly with a savage title
😃😃 true 💯
Was starting to ingest a little water... White smoke starting to come out at the end. Awesome video though.
Charlie Burton maybe the muddy tires installed, it has the advantages of grip
This proves 1 thing about land rovers they all ways get there eventually. Good job
This is *REASON* why i love land rover products
Take a bow driver, absolutely incredible....I love those old Defenders.
Amazing ... impressive, that is why I can't get rid of that mighty truck all my life through.
Thanks for sharing.

i love my Land Rover 90!!!
Absolutely awesome ... a great lesson in perseverance !
Props to the driver. I'm a Jeep Wrangler fan myself but I would love to see a stock one do this. Snorkel allowed.
if you try hard enough a landrover can do anything
Preach!
lukethekanefan
It would have helped if a fellow Land Rover owner offered to pull him out with a winch or snatch strap. After all, every Land Rover owner should look out for each other.
It depends on its tire thread
the defenders are amazing
SKYKA 666 u are correct
Well I have to say I really did think that was a tow out job! Well done both driver and Landie!!
It was the cooling fan of the engine that acted like a propeller!
That's why I love these cars!
Wow! I hate mud but that was awesome, you won't find me near anything like that. What a cleanup job that was, I am sure. Change the oil in the diffs at the minimum and prolly the transmission, transfer case and possibly the motor too!
I was actually clapping when he pulled out of there haha, props bud!
HAHAHHAHAH FUCK YOU!
Sean Morales Ummm alright then... not sure where that came from or why you needed to use caps lock, but I don't feel like I need to listen to you after seeing that your a minecraft nerd anyways so have a good one ya fuckin goof.
Very nice job by the driver!
Absolutely legend mate, well done! Always best to try and get yourself out if you can and that was determination and a half!!
Bet the new defender would just sink and fail miserably
That was great! Love the wet pants and mud pouring out at the end.
Skinny tires helped alot but what a effort
It has; it's n it'll always be, I love defender
haha great stuff nice to see someone not jumping for the tow rope when they get stuck :) nice one mate love it
Mama didn't raise no quitter!
You're correct.

Water is bad.
woww!!! grrttt engine power..
loved the grrmm grmm sound of it!!
That is incredible!
Well done I didnot think that was possible
i work on landrovers in oz and now have a new found respect for defenders
thats why we own Land rovers not auto box junk
So it's pretty safe to say that this England's version of a day playing around in the mud hole, right? Unless this is taking place somewhere else.
Incrivel!! Possas... Tou sem palavras. Puramnt incrivel. Bom trblho! 👍 E bom carro. Mas d certeza o motor ficou com alguns danos.
Thats a good car!
matthew leroy thank u
Try that in a Cayenne.
It'll probably just stay there forever

Jose, I would argue that's what they are made for.
god those diesels sound great!
No way could he have done that without the 4 Spot lights on the roof!
very well done and are they stock tyres aswell if so even better
gotta get me another Defender
would be rude not too.
This stubborn driver, and his stubborn Land Rover could go to Mars and back!
that was so well done
Gotta Love Landys :)
Axle breathers are there to prevent this. Routed properly they'll be above the waterline and will allow the expansion/contraction of air rather than pulling water through the seals.
llantas stock y como los grandes, quisiera ver a un X5 haciendo esto haha Grande Land Rover!
Gotta luv the landy!
well done lads!!
Where is this - and would you take a Disco 4 there?

Hi, where is this please? Is it Tong?
Nice!
How's that for guts and determination! Well done!
What a beast man...
Or a patrol, or a landcruiser.
Defenders aren't popular in Australia for a reason.
That reason is "allowable oil weep". We call them leaks over here.
get some 35 inch tyres on it mate your diffs were catching on the mud but hay well done
Well, it certainly is good tenacity being exercised right through to the end, as it certainly pays toendure.
That's how they got their rep!
landrover heaven !
nice dude!!!
i want a land rover now ,,,,
Now I want to see a foxhound and jltv on the same course ;)
nice 1 !!
When he opened the door, all the mud must've flowed into the cabin.
The Paradise City!
Lucky Men!
@rockhaloschool my guess would be Insa Turbo's.. no stock tyres :p
wow!!!!
Well thats new, I didnt know Land Rover also made shiny boats and all!
Yes!... 4x4xfar! 👍
Yes, yes it is!
I am afraid it just winds me up to see a machine being abused like that. Bet he didn't change his transmission oils before he drove home wouldn't be surprised if his brakes and glass were cleaned. Yes the Defender did well to get out. Thing is , it's his and he can do what he likes with it.
I'll buy one.
Never give up!!!!
BigBendBroncos we never lose hope
Go on 😁
welldone...
Peanuts 2105 this place is in Cheshire an I take my discovery 3 there so it ain't to bad just be careful.
Wait, is this just a bunch of people driving around in the mud?
What a beast
Quava especially it’s 2018 Land Rover
That is breather or no breather, extending the breathers does help but it is no guarantee.
Vidio yang bagus
Fuck*** unbelievable 😅👌👏🏾🏌🏼♂️
is land rover defender stronger than land cruiser by toyota?
C reg 300 ?
Yes actually.
Heaps fun! But I live in Australia, and it's not demonized.
I wouldn't like to do that to mine too much work sorting it out after!
😀😀😀😀😀

You don't need adverts to sell a Landy, just link them this video
Yep, it's a Landy!
What was it I read somewhere about a Landie having only a 500 mm wading depth????????
u prob was reading about a range rover
but that is the truth
Stock defenders have the worst wading depth out of the entire range. A lot less than 500mm. This is because of the axles not having extended breathers. Assuming by the snorkel on this one, he will have breathers on axles, timing etc
L4RRY
Do you know anything at all about Land Rovers?
John Smith Care to elaborate? Edit: I haven't worded it very well. I'm trying to say that the Defenders stock wading depth of 500mm is a lot less than the others.
It's not stuck if it's moving :)
CRAZIEST GUY I HAVE EVER SEEN...HAHA
@douglasr3684 Dont know about that mate, but it certainly gets the Job done :) LR the best 4x4xfar though!
Mouldsworth Quarry, Stable Lane,Mouldsworth, Cheshire Post code CH3 8AN.
I’ll guarantee you won’t be doing that with the new defender , bits if plastic would be flying off everywhere 😁
The car will go anywhere - if it has the tyres
John Osborne except stock tires
jeep YJ :)
We all knew he would get out and not give up
This is a bloody submarine haha lol
