I especially appreciate your attitude and humor when dealing with the inevitable glitches that come along. Can’t wait to see what projects you have next!
Welcome back, Carl. I'm looking forward to seeing the evolution on the farmhouse. You folks do amazing quality work! Also, I really miss my old ex-MoD Defender 90...
Good to see you back. Lots of folk with autoimmune diseases and difficulties have good improvements re less inflammation and ease of pain doing a no grain/ no dairy (i.e. paleo / keto eating regime). It has definitely helped me Carl this past 9 years. Wishing you well. x
Thanks for taking us with you, through thick and thin showing the ups and downs is honest and inspiring. I appreciate that it is a lot of extra effort to carry and use all the filming kit so extra thanks for making the effort for our benefit.
I'm humbled by hearing of your AS and now more impressed by watching your achievements. My own immune system problems seem trivial. Looking forward to your future videos - greetings from Scotland.
I have been told a Land Rover is a great vehicle for an alcoholic - you can drink to celebrate when it starts and you can drink to drown your sorrows when it does not start! But they are classic and iconic. Carl has done a excellent job on the mods!
I worked for a large Utility Company in the 80s & 90s ... our Land Rover problems were reduced after switching some of the fleet to 4x4 County Transits which had better payload and towing capacity, and didn't fail as often as the LRs ...
I love this channel so much. I like these vlog style videos a lot. You're life is vastly different from mine so it's like a window in to another life, it's great!
I have missed you and your projects. Welcome back. That was one hell of a trip. I admire your stamina and determination. Hope you are feeling well. Best wishes!
I find watching your work very relaxing & have watched them multiple times 😊. Can't wait for the next one. I'm off to bed now... got diy work in the garage again tomorrow. Goodnight 🥱💤
Good to see Carl back online. Due to a similar problem with using the clutch I converted my 127 to automatic using a four-speed box. It has an integral overdrive and retains the full functions of the transfer box. Never going back to manual!
Fix your trailer tilt latch, and then weld on a couple of tabs so that you can BOLT the trailer down when on long road trips where you won't need the tilt.
Welcome back, my friend. All those months I felt like I was missing something. I love carpentry and maintenance of old houses... Thank you for all the beautiful content... We are waiting for everything new and interesting Amal from UAE🇦🇪
I was gonna tease you about a multi-day 800 miles, but then saw the roads. More like a few of my motorcycle routes for vacation unless I "Need to get there ASAP" then 1200 miles in one 24 hour drive can happen. Or one year, 514 to Ma and Dad's, 589 to West Virginia, a few days camping in the boonies and riding there, 611 miles or so to my sisters place near Atlanta (via mostly state highways and some backroads, then, because I was sick and didn't want to infect Ma and Dad with it, a 823 mile run back home taking about 13 hours with gas stops.
Love your video. Tip from me: you are not supposed to lubricate the tow ball. It makes it harder for the trailer to grip the ball. Instead, polish it with some sand paper.
Yes you should with standard fittings , metal to metal dry has no damping effect it just creates excessive wear, don't confuse them with Alco/ caravan type that have built-in friction pads.
I have often seen comparisons of Toyota Land Cruisers compared to Land Rovers. I have a Lexus LX450 which is an 80 series Land Cruiser and it has over 500,000 miles on it. It has triple lock differentials and I honestly can say that it is built the way all vehicles should have been built. It has stood the test of time and it still holds its value. I have a third generation 4Runner 4x4 with over 300,000 miles and it is just like a new. I ran a compression check the other day and it has 185 PSI in each cylinder (3.4 liter 6 cylinder). Toyotas are tough!!!!!
So funny, i was thinking of commenting on “maybe you might think of swapping to a Land Cruiser (which I did three years ago and would never ever go back) but thought it might sound a little churlish😂😂😂 but honestly, you might think of swapping to a Land Cruiser x
I've watched your videos for some time and was always impressed at the scope, breadth and quality of your work: huge tasks accomplished at a very high standard with seemingly no compromise. Now I've learned that you've done all this with an autoimmune disease. You sir, have mettle.
Hi just wanted to say have missed your videos. Always interesting and educational. A little anecdote about the Land Rover Defender. A friend of mine his wife is from England her first car was a Land Rover Defender. And when the 70th Edition model arrived, she bought a new black one with a diesel engine. To experience his youth again. And she did.... As she said it was just like before, no soundproofing rattled. I went along a few times and my old tractor David Brown 990 Selectamatic I sat more comfortably in.🤭 Looking forward to your new videos. greetings from Sweden
Hudge respect for living with a autoimmune disease and being also able to build what you have build. I only can assume you have Ankylosing spondylitis. Hope you can manage it as long as possible!
A good video, as you have us accustomed Desired to see the progress in the restoration of that house and your good work with the carpentry. greetings from the mountains of Madrid, Spain
Carl I was thinking of you earlier this week, that I hadn't seen any of your videos in a while... I hated that this video was under such circumstances... Well hope all is well and you'll be getting back to the farmhouse soon... Take care my friend and God Bless...
Why don’t we have politicians like Carl? He figures out the problem, knows where to get the tools and parts, understands how to fit everything together properly, and look like he’s having fun doing it.
My Jag F-Pace blew up a few weeks ago with a "Reduced Power" message. Turbo bearing failed on a turbo that was replaced under warranty 10k miles ago.... Last time it happened, it cost $17k... Just the hassle of dealing with car breakdowns is stressful and a time sink, never mind the cost. Hope you are well, chronic illnesses suck, BTDT.
Buy a lexus....if you want to avoid problems. When the Japanese style their vehicles properly....their products will be unbeatable. Karl should buy an Ineos....so far these vehicles are shaping up to be very good indeed.....lets hope they establish a reputation for reliability.
Loved the video, I thought this was my old defender when I clicked on the thumbnail. I hope you have led bulbs in your headlights as you'll need to drill those rivets out of the guards to change the bulbs.
Have to admit I’m a bit sleepy still and I panicked when I saw you driving on the wrong side of the road! That woke me up enough to remember, oh yeah not America! Well done Carl! Keep up the safe driving! Also glad you’re back with the videos! 😳🫣🤔🙄🇺🇸
Quick question- I didn’t see the links listed for the products you used. Specifically I’m looking for the wire connectors you used with the heat shrink plastic. My puppy chewed through a vacuum cleaner wire yesterday and I saw that and thought that’s the perfect solution. Thanks.
very interesting I had a similar experience coming back from Manchester being at the side of the road for 3 hrs. The Land Rover was not heavily loaded and had only 30 000 on the clock virtually the same age as yours. Ashcroft Engineering has a lubricated replacement but mine was replaced by the main agent for £1260 !! For a little more money the Land Rover could have been a really good vehicle and I have had to replace fittings that rust and a poor front bumper that rusted badly. Still like driving it though. Happy motoring.....
Happy to see you're back in France. Like many others here I can't wait to see what projects you'll tackle this time. But a bit sad to hear you have some kind of auto-immune issue. Much can be done nowadays in terms of diet and alternative therapies; I hope and pray you're doing your best to prevent any further damage. Also, looking forward to wearing that eye-catching blue jacket I just ordered. Cheers!
just found your land rover page and it is great informative i understand you problem with the clutch as i suffer from a serious back problem and my legs are always week so i have to drive a auto but it is a freelander thats another problem LOL thanks for the video
Could you fabricate a new hold down on that black trailer nut? One that's wider and wraps around the sides of the tab sticking out of the front to the trailer bed? Or add some side walls to the tongue that keeps the bed tab centered on the tongue.
You buy a machine of any type ( car, truck, suv, heavy equipment, lawn mower, etc.) make or model, you best have a good tool box, repair ability, knowledge or money!!!
Two things about Land Rovers. 1) They WILL break down at some point (ask the Army) and 2) They they are the most amazing "kit" car that is so able to be manipulated that you'll spend your life repairing, upgrading etc. (that goes from the experience of coming a family of farmers in the North of Scotland). They're almost "expected" to need repair/upgrade. Another skill-set for your bio/resume/c.v.
Man, I've missed Carl's videos. Good to see you're back and hope you are well
Yeah I was beginning to wonder if he had found something else and was withdrawing from YT life...😲
Good he is back, those videos are great!
I especially appreciate your attitude and humor when dealing with the inevitable glitches that come along. Can’t wait to see what projects you have next!
5:04 I love the baguette that he shoves into the side storage space, great subtle comedy👌
Welcome back, Carl. I'm looking forward to seeing the evolution on the farmhouse. You folks do amazing quality work!
Also, I really miss my old ex-MoD Defender 90...
SO happy to see a post! Glad to know you're OK.
Good to see you back. Lots of folk with autoimmune diseases and difficulties have good improvements re less inflammation and ease of pain doing a no grain/ no dairy (i.e. paleo / keto eating regime). It has definitely helped me Carl this past 9 years. Wishing you well. x
Just rub some dirt on it!
13 minutes of entertainment. Thank you for another video. The bread was priceless.
Thanks for taking us with you, through thick and thin showing the ups and downs is honest and inspiring. I appreciate that it is a lot of extra effort to carry and use all the filming kit so extra thanks for making the effort for our benefit.

Quite a nice motor. Million thanks from St. Paul,Minnesota.
I'm amazed you can get a Land Rover started ! well done.
???

Good to hear from you, Has anyone ever changed a windshield wiper in good weather?
I worked for a large Utility Company in the 80s & 90s ... our Land Rover problems were reduced after switching some of the fleet to
4x4 County Transits which had better payload and towing capacity, and didn't fail as often as the LRs ...
Love your content. Can’t wait for new videos to drop
Thanks for taking us along

the Landy is full "Mad Max" spec now, love it
I find watching your work very relaxing & have watched them multiple times 😊. Can't wait for the next one.
I'm off to bed now... got diy work in the garage again tomorrow. Goodnight 🥱💤
If you do still want to upgrade the headlights, I use osram nightbreakers. They're a massive difference.
Good to see you back on your (mis)adventures. Have a great summer mate.
🙋👍 Glad to see you again. Good luck with new projects

Good to see you're still active! And love that baguettes fall under long items you store in the car 😆 you're nearly completely French!
Love your video. Tip from me: you are not supposed to lubricate the tow ball. It makes it harder for the trailer to grip the ball. Instead, polish it with some sand paper.
Yes you should with standard fittings , metal to metal dry has no damping effect it just creates excessive wear, don't confuse them with Alco/ caravan type that have built-in friction pads.
Land Rovers are great - but I do respect Toyota for its reliability! 😊Great Video! Looking forward to your building projects.

Land Rover designs good looking car. The rest is unpleasant.

Great Video! About headlight guards attached with pop rivets. How do you change a light bulb, please? Do you have to remove the rivets?
What a cool day in the life of a video. Thanks for sharing

Welcome back. have missed your videos. Sorry about the Defender issues, but, that is the cost of doing business.
I really like this channel. Very laid back and good quality videos.
A good video, as you have us accustomed

Carl, Good to see you back. Go well my friend. Keep safe and enjoy your future trip..... Bob (Weston super Mare)

I was just thinking the other day I was ready for some fresh CR content 🙌🏼🤣
Thanks!
Thanks Mike! :)
I so have missed seeing your videos, welcome back.
I always thought you make a great announcer for commercials and such. A nice soothing voice
Good to see you back. Greeetings from Beijing.
well done Carl. Good to have you back posting.
Great video, albeit it a few nasty costs and work, but hope to see you fresh faced and up to speed soon, love from Yorkshire matey ! take it easy ....
Looking forward to see some up coming projects. Always worth the wait.
My output shaft spun as well. I put my foot down on the gas for a good 30 minutes to friction weld the shaft together.
Why don’t we have politicians like Carl? He figures out the problem, knows where to get the tools and parts, understands how to fit everything together properly, and look like he’s having fun doing it.
Good to be back looking forward to next projects just sayin from North of Newcastle 🇬🇧🇬🇧😊
Great to see you Carl. Looking forward to what you have in store for us. Xx

Buy a lexus....if you want to avoid problems.
When the Japanese style their vehicles properly....their products will be unbeatable.
Karl should buy an Ineos....so far these vehicles are shaping up to be very good indeed.....lets hope they establish a reputation for reliability.
Great Vid Been through france quite a few times, I do also agree with the smaller roads way more too see and beautifully Villages and countryside
Carl awesome to see your notification come up! Great additions to the truck . Good to see your videos again! 👍👍
Looking forward to see some up coming projects. Always worth the wait.. Looking forward to the upcoming projects! Great to see you back!!.
Hombre, ya era hora de un nuevo vídeo, los echaba de menos. Un saludo desde España 🇪🇸
Loved the video, I thought this was my old defender when I clicked on the thumbnail. I hope you have led bulbs in your headlights as you'll need to drill those rivets out of the guards to change the bulbs.

i was glued to screen great video thanks for sharing
Look at you all tricked out and utilitarian, I love your videos!

Good to have you back
Great to see back up and running m8
Looking forward to the upcoming projects! Great to see you back!!

I just thought about you and you posted a video immediately. It's Miracle!
Happy to see you back
Great to see you back. More content soon I hope
Great to see a new video. Been wondering how to send good wishes and appreciation. Keep on being you Carl.
You definatly chose a good garage to do the upgrade !, been watching their channel for a while 👍
Hi Carl - good to see you back again - noticed you have the LR version without A/C. Can be retrofitted at a not too high cost...
Good to have you back.Looking forward to see more of the home re pair. One love💯❤
YOURE BACK!
Content de votre retour en images !!!! 👍🏻👏🏻
What a mission you had great editing too
Дякую, за відео. Дуже подобається слухати вашу англійську, приємний голос та дикція.

2:54 NEVER is a very long time. 😀
Have you ever tried Rain x on your wind shield. It works great to bead off the rain when wipers are being challenged.

Omg if there was a horse on the bonnet it could be Mat Armstrong's channel 😂
Good you're back 👍
Welcome back Carl 😁👍🏻
Thanks for the video Carl
I always learn something and am entertained.

Great to hear from you again
Good looking Land Rover great setup 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
This video should have been titled…
”pimp my ride!”
Fantastic!
My output shaft broke about 18th the ago. Not fun lol. Good video. Keep up the good work 👍

I can definitely say that dog really misses you
