Listen carefully ...in the background you can hear Bing singing "I'm dreaming of a dry Christmas" .....😂😂🇻🇨
Or as me poor old grandad used to sing 'I'm dreaming of a tight Christmas'
Just did the same thing last week, finally wired up my electric windows. Next on my list is genuine door seals
The screwdriver at 12:48 isn't a Philips, it's a Pozidrive.
I'll grab my Anorak and see myself out.
Beat me to it. Pozidrive #4. Snap-On sell them. Often confused in North America, seems they didn't get the memo about Pozidrive, but a Phillips driver will destroy the fastening. Landies are full of them.
Early door hinge screws use a Pozi4 👍🏻
I love you random musical quotes and you do amaze me with some of the stuff you know. S-express did some quite good stuff in their day.
Lol! The reason is the radio here is truly awful, so my shop music is a collection of 6,000 MP3's on random shuffle!
@@BritannicaRestorations same for my workshop, an old mp3 player just on shuffle, including learn Italian lol

Hey Mike, Greetings from Scotland & hope lifes good ? Im just about to start rebuilding my newly aquired 1993 200tdi 90 pick up..its on a Marsland galv chassis and is getting a hardtop convertion, a new galv bulkhead and new galv front doors & rear door. Figured spend once and do it right .... just wanted to say thanks for all the very informative videos and im sure they will help imeasureably.
Thank you - best of luck!
Mike
Eh easy tiger.... some of us are cyclists too!! Responsible ones mind!!
I've had good results on my series hinges by drilling them out for M8, tapping the lower section of the hinge an using an allen headed M8 bolt. No slop and you can get some lube into them.
Good idea!
happy new year mick from sunny wigan
Happy new year!
Mike HNY to you, would love to see you change the door hinges for a good quality set in a future video - was thinking of stainless steel set and also repair rusted internal door frame at the same time as rust just fall out every time you shut the door.
SS are good but pricey. I usually fit the td5 style

Have you ever done a video of fitting a door from scratch/whjere the adjustment it ect?
Go to my home page and search for doors
Many thanks. @@BritannicaRestorations
Haha. “Shouting at cyclist!” Haha. Too funny
Musical Mike and his subliminal song titles strikes again! theme from s'express (s'express) rubber ball (buddy Holly) "constan breaking" didn't count KD Lang sang constan CRAVING,! have a great new-year Mike thanks for all the fun silliness and sharing you knowledge
Lol Happy new year!
Non genuine rubber is shit Michael.
Seasons Greetings from Australii.
Hey! Electric windows! Would be great to get a teach-in on how to retro-fit those sometime. Y'know, when you've nothing else to do....
I have fitted after market kits in the past, and they were crap - get Td5 onward mechanisms and interior door mounting panels
Good stuff as always Mike👍🏽
As you’ve said before the most annoying thing about Defenders is how many issues they could have fixed but didn’t bother!
I’ve drilled a 8mm hole at front of gutter and pushed one of those plastic pipe connectors in this let’s me put a “down pipe” of small diameter pvc tube down window frame with adhesive cable tie bases and exit at side of wing.
Seems to keep water from pouring directly into door seal and interior👍🏽
Might freeze up where you are though🥶
I bet you back in the late 50's when this body shell was thought of, they didn't take into account bigger springs on the back, to all the water off the roof runs to the front!
@@BritannicaRestorations
The Landrover moto.. “Good Enough!”😅
Or "adequate"
@@BritannicaRestorations If they were perfect we wouldn’t need “To make Landrovers better!” And were would be the fun in that?😅
I want to fit these seals to my old series 3 I understand it’s just a matter of cutting the bent edge off the body work where the old type of seal sits in?
You can, but the lip maybe too small - proceed with caution!
Hi Mike, a few questions for you:
• Who’s TD5 hinges would you use?
• Would you recommend the genuine ones? • Is it worth getting a pro to paint these body colour or can you get good results with a spray can?
Thanks. I definitely owe you a bottle of Jamesons by now!!!
Well I used to use the cheaper hinges, but the castings were rough (so needed some finishing) they are about £10 each - worked fine
LR ones are £50 each and made in the UK - slightly better finish
You need to get them epoxy primed and painted for a long life - cans are no good
@@BritannicaRestorations Thank you.
The older hinges are posible to repair the td5 you can not repair.
Cheers King Mike. 🥃
Btw Im also out of J. Maby Il get some for christmas.
Have fun
@@BritannicaRestorations Done that. 😉
Hi Mike. Any ideas where and how to fit a baby seat in defender 90 especially if you two persons traveling
No idea! Never had the opportunity to fit one!
Hey Mike,. Do you know if the Puma seals will fit as SIII?
Yes but you have to remove the angled lip on the frame to get the seat to push on - but if you cut it off then the remaining part may be to small to push the seal on - risky
Will it fit a series 3 the door seal
You can, but the lip maybe too small - proceed with caution!
UK during the summer my td5 defender doors close fine but during winter when it drops below or close to freezing they don't latch correctly! any ideas?
The rubber gets hard - over here we spray silicone on the seals to make them stop sticking with ice and make them a little more flexible
Mike, do you or your kind lady use reddit? Got a video that I think you'll like.
Sorry I don't do any social media except here
@@BritannicaRestorations no worries. Its my bodge of a fix when my throttle cable broke on my 110. Think you'd be proud.
