This is how land rover work should be done on a sunny day. A few mates round with some beer's, then when you have done enough, off to watch a local game of cricket and quietly get pissed and fall asleep. OH!!!! HAPPY DAYS INDEED. Great work done right Mike. Yorkshire Rob.
Mike, when I bought my '98 Disco TDI, it had a broken clutch fork, first job was to get the gearbox out and fix the clutch. Every bell housing bolt and nut was loose and the adaptor that sits on the rear of the block to bolt the bell housing to had a whole section cracked and broken out complete with the stud at about the quarter past one o'clock position. Had to remove the block adaptor and alloy weld the bit back in before getting the gearbox back in. Cracking can mean the bolts were not tight enough, just from that experience...
Nice to see you outside working in the sun 🌞 Mike . for a change .lol .. good job nice and relaxing viewing makes me want to do the clutch on my 110 .. lol soon..
Mike. Did one install your uprated clutch fork with throw out thrust bearing too ? Suppose the replacement clutch plate and pressure plate were all brand new. Owner wants a Blow off valve next ! V.
Is there a reason you only torqued the clutch cover bolts to 25 nm? Manual states 34 nm or 25 lb-ft. Are your new bolts only grade 8.8 instead of 10.9?
Another great video and just to confirm Mike, when you work on the transmission of 300tid Defender you always pull engine to transfure box out as a unit?? Particularly as I work on my own or with help from my 7st wringing wet girlfriend.....
If I do a clutch I take the engine out, but if it is a transmission/transfer case issue, I pull the lot out - simpler to sling the whole unit that trying to get the gearboxes back in in one lump if you see what I mean
@@BritannicaRestorations a never mind. Was hoping it was the classic beetle. That 2004 one is basically a golf with a different body on it. I find modern stuff such a pain to work on, there’s no space to get to anything.

I have a feeling they may have jammed the flywheel and cracked the housing

Yes, I always fit one of my clutch forks but had the bloody camera off when fitting it! Always fit Valeo HD clutches for the 130

Some nice Black label beer
Sorry they are all the same here!
@@BritannicaRestorations here is hansa pilsner castle lager lion lager butt black label taste the best some nice windhoek draft is also nice ice cold
It's rather like petrol here - they all fill up from the same container I am sure!!
Couldn't agree more on bud and vw...hahaha..
👍🏻😊
You weren’t tempted to get out your tig welder for that crack?
Not really a mission critical crack in my opinion - could be caused by locking the flywheel
You didn't go for the digital torque wrench then?
nope
🤣It's all about the banter! Brilliant 👍
Glad you enjoyed it!

that can of liquid has nothing to do with beer.real English ale is the best.
Can any one tell me which type of shock absorbers are used in audi Q7, Mercedes G class and land rover defenders?
Ooh what’s the beetle Debs is talking about? Please say it’s an old one and not that awful modern recreation
2004 I think-I have not seen it yet
It's a 4x4 Paris Dakar conversion project

Never see any classics on the road now
