Safety tip: On removing the punctured wheel it is good safety practice to temporarily slide it half under the side of the car just in case of a jack failure until the replacement wheel is fitted. Another great infovid

I am blue in the face in repeating myself ad nauseam ( Wife, Daughter...) that this should be the first thing everyone should do with a new car. Well done Tyler! you are now in the 1% percentile of the population:)

Love the videos so much and how you do things exactly the way most of us would in the real world, not editing out mistakes , but showing how mistakes can and will be made. Much better than the "sterile" videos of people with experience going from beginning to end with everything perfect . It's all very good watching those type of "how to" videos, but there are pitfalls for people who have little or no experience of even basic stuff - like changing a spare wheel. I remember trying to pull the wheel brace up to loosen the wheel nuts on my first Land Rover 30 odd years ago and nearly giving myself a hernia - until someone pointed out that pushing down and using gravity was the way to go. Simple things like this really do help a complete novice. That alignment tool - what a great piece of kit. As others have stated, please get these in stock, Simon. I've just ordered the airbag removal tools from you the other day. I bought a 2013 facelift steering wheel last year , plus a conversion for the switchgear so it can be fitted to a 2007 model.Bloody expensive ! It's been sat up the shed for ages. I've finally decided to fit it. I saw your airbag removal video ages ago and as I'm really bored in lockdown, finally decided to do the job. Can't wait for the tools to arrive. Regards. Ian

This is a thing everyone that is going to drive the vehicle should do before ever using the vehicle, if only to familiarise yourself with where the tools are. The extended wheel stud is a thing I have made up for the past 20 years for all of my vehicles, they are essential for the awful modern car wheel bolt type as you cannot locate the hole to insert the wheel bolt, with a slave stud it makes the job easy, not so bad with the proper wheel studs on a Land Rover of course, but for the spare it is very useful, I doubt that few females would be able to lift the spare off the back door though, (or I would not like to meet them on a dark night if they could). It is good that you were able to lift the vehicle enough with the jack, given that you were parked a lot higher that the road under your jacking point! Thanks for posting , stay safe! Chris B.

Really liking your videos! Located in the US. Took delivery of my new Defender 11 days ago. Because of you, downloaded new software without a problem, named our car (Clive), and now know where to find the jack and where the lift points are!! Thanks again.

Just a quick one on locking wheel nuts, theyre usually alot weaker than the standard ones so its always worth removing them FIRST so there isnt any additional pressure on them causing it to strip, i usually remove the nut completely before starting on the others

Good video. If you ever get lost. Tyler’s left arm always points towards the north 🤣. I like the design for locating the jacking point. Nice and clear.

The new alloys look awesome. Keep the videos coming. Very interesting and entertaining.

Yes have my first wheel problem, rear off side wheel report losing air. Thought it was due to cold temperatures. However its gone down again, so wheel change tomorrow so interesting to see you doing the drills.

The Defender gets a spare wheel for it's retro looks, nearly everything else gets a tin of gunk 🤣

I've been watching your videos for long enough....I'm really not wondering about the sardines in the boot! Once upon a time perhaps I would have, but after several hours watching your madcap ways, not any more!

Hi 👋 nice 👍 and new wheel looks much better. Very good Thanks 🙏

All praise to you , at least your not going off on one at the camera . I bet this car costa bit . . Fair play . Thank you for a very honest account about this beautiful Defender .

Great video lads 👍🚘luv the new rims.

New rims are lush!

Tip: When removing the wheel remove the lowest nut last and insert this one first, this stops the wheel from tipping before the last nut is removed or after this has been inserted.

Another interesting video! Any idea if that 'wheel lining up' device can be bought from LR (or anywhere else) and do you reckon I could use it on my FFRR?

Great video

Nice! I like the alignment post. I need to get one of those...

Great video! Also, what was the performance message that showed up when you took delivery of the car?

Nice and easy .....

To lock the steering wheel, ensure wheels and steering is dead center, then switch car off and turn steering to the right, past the half way mark ( 6 o clock) and it will lock ( Audible click). to release,pull to right past half way with foot on the brake. start car and release steering and lock is off. I used similar procedure on my Discovery Sport 2018 and it worked well.

That long locator nut is probably to help handling the wheel for both replacing wheel and removal, plus preventing scratch damage to the rear mount ?

Love the white board

would be great to see a video about the wheels and what other wheels would fit. Are 18s the smallest size you can fit?

steering lock is set automatically when you lock the car, handbrake is applied when you put the transmission to P.

Looks like "wheel hangers" or "pins" could be a great Defender accessory for powerful to sell!!!!

hi mate could you tell me the make of tyre on the standard 19" wheel many thanks keep the videos coming

Did you manage to follow up if there were to be wheel chocks supplied? If that was me I would be carrying an cordless drill/screw driver with adapter to spin off/on those wheel nuts and if it has enough torque possible use on the jack

Could do with a Hexagonal bolt welding into the jack handle lug to facilitate a zip gun wind up

Wonder how many different locking nut patterns there are, and how long before the spares start getting stolen, like those on the Discos.

Was wondering if you could tell us part number for the alignment pin would definitely buy a couple for my D3 Keep giving us videos like this,thanks

I think you were too close with the "Keys" for the steering lock to work

Hi guys love your videos always watch them while your vehicle is lovely and you why don't you spray the hubs as the centre parts always go rusty on new vehicles and it would be so easy to do your homes and breaks while it's nice and new

For safety purpose, you should always put the wheel you took off underneath the car, as close as possible to the jack, while you put in the spare. In case the jack fails or slips, the car will rest on top of the wheel.

Any instructions on how to remove the bracket of the spare? Nice video...

Hey, my car was fully jacked when changing wheels and they didn’t set the air suspension to off road. So far (1 week since then) all looks ok but I’m really concerned as the manual says you must set it to off-road mode. Are my concerns on place? What can happen with the car? Thanks a lot. Marek

Consider a run flat tyre....?

Very useful tip about cross balancing the valve and the locking wheel nut. On a separate note do you know of the delay in getting the accessories for the Defender. Our Defender has been sat at the dealer for 2 weeks now waiting for the Country Pack and a couple of other options we ordered back in October and the dealer hasn't a clue when they will come so we just have to wait on the JLR parts department getting the back orders sorted.

Are the AT3 any noisier?

Anybody monitoring this thread know if there's a flat jack point to allow use of a bottle jack? Or are we stuck using the provided jack? Havent seen any bottle jacks with a v 'head' that would work on this...

I think Craig has OCD but sadly for me, I agree with having the Land Rover logo straight on the spare wheel, not so sure about valve and locking wheel nut though, especially if it's dark, raining and freezing, all you'd want to do is get the job done and back in the car

Did the TPMS recognise the new wheels and did the jack cause any marking on the jack points?

The Stig

them wheel liney up thing have been out years but i could never find one to buy so mr powerful uk whats it called, great vid and the best looking defender ever

Hi great video 👍🏼 . I have a 2018 Land Rover Discovery v6 super charge. Do you have a video of replacing or the location of the Vapor Canister Purge Solenoid? I’m getting a p0496 code high purge flow. Unfortunately I can’t seem to find it. If you have any suggestions can you please let me know thank you.

Why did you not have the landrover on level ground to start with the puts a lot of pressure on the jack to start with

All that info is in the manual. ... BUT, could you please do a video on how to tow the vehicle if stranded. There is a manual way to get it into neutral, but it's not in the e-handbook! I do however have a screenshot of the tech manual on how to do it, so if you have an email address I could send it to, I will do so

lefty loosey righty tighty

I’m more familiar with the spare tyre’s location, because of the Jeep Wrangler. Full sized spare as well, not the space saver donut.

You're doubled parked my friend ;)

Australia - O shit mate, we have a flat, cracks open a beer and get on with it. UK - O no... we have a flat, better get out the risk assessment

They are called 'wheel hangers' or 'pins' which will hold the rim centred on the hub and take the weight while you hand screw in the wheel bolts. Laser have a 5-piece set (6483) including the most common sizes although they are for hubs without studs so won't fit the Defender: www.machinemart.co.uk/p/laser-6483-5-piece-wheel-hanger-set/ but these are quite expensive. You can get a plastic one from VW which does the job but note they call them 'tommy bars': www.partshaus.co.uk/collections/audi-accessories/products/vw-audi-skoda-seat-tommy-bar-disc-and-wheel-alignment-tool-893012223

I like the original wheels better but the new ones will make it stand out from the rest.

Taking the wheel off locking wheel nuts comes off first, tightening wheel locking wheel nut last.

Aligning the air valve with the clock nut does nothing for dynamic wheel balance as wheels are balanced off the car with no wheel nuts fitted. That’s just an ocd thing gong on. I mean, it’s night, raining and out in the sticks. Wheel gets swapped ASAP, bugger lining up badges and wheel nuts.

What is that tool at 4:12? Anybody know ?

Simon...I was looking at the new Launch Edition today being prepared as a Demonstrator. It is very different to the Disc 5 and will be a success but one accessory needed quickly is a spare wheel cover ...a hard case version rather than soft might be good...left bare. It looks just a bit vulnerable. I think they need a tow bar to look right I’m not sold on the plastic lunch box that fits on the side which thankfully, you haven’t got! Now sardines?....a secret hiding place perhaps??? 🧐🤓🤓😃😃😃😃Richard.

Does Tyler require constant micro managing I wonder? Lol!

That jack would be a pain on soft uneven ground

Tell Tattooed Tyler to pull UP on the Wheelbrace, not down.

What a pain in the arse is the parking brake placement.

Some people don’t read, just watch.... i.e. show people how to nip up the nuts once you’ve dropped the jack, cos you showed every other process apart from the most important one... just saying !

I WOULD BE PHONE AA RAC

You are tying to get the YT money in. 😂. Hoping this will bring the pennies in for a few decades.

How in heaven's name didn't they realise the open tailgate would obscure the right hazard lights! Should have mounted those small lights high up the pillar next to the rear window.

righty-tighty, lefty- lousy

Observed the issue with drivers side rear lights at Defender launch. Factory personnel didn't seem bothered. Why weren't they carried over to edge of opened door? How did the vehicle pass safety standards? Poor validation under TS16949.

I'd prefer to delete the entire thing.

sardines 🤮😷

Most painful video to date wow.

Thankfully this is only a demonstration and not done in a real situation on any road in the rain or snow! A bit too much faffing about, worrying, time wasting and messing, just get on with it if you get a puncture.

Why would anyone buy that car. Can you option the defender with a tow truck or maybe a sat phone.
