Smart move putting on hoist as you tend to look at everything when you are under it. I bought my own hoist because of this. And that music is fine, people might not know about volume control if they complain. Thanks for making the time to make this.

Worked on series 3, they had oil filled front hubs, also noticed you didn't mention transfer box at rear of gearbox, although if gearbox oil was fresh I would assume this would be good too. Good condition for year looked well aged underneath so would imagine fairly original.

Looks like he missed the transfer box and front swivels and maybe air filter oil bath.

Hi Doc, nice video. The music isn’t that bad, & there’s only a few seconds of it. Was the oil changed in the transfer box & both front swivels too? Keep up the good work, Nigel.

@petersmith4455 Жыл бұрын

hi, great video. has the oil been changed in the air cleaner,? rust needs sorting all over the place, check around rear spring hangers and rear cross frame.i would also fill with new coolant and anti freeze, good luck,

@gavin6538 Жыл бұрын

Unless you are going for a full stripdown and paint the chassis I would recomend lanoguard as it seems to soak into the surface rust then next time I checked it was gone.

@martythomas599 Жыл бұрын

How about brake fluid, clutch fluild and coolant. They need charging also.

@thedoctorsgarage Жыл бұрын

You’re right they probably do- maybe next time- with how clean the rest of the oils were I feel reassured leaving them for a bit 👌🏻

@highdownmartin Жыл бұрын

Spay underneath with engine oil and diesel. Messy but do the sprngs and it’ll ride much better. Axles chassis under the tub everything.

Good to see nothing too bad underneath - those tyres do look a bit dangerous though - be nice to coat underneath but I’m not sure how to care for the leaf springs as just painting them probably not ideal?

@sshhoovveell 10 ай бұрын

kerosene and transmision oil mix workes great

@Jason-cl8hk Жыл бұрын

You can cover the springs in old engine oil as a stop gap but as you say, it’s looking pretty decent.

@thedoctorsgarage Жыл бұрын

Good idea that- should have kept some of the oil!

@gavin6538 Жыл бұрын

@@thedoctorsgarage why would you use old oil? you have a vehicle thats nice and clean underneath that will be covered in stinking black oil that you will be covered in each time you work on it. If you must use oil im sure you could find the cheap stuf in the supermarket. lanoguard goes a long way once your using it. It would also make a good video.

@James-eb8vf Жыл бұрын

@@thedoctorsgarage Mix some petrol and oil in a spray bottle and spray all the springs,the petrol helps the oils seep in through the leaf's which improves the function of them. Give them all a few coats and you really notice a difference when you drive it again.

@tonypacke6954 Жыл бұрын

Chassis is in good condition. Needs a coat of Hammerite Kurust to neutralise the rust, then a covering of Corroless chassis paint from arc-rite. You can then follow this up with Dinitrol 3125HS and possibly some Dinitrol ML inside the box sections, job done. Great video as usual but I would scrap the horrendous sound track. Was that your choice? Better without and you voicing over the video instead, may just save someone slashing a main artery!

Those tyres are shocking 🙈 , you can buy the same pattern tyres new again now to keep it original. They were unavailable for years. I'd definitely Lanoguard the chassis or repaint with Corroless paint.

No surprise the back different oil was worse than the front as the back one does most of the work. Doesn't look too bad underneath but needs waxoil or similar to stave off the corrosion.
