This might be the best documented landrover restoration/refresh ever....

I love the "This Old Tony" tempo of this video mate.

I don’t even like Land Rovers and I still watch your videos 😁

I'm one of the heroic people who can change a rear main seal while on their back in the mud. For anyone who is interested. Use dental floss or suture thread to to get the spring around the crank and back together. Simply tie to one end of the spring then wrap around the crank pulling the other end of the thread through the loop at the other end of the spring thus connecting the two ends of the spring wrapped around the crank. To get the t seals installed without damage, you simply use what you've got, in my case that was aluminum from beer cans instead of tapered guide blocks. The aluminum is thin enough to allow you to use it in place of an old feeler gauge and you can cut them to whatever size you need. Hope this helps someone.

I will never ever understand WHY when someone like Jeoffrey or anyone who actually knows what they are doing and can also entertain the world with humour whilst completing such a beautiful hard satisfying job with there hobby that there are still arseholes who enjoy giving a thumbs down. It's not just Jeof that gets them as we all know. i have my own hobbies and of course i watch videos on my hobbies and even the worlds best musicians get thumbs down,,, WHY???. Thank you Jeof for sharing all your videos with us and making us laugh at the same time. You are in my eyes quite some engineer of old school like many of us. Well done matey. stay safe. Wishing you and yours the best of health and happiness. Kev U.K.

I've missed your humor so much, I'm glad to see another post from you 👍🏻😁

Yessss. Finally. I've been waiting for so long!

That one time I did an in-frame rear main of a '62 Range Rover... whilst taking live fire in Africa, during monsoon season. Would've been fun if the cats didn't take me leg.

What a great work you done Geoffrey!, not only in the restoration, but also filming, editing, and sharing it. Cheers!

The environmentally friendly Landrover has been putting Oil back into the ground for many years, if you are not careful you may be in danger of breaking that tradition, well, for at least 1000 miles before the drips begin...great video as always! Thank you!

Watching these videos stirs a deep and primal need...must get back to the shed.... the 1928 Model A awaits.

Excellent video. Enjoying the series a lot

I’ve no intention of every stripping my Landrover down, but I’m hooked on these videos!

I am also in the middle of a land rover restoration it is a 1975 land rover series 3 109 keep up the great work

26 years old iv both series 1 and 2.great video to spark my interest in restoring dads old landys 👍

I am restoring my own series 2a land rover and I have watched all your videos and you have really helped me.

I will never ever ever take a motor like this apart..... Ever. But boy I enjoyed you doing it anyway. Great to hear a kiwi voice. Keep these videos coming. Hope there might be a smaller scale video after the car ones.

Man that crankshaft looks like an old flat head Ford model T's crank. Cool video bro.

I had not opened KZfaq until I was making coffee this morning and this video was the first thing in my feed. I thought "Woo Hoo! Geoffrey's back!" Couldn't wait to get home to watch this.

I really value your videos; informative, thorough, and really humorous. Some of my favorite stuff on KZfaq.

Thanks for explaining the basics to those of us with a limited mechanical background.

Baby battleship blue! Your engine is kiwi green all over the place. Behind camshaft end plate, top of head, behind timing chain and other places. Better get it repainted before the LR club find out. Great to have you back Geoff!

the funny thing is, involuntary I've been doing much the same repairs in the same order as this guy :) Always a pleasure to watch

Thanks Geoff.......what a great start to my weekend seeing you pop up!

Woke up this morning and first thing I've seen on my phone is notification about your video being up. :) Well of course I'll be late to work for 10-15 minutes now. :)

Glad to see a new video. Enjoy the day. Ray L

Excellent videos, excellent music. A great help for those of us who love these vehicles. Thanks a lot.

Best land rover restoration proyect i’ve found in youtube!!

Nice work - great tutorial and very useful info' surrounding that dam rear crankshaft seal set-up. More please

Geoffrey I know you love your Landie more than life it's self but being reminded here as to what an arcane object a 2 and 1/4 is; I now remember why we replaced them with Holden 161, 186 and 202 engines with an aluminum timing gear! Love your presentations, good to see you back, can't wait for part 2.

so from what I know, no two British cars/suv's from that era match. That is the cool factor. You keep up the great videos.

Nice to see you back, mate! Looking forward to the next episode

Enjoy watching you work, even at break neck speed 👍🏼

Hallelujah!! You’re back 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I’ve literally been anticipating this video every time I have opened KZfaq for months. I must say, you never fail to disappoint! Awesome

Although I will probably never be fortunate enough to own a Land Rover, let alone have the skills to rebuild it......damn, this is fascinating. Thank you Geoffrey for your humor and willingness to share your journey.

So glad to have a new video from my favorite restoration channel

Great job! Really enjoys to see bolts and nuts not coverd in paint.

I love your videos. Perfect skills and perfect humor.

Thank you for the tour Mr Croker. Good vid.

So glad I ran into your channel. Not only are the videos very well put together and informative but the best of all is your humor you put into them. I Love it! I recently acquired a 79 series III and these videos are giving me ideas👍 keep up the good work!

This serie is realy great! Thank You for uploading!

Geoff, I just wanted to say thank you for the well made videos and the clear explanations along the way. I'm getting ready to put the rebuilt engine and cleaned up transmission back into my wife's Series IIA (with Series 3 engine and trans) and your videos and blog were a big help throughout the process. A leaking rear main seal was the main culprit, but there were plenty of other worn and aging parts that needed attention, so it was a big job. I only wish you had provided a clear video showing the secret of how you finally got that stupid garter spring attached around the rear main seal. What a puzzle THAT was! Anyway, thank you, sir!

10/10 again. Just leaves me wanting more. About to do this with my engine.

i love your videos. they are cinematic in some places & your attention to detail is amazing!

Thank you for this video and the others, it's are excellents congratulations sinse Bogotá Colombia. I love the land rovers

You must realise how many times I've had to rewatch all your other videos as I desperately waited for this next instalment. Best and funniest hands on LR channel out there. Now all you need to do is publish one every week and we'll all be much happier ! Fab as usual.

Ahh, finally! Another great episode. Thanks Geoffrey.

Loving this series! Fantastic job, mate!

Glad to see your work again! Keep it up! All the best for you and NZ!

About to be a Land Rover series owner. Came across your videos. Absolutely amazing to follow!

This was a pleasure to watch. Nicely done!

Very happy to watch this at last, great work as always chap!

Just found this channel and it’s awesome

Another great video 👍🏼 very entertaining looking forward to the next instalment

Looks great! Can hardly wait to hear it run!

Awesome video, nicely done and great sense of humor!

Geoff , I did it ! Spring went in with use of a super long set of needle nose pliers. And the T seals with two pieces of shim paper. All while under the vehicle and with no engine crane for the gearbox . Surprised myself , challenge complete ;) great videos , keep up the good work. Made life a lot easier actually doing it, knowing what to expect

Oh yeah! I knew staying up late tonight was a good idea.

Good to see you back. I have never seen a rear main set up like that very interesting. Looking forward to more.. Peace

Great to see you back. Another fantastic video!

Finally, another video! Some of the best edited and explained restoration videos on KZfaq. Best wishes from the UK Geoffrey, we all missed you!

You make me want to get out to the garage and pull the engine out of my 62 model S.2a. Great to see you back

YOUR BACK!!!! Yes! I've been binge watching restoration vids in your absence but although quality of work is amazing, your narration and dry humour was sorely missed! Can't wait to watch this video!

I squealed with excitement when I saw the notification for your new video. Great work as usual, can’t wait for the next one.

WUNDERBAR! Another post from down under. Total enjoy your approach to refurbishing parts. The humour and accent are the icing on the cake. Huge "atta boy' to you for taking vids, editing and posting. Avid fan from Canada

Another great video, thanks for sharing!

Excellent work sir ! Regards Robert PARTSMADE 🇬🇧

Great video, as always. Thanks for sharing. Jason

Ah man what a satisfying thing to watch! Also I learned some good things too! I'm busy with a series 3 2.25l petrol restoration. Doing everything myself, great way to learn new skills too.

Thanks for such a good watch. Your videos are great, keep it up. :)

Your brilliant love the channel from Ireland 🇨🇮

Great to see you back Geoff! Great video, look forward to the next instalment!

Love your videos mate. Informative and very witty!!!

Fantastic work as always. Great video.

Another deeply satisfying episode.

Hi Geoffrey, once again... you made my day. My hands start itching to give it a go myself. Greetings Ruud

Just discovered this channel. Man this is addicting.

Haven’t even watched yet and already super excited.

Thumbs up before even watching. Thank you!

I LOVE your videos! Thanks for the upload. Can't wait to see more.

Always a pleasure to watch your videos, Geoffrey. Been waiting a while for this one, keep them coming!

Was looking for something to watch Saturday night while eating my fish and chips when my favourite kiwi KZfaqr popped up. Thanks Geoff, that was great!

I like your jig setup for the second round of the reaming.

Finally had a chance to watch...awesome job - really enjoy your videos

I just got through binge-watching all of these and subscribed thanks man great videos have no desire to ever ever ever own a Land Rover but the videos are awesome

Really interesting Geoffrey, love watching your films

Great video! Past (ex NZ Army) Series 2A owner and member, Canterbury Landrover Owners Club, Christchurch NZ!

So happy to see this pop up!

Awesome as always Geoff! Thanks buddy 👌🏻👍🏻

Good to see you back on this. As a Brit with some engineering knowledge, I am frequently a) hideously embarrassed, and b) astounded at the crazy thinking of some british car design engineers. How anyone could possibly think that any of the design decisions that you show the outcome of in this video are actually sound, is utterly beyond me.

I'm so glad you're back

Good to have you back!

Yo Geoff , super photography. The engine moving towards camera on the crane is like an alien ship traveling through space. Also You clearly have the Land Rover disease. Can only imagine your series LR is going to run as sweet as a nut and as tight as a drum. More power to you !!!! 🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮

I've had to watch it 3 times... just to make up for the time spent waiting.

OMG Finally. I had to watch before I went to work lol I’m late but it was worth it. Thanks for another great video 👍

Great video. Very interesting to look inside old motor :) surprising that you've found spare parts!

Slurp of the gas... Love it!

Great vid thank you. I don't own a Land Rover but I love watching your vids. Dre beats kickin and all lol

Not even halfway done watching this and it's already the most enjoyable video i have watched in a long time! I fucking love this channel.
