Mike working as a mechanic will teach you every day

Fascinating process. You certainly know your way around a Land Rover gearbox. Well done sir.

Excellent video Mike -- loads of stuff we'd never learn anywhere else!

Thanks for tutorial,i remember doing my lt230 on my lt85 gearbox i forget to put oil on them felt washers and those bolt guides are a very good tip. l put silicone in between the gearbox and transfer box just in case them oil seals did leak,i remember them case bolts in the manual it gave you lengths of each and i wondered why,i glad i followed the manual as you said you will bend them bolts if their the wrong size. l got to admit i am getting on in age and that cold weather you work in would stop me doing many jobs .

Great video, great tips! Thanks for sharing👍

I took a prop off a jenson which had no felt seal on the axle and got covered in ep90 , and I wasn't allowed in the house till I binned my clothes, great video 👍

Elementary my dear Watson, can't beat diagnosing issues with old motors, I've had plenty of practice, I own a P38 😂 had a series Land Rover, Classic Range Rover, Mitsubishi Pagero, you get the picture.

Wish you still lived in the Teesside area,I'd have mine in for a refurbish no problem!

Someone put the long bolts in the front of my transfer case and caused that exact issue... took an age to get the bugger out and as you said had to helicoil it... wish the previous owners had watched this vid

Another good episode mate. 👍👍

Very good job thanks

Ah… I just now found out I put the longer bolt in from the backside… Replaced the transfer box a year ago. Blown the r380 lady werk, so removed the transfer box and found one of the bolts was slightly damaged at the end, like it rubbed against something. Came out ok, so hopefully the damage is not that severe and i can reuse the transfer box without opening it. R380 is blown… big bang on the highway at 100kmh and no gears left. I drive a td5 defender 130 and plan on changing the gearbox with a disco 300tdi box with an adapter. The blown r380 I plan on rebuilding (if still possible).

Mike what is the difference between Hylomar Blue and Hylocil. Applications etc. Onto the spray bottle, I bought one, different colour from yours but same high standard Chinese factory. It wouldn't hold pressure from new. PTFE around the threat of the bottle, still no good. Then I looked at the top of the bottle, this was poorly finished, (not finished at all, out of the mould and into the shipping container.) I filed the top as flat as I could by eye and now the top spray part of the contraption makes a seal when screwed on. I hope this makes sense to you and the viewers who have the same sprayer. The top of the bottle must be free of mould marks and 90 degrees to the threat. Excellent diagnosis work by the way. It does look like someone has been there before you, probable trying to fix the same problem and it was caused by a kinked hose!!

I have to do my input seal on the D2 I wonder if your guide bolt method would work on car with the drive. shafts disconnected. I'll have to scope it out. Thanks for the bolt tip.

Hello, thanks for the video’s. Very nice explained. I have one question if is possible to help me with. I have a Disco 2 2004 TD5 no CDL, is the transfer case from Disco 1 compatible with my gearbox to make a conversion to CDL? Thank you in advance. Happy new year.

When joining the transfer box with the gearbox is a gasket/silicone required? Thanks!

Any chance of having more videos on the Land Rover NAS 3.9/4.0 V-8s?

Are those long studs, Metric 10mm Mike? The idea of those studs is very good.

I just finished reseal font and rear seals and the input seal. however ive just noticed gear oil leaking from the front out put shaft housing where it joins the main casing :(. Can i leave it in situ and reseal the front output housing? It took me sooooo long to remove and put back (from a Disco2)

What's the thread of the guides and what's the amount of play the gearbox inputshaft is allowed to have?

Can you speak german because 9:23 „kaputt“
