I am a Tdi lover... But dude, when I heard that engine running my smile was huge... Awesome!!!

HAT'S OFF to you Sam. I've been waiting during this lock down to see your next move. Many people would not have showed the Cam Carrier problem. I've been a Marine Engineer for over 25 years. Everyday I learn something new and many times have asked others. Your inspiring me to do great old Land Rover. I'm learning from you every time. Love your style. Keep teaching us. Stay honest.

That was existing! When the engine finally started I was cheering 🤣 looking forward to follow the rest of the build! Cheers

That smile when it fired up says it all! Well done on a quality engine build.

That was an emotional rollercoaster, genuinely punched the air when it started! 💪🏼 loving the videos.

Great Video, heart breaking when you realised you had made a mistake but great that you left it in. Amazing when it fired up sounds better than my TD5 ! 👍🏼

Absolutely bloody brilliant! I loved every second of these video's. Oh that oh so familiar sound of priming the fuel system every time I changed the fuel filter and then to hear the 5 cylinder burst into life, just makes me wish I still had my Td5 Discovery. Please keep 'em coming!!

Congratulations! Well done on persevering with what somebody had junked and you've brought back into running order. I learned a lot watching you rebuild and reassemble the head.

Nice work mate, I’d dropped the sump and check that oil pump bolt if you want it to be long lasting! Had this happened on our disco 2 and was a bloody nightmare

i am excited to hear the engineer finally started, great jobs!

Great channel! I had to pause the video and walk away when you realized it was locked up! Must have felt great to persevere and start that beast! Congratulations

Another brilliant video, well done.

We've all done that victory dance when an engine fires up for the first time. Well done!

Man at 30:59 I literraly stood up from the chair and felt that excitment!!Defender 110 v8 here

Hi mate. Love the enthusiasm! I am in the trade too, we all make mistakes but the main thing is you realised and fixed it before it did any damaged. Well done that man 👍

Another great video, great to see all the details in the build & how you go through everything. Good to see you show your mistakes too. Looking forward to this build

That Turbo defenitly needed help 😉. That engine sounds really nice. No knoks etc, nice jop 👍

This was an amazing video to watch. I'm happy to kept everything in here, including the mistake. We've all been there. Way to power through!

Max respect to any KZfaqr who shows thier mistakes 👍👍 And on that basis you have gained a new subscriber 😊

Another great video, keep them coming! We'll done on fixing her up! Most people would of walked away or shyed away 🇬🇧👌🏻

Had me on the "edge of my seat". Such a glorious sound. Thanks for giving such an informative watch. I'm in Australia and own a 1993 Defender 200Tdi, cab chassis. Rescued from an abusive owner and I've learnt everything from people like you and for myself this is a never ending story of taking things off and playing around with it and looking for something else to "fix". I'm needing to do my turbo cartridge and I thoroughly enjoyed watching you. UBIQUE mate.

I'm loving your work fella! This channel perfectly sums up why we all love a Land Rover and the joy and pain of keeping them going. With your level of enthusiasm and knowledge this channel will go far. Keep em coming!

Great video Sam, great presenting style too! Love it that you’re not aloof or pretentious and show us your mistakes as well as your triumphs. That is after all, how we learn and grow, by making errors and reanalysing our actions. I do have workshop envy though, what I wouldn’t give for a big, airy workshop to tinker away in. Keep up the videos, they are inspiring 👍

I’ve never been more engaged in a KZfaq video. That was bloody brilliant!

The suspense on waiting for engine start was killing me. Hearing it come to life was sooooooo awesome. You do good clean work Juice Motors. Nice

Love the excitement when it finally turned over, good work man!

having a td5 and just got the egr delete kit i was glued to this video. Love your work. Clever guy.

Absolutely fantastic. I even shouted when it started. How anyone could give you two thumbs down is beyond me.

Well done. Your perseverance is inspiring.I thought these kinda things only happened to me.Nice result in the end.

Fair dues Sam for sticking with that one,keep up the great work-delighted to see it restart-nice to see a very smart td5 coming alive again,sounds👌

31:00 SUCCESS!!!! Oh How I waited for that!!! Good job mate....

Another excellent vid Sam. I've been in the trade 34 years and we all make mistakes it's how you deal with it and find a solution to rectify the problem. 👍👍👍👍👍👍 I only wish I had the balls to set up my own garage like you have. I can't wait to see your new place. Good luck and stay safe. 👏👏👏

Superb effort, thanks for including the problem with the engine re-build. Looking forward to the next episode.

Only found this channel recently, love what you are doing with Land Rovers - a nice chill out watch for me after spending a day working on my own one haha

Top vid matey,you done a top job there,looking forward to the next vid👍👍👍👍

You R the "Defender" of Defenders. I like to see all your Tricks as u go thru the process. 👍👍

Oooohhh dear God, I held my heart really tight when the moment of truth came, I made a loud noise when it started and every one looked at me, wooww🤗🤗 it sounded healthy indeed. I love Td5s and am aiming towards getting one, I v learnt alot from this video, can't wait for the next one.

An easy mistake to make and one most of us have done. Well done, top man for including it in the video.

Best engine breakdown ever. Thanks for sharing buddy!

Just found your channel! I'm researching for a new job opportunity building defenders from the chassis up. Was so relieved the engine fired up despite the set back so well done!

great video had me on the edge of my chair cheering you on literally, it comes a time in every defender owners life were your hart is in your teeth as you turn that key after some big mechanical job!! great effort keep it up

Well done getting that engine running, looking forward to seeing the chassis repairs.

Honestly best feeling is when the turbo spools up and you get that beautiful low end growl from the engine and exhaust 😩👌🏻

Well done chap great video and very helpful 👍 Who on this earth let’s a Landrover get into that state 🙄😤

Well done!! I think I would have thrown a few tools if I had to re-do a head gasket. Cant wait for the next episode.!

Yay she starts 🥳, I bet you said some choice words with that cam carrier. Great videos, glad I found your channel 👍

Nice when a TD5 comes back alive eh!.. i love my Disco 2 TD5.. mapped, straight piped..sweeetttttt!!!!!!!!

Just found the channel by accident. Great watch for any Land Rover fan. Good editing, good personality. A bit of off roading and it’ll be perfect 😉

Wow , loving these vids and yes I did shout YES when the engine started lol as a new LR 90 owner its lovely watching what can be done , thank you Sam

Dude i really like the fact that your episode are really complete and you are not adding up videos to make more clicks. Please keep the at least 30min format and the multiple days story it's so much more enjoyable to watch! And good job with that td5 you have a real patience with that :)

Great work. Your knowledge is immense.

Eureka !! Oh the suspense , but worth hearing it fire back into life !! Look forward to the next installment ....

Nice job, i really enjoy when cara are put back togheter 😂 like your vids ✌🏻😎

I've been checking daily for this video update, so was very pleased to get a notification today. Great work, a proper test of your patience but all worth it in the end! 👐👏

Really enjoying your uploads Sam, up there with mike at Britannia restorations no bullsh*t level headed approach as such lol and thanks for sorting the music audio volume

Fantastic job mate! Gutted for you having to change the head gasket again.

Well done mate, most impressed.

You did a great jobs bro to let the td5 alive, please upload more video about defender, can't wait to watch more!!!!!

That was soo satisfying to see it run! Great great work and looking forward to binge watching the rest of the series 😂

You deserve more subscribers mate 👍👍

Excellent.!!! Engine has a smooth and nice sounds. Was cheering with you. 😂

Beautiful!... You have made a super quality repair on that L R very consciencous in your work. Well done.

The last time I rebuilt a Turbo was way more than 20yrs ago, It was for a two door SAAB 99 which I believe was the first production car to have a Turbo. 👍

Loving the videos mate, I have a Defender 90 in Melbourne. Watch you has really inspired me......... To find a really good mechanic. Lol

Really happy to have stumbled onto your channel

Gutted for you with the cam cradle but well recovered! I'd everything crossed on the start up, engine sounded great! Lovely job and great video.

Great vids looking forward to the next episode my stomach was churning just before the start up 😂 but great success, top Job 👌

Brilliant work, mate! I hope your channel blows up! You deserve it!

Hey iam from kenya and i really love the vids great work keep it up

Nice great to see the engine run

Great Result! Giving me an idea to change the turbo cartridge in mine to a hybrid one 🤔

i was rooting for you and well happy it started

You deserve a medal 🥇

Cheers from all around as she fired up, well done!!

Another great video, had everything crossed when you was trying to fire her up, any one would of thought it was mine with how happy I was when It did start lol keep up the great work here is two next weeks video

Amazing video, displaying all the work you carry out which provides me with additional info. on any work I may wish or have to carry out on my TD5!! Looking forward to seeing you change the crossmember which I'm sure will be another great video 😁

Fantastic men! Love your video’s/movie’s Hans van leersum.

Congrats! Your video is very informative and exiting. Keep on running young man!

Another great video, ups and downs of landy repairs perfectly illustrated. Looking forward to the replacing the rear cross member to see what you do with the wiring loom in chassis rails. I've assisted in a rear cross member swap and it will be good to see how you do it.

Well done Sam. Felt your elation. 😀👍🏻

Fantastic video, amazing job. I hope to do a rebuild myself one day!

the trouble with buying a reconditioned turbo is that you can guarantee the internals put in it are any good, if you do it yourself you know whats going in to it. I have a VW Crafter van which used to be a courier van or company van of some sort, i have a huge ring binder with the service history and previously its had 3 turbos but each only costing £300 suggesting they were reconditioned chocolate ones. i've since had to put another turbo on but went with the genuine Mitsubishi one they came with and it hasn't missed a beat.

great video, love the content, good to see your video quality improved so much

Brilliant sound when it started, the hard work paid off! That engine sounds fantastic i want a defender. Liked and subscribed 👍

Legend you never gave in

Good work friend you are professional

Put new injector seals in .usually does it. You can hear also on starter motor one cylinder or more is lower compression. Or not injecting properly

Great job Sam............glad I subscribed !...............love your style and talent Sir...........just something about the Brits on utube, and yes I am too .

yet anothet cracking video bud your passion is always amazing and when that engine started just smazing buddy still life in the old dog 😂😂cant wait till next part well done bud you deserve a few 🍺🍺

I think every one watching this was shouting "come on. start".

Nice work mate! Great vid!

Loving the content, great amount of depth and interesting to watch! Keep it up!

You need to fit the cam carrier that came with the head as they are line board. I had the same issue with a D2 swap it over it will be good to go

Great job Juice. Well done.

Congratulations man you work like myself do it properly anything you see on the way out just replace it nice to know other Landy lads do that also as there’s a lot of bodgers out there

Superb job!

Think there is a small filter in the head behind the fuel regulator that needs changed when you fit the regulator

A lot of work but it paid of in the end great job

Cool. New channel to watch. Enjoyed that 👍

Excellent effort
