Love the videos. The windscreen wiper was very relatable . Used to own a fourtrak . Worst rain storm you could imagine on the m1 . And my wiper flips off like yours! Had to co a couple of miles practically blind !

Great video. Just one point, I checked with Lof before fitting my flywheel and powerspec clutch. They do not recommend soaking the bush in oil, they said to just use the grease they provide as per guide. They said soaking the bush in oil can cause the bush to slip in the fly wheel. Cheers

There is nothing more “Land Rover” than doing a review of one part… while another falls off right in front of the camera 😂

My Discovery 2 is going to the mechanic on Tuesday to have the same clutch fitted after probably 9-12 months of slipping! Looking forward to seeing the difference!

Galv chassis build would be great, keep the td5 solid for another 300,000km+! Keep the videos coming saving for one of these clutch kits for when my puma gets remapped. :)

I have the ashcroft transfer box that uses the disco ratios, it really makes a difference when cruising. Good upgrade for defenders. Mine is also tuned too, it may have a stage one tune i think. Just to help iron things out. ( all this was done before i bought it)

Just watched your video and the one from Juice Motors back to back. I think a LOF Clutch is definitely on my wishlist for now. With the transfer box working a little harder, you should consider one of those finned high capacity transfer box covers. Hard to quantify exactly how much cooler the transfer box runs, but the physics of more oil and better cooling makes perfect sense. Great video, can't wait for the next one.

@r3ndszergazda 3 жыл бұрын

Great job! I've switched from a Defender to a Land Cruiser 100 series a bit more than a year ago, but I always miss the Defender (not that particular one though:D) when watching your videos. It was so easy (and cheap) wrenching on it compared to the Toyota. Although I kind of enjoy that there are 10k km's spent without wrenching & in relative silence and peace, no water in the cabin, controlled temperature, etc:D But still.. I wish I had a 90.

my main gripe with 100... torsion bar ifs front. unless you got the 105... which has the non turbocharged 1hz... PFTTTT

@shaundupreez8966 2 жыл бұрын

So a year and half on from making this Vid, would you say you still enjoying the mods? Also have you noticed a big difference in fuel consumption? Some have started a 10-15% decrease. Can you give us your honest opinion on this? I am busy doing my 110 County. Done the intercooler and remap. Next is the clutch kit and transfer box with new Vortex exhaust. So looking at above 200BHP. Ive improved handling with slightly lowered suspension, poly bushes and heavy duty anti-roll bars front and back.

Hi guys, great video. I've got a ex mod defender 110 built 1986 with NA2.5 diesel engine. After seeing your video im now thinking of changing the gear ratio in the transfer box. what do you think?

@TirsbaekTV 3 жыл бұрын

Depends what you use it for primarily - Lots of off-roading and towing then probably best to leave it, but if you mostly do on-road driving/long journeys then changing the ratio could be worthwhile 🙂

sorry for the multiple comments, but i am posting as i am seeing it...You will need to get the Speed healer, to correct the speedo. I was at 2500rpm ish at 120kph. You will probably be 2650rpm at the same speed as you are running a stock R380, while i swapped the 5th gear to a 0.735

@rickz9495 3 жыл бұрын

Speedo drive is on the output shaft of the lt230. so the speedo wont change with a different transferbox ratio.

Good evening...🤞 Do you have a LINK or am I missing something..?🧐 Why not put a SIX GEAR gearbox in ..?🧐 The beauty of the defender is mainly, it is simple and over engineered, wich makes those cars easy to service and they do take a lot of beating! But anybody following this channel already knows THAT ... I’m guessing 😜👍 ... Why do you tell everything in MILES ... ? In Europe 🇪🇺 we use the METRIC scale system, not the IMPERIAL system..!?👍😜🤞
