Bloody brilliant fella, Im just about to start on a 2A pick up, your stuff is perfect!@

Keep voting for the nanny state, maybe go to quarterly or monthly inspections. Its all about safety, not fleecing the masses. That way we get more videos Lol.

perfect detail work top

Damn I'm so excited today my Lightweight arrives. I'm a fifty something guy and I am buzzing today can't wait to get stuck in to the old crusty rust bucket. Two hours to go. Thanks for the content you are doing an awesome job..

"Oh this is perfect" I enjoy seeing the way you do things, and your attention to doing things the right way. But your of humour is as enjoyable.

Hi Geoffrey I have just finished watching one of your videos about the discovery. I too am a proud owner of a rusty piece of junk that I have owned for 7 years and it’s cost me a fortune.. saying this though on the brief occasion when it’s working and the sun is shining there is no greater joy than to drive my beloved Landrover across some open fields in sunny Devon England… Keep making these brilliant videos as you are very informative and also amusing as well BRILLIANT 🎉🎉🎉 I look forward to many more videos Steve

It's actually a steering box

I swear I hear music from Super Nintendo circa 1993 "Utopia".

We don't need another hero.... but here he is. Legend.

Great video! Thanks so much!!!

Have you been watching Vice Grip Garage by any chance ? . . . . . Probably not . 😅

Wof places are like that, get you to do all that work and when you get back to the workshop it almost feels a bit of a let down when they barely give a glance at the work you have done and slap the sticker on...

"Sorted for another six months", do you have BI-annual inspections?! What in the duck is the NZ gov smoking? Stuff like that is in Sweden, the country of control, reserved for emergency vehicles only.

I've had success in 3D printing single-use seal drivers. They're generally only good for one seal, but I usually only have one seal to install. Far cheaper than purchasing a dedicated seal driver, especially for one-off jobs like this, and can save destroying a brand new seal, which we've all done at least once.

I guess reversing lights aren't checked during the annual test then?

So, did you refill the differential and clean the breakpads…?

Always happy to see a new vid, thanks!

Six months?!

I love how satisfying it is to degrease parts.

And finally, the Nut behind the wheel...

That nut isn't going anywhere.

Do you think this is the same for a Range Rover Classic?

24:45 “These stainless steel covers are cool, bring those back” OH GOD NO. I don’t know if it’s an issue in NZ but in Rust Belt, USA those sleeved lugnuts are HORRIBLE. Moisture gets in there and caused the Lugnut to rust swelling up the outer sleeve and you can’t get a socket on the worst of them, end up having to chisel every single cap off in the worst case. Ford seems to be the worst offender from my experience, but all American brands do this and it’s never pretty. I now live in the desert and I still see it from time to time.

Land Rover “legendary” reliability means a regular stream of content from Crocker Vs Land Rover , a bonus for all us fans 🇬🇧👍🏼

Sweet Jesus a test every 6 months - a bit much. Anyhow did you check the diff oil level ?

Presume you put oil back in the axle?

Maybe they didn't even look on the re-inspection because anyone who had done that much work bringing this back would be unlikely to try and fool them.

Having to remove the half shaft for brake jobs sounds daunting.

I love all your shows most enjoyable. Here's a tip for you. When applying Loctite put it on one of the bolts then grab another one and inter twine the bolts around each other . This way you only use half the amount and you don't require that much either if you do then there is something wrong with design i feel.

Great rebuild!

Another great tutorial. Had to laugh at the flat battery 🤣

Just picked up another Rang Rover a 1990 this time. Got it for free and they were glad to get rid of it🤣 Love your videos , keep up the good work

Thx

Congrats on not turning this into a project! 😂

i use SKF LGEP 2 grease for wheel bearings. my subaru eats rear wheel bearings and they last a lot longer with that stuff. its expensive, and OTT for the application, but works amazingly well. doubles the life of them. I also use a grease packing tool instead of hand packing, its a game changer.

Love it. I'm currently rebuilding my disco 2

It blows my mind that you have to have the state check your car. In the US, you can drive a car in pretty much any condition. You just can't have a check engine light when you get emissions testing done every three years or so. Also, a cop will pull you over if they think the car is unsafe, for example missing lights, dragging parts, or driving on the highway with a flat. But I've seen cars driven without panels, a hood, windows, and doors! The idea of the state hiring a mechanic to inspect you car would been seen as a HUGE waste of money here.

Absolutely amazed by your videos on the channel👌. Though as a German and an engineer perhaps a torque wrench would help for those bearings (by datasheets) 😎

6 months?

"I can't believe it's been a whole year since I didn't sweep up leaves last year." ;D

note to past self: watch further! DOH...sorry Layman thinking out loud; the lock washer is indexed to the stub axle. Why not set your end float and bend the washer in to lock the inner nut, apply the outer nut and bend another area of the washer out to lock that nut? Would that cause a problem elsewhere? i see you did this but before you "torque" the outer nut.

Yours are the best videos anywhere. Please don't stop posting them,

27:40 "...another six months." WOF inspection every SIX MONTHS ?? OMG, our jurisdiction went from annual (yearly) to biannual (two years). Other jurisdictions are only with each sale/purchase.

Absolutely love your videos

Great work and you passed the test, the test must be cheap in NZ we have a once a year check in Ireland it's €55 which is close to $100 NZ (I think?)

Personally I find the box spanner for the hub nuts far superior to the (52MM?) socket- reason being front half shafts. Also I have one of them tyre levers and its brilliant for a plethora of jobs on a land rover just not removing the tyres :)
