What are D-rings for?

Good description but it would be really helpful for you to explain a few more things: how to get the front wheel off? Where to jack it etc. How to clean wet grass off the deck? As a ride-on mower newbie this would help a lot.

Love your vids and series. What oils do you use the engine, duffs, gearbox, transfer box, steering box and swivels ?.. thank you in advance for the info..

Lovely combination I’m just about to start restoring a similar trailer except I can remove the top 2/3rds of my one to turn it into a general purpose trailer , I would love to know the colour options in the 50s for these trailers

hi nice video, please say if the cutting deck is plastic or steel, you referred to rust, is this on steel deck...regards bryan

Just got 2 of these any value to them?

I am from India,my father and grandfather were driver on steam locomotive, Now it is very difficult to show this kind of steam engine to my son and grand son,keep it up🎉🎉

A little cheeky, can you see under front axel the belt number for the cutting deck? Mines failed says AA95 however the replacements that have arrived are quite a bit smaller. It looks like the cobras belt is quite a bit thicker even though it states AA95. Appreciate any help :)

I don't want to be rude because you don't deserve and you are good to working man obvious and otherwise is a nice review of this product but you see I look at the title of your video and because I tried to design myself between dream Dremel and other similar devices I was hoping from your title that you will make a compilation between this competitors. I mean it in the title. in that sense it was not very useful. so if you can please do another video where you speak about the differences advantages of both. thank you and have a good day!

Real buyers guide. 1. Dont buy one with rubber bumpers. 2. Go look with someone who has owned and driven them for years. 3. Dont buy one loaded with "bling" (chrome this, chrome that, boot rack, walnut dash, extra pointless guages, non factory steering wheels, roll bars, wing mirrors etc). Before you pay walk away and think of all the other things you could do with the asking price and as much again keeping it on the road for the next 10 years. Good luck ! ( a long time mgb driver)

Thanks for the tips me and dad are working on our series 3 109 Santana it passed the goverment check and where restoring it perfectly

Its been a while since i have been in the land rover world and ive recently been offered a 2A diesel. My first thought was to refuse as ive always felt they were too slow and not much more economical than the petrol. What would you say is your comfortable cruising speed and fuel consumption?

Good job. Thanks for the video 👏

i think it needs 36mm diameter rope, not 100% sure tho

I also ordered a replacement led package off the Internet as you recommended (eBay) and none of them fit.

you can you show us how you replaced the dashboard bulbs with LED bulbs? I have tried on my 72 series 3 and it’s not as easy as you make it sound. No one has done a KZfaq video on this either! Thanks

make it 4wd

Mine was a rag top 1973 brand new imported from the UK SWB brought it from Fauls yes I had a faily OD worked a treat

Nice Landy. You do realise that there’s no accelerator pump? So pumping the pedal doesn’t achieve anything, that only works with a petrol engine (with a carburetor).

beautiful land rover

Hi is it enamel paint or something for wood, also did use a wood primer , not sure you mentioned that. Thanks.

I could make the joke that the first step to using them would be to buy metric ones, but still, an interesting video.

I’m looking at a regular mgb as a potential daily driver. I’m 17 and own a Fiero and 63’ Oldsmobile 98. I drive 20~ miles on the highway to school everyday during the school year. I’d split the mileage between all three cars, but I’ve heard a mix of things about the daily drivability of MGBs. I’m 6’3 too, but if I had to, I know you can swap seats to from a miata.

Excellent video and very timely. I also have an old Land Rover(Series 3 88" SW, since 1989) and both collect and appreciate old British made measuring tools. At present I run a JLR dealership in Canada and this past week I had an apprentice approach me with a couple micrometers that were just passed on to him from his grandfather in the UK. I started to show him how to use them but then suggested he find a good video on KZfaq to learn properly and I will be forwarding him this one. Cheers!

Alternator doesn’t charge at idle for a lot of older vehicles. It doesn’t matter because it’s a mechanical diesel - even down to the fuel stop, which is electric even on cars from the early 80s. You could have a completely dead battery and keep driving but it could get worrying at night!

im guessing the rego comes off....?

Hi ,just found your channel. I have just started building one for my grandsons . Very helpful so far, although I am about two episodes behind . But helps me prepare for what's coming cheers. Malc

Salut. Your accent would (to me) suggest you have lived away from Northern Ireland for a number of years, however your origins sound very clear to me. At age 70 and having left Ulster back in 1972 apparently I also retain my accent. I still have to point out any new French acquaintances that je suis Irlandais pas Anglais which always causes them to express how désolé they are to have insulted me! The accent may soften but is seldom lost …… and that is never a problem! Cordialement RB

A thick felt mat loosely attached to the bonnet as large as possible, absorbs a lot of top end rattle. Foam glued underneath bonnet is rubbish. Double shag pile carpet is what you want. And I found a good transmission tunnel cover and thick mats in the footwells grab a fair bit of noise too. You have the latter but it may get darker but I sound deadened the underside of my roof and some of the sides and put foam soundproofing on as well. I’ve painted it grey so it doesn’t look very obvious, but the condensation is dramatically reduced and the echo box has the edge taken off it. 200 tdi in mine, also not a quiet engine, and it’s quite reasonable at 50/55 volume wise.

You renewed my appreciation.

If the paint is in good condition, but one wanted to paint it a different tone but similar color,, could someone simply add coats of paint instead of priming then painting?

Your MGB GT looks very good. I recently bought a 1971 model and thought it was fine! Famous last words, it was all over the road and gave me a fright! The front suspension bushes were completely shot, I don't know when it last saw a grease gun! It has been fitted with a telescopic front and rear conversion, but the bushes were badly worn. I have completely stripped the front suspension, and the crossmember is getting powder coated. So far, it's been a money pit!

What tyer size are you running? Im trying to find some radials thatll fit the rims and are correct height for the 88” speedo 😂

Not trying to slag you off or anything, the opposite, but if I have any experience with farmers in NI, that’s gotta be 145k! Very cool how it’s not been opened though. Very tidy truck 👍

Nice! Is this something you are building? My wife and I volunteer at Railtown 1897, in Jamestown, Ca.. I have actually worked on the locomotive used in Back to the Future 3. High Noon, Bonanza, Gun Smoke and over a hundred other westerns. It is a 1892 Rodgers 4 6 0. It currently is being put back together after getting all new boiler tubes. This model look pretty cool. Cheers👍

I've got a Mk1 Mini and space in the garage for another classic and have wanted a Series Landrover for sometime, plan to buy myself one as a retirement present. Would you recommend the 2 1/4 diesel or would I be better going for a petrol, I'm guessing they're maybe not massively different in performance or economy?

The new catch phrase “In a Land Rover, you’ll get there. Eventually.” Good vid, thanks!

Love it! They are certainly a conversation starter. Especially here in the rural California central valley. They are not presumptuous, so people are not afraid to come up and ask about it. Take one to a hardware store, auto parts store or gas station on a Saturday morning and you’ll make new friends. 👍I Garrandamtee it!👍

Very nice series 3 and a very nice video. Thank you! I'm glad you also mentioned the fun just having one of these. I did a complete rebuild of a 1978 swb about twelve years ago and I remember all the parts being cheap then. Bought a galvanised chassis with the papers you need and started working. As I got many parts from a friend from England, the biggest problem for me was to find the parts necessary for LHD. These parts in the end came from al over Europe. Also mounted a capstan winch, overdrive, free wheeling hubs. Very satisfying to do. Tax free in the Netherlands as well and insurance is €5,00 a month. Still needs MOT (APK) here until it's 50 ears old, but passed "met vlag en wimpel" (without any advisory or whatever problem) again a month ago. Now mainly used for hauling fire wood and the odd job. Drive it with a smile!

A very much well done rebuilding it ,thanks for the video

I've rebuilt three series landrovers, one of the most important things in my landrover toolbox was WD40 for all those rusted nuts bolts and screws 😂

Do they actually shrink if left out in the rain? Lol

I have the Fairy as well. Everything works as it should but at speeds above 45 either the main gearbox or the overdrive really whine. High 4th gear with OD in or out.🤷🏼‍♂️ I believe some OD bearings are still in use even when not in OD, but don’t know for sure. Earplugs are a must for even short trips. Thoughts?!

I have a 1966 S2A 88” in the same color. They just ooozze character. The simplicity is a major attraction. Nothing that doesn’t absolutely need to be there. Very cool about your family connection to the Landy. I’ll have to check out the restoration videos.👍

I bought a 67 B. Redid the interior and top and then burned up the generator. Later on rebuilt the motor and transmission, after that just drove it and enjoyed it.

Never heard of those mixing bottles but I'm going to get one a try that way you don't have to mix up a whole gallon when you only need a tank full

Take care with those mixing bottles - they expand in time and make % of 2t oil too high. Better to use a syringe to get right % of oil per litre of oil. A decent fully synth oil will be better and for storage, think about using a decent fuel stabiliser as well (stabil is a good one). If you have slighty deeper pockets, garden centres will have ethanol free fuel (aspens and stihl make it). Thanks and hth's 👍🏻

Wow! I’ve just watched your painting and galvanising the landrover vdieo, and subscribed. I’ve also got a Morris minor and a landrover on the way. The Morris has been in the family from new, like your landrover. The landrover is my dads which he called today can have as he’s getting on a bit and barely uses it. It’s a 1966 S2a which I’m looking to paint 😂the Morris is being sold to make room.

Great video, Ive had a series 3 now for about 3/4 years. It ended up needing more work than expected when purchasing but like you say, they are nice and simple to work on. I keep toying with selling but have never been able to bring myself to list it for sale. The main reason being regretting getting rid of it in the future.

Is there a rubber plug for the hole in the drum ? Cheers
