Amazing work matey!!

Hi Dale. Great job! Did Brit part answer to you? I got the same problem at the end! 😞

this is such a great vlog. totally genuine. Loved the "found it" with the wiring.

I’ve been going to Gumtree’s since 1986. Don’t recommend wheel spacers though.

You can adjust the bonnet spike so it holds the bonnet down exactly where you want it,no bounce at all. Have a look it's got flats on it and can be turned. May not have been moved for fifty years though

I was laughing..knew you were going to complain throughout. Thank you for guiding me, planning to get my defender soon

It's not an oil leak, it's sweating power!!

Glad you didn’t pay anything! It’s already been bought, paid for, taxed, taxed on fuel, taxed on parts etc, etc…….

Amazing Land Rover

The company branding has gone way out of control. Would LOVE a full set of Optimil door hinges, but they’re pretty pricey. Also don’t want it to say “Optimil” in 8 different places on the vehicle 🤦‍♂️

Looks really good man! Hand prints and all lol 👌

Another great video, Dale! Any squeaks or rattles (well, that you can hear over everything else) now you have it fitted with the wheel on?

i had no idea they cost that much :O . luckily my 90 came with a carrier already fitted and from what I'm seeing here it looks pretty similar to this brit-art one there's no branding etc and its been on there well iv owned the 90 since 2015 and its never been an issue.

Beautiful post. My dream is to have an online UK job, paying in pounds while leaving in SA 😊😊. UK knocked me out, but missing the pound 😅😅.

Loose that ZA sticker as well, it's for us boertjies. So, they removed some rust here in RSA? and your spare wheel carrier 🤔😏🙄🤔

06:00 Erm... why didn't you open the side window and reach through? 🤣

That looks great! The instructions on most of these carriers leave a lot to be desired, it is only after you have fitted them you find how it should have been attached, I found the worst part was lifting the wheel into place once you have fitted the carrier, but it does take the weight off the door, like most powder coated things they do go very dull after a while in the sun, not sure powder coating is the best finish for use outside, I sprayed mine (a Mantec) with satin aerosol. Stay safe! Chris B.

Hey fella good job struggling through with it. I had a Brit part one on my old 90 high was fine. I felt like the nut were either side of the bracket but that would need a nylock nut. I think it meant that it would stop putting inward pressure on the door but I don’t know how important that is.

You need to get rid of the locking wheel nuts, the key just snaps

I got the BA132 swing away carrier from Craddock and fitted it today. It looks almost identical to this one, and was only £100, so I was either getting a bargain or absolute junk……. Sadly it was the latter! It came with no instructions, missing hardware from the fitting kit, and the nuts for holding the wheel on were the wrong thread pitch. The fit itself was terrible, needing quite a bit of filing, re drilling and bending of bracketry to make it fit …ish. What should have taken an hour or two ended up taking most of the day, and after all that it looks crap, and doesn’t sit parallel with the door. So for those considering this option….don’t! 😢

Brilliant video mate, I totally agree with you, I got the same carrier as you in the end a few months ago and works fine 👍

Hi Dale I have the same Brit part carrier. in 4 to 5 years the powder coating will degrade. The tubing will start to rust. I’m going to go ORE when I replace it later this year.

I’ve so far not any issues with britpart parts.

Good video, I like your humour😂

Class video once again mate 👍

Sth Africa gets in your blood

I’m English working class and lived in Somerset West 40 miles out of Cape Town for 5 years. I loved it and still do. I often wondered why downtrodden British people don’t move there. I moved there with 90,000 pounds and bought a house on a quarter acre block with sea and mountain views for 35,000 pounds in a beautiful area and put the rest in the bank and was able to live off the interest., which was 18% at the time. The 90,000 pounds was enough to get me residency there, I don’t know what the situation is now that was in 1991. Maybe the black govt isn’t accepting whites.

Please dont kill me 😂

Nice vid mate. Taught me quite being 16 without my first car yet lol. Spark my interest for landys even more.

Not going to make beer in that bucket again! Thx for vid. Have cracked coolant tank as well. I will know if there is head gasket damage tomorrow. 🤞

Great videos Dale !

looks ace!! i have to admit i did my wheels with a really thick almost tar like black paint and brush :O i didn't do half as much sanding prep as you here AND i used playing cards! hahaha safe to say they aren't the best but as its more of an off-road play toy they are mostly covered in mud :) and my chassis sadly just isn't worth looking at i thought id get away with welding here and there but looking at it the other day i really do think its a new chassis but i just can't do that it would have to go to my local guy so its a huge expense but i guess once its done it should outlast me so there is that :I great video thank you

The only negative that I really have about South Africa is the currency devaluation making things really expensive and the crime. if we can just solve that...

Hi Dale, just discovered your channel. You mentioned photography, where do you post about that?

Wheel spacers wreck your wheel bearings!!!

If you go back to stock I’ll buy it off you!😎

Nice video Dale. I like your honesty about your skills and humour. Very interesting video. 😎.

Personally I think these changes bullshit.-STRONZATE..if you adjustment engineTappet give an extra gear without touching anything of the power supply ( the defender tdi 300 was voluntarily depowered by the Land Rover because the transter gearbox lt230 was 1:40 and not 1:20)....

Love this man. I have a 300tdi 130 truck and just added an Alu Cab on it, and boy is she struggling with all the added weight. Looking at ways to increase power so I’m thinking of this and some other things like performance intercooler. Great vid and thanks! Cheers from Texas USA!

I am becoming more and more interested with chickens. I would love to eventually have a farm and raise more birds. I have a small backyard flock currently but they're all 11 weeks old

Walking to table mountain on walking path see security their as well tourist have been attacked.

Get use to the whether in UK. South Africa has high vilonce crimes , murders is up in South Africa banana Republic. Vat going up soon to 21 percent in South Africa. High unemployment rate in South Africa. Chin has flooded South Africa with their goods.

Have you considered using Workaway volunteers?

How much they charge u for patching up? I need welding, i knew abt gumtree, just never really thoight thryd do weldin

Well done , my “mechanic” friend always breaks the old screen so I keep a spare under the bed

lol.......If you can afford a Land Rover, then get the right equipment. A quality spray gun with application wands and a good air compressor. I have to laugh at the large amount of money people will spend on vehicles and then buy cheap unless crap to protect them in the North East rust belt..

I lived in London for six years, many years back... The first two years was like "a magical mystical toor". The Art the music it was all good but i was dying inside. Been back in S.A 20ish years, a business owner earning Rands and a single mom. Things is not harder just much slower and slower means more time with my boy. African time is a real thing... The pace took a whole while to get use too and the stairing we all look each other in the eye, in our day to day passing. In London i did the eye looking out of habit thing and some chavs sitting on a wall, got rowdy asking " you looking at me like you know me" hahaha i know your mother. Nice channel... this was such a flashback, thank you. O yes, I was born and bred in Mpumalanga

I am British and my wife is French. We are international school teachers and i have some family in Johannesburg and we have South African friends/colleagues. After visiting them a few times, we decided to buy a beautiful retirement/holiday house in South Africa. We absolutely love South Africa and our aim is to retire there when we finish our teaching career.

Hardly anything to compare. It's way better in SA. It's awful here, it's scary there. BUT 👀 To compare quality of homes doesn't compare, most aren't built well, they fabricated and mostly ugly. The lifestyle, the people, the food, the life style is magnificent. The greatest shame is COST, you pay and pay and pay. In fact it's all about money that's the burden in Britain.

The comments under this video got me. I am a Jamaican who lives in Jamaica and is searching for somewhere to vacation for a month in the next 12 months. South Africa and Namibia are at the top of my list as I enjoy photography when am not working. YT algorithms pushed me this video and the comments are out of this world. The same minuses about SA exist for JAM, and to a large extent, the same pluses. Everyone who can afford to want to vacation in Jamaica but many are also afraid of the crime while the locals who are not highly skilled or with money leave to the US, UK if they can get a visa. Mankind will continue to be migratory and constantly in search of what they believe is best for themselves or family. In the meanwhile, there needs to be a space to enjoy some of what life has to offer if you can afford to or choose to afford to. I will one day visit SA to soak up the amazing culture, geography, and of course visit some of the rough places where visitors avoid. Keep the comments coming!
