I have the black 2022, 3 door version. 2:31 You got spotlights are on a nudge bar, not a bull bar as the Australian bullbars are illegal in the EU. By the looks of the lights they are probably H2 of H3 with a very long and fairly wide range. I think removing the was a mistake. However, nowadays there are quite e few interesting LED options. Here’s a video of the performance of my extra lights. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYDFmoupfN2hbcUsi=9Jj4fj7e0-t77zmm

Probably too late to say it but you don’t need to touch any of the lights on the front to remove the wings there is a big connector at the bulkhead on each side controlling power to the lights.

Hello Guys, -and Ladies, best regards from Germany. Also here in Germany we bought al lot of your British Trash, in what we put all our money and, really, all our heart!!! I Think, it's the last possibillity to drive smooth and comfortable everyday and everyway on all roads and in landscape.. but sometimes there ist also "the wobble of death" working.... In 80 % of those damages it's the balance of the tires or the rims.. mostly the rims!! (Is it not possible on the island to build rims completely round and balanced?). So it's often possible to get the wobble finished like you did it: Change the rear wheels to the front axle... But that's is a coincidence, when it works. My idea is - I think - a better solution , to fill the tires (all 4) with balancer-pearls, in every tire about 140 grams, when the tires are about 235 x 16. Those pearls of glas work very well inside my tires. From that moment, I filled them into the tires, the car runs well and calme....,the wobble was history. The other 20 % mostly is the panhard.... I've used the pearls of "Couteract magnum +" ,not so expensiv, in Germany incl. shipping 25 Euros. You can also choose to a powder, like sand, but this can affect the air valves. The Pearls are neutral. And after riding in muddy fields, then on the road, the balance - pearls also work well and exactly with the dirty tire !!!! I hope, you or the guys in your community have the same successful experience as me. Best wishes, stay healthy Peter

Hello. Greetings from Paris ! I own a defender 90 Td5 as a second car. Never been able to high rev it and up shift quickly like a Golf or a sport car. The gearbox doesn’t like it and blocks or grind the agressive up shift. Especially 1 to 2d, 2 to 3d. If I up shift slowly on low revs, everything is smooth. Gearbox oil is MTF94. How in the video the up shift is so quick on high rpm ? Many thx for your feedbacks. Merci ! Julien

Came back to say thanks for the video, I don't know how you guys did it in 1-2 days, it took me four months trying to figure out how to mate the new engine to the autobox without destroying the oil pump. I ended up taking the gearbox off, and trying to fit that on the engine instead, seemed to work. The car did start on the first crank, in like 2-3 seconds! I thought those are mechanic stories.

I think at this point Nisse knows the Td5 like the back of his hand, and he did a lot of prep work plus an all-nighter in between so I'm sure there's some stuff off camera you didn't see that made it a smoother process 😄 Still not an easy thing to do though, especially if you were working solo!

You laugh at our rusty Land Rovers, but if a Landy was as new as the Jimny, and the rear light weren't secured properly, the rust would have made it so those nuts would never have undone. It's not a fault, it's a "Feature". It is dinky, and if wasn't so much of a lump, I would absolutely have a Jimny, but it wouldn't end up being the tarts handbag that yours is morphing into! I'm not jealous.... much.

I have replaced three chassis myself, all have been painted and the last one was the best. I used a 2 part epoxy mastic on the first which was good but painted the last one with corroless paint system finished in Alkyd RF16 Glass Flake reinforced topcoat which is used in bridges and pipework in offshore environments. Finnish looks great, it’s easy to apply and is very durable & resistant to chipping.

Why are you bothered about painting a galvanised chassis? One of the pros of having one is keeping it silver so everyone can see you've got a galvanised chassis.
@larskristensen5831
@larskristensen5831 3 ай бұрын
It makes perfect sense to paint the chassis: The original chassis was steel painted black. So when you want to get the car approved to come back on the road, it has to look original. If the guy who approves the car can see that you have substituted the chassis, then you will have changed the car's identity, Which results in you having to pay a new "registration tax" on the car, which in Denmark can be thousands of punds, depending on the age of the car. If the chassis is black it is easier for the guy who approves the car to say: "I couldn't see that the chassis was new!", so maybe you are lucky enough to escape the identity tax. Fingers crossed.

@@steenjinks7359 I don't know in which country you are based, but in Denmark the Transport authorities have the idea that the steel in a chassis will be weakened by the heating of the galvanization process. And this means that it is not legal to replace a steel chassis with a galv. chassis. Unless you have documention that proves that your chassis is built by an authorized company, and Richard Chassis can provide this documentation if you ask for it.

Hello and thanx for the great videos you produce. I'll just give you a comment on Danish! Jeg håber du har være i kontakt med din synsmand inden du gik i gang med dette projekt, da det kræver en genindhugningsattest at skifte bundramme. Hvis ikke du har clearet hele processen med din synsmand, så risikere du at skulle betale ny registreringsafgift, da bilen skifter identitet! De skridt som jeg skulle igennem var: Fremvise gammel ramme til syn, køre den til skrot, fremvise skrotningsdokumentation hos synsmand, så laver han en genindhugningsattest til dig. Hvis du så har et godt forhold til din synsmand, så siger han: "Fedt at du får en mere sikker bil tilbage på de danske veje", hvis jeres forhold er knap så godt, så sender han sagen videre til Skat. Så kan du vente dig en regning for identitetsskift. Pyha, det var en smøre 🙂, men du må snakke med synshallen! Lars

Lay an old bed sheet or a painter’s dust sheet out under the area your working on, if you continue on that shingle - those stones will swallow all the small parts you drop, some valuable or hard to source, where a sheet will catch them and make them obvious. The workshop manual, or even the Haynes Book of Lies will show where all the fixings for each panel, which will allow you to plan each step and triple your speed.
