1987 Defender? My Land Rover OCD has been triggered….

[@ViDiaz]

I usually tell my friends "If the g'box doesn't leak, there is a problem!"

[@overnighter]

09:00 "Yeah! Putting your oil in is a really really good idea" 🤣🤣🤣

[@BritannicaRestorations]

lol!

[@Tailhook69]

Another great video; thanks, Mike.

[@BritannicaRestorations]

Glad you like it!

[@bigperm2476]

Asif he brought that all the way from Canada amazing

[@axelcordes]

Omg... your humour is gorgeous - you constantly put a smile on my face :-) and then the oil not coming out ... Poor little nice Defender... finally she made it to you and will recover soon :-) Cheers Axel

[@BritannicaRestorations]

Hi Axel! I found the mainshaft of the gearbox was finished once I got the transfer out -so I pulled the gearbox off and stripped it -the reverse gears are all chipped and broken!

[@TheSlimedshady]

Another great video. Keep up the the good work. All the best from Bromsgrove 🇬🇧

Thanks! Mike

Wait what

[@robertcruickshank5617]

Why we all thought that 90 was squealing with delight, knowing and making it to your place

[@BritannicaRestorations]

Lol!

[@harveysmith100]

Thanks Mike, I have changed all the fluids on my 4x4 since I have owned it except the transfer case, one of those jobs you know you should do. I will have to do it after this video!

[@BritannicaRestorations]

I think people put this off as the filler is in a bad place

[@harveysmith100]

@@BritannicaRestorations Spot on Mike, that is exactly why!

[@gomaman2449]

The oil is not the problem, there is none in it :-)

[@rvrnnr987]

The only time I've ever had a problem with the LT230 is when I bought a Disco I, and when I checked all the oil bits, I skipped the transfer case because I could see that it had very recently had the cover off, been cleaned, and had a new seal closing it all up. I should have checked.... Because when they put it all back together, they did clean and replace the seals, but neglected to put new oil in. I drove it for about 500 miles before it started locking up at speed! Violent jerking, bad noise, then OK, then violent buck, then OK..... Ripped the thing apart.

[@nickboylen6873]

300 Tdi Defenders had the thin hubs and flanges too. I'm pretty sure 90s had the same axles as Discoverys of that age, and 110s the same front axle (save for bigger brakes).

[@BritannicaRestorations]

There are a lot of D1's over here that get robbed - hardly any 300 Tdi at all, but they are now a dying breed

[@PyreneanExplorers]

Nice job on the fabrication to whip transfer boxes out, Mike. Bet there's little to none or dodgy oil in everything else too. Cheers Wayne

[@BritannicaRestorations]

The gearbox output spline is shot too! Forgot to mention that!

[@PyreneanExplorers]

@@BritannicaRestorations Probably easier just to swap the lot if you have a good'u. 300 will pull the disco ratios...Hang on, think I'm telling you how to suck eggs here :-) :-) Crikey Mike what time do you get up....:-) Cheers Wayne

I tell you - not the snow has gone and jobs come rolling in I am up at 4.30 to get through the day!

[@leehowdle5051]

Classic BATUS Banger

[@moose88110]

HA! Saw this 90 on a trailer heading east on the 401 Saturday afternoon somewhere between Kingston and Brockville around 2:30. Wondered who's it was and where is was going. And now I know. My 110 looked like that when it came out of Suffield too.

[@BritannicaRestorations]

They all come here eventually!

[@greenbike9475]

Hello mate, I changed all my 300tdi Bushes and shocks and now the car pulls to the right when I brake... I may need a alignment... Will you make videos about the suspension fro. A to Z. Will watch them all

[@BritannicaRestorations]

Coming soon - but it it pulls to the left there is a problem with the right hand brake

[@greenbike9475]

@@BritannicaRestorations Bonjour From Europe and Brexit ... I sorted out the pull to the right when braking... was from the wheel alingment and from the rear axel allingment. Now drives and brakes straight. Thanks for your videos. You have only likes 👍🏻

Thanks!

@@BritannicaRestorations dziękuję. 😀

[@FPVsean]

That reminds me I've a 1.2 ratio disco tbox sitting around I've to put in the 110.. Anyone much experience with the before/after from 1.4 to 1.2 tbox in a 300tdi?? I'm sure it's slower to get through gears but I've a modified tdi and I'm sure the block came off a disco automatic so it could have more horses from factory too

[@BritannicaRestorations]

Bit of a tricky one The 1:2 transfer is good in a 300Tdi 90 and Td5 90/110, but personally I think they are a bit too high for a 300Tdi 110 with a load on Depends what you want to do with it- speed, power, economy? Mike

[@FPVsean]

@@BritannicaRestorations just forward speed for cruising that's all Mike! Won't be doing any towing or working, it's just going to be used for camping trips anywhere and everywhere, it'll be a road queen not a mudplugger!

[@davidyeates5525]

@@BritannicaRestorations I think you are spot on Mike. I have a 1.2 in my 300tdi 110 (no engine mods), big benefit is the general economy and motorway use, but day to day it can make it feel sluggish getting up through the gears especially when loaded up. Maybe ok if using boost pins or tweaked pump etc. But if or when the time comes I fancy changing it back. I have a standard 90 td5 to compare, the 300tdi is a 200k+ tired old thing but just doesn't have the guts that the td5 has.

[@topsecret4x4]

strange one!!!!

[@randomoldbloke]

The steering wheel is on the wrong side , that is the problem? Cheers from Australia the land were D1s outperform toymotors in every respect 300tdi of course

[@BritannicaRestorations]

It's such a shame the D1's rotted out here and we never got the Tdi's

[@randomoldbloke]

No problem with rot here , not a speck of rust in mine except for where some paint has been blasted off the chassis from dirt roads and it is just surface rust , no overheating even in 45c plus temperatures working hard . Had to do the head at 260k still has all the crosshatching on the bore and no measurable wear plus get better than 10l/100k 16 in low range . Have had a lot of land rovers over the years and the 300tdi has to be the best of them especially for remote travel. No electric gremlins unlike the td5 and later . You have just got a sub from me in FNQ Australia were winter lasts 3 weeks

[@peterkane9822]

Had the 110 in for regreasing as new front prop fitted 2 months ago so i had all nipples done everywhere and all oils changed along with oil filter ready for wax oil in summer but i am going to try Bilt hamber this time as its getting good reviews have you any thoughts on different makes of under body protection other than wax oil

[@darland3821]

Peter I've used Bilt Hamber it's excellent stuff especially for home use. The cavity wax comes with a long lance nozzle.
