2014 Model Replaced by 1981 Model

linktr.ee/kasperhoglund
A quick update from this end! Since the the LR4 is up for sale I can't really travel or do much far away from the garage I have it stored in case of a sell/showing happening. But been using the Series 3 as my daily going back and forth between jobs, small trips and other day to day tasks.
As much as I do love the LR4, the simplicity of the new platform is really refreshing. Mechanically there is some small, and one big thing to address with the S3. But apart from that it's behaving very nicely.
Once the Discovery is sold, I'm heading back on the road and will be able to once again create much more frequently! As of now, I'm stuck with the bills for two cars and kinda limited because of that.
Thanks for watching,
K

[@pedroc7925]

Wise choice, sir! The simplier the better!

[@kasperhoglund]

Cheers! Especially with full time travel where more parts means more headaches

[@Jimmiehammarstrom47]

I think you going to nail this build, after seeing what you did to your 2014 model! One step at the time!

[@kasperhoglund]

Thanks! This has its charm even stock, so almost anything will look cool with this 😎👍

[@triscorb3155]

When you get your hands on them, you always manage to multiply the beauty of these cars through your own aesthetic goals. Im happy that I’ll be here to watch the process as it happens!

Your last rig was pretty cool, but i can't wait to see where this one goes! Love it already.

[@kasperhoglund]

Thanks! Something really special about these tin cans 🙏

[@TantersD3]

This is going to be an exciting watch! Sad to see you separate from the D4. You did an amazing job with that too. New owner will be very lucky to have her

[@kasperhoglund]

Thanks! Really refreshing swap of cars for me as well 😎🤝

[@tukocan]

A new canvas, it's like starting all over again with the 109. Imagine a pop-up roof so that you can have some comfort inside. I'm excited to see what you do, gonna be a fun adventure.

[@kasperhoglund]

I 100% plan on building a pop top that use the original roof at some point! A dream I’ve had since I started modifications on the discovery but realized I couldn’t really do much legally with that. Finally a brick by brick design to play with!

[@spincla]

Excellent work Kasper! Now I want one even more!

[@kasperhoglund]

Haha, I'm so in love with the simplicity

[@adamtoepfer131]

I really get this. I just sold a 2006 GX470(Prado) and bought a 1994 Land Cruiser 80. While not as old or basic as this it doesn't have airbags, or ABS or backup camera or any of the amenities that the other vehicle had. But I'm refreshed by it and building it the way I want. Sometimes I do wish I had bought an older 60 series Land Cruiser which is more similar to the experience with this Land Rover, but I think in the end I'll be happy with the 80. Especially after I finish fixing mechanical issues. I've still got an injector with some issues, and I've already put way more in the engish money wise than I wanted. And I need to sort suspension. But other that than I think it's a vehicle that is ready to go just about anywhere.

[@kasperhoglund]

The simplicity makes it a really unique experience! Not any luxury rig, but I don’t really NEED that 🤝

[@Thorsten89342]

It’s a beautiful old Landrover for sure, and I know you will make it even better. I’m really interested in how you are going to do the internal build and make it winterproof, and warm and comfortable enough to cope with winter in Norway! I was driving an old canvas top Landrover similar to this in Andalsnes in the winter of 1990 with the marines and we had to lag the roof with blankets and a roll of felt to keep any warmth in at all 🤣

[@kasperhoglund]

Haha yeah I definitely have a job to do to cope with the winters!😂

[@andreacucchi3295]

Hi Kasper, it’s been a while since I’ve started watching your videos. I’m very impressed by your life choice and i like the way you descrive your stories. You have some good mechanical skills and your cars seem always clean despite the roads you run across. Congrats and good luck with the old Defender!!

[@kasperhoglund]

Thanks for that!🤝

[@RickMunday]

You made the right choice. That '81 is just a beautiful piece of machinery.

[@tonystrange7224]

Sad to see the disco go, but really looking forward to this new build. And I guess when out in the middle of nowhere simple is better should repairs be necessary. This said I like how you’ve mixed new tech, the lights with the old LR.

[@kasperhoglund]

Thanks man! Yeah it’s a bit of a pitty to let if go after almost five years. But it’s really good to have an actual change of pace both for my mind but also the sake of the creative process building and traveling with something new. Also way more playroom with what I can legally modify on a 42 year old car vs a 9 year old EU6 spec unit full of safety regulations and restrictions

[@markfarr2514]

Haha thanks buddy 😮‍💨👍 so nice having a little petrol engine again after 5 years in the diesel whip! I don’t fancy the fuel price though 💸

[@free2chasehappy]

I can't wait to see what you will be doing with your new ride! I have to say your Discovery 4 is already one of the best looking ones I've seen! Like you said, simplicity in many situations is better. Which is why I chose the LR3 over the LR4!

[@kasperhoglund]

Cheers! Yeah sad to leave it once I finally felt the disco was “finished”. But I do enjoy the process of building just as much as the travel part. So was about time after almost five years with the disco 🤝

[@kasperhoglund]

[@twentysevenlitres]

BTW "Sealed for life" is a Manufacturer misnomer. The transmission with its original fluid will outlast the warranty period without service, and therefore does not have a scheduled service interval as per manufacturer. Frankly, its a load of BS and results in the early death of a lot of transmissions. ZF, the manufacturer of the transmission in the Disco 4, have their own recommended service schedule of 80,000km

[@thesandero2454]

This type of light fittings is typical for UK ex MOD Land Rovers. Combined with the fact it is Petrol and LHD i'm almost certain it was an Ex Rhine vehicle AKA a car stationed in Germany. I've seen these multiple times at our shop and worked on them. The Dutch ex Army LRs are very different and all Diesel powered. 2.25 petrol is the best engine and will run forever. Have a look at an electronic ignition,not a cheap conversion set since the original distributers suck. Have a look at 123 Ignition Systems. We fitted them at my work numerous times and their fantastic with great support. No cheap made crap. Best money spend. Have fun with the 109"

[@kasperhoglund]

Cheers! Might have gotten some wrong info from previous owners. It did at least come from NL to Norway back in 2014. And served in the Balkan war for NATO. Also been trough some rounds of part swaps. The engine in this is a 2.25 from a Norwegian ex mill that served here. And has sadly a crack in the block due to getting stored over a cold winter with bad coolant a few years back. First plan was to swap it for something.. but I’m really starting to like it (if I don’t mind the fuel bill!) So current thought is to keep this running for a while, and look for a similar replacement. And spend some money on ignition on that 👍

[@thesandero2454]

There is a fair chance it did came from The Netherlands since a lot of these ex UK demobbed Land Rovers ended up here. Being LHD was a big part in that. I've seen it myself because i'm Dutch and working on LRs here for over 20 years. The fuel consumption is horrible,yeah. Almost as bad as the 3.5 V8 Stage One 109. Overhere people put 200 and some 300 TDIs in them. Thing it to keep the weight of your build as low as possible since that is what causing the biggest problems. That said,a good 2.25 petrol that it properly serviced and tuned runs like clock work. These engines are pretty much bulletproof,unlike the Diesel 2.25. That's horrible.😅 If you keep this engine,go for a 123 ignition. It's a Dutch company specialised in this.

[@thomasheart1337]

I'm not sure if i could have made the same choice and have given up the comfort, but it sure as hell is brave! I pray for your back with that seas on the long run tho xD Must be said that i absolutely love the colour, hope it servers you well friend!

This is gonna be very nice build. :D Just a question, you do need headlights washer if you have led lights?

[@heinzketchup4558]

Afaik in europe, as long as the LED bulbs fullfill a certain requirement regarding light diffusion, spread and brightness, they aren‘t required to have an active washer. My Mazda 6s LED/Xenon adaptive Headlights don‘t feature a washer unit either, MY2017.

[@kasperhoglund]

If they have a specific E mark they (should) be ok. But can sometimes meet the wrong guy at the two year inspection. With xenon bulbs for example it’s mandatory to have washers and leveling rods.

[@erhardt1477]

Others already mentioned it, costs and simplicity… The lightbulb is the perfect example… Any car made in the last twenty years made it more and more impossible to do anything yourself, on purpose. The Industrie wants to make money with selling the car AND the upkeep… What one gives up, in exchange is a little comfort and maybe speed and THAT is a price I’m willing to pay. Besides… Here in Germany 🇩🇪 I had the good fortune to buy a 110 HT model that was already registered as a camper, wich keeps costs DOWN… I could load up to ONE TON into the vehicle AND/OR could pull 3,5 Tons… Cranking the windows myself and not goin 180 km/h on the Autobahn, was/is a good trade 😂

[@kasperhoglund]

After driving a Defender with a top speed og 95 due to a bad turbo actuator from Norway to Croatia last winter.. I realized I’m perfectly fine taking it slow 😂👍 A different way of traveling, but like you said.. the simplicity makes it so much worth it for what I do!

[@erhardt1477]

@@kasperhoglund Agree… So you can solely focus on what you want to do and at the same time keep costs DOWN. I would call that a WIN-WIN Situation sir … Greetings from Germany… if you ever pass through … give me a call ☎️

[@damiendutch420]

The old engine sounds lovely man!! I have a few questions about it :) How is it to have a gas tank, quite litterly in the interior. Are you scared of spilling? What do you think of the performance? Like do you find it to be miserably slow or do you not mind it? You replaced the headlight for visibility, but I wonder how much the tire on the hood impedes visibility. And lastly somthing i like to speak about :) How's the suspension?

[@kasperhoglund]

Cheers! The two gas tanks are under the car. But you access them through a metal panel under the seat. Same as you can in all defenders to access the top of the gear box ect. The tanks has rubber seals and is as tight as any other tank. If you spill, it would run out under the car. Not inside it👍 It’s slow, and weak. But not terrible. Just makes you more cautious about weight and changes the driving style a lot. Doesn’t hold up well up hill in high speed mountain inclines. The tire only blocks the top part of the right hand corner of the hood. Kinda similar to how your nose is always in your field of view, but you never think about it 🤝

[@kasperhoglund]

Suspension is old and simple. Stock leaf springs and shocks now. When this fails I’ll get parabolic leafs. Lighter and works a bit differently. And will get old man emu shocks around the rig when those fail.

[@kasperhoglund]

Cheers! Ended up buying from a eBay seller called Original Cafe Racer Co. because I found only too modern looking ones with halos and led Lenses inside the headlight. And wanted something simple looking. They have a kit for defenders/series on their page and it’s about 109£

@@kasperhoglund thanks I found them on eBay. Before I get them would you show the light beam pattern on the road. You maybe thinking why am I asking. Well I got some lights on eBay and it seems to the lights are wired up incorrectly, when the lights are on dip, the light beam is too far away. When on main beam it illuminates the very front of the road. Thanks Brian. I must say I did really like the old LR4.

[@mattmanix5104]

I've just discovered you and very sad to hear the D4 is going as an inspired D3 owner. Are you concerned about the comfort compared to the newer vehicle on long journeys?

[@stlwrx]

The transmission in the Discovery can be serviced and oil changed......

[@kasperhoglund]

Yeah👍 that’s why I used air cotes for “sealed for life” and said “not really meant to be serviced”. It’s perfectly doable to both flush and drop the bottom pan (if you cut the filter in two with a saw when removing to avoid dropping down to much parts). And install the upgrade version. More of a side note to show the difference from cars that got built with service and a long life in focus

[@JIEON.C]

Are you ever worried about (knock on wood) the safety of the older vehicles? I love classic land rovers too but it always concerns me when it comes to vehicle safety.

[@diegoarjona7605]

I have a 1970 series 2a and I know that if I get in an accident I’m pretty screwed but I’ve just kind of accepted that, I do plan to do some safety upgrades in the next year a internal roll cage because I plan to take it rock crawling and rolling is a possibility, rock sliders to protect the sills but they will also help a lot in a side impact and three point seat belts and seats with headrest which overall should make it a fairly safe car

[@kasperhoglund]

I have thought about a half cage. But to be honest I can't really get too worried. Im going to run studded tires with this one, that's for sure. But it is not a place you'd want to be in a head on collision. So I'd take it slow, and avoid unnecessary long drives at night

Actually one under each seat and a manual flip valve to choose what tank to run. It’s a ex military vehicle, so it’s a bit different than the civilian model. Can fill the tank whilst driving from a Jerry can, and one tank can get punctured while still running the other one. Unnecessary for my use, but that’s at least the reason 😅
