This is you at your best Mike, excellent teaching. I have a TD5 but feel inclined to switch back to a 300tdi at some future point. This is a video worth remembering. Thanks

dragon4r4 ben why would you do that?

To be honest I do love my TD5, not knocking them, possibly the best home grown engine land rover has developed. I've done a lot of work on it and getting to know it better but I think, for me, the 300 tdi is a much easier car to work on all round (I'm probably just more confident with it as I've got a lot more experience with them). Mine is a 2002 so no diff lock which is useful for where I live.

Hi Mike love what you are doing one thought that came into my mind was as you seem to spend so much time talking to the camera do you find yourself talking to yourself when you are not filming.

Hi Mike, was the Inj order not 1, 2, 4, 3? Or did you confuse us by swapping the dust caps? :-) Love watching from back in the UK. Be great to see some TD5 engine work. Cheers.

No that was the order I took them out of the head not the firing order, but it is 1,4,3,2, on most older British cars - Fords were different if I recall

Mike does nobody have the Isuzu 4BD1 engine in Canada? I have been waiting for quite some time for you to work on one. I check every morning here in Oz for new videos, Love the channel

Was not an option - in fact there were no Land Rover diesels imported into Canada officially I have a 4BD1T in my 130 but it was in a 1980's GMC cab forward - very hard to find info or parts Dealers want to know the VIN number of the truck to find parts for it

@@BritannicaRestorations I think I emailed you a picture of mine when you ran the competition ( I think it was 10000 subscribers) mine is 1988 ex Australian Army 110, they have a 4-speed box, would love an extra gear. Fortunately, there is a lot of parts being sold by the army here army as they haven't quite got rid of the land rovers and Uni Mogs. Plus there are a few people taking advantage of the Auctions (Landybitz) being one selling parts for outrages prices

just a random one... your dewalt, is it the dcf887 with the 3 'speed' selection and do you use a 1/4 to 3/8 or 1/2 drive adapter for sockets? I have been looking at various impacts but most of my sockets are 3/8. I was looking at the dcf880 or the dcf894 but both are 1/2. I have the 887 for general screwing (oh matron) and have used it with an adapter for sockets but kind of want to keep it as a 'clean tool' DIY stuff in the house. I have found a lot of folks on the interweb have swapped the anvil on the 887 to the 3/8s from the 899 part no N415874 . Just thinking about ordering the anvil and a new 887 to swap to a 3/8s rather than 1/4

@@BritannicaRestorations Well, and don't get me wrong, far be it for me to set anti with a bloke (a Yorkshire bloke) who may already have the head on the bench and may... Just may already know the answer and may, just may take the opportunity to laugh at me and say ah ha it's the gasket. I have actually been thinking about it. Considering the grot in the water when you squeezed the pipe, I may revise a crack to an exhaust valve leaking into the cooling system. Wouldn't a head gasket that far gone look like a steam loco, and be a bitch to start no? If I'm wrong I'll order a spudger and a sticker from the shop. I was hoping to get some of your audience laying bets on this, where are you all?

Lol! it's all for fun! But when you see it, it makes sense - BUT the point is we can diagnose things too deep, BUT the issue is, what is the cost effective fix?
