Bush Mechanics | Damaged Bolts Replacement on Fuel Injection Pump

On my way to Cameron Corner in the outback, I experience a mystery sound, which I eventually diagnose as two damaged bolts. Here's how I replaced them.

Finding mechanics is easy .......finding someone who cares enough to do a good job and you can trust ...is like finding a golden unicorn. You trust yourself mate. Keep up the great work Cheers

[@stevenq3840]

Nissan didn’t even put any water in my washer bottle on my last service. ARB made a mess of installing a Long Ranger tank , I had to take it back , I couldn’t of put a better comment than you👍🏻

[@MikeDLees]

Nice job mate. I love how you stay so cool headed and calm as you troubleshoot. A great quality to have.

[@vincentjoyce455]

Amazing video. Excellent job and thanks for posting.

[@blauemadeleine]

It is great to see your clever improvising . Thank you for another educational clip!

[@AJBAdventures]

Good old landrover, nice and easy to repair most of the time, fair play for having plenty of spares 👌

[@Jottingsfrom]

Great job mate. You really are the Aussie McGyver! Stay safe!

[@michow.buecher7290]

I love the vice grip workbench to trimm bolts. Thats a valuable setup, simple, stable and efficient. Have a safe trip!

[@interestedinstuff9601]

Good Job mate - nice lesson in the simple fix. Cheers👍

[@EFFICIENTSELF]

Nothing like being well prepared. 👍🍻 . Big thumbs downs to the repairer that’s caused this issue in the first place. Great job Brett 👍🍻

[@andriesviljoen4309]

Damn....! Like music to my ears! That diesel sounds as sweet as honey. Glad you found the culprit, and fix it. Such crappy things could easily dull your day. Thanks for your sharing brother, and from the Western Cape in South Africa, keep 'em roling....😎

[@emu4wdadventures631]

Amazing you found the culprit...Steve 🇦🇺

[@alanfaulkner6329]

Good job mate.

[@promenteryrobbins]

Great video

[@alanbstard4]

well done

[@Nixbizy]

I have just purchased a defender 110 and this channel is invaluable. This is the first time i want to do all the work myself and am slowly building it up to be a tourer. Thanks heaps

[@RoamingTheOutback]

Great to hear! Enjoy the process.

[@kenmarapese9085]

Seems you have had more mechanic problems than bolt problems. Way to go on the repair!

[@Deckardrick007]

Nicely done 👍

[@axcaxax3009]

I really love your work, and I was just wondering what sort of camera, tripod and Sound recording do you use when videoing, because it looks great. God Bless 😀👍

[@RoamingTheOutback]

Thanks mate. All my film gear is listed here www.kit.co/roamingtheoutback

[@axcaxax3009]

@@RoamingTheOutback thanks for getting back to me so soon, All the best in the future Brett, You've been inspirational mate.

[@adelarsen9776]

`Len Beadell would be proud.

[@TheOldaz1]

Gasket under cover plate? When you get replacement bolts do you specify grade? I carry grade 5 because much stronger than mild steel and can still cut with hacksaw and will do most jobs. Have you thought about a small (maybe 3") vice bolted to your bumper/bullbar? Thanks Brett.

[@RoamingTheOutback]

I usually buy high tensile bolts, so I can use them anywhere. I've thought about a vice on the bullbar, but again, every kg adds up, so didn't do it.

[@robdotcom71]

So when are you getting back on the road? I know covid is a pain in the arse.... but some desert is the perfect place to socially distance... lol

[@RoamingTheOutback]

probably in 2022. Just working and saving now.

[@andrewhowton1961]

Well that is another odd one, never seen that before.

[@Dorko85]

How did you find out what bolt sizes to carry for your 110?

[@RoamingTheOutback]

Climb around with a notepad and set of spanners, and take notes on sizes used. The majority should be metric from memory, unless its early Series, then maybe imperial.

[@Dorko85]

You got a cheat sheet? 🤣

[@RoamingTheOutback]

nope... you never know what a previous owner may have modified. Only takes a couple hours.

[@closertothetruth9209]

a lot of mechanics i worked with were a bit lazy never putting their all into the job.

[@TimsBitsnPieces]

Damn your not having a good run lately with issues happening.. When I want to cut a bolt I also put a nut onto the bolt first, then cut the bolt and then unwind the nut off which will also clean the thread where you cut it.

[@ianparsons8894]

These are flashback clips so it’s not all happening in the last couple months luckily

[@BenMitro]

Clearly the mechanic had the foresight to set you up to make another "Bush Mechanics" video. This is my constant fear - a mechanic being careless (or under pressure from the boss) and leaving me stranded. I'm too old now to do the job myself, so I am reliant on them. One bad egg and they give their entire industry a bad name.

[@RoamingTheOutback]

That's what I thought when the sound appeared. Another chance to film my trials and tribulations. Just more to add to the story. But yes for you it would be a major concern. There was a lot of crawling around for me to locate the issue, not good if I were a much older man.

[@joshua86901]

I don't know where you're based. But if you want a brilliant landy specialist. Contact James at Yorkshire 4x4. He's a one one man army an is a dedicated mechanic!

[@hooky613]

I think its been a cursed year for bad mechanics

[@ruuman]

Thats a frekin joke! There is no way that should come loose. I recommend keeping an eye out for a record imp vice, they are awesome, light and can be clamped to anything. Has a brake hose bender and anvil built in too.

[@_bodgie]

It's a bugger if you make a mistake like that but it's a right PITA if you pay good money to a "qualified expert" to make the same mistake.

[@mattluszczak6567]

Nek minute...not the water pump..

[@nickboylen6873]

Unfortunately, while there are some great mechanics working in car servicing, they are few - the majority work on bigger stuff for more money. Of the generally useless car mechanics, Land Rover specialists attract some of the worst because they’re a relatively low tech car that needs less special tools and training. All the same, you should inform the garage owner, and if their attitude is less than horrified at the poor standard of one of their employees, never use that business again. An injection pump is not a hard thing to replace.

[@Chris-by8eh]

At least your traveling and not in Victoria with dictator Dan running things.

[@RoamingTheOutback]

Not currently travelling. This is 2019 footage. Hopefully be back on the road in 2022.

[@cmadk3423]

Nothing worse than paying to have something done and it not being done right by a so called professional. Do you use the same mechanic all the time or different ones depending on where you are?

[@RoamingTheOutback]

I use a few different LR specialists around Brisbane, depending on what work I want done.

[@cmadk3423]

Makes sense. Good thing you were able to diagnose and repair the issue, could have been much worse had you kept driving.
