Great story! Love learning more helpful tips and tricks. Keep them coming…..

[@mullerandre95]

I like the stories of being stranded and making a plan to get out of strife.

[@seriouslyseriesaustralia]

Thanks Andre, we will make4 sure a few more come your way. Cheers Geoff

[@dc-zk8th]

I like that kind of stories and yes, keeping calm is the most important step in finding solutions of nearly every kind of problem. People tend to forget about that. Thanks for sharing!

[@seriouslyseriesaustralia]

Hi Dominique. No worries, we will bring a few more stories your way. Kind regards, Geoff

Broke a fanbelt in an old VW camper van. Used Swiss army knife to make holes in each of the ends and tied them together with some cord. It lasted for a long time until I could change it out.

[@adamstabler502]

Love the re-enactment Geoff.

[@seriouslyseriesaustralia]

Got to have a bit of comic relief. Glad you got a laugh out of it Adam. Cheers Geoff

I had a broken pump and no support whatsoever... Removed the belt... Kept topping water and was splashing water every now and then on the radiator... Managed 100 kms.... That too on a sweltering summer... Took me 6 hours to cover that distance... By the way I own a series one... This incident happened with an old Isuzu trooper.... And I always carry spare belts... Good one... Keep it going

[@seriouslyseriesaustralia]

Hi Cafes. What a great tale, thank you for sharing that, you learn something new every day, top stuff. Many thanks, Geoff

[@v0w1x2]

First time I’ve visited your channel and I like what I see. Like yourself I travel on some very lonely tracks and like to be well prepared. Good advice about just chilling out and assessing the situation. Of course some people will still have “all the gear and no idea”. Safe travels👍

[@Mike-Holiday]

Great story Geoff, keep em coming!

[@seriouslyseriesaustralia]

G’day Mike. Glad to hear you enjoyed the video. Will do, plenty more takes to come. Thanks again, kind regards, Geoff

[@Mike-Holiday]

Seriously Series thanks Geoff, you’re great to watch and you seem like a great bloke, great combo.

When the serpentine belt went on my 300 TDI I was able to nurse it 25 miles home by stopping every few minutes to cool down, but in British weather.

[@kabaottoemulsion1869]

Well Done! You have survived! It remind me of one of Nasa Apollo mission! Or Macgiver trick! Best carry pantie hose and paper!

[@seriouslyseriesaustralia]

Cheers Kabaotto. Glad you enjoyed the vid.

[@DuncanMargetts]

Good story..I enjoyed some of the dramatic recreations :)

[@seriouslyseriesaustralia]

I felt it would be a dull watch with out a bit of comic relief :). Hope the fleet is going well? Cheers Geoff

[@waynedoeblin6801]

G’day Geoff,good effort,ya gotta keep trying,don’t give up.Yes,stay calm.As you say,you are driving a”proper” Land Rover,and my newer TD5 with it’s serpentine belt is a lot harder to improvise for,so I absolutely have to have a spare or else,hahaha.The beauty of keeping it simple 👍 Take care mate,best wishes 🙂

[@seriouslyseriesaustralia]

Hi Wayne. You are spot on. The TD5 is a solid bit of kit and just like any Land Rover you just need to cater to its odd little habits. Glad you enjoyed the video and best of luck with your adventures. Kind regards, Geoff

[@runesteinsnnkristoffersen5641]

Thank`s for the info. / video Hi , from Norway

[@seriouslyseriesaustralia]

No worries Rurie. I hope it was of some news. I hope all is going well with your adventures in Norway. Kind regards, Geoff

[@leonbreuer6896]

Great :)

[@Ruairi-ni6pf]

Ha loved that video, fair play

[@seriouslyseriesaustralia]

Cheers Ruain. Thanks for your support, we keep them coming your way. Many thanks, cheers Geoff

[@LR-dg7kt]

You should tour Kenya

[@seriouslyseriesaustralia]

Hi Amar. We would love to, differently on the cards for the future. Cheers Geoff

[@grahameroberts8109]

Good grief! You could talk the leg off an iron pot. All viewers wanted to know was what you used as a belt. Instead we got a diatribe of reminiscing, interspersed with anecdotes about using common sense as if the audience was composed of a kindergarten class. Nonetheless, we all know about the fast forward facility which saved the day. The saving grace was that the video included Land Rovers. Cheers cobber. 🙏🏽🙏🏽😷😷🦘🦘

[@seriouslyseriesaustralia]

G’day Graham. Sorry for chewing your ear off, though the title does suggest a tail. Thank you for your honest and frank feedback and we will take it into consideration for future videos. The great attribute of common sense is sadly in limited supply in this new world. Thanks for you patience Graham and I hope you got the info you needed out of the video and thank you for watching. Many thanks, kind regards, Geoff

[@kisbushcraftdownunder]

When in Doubt brew up and take stock of your situation back in the 80s I did a Road side fan belt repair with a big sail needle 🪡and thread

[@meatyball]

Good advice Geoff, too easy to panic. Reminds me of the time my throttle linkage fell apart on my old series 3. Cable ties got me out of the brown stuff and on my way!

[@seriouslyseriesaustralia]

Good old cable ties, there is not much that can't do, great work. Cheers Geoff
