As someone who owns a 25 year old Disovery 2 TD5 (the best of the LR engines).and does many many remote adventures throughout Australia. You can always fix a landrover and it will always get you home. They are the very best of vehicles and I am truly loving your series brake downs n all adventure it highlights how simple they are to fix with basic bush machines 😉 trip of a life time

[@TailgateGarage]

Dont edit out Rich explaining/diagnosing stuff. That is exactly why I watch.

[@DEBOSSGARAGE]

lol in our defence all we covered up was Rich saying he could swap out the 300tdi sensor for the Puma one in the green landy to test, which wasn’t compatible so wasn’t ever done.

[@TheHungryZebra]

This gives me TopGear vibes in the best way possible. Well done guys.

[@poyakiani7883]

1:05:50 That's The storyline of any random road trip with a Landy 😂. You break the bank in the gas station and the parts store, drive through some terrain most people can't navigate on foot, pul a couple of Toyotas out of a ditch, fix 2/3 of the damn thing on the side of the road, get a sore ass from all the vibration and the nice comfy seats and still somehow you knowingly decide to do all that again 😅😅😅 and again 😂😂😂

[@scotts9898]

This video should be number 1 on the KZbin trending list! Loved the whole video never needed to fast forward or skip a single time. Friends the view and your rovers what else could a man want for an adventure.

[@chrispayne900]

I travelled with my folks in Southern Africa for many years in two 300 Tdi's. We went eveywhere together in them. Thank you for a great show, it made me super nostalgic. Great to see some adventurers swinging spanners in Africa. This is genuinely what its like overlanding in Old Landrovers.

44:40 when blowing out filters blow from the inside out, at least at first, otherwise you may just be imbedding some dust deeper in rather than pushing it out. Great series!

[@sebastiengombau]

Such a good trip ! Agree with some comments to tell : it's the best travel video since a long time !!! Almost stock Defender without too much accessories. Mechanic skills & road repairs. That's all the spirit Land Rover. Can't wait the next one. Best Regards from a Swiss Defender owner.

I've always found it easiest to reverse bleed the clutch from the slave cylinder. You just use a traditional pumpy oil can filled with clutch fluid with a bit of hose connected to the bleed nipple on the slave. Turns it into a 1 person job!

Bad practice at 44:34. He is pushing the particles deeper in the filter media by blowing from outside toward inside.

[@nikhill6917]

I noticed the same thing and wondered if anyone else did. Would recommend blowing air from the clean side of the filter to the dirty side of the filter. That way dust blows out of the filter without having to travel all the way through the filter. It’ll perform better and last longer this way.

[@raamonkhan4909]

Always add some car-oil on the rubber seal of the air-filter . . .it traps all dust and seals better.

The TD5 is missing the lower part of the fan cowling which is why the top part of the fan cowling has nothing to attach onto.

[@ferretboy221]

Thermostat is a separate plastic item on a TD5 not in the head - The piece they are missing for the rad fan shroud is an intermediate plastic frame the attaches to the radiator using the two holes in the rad and two clips at the bottom, and lastly if that machine is supposed to have been a "ready for sale" Land Rover the place that sold it needs to have a serious chat with themselves.....

[@HPLP85]

Absolutely.....all I could think of is who was messing with that td5! A trip to Britannia restorations in Quebec when you get back might be worth it?

For real man, I thought he said that it's inspected by that dealer(?) or something. It is a consignment but shouldn't they at least check it a little bit before giving it to the costumer. Problems right from the get go.

Little trick with Td5 cooling systems. When you need to bleed the system, you need raise the header tank above the height of the engine by 100 mm (4 inches) with the engine running and the cap removed because, believe it or not, air gets trapped in there and causes all sorts of issues.

[@pablomax9376]

So, this is basically exactly like like every Land Rover "trip" I have ever tagged along on. I was usually the odd man out with my Toyota, but it was always the same. The videos and the photos afterwards were always, oh.. here is where we had to stop and fix this. Here is where it overheated. At the end of every day on the tracks, the LR guys all had their hoods up and were crawling under their rigs looking for something. I felt obligated to open my own hood to check if the engine was still there. The LRs mostly always got them to the end, but holy crap did they need a lot of maintenance. Though, it seemed to me, for the LR folks, that was most of the fun.
