Huge thumbs up for this video, kudos for getting the td5 to start. I am extremely envious and jealous.

[@khosrowjalali7898]

Absolutely loving this journey.

[@timwilson4967]

Good to see your expertise and commitment to the challenge have won thru, Sam. You and the team are formidable. Keep including your lovely dogs and the background music❤.

[@markwilliamson2555]

Definitely a set of white/cream Wolf wheels. Early disco 2 headlights too. Same fittings but the dark background looks neater. Can’t wait to see what you do though. Loving it so far.

[@taurota1554]

Really enjoying this build

[@millie1107]

Great moment taking the D1 on the road test, loving this project and eagerly waiting for the next instalment 👍

[@transitpassenger3948]

Congrats guys on a completed project! It was interesting! I hope that there will be another defender 1, it's a pity that you rarely deal with them! Well done, as usual!

[@gordonbarclay6106]

Coming along great, looking forward to the next few vids..

[@brettb4625]

Loving the vids mate 🙏🏼

[@mowerman60]

I loved the TD5,I had three TD5 defenders and each of them did 300,000kms of hard driving here in NZ. My 2.2 goes great but sounded gay until i chopped both exhaust mufflers out. Mine is NZ/Australia spec so no DPF.

[@TheNorthernExplorer]

That thing sounds so good! Looking forward to seeing it done! Oh I’d love to do Stuff like this if I had a garage and ramp

[@barrien4]

Had discos for 26 years love them,I used to work on Land rovers .

[@patrickflanagan8008]

I LOVE this.I've never really been a fan of the Discovery...90's have been my first choice, but I think what you've done here is tremendous. I cant wait to see the end result of all your enthusiastic work. What a great team. I think I'm turning into a 'Disco' fan :). :)

[@grahamhowland566]

Please keep the white steel rims and Epsom green as they really match the character/standard farm run around look of this truck

[@matt.polo6r]

Now we need a 300tdi disco 2

[@espenbenneche7097]

Great video😊😘best regards from Norway

[@davidreid9973]

Cool build.

[@joeb2224]

Great build, can I vote to keep it as original as possible? I know what you fellas are like!!! Carry on with the great videos. Cheers!

[@faroukwasswa3588]

It sounds lovely

[@madmechsgarage1727]

how about doing a Defender camper conversion with roof-top tent? would be a good series :)

[@telfordpetrolhead]

Would love this landy

[@TheProco2020]

Are there any further instalment’s? A BMW engined Disco 1 on steels and ratty exterior but premium interior would be my dream LR Restomod

[@vincentpoole7588]

J/M. With the additional weight of the 5-pot donk up front, did you jokers look to replace the front coil springs too ? ? Would like to see this hybrid D1.5 on lowered sport coil springs/dampers ! V.

[@mikerenshaw7867]

Good job on the Disco still, not sure about the hat😆

[@eltonkingsley5617]

What happened to the Red madcap LR?

[@pawelpokucinski]

Hi, Do you know how hard is convert the steering in to the left side in defender ? Is it possible?

[@Predator27007]

I hope my beloved D1 will one day have monetary value. Otherwise, it's just a labour of love and a (probably) big money pit. Much better than any Defender however.

[@thomasgatti]

If you have the money or budget to do so, you should invest in higher grade equipment as the frame rate when turning or panning the camera is not comfortable to watch, I feel like ur cinematography skills are good enough to warrant buying one. :))

[@adriandavis9790]

When are you going to get a disco 4 with a snapped crank and fit a bmw engine into it .could be interesting 😂😂😂

[@barrien4]

Hi I have a 1999 td5 disco 2 I’ve had it for 16years only 86000 on the clock, good strong engine.

[@billmain3143]

Any more videos coming?

[@bombardierboerboels]

Dear juice how hard would it be to fit a discovery 4 with a 3.6 V8 diesel

[@colingarner6175]

With all that arm waving you’d be good at an airport bringing planes in to park !😅

[@jerrygreene7139]

This ugly duckling is slowly turning into a beautiful swan. Nice work!

[@kevinfletcher9514]

I enjoy your channel, having had several old series landies I know the issues and faults but now for the moan, why do we have to have several minutes (that have to be fast forward) of dogs running in fields, cows walking down road?

[@juicemotors]

Since adding my dogs to my channel (whom I love dearly) I’ve seen substantial growth in my followers, viewer engagement and an overall positive impact to the channel. I appreciate you might skip this part, but they’re here to stay 💛

Paint the bumpers with raptor paint 😬

[@tatankacleary]

I’ll probably get some hate for this and it’s an old question I’ve seen all the answers about being mad and all that…. And just buy a series but I like my defender and the way it preforms and stops! on and off road and towing …. I’ve owned series and know all there “performance” issue …😂😂😂 I have a 2003 td5 defender 90 and I want to backdate it to a series 3 for nostalgic reasons … meaning I’d like to replace the windscreen, grille, bonnet, wing tops, and light basil I’ll use the defender wing sides and eyebrows as the defender has a wider track . The roof I’ll know I’ll have mate a defender early roof with a series roof … I would love a cat flap and I’ll use 86 90 lift handle doors …. still looking for the galvanized door strips. Ok so there’s my plan …. my main concern is the td5 p15 engine and all cooler can it fit with the recessed grille panel with modification and an electric fan? So what you think …. Oh and I live in Ireland….
