Land Rover Defender Brake Disc Upgrade (Beryl)...

Fitting a set of Britpart vented, drilled and slotted Front brake discs to our 110 Overland camper Beryl....Very easy job to do and well worth the effort to improve brake efficiency..

Absolutely beautiful truck i do like your attention to detail 👍🏼👍🏼

[@All4Overland]

Hi Jeroem...thanks for that i do like to all the small details as it does make a difference..regards Paul

[@Mr_Jimbo]

watched another video the other day and they mentioned chucking the hub back into the wheel on the floor (laid flat) to torgue up the disc bolts, great idea!

[@All4Overland]

Hi Mr Jimbo...does sound like a good idea anything that makes the job easier as got to be good...Paul

[@Mr_Jimbo]

@@All4Overland thanks Paul, just bought a TD5 110 and your videos (and others) have convinced me the maintenance is manageable, can’t wait to start tinkering! Happy Christmas mate and thanks for the videos

[@old_con]

Great vid Paul, good to see you using an impact gun,mighty useful. Informative and well filmed so we could see how you were doing each task. 👍🏽😎

[@All4Overland]

Hi Gavin...thanks for that and the impact gun is my new friend lol..i don't know why i waited so long to buy one..regards Paul

[@RobLandroverAdventures]

Good job there Paul.... you can see they need doing.... dune all Mine just over a year ago... only thing I did get a beer 👍🍻

[@All4Overland]

Hi Rob...its definately an upgrade worth doing and i did get myself a beer at the end of it fortunately...regards Paul

[@BigArch6564]

Nice vlog buddy and thanks again for sharing!

[@All4Overland]

Hi Bigarch...glad you enjoyed the episode...regards Paul

[@davidyeates5525]

Good job. Thought you would have done the old trick of cutting the old bearing race with a thin disc, then you can use it to drift in the new ones without fear of getting it stuck. Great vid as always.

[@All4Overland]

Hi David...i think i have got of races in the workshop that i have done that with in the past but i am going to get myself a set of bearing seating tools to make life easier...glad you enjoyed the episode...regards Paul

[@jamessmithcarbondiscovery2542]

Hi Paul, hope u and Karren are well mate. Hard to believe it was a year ago we were all in wales!!! Could do with a catch up soon, need to chat about a trip. Just about to do this exact work on the disco, another great video pal. Speak soon

[@All4Overland]

Hi James...time flies when you are working on the Landy lol...we will have to have a catch up and you will have to come on one of the trips with us in the Spring..regards Paul

[@Hannahandtitch]

Great video As usual :)

[@All4Overland]

Hi Hannahandtitch...glad you enjoyed it..regards Paul

[@philparr2724]

Hi Paul, A super vid, hoping to do the front suspension and discs etc on Penny (New name of the big black landy on my driveway) , but I will have to swap out a heavily corroded Swivel, but, like you I am junking that spacer etc on the bearings and reverting to 300tdi spec and changing calipers and fitting Pioneer 4x4 flexible jump pipes to the caliper and upper swivel joint bracket and a new master cylinder and Servo and and and, Carry on filming Regards Phil

[@All4Overland]

Hi Phil...the pioneer 4x4 flexible jump pipes are well worth fitting..we put them on Wilf when we did the front brakes and its so much easier than having the hard pipe...it is an upgrade i will do shortly i think..and i think it is well worth putting the 300tdi set up in over the TD5..and i will carry on filming lol..regards Paul

[@markkiely8326]

it's been a good build that my disco pickup is nearing the end just need to get my motorbike sold to afford the final push

[@All4Overland]

Hi Mark..glad you have been enjoying the episodes and when you get your truck done hope you have lots of new adventures..regards Paul

[@marco_zero-4x4]

Get rid of the “dust covers” they do nothing on defenders, I’ve removed mine years ago and they is no change, except I’ve had no stones being caught between them and the discs. Love the videos and looking forward to seeing the next, let me know if you’re ever down Salisbury plain are.

[@All4Overland]

Hi Marco...i normally do remove the dust shields as they tend to rot off...its just in this case i haven't got around to it yet but probably will in the future...and if i am down near Salisbury plain i will get in touch...regards Paul

[@channelone4655]

I'm always in a rush and good brakes only slow me down.

[@All4Overland]

Hi channelone...it doesn't matter if i am in a rush or not as i drive a landrover and you can't go quick anyway lol...btw is your name Paul..

[@channelone4655]

@@All4Overland Yeah my name's Paul, it's the best name really. Known Pebs for about 20 years but never get a bike finished quite like he does, and never been interested in cars to look after them as well as you do.

[@paulinhester1660]

Hi Paul great video as per normal, I have a question about the heavy duty drive flanges- will a standard disco alloy fit over them? Regards Paul

[@All4Overland]

Hi Paul...its been a while since i had a disco on standard alloys but from memory i don't think they would fit over the HD drive flanges...regards Paul

[@paulinhester1660]

Cheers Paul looks like new standard one or HD “wolf style”

[@paulinhester1660]

And HD drive flanges

[@shropshireladoutdoors743]

Wills where abouts could have done with watching before he did his but has only just posted his video

[@All4Overland]

Hi shropshire lad..i have just watched his video..i think he could have done with watching this first lol...regards Paul

[@shropshireladoutdoors743]

@@All4Overland definitely I like his youthful enthusiasm even though he doesn't have a clue but you have to learn some where and by his own mistakes it a very steep learning curve age and experience will only tell you that

[@carltonr3417]

Nice video, trucks looking great! What rear axle did you settle on in the end?

[@All4Overland]

Hi Carlton...i ended up using a standard Landrover axle rather than a salisbury...the one i have fitted now is a heavily modified reinforced axle and there is a video coming out next week...regards Paul

[@carltonr3417]

@@All4Overland awesome, looking forward to it! Was it a complete discovery 1 axle?

[@All4Overland]

Yes it was a discovery 1 axle but heavily modified with the Xcess 4x4 bracing kit and the rest of the modifications are in the video this Sunday..regards Paul

[@NickLev]

this disc should be on the other side of the axle.. oops ;)

[@All4Overland]

Hi Nick...the brake discs are not handed you can put them on either side... the direction of the slot in the disc you can put on either way..if they were handed the air vents on the inside of the discs are angled to aid with cooling..the air vents in these vents are cut straight so hence why they are not a handed disc...regards Paul

[@NickLev]

@@All4Overland I think the slots and holes are meant to de-gas the pads. Logically the direction that makes sense to me is to "throw" the gasses outward. However if the internal vanes are straight I guess it's less of an issue. Keep the videos coming Paul 👍

[@All4Overland]

as far as i know it makes no difference at all the direction of the holes in the slots for degassing like i said its only the direction of the internal slots in the rotor..regards Paul
