Land Rover Restoration Part 19 - Exhaust, Fuel, Spark

[@Mrcaffinebean]

Hahaha the project Binky joke had me rolling from the first minute!

[@philippayne1544]

It was harsh. Hit me right in the feels.

[@stco2426]

@@philippayne1544 Hit BOM right in the brackets!

[@craigwilliams3820]

i missed it 🤦

[@ScottHampshire]

I'm a simple man: I see the CROKER, I see the ROVER. Thumbs up baby.

[@nicolocapobianco3845]

Same here, haven't even watched the video yet

[@DavidPlass]

+1 me too.

[@NemetskyCzar]

I'm off to watch the end of Project Binkie! Oh wait. Fierce burn Mr Croker!!

[@derekddanderson1]

Having to wait 18 months (where did the time go?) just to see him struggle to put a round shaft in a round hole. But totally worth it

[@marklister7361]

Damn I'm so excited today my Lightweight arrives. I'm a fifty something guy and I am buzzing today can't wait to get stuck in to the old crusty rust bucket. Two hours to go. Thanks for the content you are doing an awesome job..

[@accobra383]

Ordinarily I would baulk at a 48 min video. But when it has Geoffery Croker’s name to it, you know it won’t be long enough. Absolutely superb and better than anything you’ll get on “pay TV”.

[@anotherrandominternetdog]

Laying. Laying on my couch. Old soldier’s mantra - don’t run if you can walk, don’t walk if you can stand still, why stand if you can sit, lay down instead of sitting, lay down and watch videos of some mad Kiwi fixing his old Landy if at all possible.

[@MichaelBrown-s7f]

So pleased to see another video, I recommend these videos to all who want to understand the foibles of a Series Land Rover, so clearly explained with humour and great music. Found this video late at night and stayed up way too late to watch it. Totally worth it. On a side note, another vote for Emberton Imperial. I have visited the Emberton premises in the UK and met Charles who is very helpful. He is a top bloke and any issues are instantly resolved. His stuff all works, not a lottery like some other retailers. He commissions new manufacture of a lot of bits and pieces not available elsewhere.

[@polloloci21]

“spark plug wires are black” 19:34 - 19:58. The best 24 seconds on KZbin

[@WaynesWorld69]

Shine on, you crazy diamond!

[@upscaleshack]

You're lucky they shipped your exhaust pipes in a box. I ordered full exhaust for my S3 from UK and they shipped to Kenya as bare pipes with a shipping label taped on. Luckily they arrived unscathed. But fumbling around in my gravel driveway to install them I managed to get a piece of gravel in the pipe and now I have a lovely jingle every time I start up the Landy.

[@bodibmf]

Pink Floyd and Land Rover…could you ask for more?!!?!?!? ❤

[@kasperhoglund]

I cant finish my car without the full series of this build, so I’m stoked about a new upload!😎

[@CROKERvsRover]

I’m pretty sure you’ll be travelling Norway in yours before I even fit a wheel 😂

[@Damptarmac]

Wow at the bracket mounting of the PCV valve you had me laughing out loud like I almost never do watching youtube.. Extremely relatable!

[@kymcopyriot9776]

Entertaining, thanks! I always open your videos smiling at why anyone would want to be working on an archaic shitbox with imperial fasteners and 11 horsepower…and finish the video with a vague hankering to go and buy one…

[@timwilson6663]

Awesome work!

[@donjon5927]

When my wife complains about how long the projects around home take you prove it could be worse. Thanks mate.

[@bobferranti5222]

I've missed the Rover. It's been so long yet it seems like only yesterday.

[@andatzurkola9377]

Man please don’t stop i have to finish my land rover restoration😂

[@CMacks3y]

Missed this series! Glad to see it back. As much as I love this disco project, this one is my favorite.

[@Semi0ffGrid7]

Very impressed, what a wonderful job you made of it, good for another 50 years in the right hands!

[@chrisross-smith4358]

Fantastic video as always, hopefully we won't have to wait 18 months for the next one...😅

[@rickytvaldezable]

I missed your videos bro! I appreciate your humor. These are always entertaining videos to see good quality British engineering.

[@tutekohe1361]

Wow, that 48 minutes absolutely flew by!

[@ifan4983]

Amazing video as always. I have a series 2 sitting there waiting for the restoration to magically start. Your attention to detail is incredible. How on earth did you mangae to spot that divet in the bottom of the fuel tank. It would never of crossed my mind to even check it. You should do this full time.

[@squeaksvids5886]

Great to see the landy back. It’s looking good and that engine sounds smooth.

[@stuartstephens]

The suspenseful music always gets me on edge, I'm waiting for a major catastrophe but (thankfully) it's usually a smallish one.

[@PaulMcGuinness]

Totally agree on Emberton (and in the UK, they are also on eBay as well) - Great to see the next video up, Sooooo many tips to be had for my next project (1983 Series III 109) - looking forward to the next one.

[@CROKERvsRover]

Thanks Paul

[@__FJ__]

God that stab at Project Binky has me in stitches.

[@richardhasler6718]

Thanks Geoffrey, your videos are like a solar eclipse or other important astronomical event. Rare but they get people excited all over the world.

[@nicholasreason8379]

through all the frustrations when it fires for the first time after the rebuild it is wonderful

[@therealaretelio]

Excellent surprise waking up to a new video in this series!

[@andyhunter8342]

Flashback to my Dad's 52 series 1 where the fuel gauge was a stick with notches cut in it

[@Jacksterific]

Came for the humour, stayed for the content. So glad to see more Croker Rover!

[@pkuukas]

An audible gasp alerted the folks at this lunch establishment to the reality of a new Croker video ❤️😂

[@SMAKT1]

Plug in and unplug the battery in the makita charger to change the tune it plays when the battery is plugged in/finished charging.

[@ruitti99]

This.

[@MadeInGreatBritain]

Beat me to it

[@dan725]

I have to go back to your original channel to review all the work all in one go haha. Also, Once this is done, I hope you do a 1-2 hour MEGA edit! Just amazing work!

[@MrTobestool]

Great to see the old girl running!

[@ukjoshb]

The patience of a saint, rust and british engineering is a deadly combo

[@J4rn0]

We are back baby! ❤

[@andreasfrohler7560]

Great vid. Been missing the rover progress 🤙🤙

[@vitorbarreiro5275]

Now I see it.. 17 months to clock the distributor and 1 month for the rest 😅 You nailed it once more! Great job, great video and greetings from a fan from Portugal 🇵🇹

[@pd1jdw630]

It’s alive!! Love it. It running. I recon it’s going fast from this point forward.

[@simonkoen6234]

It is because of your restoration videos that I am busy restoring my own series 2. You make it look so easy. It is hard work but I am having fun. My biggest challenge is to get parts in South Africa. But I have made some friends while searching down some rabbit holes. Keep it up.

[@peterwarner8541]

The annual video drops! Awesome!!!! By the way my ex military defender came with a painted diff cover for silent convoy mode, the light underneath then lit something up for the driver behind to follow.

[@jonholmes8535]

Pink Floyd opening, and a jab at BOM, quality return for the series 3

[@artoh2863]

I truly have been watching the Binky. Again! I started it all over because it takes so blody long 😂

[@leighreid5480]

Would love it if you did a vid whenever you make something for the project, even the little washers for example. Collate a few together if it’s not worth it for one.

[@helistorm98]

Please give us an update sooner than 18 months, ive missed this Rover so so much! The amount of work youve done is incredible, the level of detail is unpar with any other build

[@kar428]

This is the best series known to man!

[@gbentley8176]

.....beast or mice, as Disney said.

[@JB-uj5ue]

I had given up on seeing any more of this project... but I was very excited!!

[@chadriddle4357]

You sir would fit right in the state of Kentucky running open heads near a plastic tank.

[@alfrede.neuman9082]

HE’S BACK!!!! Awesome to see your videos as ever, you’re probably my favourite channel on YT. Keep up the amazing work!

[@jamesgoddin8880]

We’ve missed you, sir. Welcome back

[@RealSideQuest]

Excellent work, Goeff! I'm here in the US knee deep in rebuilding my Rover. ... I've uploaded a few videos... not to your quality, but I'm trying to get there:) All the best and hopefully we'll get our respective Landy's back out in the dirt. -- And the Binky joke was perfect; I bet more than half of the folks here got it.

[@dennisp.2147]

Project Binky ain't got nothing on Aaron Cake who has been working on his Mazda Cosmo in Canada for about 12 years now. I don't know if I'm allowed to point this out, but just soldering a new larger OD end on the vacuum pipe, without adding the extension, would have allowerd you to use "any old hose" instead of a 40 year old NOS part. It's great to see it running!

[@francistheodorecatte]

speaking of Aaron Cake, my Cosmo senses are tingling.

[@lukasmatzinger]

That would not have been a bad idea... 😅

[@stco2426]

😂, Trus in every sense of the word.

[@TheBasementChannel]

Waiting for the snazzy blue silicone radiator hoses 😂

[@damontimmerman1378]

Awesome job and truly a pleasure to watch. Your eye for detail and originality is insane!

[@cameronmurie]

While waiting for you I have had to watch an Australian rebuilding a S1 - can you just imagine? HE is a kicker, biter and a spitter. You sir, are dangerously close to becoming a rivet-counter. I love it. Keeps me going on my own not-project, and you are doing some of the best of type content I know of. Brilliant. Cheers from KZN South Africa.

[@MrRockinRein]

Who are those guys that have something better to do than watching a Croker video?! They need to get their priorties in order I'd say

[@dfross87]

Under great sufferance I allowed myself to be taken out for lunch first. I wasn't driving 🍺, and I wasn't paying 🦞🥩.

[@mikeholdaway2412]

If you are looking for 3,4,5 BA, I have a pretty good selection. Thanks for the entertainment . Cheers Mike

[@LenPopp]

Shine on, you crazy Kiwi.

[@BadWaterMotors]

Had a rough day at work, but come home to a croker video, and my life gets a little bit better.

[@100mostlyauthentic]

not even 30k subs, absolutely criminal!!! explains your attitude towards comments though hahaha

[@th3k1ngofchina]

Not a painted diff cover!!! This reminded me of the timeless line, "Not to 50!!!" Absolute legend

[@gbentley8176]

Good to see progress has been made. Makes me know I am not alone when projects take a little time. Wonder if E.V's will feature in restoration videos in sixty plus years time!

[@DaveHowling]

Perfect Sunday morning viewing. Ever thought of doing a co-presentation with Marty-T. Between the two of you I'm certain you'd be able to find that Land Rover with a good battery in a paddock/barn/living room somewhere.

[@jameslovelock1382]

Well worth the WAIT!!! And it might even be finished before Binky 🤞, just in time for another project?????

[@paulsnoeckx1767]

Defender owner here and... daaaamn it's amaizing, was missing your vids, but now seeing it on... gave me chivers!

[@adamstab1]

After watching this I have set my ignition timing back to TDC, seems to run happy.

[@nickuk1978]

Emberton are great, have bought quite a few bits off them - had Charles call me up from his own mobile to check I was OK with a substitution they had to make once. That's customer service.

[@malcolmfox5463]

Brilliant as ever Geoff, my favourite you tube channel!

[@josilhus]

Can't wait to see this project completed. This series has build more hype that any marvel's phase Love you my man

[@anthonycox8787]

Nice one Geoff. Great to see the series three back on the channel. Now a request. Get one of the Land Rover projects finished. Totally finished. Then please, pretty please, the Super 7. 👌

[@shannons1886]

Fill the tank with water to weld safely. Displaces the fumes.

[@scalewarmachines]

Very enjoyable tinkerage.

[@Classicyachts-kc7qv]

You are inspirational, thanks. I'm in the process of buying a 6 cylinder 109 SW.

[@claeswikberg8958]

48 minutes of classic Crocker humor, cant go wrong with that!

[@alexanderbaragwanath3067]

So glad you're back, more videos soon please.

[@robertrowse1028]

Somewhere in the recesses of my memory I remember webbing under the front tank flange

[@chrishoward8473]

It's very convenient that they made this vehicle such that the body goes on last. I'm surprised the older ones arent running around without the furniture.

[@toomasmatt7201]

Am I the only one who put the thumbs up after the first second? Especially after starting with a Pink Floyd intro

[@mjallenuk]

Next time the Crocker Crew can't be arsed to help with the exhaust you should break out the bungee cords 👍

[@protodad1]

Binky joke had me choking on the couch, wife was looking at me funny. Can’t believe it’s been that long. While I’m never going to say no to new content, this one definitely was missing some of the charm of the other videos. It’s still better than most car KZbin though…

[@gregholloway2656]

Installing that distributor drive gear, sheesh! I thought the gag was going to be that you’ve spent the last 18 months trying to get the hole in the bushing to line up. Great to see you back, Geoff! 👍

[@ryanrich4596]

Ah yeah! New land rover update. I don't own one and have no plans to own one and love the videos. Glad to see progress made!

[@Preso58]

Good to see you working on the Landy again. My friend has a series 3, but it's not as pretty as yours. Trust me, I've been elbow deep inside it's greasy heart too often. Regards, Preso

[@p.d.nickthielen6600]

I put a new old stock oil pan on my 1950 Chev 6cyd. It had a pin hole that was paint over, I did not see this, and 10 miles into my first drive it let loose. So new pan will come off and get repaired. Lucky me. Thank you for the contact

[@captainq]

Better things to do? This IS the better thing to do. I've been watching and laughing since the beginning. Always enjoy your brand of humor! Good stuff. Thanks for sticking with it.

[@cjtaylor0103]

Think about you every day when I see my charts hanging in the garage! The typical thought is "he's really good at making charts...a lot better at making charts than making videos quickly".

[@GavinEarnshaw]

Awesome 😎. My Britpart fuel tank came pre-dented (package was ok) and a random screw in the bottom rattling about. Probably a 3BA 😂

[@neildavidson2343]

Hi mate the original tanks are outies. Yours is a rare one. Also the rear fixing should have the thread at the top.

[@southcoastrovers]

I had a good chuckle when you fitted the oil pump drive shaft and distrubutor. Had to do the same on a 57 2litre. That was one fun afternoon!

[@JonDingle]

Great to see an update on the Land Rover young man, and I have to say, it's a mint job you are doing!

[@Geordie90210]

Loved it, thank you for taking the time to share.

[@OutdoorAdventureTV]

I'm watching your video instead of editing mine... Procrastination at its finest. 🙂

[@futtymad]

Brilliant as always! Thanks for creating and sharing these.

[@xXscopedHDXx]

13:22 You can change/disable the Makita charger chime by unplugging and reinserting a battery a couple times.

[@MorningNapalm]

You can change the Makita charger melody. Just out a battery in it, and then snap it off and immediately back onto it, and the next melody is chosen. I love your videos btw.

[@craterinahole]

I use the charts all the time to do conversions to metric, best merch ever.

[@markjames9205]

I’m a Jeep guy and probably will never own a LR , but I love this channel with your attention to detail and your self deprecating humour, also the Pink Floyd intro was pretty good too.
