[@tonyalways7174]

Great to see another update. Keep 'em coming and well done on a cracking job of keeping this superb vehicle in fine shape. 🙂

Thanks for sharing the ride along with us.

[@squeaksvids5886]

It’s running beautifully. Look forward to another year of your videos.

Thanks for the update. Gotta say, the skinny tyres look great on a series vehicle

[@timmillikan1155]

Looking great, glad to see you’re out enjoying it.

[@garypoulton7311]

Thanks for the tyre info, was thinking about fitting these, my Goodyear G90s are noisy, slippery in the wet and due for a change. Thanks for all your videos.

Thanks, a set of XZL's will not disappoint.

[@nicowilson]

Thank you for the update

[@neilbowser6359]

I thought the standard fix for the gear slipping out, was to tie the stick in place with a bit of rope.

Thanks for the interesting update 👍

I have a Series2 that had been sitting for a while and had a noisy crash box. Put in a 50ml bit of "LUBRI MOLY GEAR ANTI-FRICTION" , and within 100 miles it was significantly quieter. My old '58 VW bus used to frequently pop out of reverse, and same stuff helped. I live in subarctic Alaska and drive my Landy year-round. Worth a try 👍

[@steamwally]

I actually added "ZX1" to the gearbox oil, simply because the bronze bush that 3rd gear runs on always seems to suffer lack of lubrication in these gearboxes.

Lovely truck 👍

Nice land rover love a series 3

[@stuartsturgess2199]

nice did you hear about the Guiness World Record attempt in Market Harborough in a month or so ..they are trying to get the most landys in Convoy ....I'm going as I'm local to the event

[@steamwally]

Yes I did, a little bit off my patch. It'll be interesting to see the result. Land Rover events in middle England always seem to be well attended- we are not so well served for such events in the South East corner.

[@stuartsturgess2199]

@@steamwally ah shame you won't be there there's a bigger show in Peterbourgh tbh I think more people are switching to defender's these days suppose they are better at distance work ...tbh mine's not in regular use so it's 50/50 I'll make it and I'd only 10 miles from the event

[@HeinerStorch]

I like the sound of the series gearboxes, as it is like the sound of an e-vehicle ... so Series are lightyears ahead of the present discussion😉

[@rbrtcrowther]

I rebuilt my gearbox several years ago after it destroyed its reverse gear. It never jumped out of reverse right up until it failed. Anyhoo I fitted a new reverse gear and all the bearings throughout and seals and the bloody thing jumps out of reverse…and it’s getting worse definitely not bedding in … so I need one of those reverse gears you mentioned coz it drives me nuts

[@steamwally]

Yup, very annoying! It's no problem in normal driving, just under heavy loads it's a pain.

[@terrytopsider3835]

The truck looks great. I love your videos. I just got a LR 84 Santana and it’s so LOUD. I don’t mind it being crazy loud inside while driving. It’s the bloody noise outside. My neighbors are going to kill me. Any suggestions to make less noisy exhaust system?

[@steamwally]

The standard exhaust on a petrol Land Rover, Santana or Rover, are very quiet, so I guess you have a non standard system? Diesels are noisy, you can hear them several streets away... they'll just have to put up with it if it's a diesel.

[@davids8449]

Seems very whiny. I do not think I could stand it myself .........would need ear plugs to drive it more then a mile

[@steamwally]

A few thousand miles on and it's much quieter. All new gears inside.
