Making BIG improvements to my Defender

[@Marley_S93]

Can we all just take a moment to appreciate how far bqr has come alone. From being an almost novice just tinkering on motors, to engine swaping and fabbing shit up! Fair play mate

[@earnestbunbury2103]

Kinda like Ricer Miata...

BQR That’s a K&N washable filter!! That’s a performance mod too. There’s around £50. Highly recommend you reuse it mate.

[@boqer123]

yup just noticed hahah, cheers I'll pull it out the bin

[@gen1c8rs88]

@@boqer123 Make sure you have the cleaner and spray oil.

[@gen1c8rs88]

@@boqer123 If you ever get MT tyres I would recomend Yokohama Geolander MT G003 tyres(285/75r16 is 27.25kg) as they are as light as a BFG KO2 All Terrian(27kg), even lighter than a BFG KM3(29kg) and have sipes as the KM3's do not, making it a good overlanding MT tyre.

Actually love Andy his sense of humour is great 😂😂😂

[@mitchellphelps61]

Loving the land rover content. BTW you should be running steel wheel nuts with those instead of the alloy ones as they have a different taper

[@adoman9599]

Just finished watching the first defender video, refreshed the page and this vid poped up! Exceptional timing if i do say so myself! 😂

[@kieranallen9892]

I'd keep that roofrack you can weld so put some strengthening pieces in or make it higher then maybe line it with steel playing or wood paint it up it'll look brilliant, also it'll make a good video 😉😉

[@joshcole5669]

That oil filter sprays oil in those jets whilst it is spinning and it helps separate the carbon from being pumped around the engine. The ones i change in a Scania engine, the filter comes apart in pieces for you to scrape all the carbon build up out of.

[@chrisnoble1416]

I loved cleaning the spinners out when I was a apprentice at scania in UK.

[@joshcole5669]

@@chrisnoble1416 Haha i'm an apprentice plant engineer and our generators use the Scania engine :)

[@johnfrancis8901]

Wow what a difference the more original radiator grille makes to your landrover along with the new steel wheels new bumper along with the roof rack to turn your landrover back into a working vehicle and keep its place in people's hearts worldwide including the farmers out there that use landrover for work on and off the farm worldwide too keep up the good work Andy from John in kidlington in oxfordshire

[@HanGotBusted]

Andy's Landy's, the channel none of us knew we needed.

[@johnfrancis8901]

Those steel wheels on your landrover look far better than other wheels and it's also a good job that you explain to all of your viewers in every little detail what you are doing to your landrover keep up the good work Andy

[@kalle6947]

Didnt know anything about Defenders until you bought one and I just think they’re the coolest things now. Cheers from Sweden

[@jokubasceponis9229]

This is honestly one of the baddest looking offroaders I've seen. Super stoked to see that besides the car vids, you are still keeping the bmx content going. Good stuff boq!

[@davbishdb]

Just moved in to my new house in Liverpool for my masters, been a subscriber and a massive fan since 2013’s webisode days, crazy how life moves on quick, but I’m still a massive fan of your vids, got me in to bmx as a child and got me in to cars as an adult, love the new defender, wheels look mega good, can’t wait for many more videos

[@davbishdb]

How do you feel about dipping your quavers in milkshake

[@creamsoda5492]

Surprised at how much I’m a fan of this build. Never been into off roading. Looking forward to more content!

[@robbieyoung5781]

Love this series already. And well glad you kept the matte black as well, looks mint

[@L0AKER]

9:49 Rare footage of Charles Bronson working out while on day-release

[@georgeg2185]

Such a good transformation! I’d be interested in less glossy headlight surrounds next

[@dozer877]

The one you made is far nicer than the original. Loving this series

[@MrZimmaframe]

7:37 Yo btw you should put some fresh oil in the oil filter before you put it on, just helps stop your upper end running dry until the oil is sucked and pumped through the oil filter housing.

[@MattS296]

New boqer videos are a good start to the day

[@johnfrancis8901]

That new bumper you added to your landrover makes your landrover look more original now keep up the good work Andy from John in kidlington in oxfordshire

[@TheEvilFryingPan]

Just finished my scran on my break at work watching this easy 20 minute break 👌🏼 Defenders looking sick aswell

[@hdw.]

Track car, drift car, project car, off roader, living the dream👌🏼

[@A3O1503]

Glad you kept it matte black looks unreal mate

[@davidwilliams2377]

Nice 110, excited to see what you do next. Changing that grill was the best thing, all you need to do is change the headlight and indicator cover back to standard now haha. If you plan on doing anything remotely wet you should really check all your breathers, the front and rear diff, there are ones that come off the transfer box and gearbox. You can buy kits which allow you to bring the hoses up to the engine bay. Also in land rovers great design on the td5 the ECU is pretty low in the drivers seat box and will get wet well before the engine will take on water heh, worth checking it's water tight, people have been known to put them in tupperware boxes for peace of mind!

[@Greg-be2rr]

Looks so much better already!!

[@Vaniter]

Andy is a legend

[@Rufusgrifffin]

Just found your Channel and I’m loving these videos. I love defenders and you clearly know what you’re doing.

[@gabrielharris5294]

The stickers on the tyres were lined up perfect as it drove out of the workshop… very satisfying

[@patrickmagee3904]

Best of luck with your new defender man, i have an old discovery 2 td5 and would recommend changing the gearbox, transfer box and both diff oils too mate when you go to service everything else 👍

[@SharkeyGEE]

Looks miles better already!

[@chrisaldridge3117]

Welcome to the world of defender mate!

[@liftedandlocked9631]

If your planning on going wading, under the airbox is a little rubber valve which is to let water/mostuire drain out, remove and seal the hole, also your Ecu is under the drivers seat...great place for electrics to get wet !

[@philparr2724]

Andy, if you approached anyone of the specialist Landy parts people, Craddocks, Paddocks, my local one is the LR Centre Liverpool, TD 5 service kits are far cheaper, change the wheel nuts, and Embleton Imperial do a super super led light kit for the dash clocks, but I suggest ringing them and asking to include an extra unit for the speedo as they are a sod to fit, I Use locking forceps.....I'm with you dont really like the bubble raptor, but when its appied finely then its quite nice, PS my big black landy is called Penny

[@lyanryons7355]

paint the crash bars behind the grill just to tidy up the front end that little bit more, will look even more minty fresh 👌

[@danielmarques9278]

This is my new favourite KZbin build 🤩

[@DeimosPC]

I never knew I liked content about off-roaders until now. Love me some solid BQR content.

[@chrislomax8306]

I have subscribed due to the defender :). A good preventative maintenance thing to do for a TD5 is to change the injector seals and washers. Go for OEM tho.

[@ashleywood6408]

Loving the defender, I have had a 3.5 v8 classic range and a discovery both lifted with mud tyres etc! Off-roading is so much fun! You should find your local land rover club and go on a green lane day with them!

[@RaulB7]

I think it's one of the nicest Defenders I've seen in a while! Good job! The BFG KO2s look very nice!

[@peterrrj]

Big up man like Andy, always the highlight of the vid lol

[@tribemilsim-11]

Came home from working on land rovers to watch you work on yours while I eat a curry but yours is better than all the modern ones I work on

[@denholmreynhnolm2586]

New wheels look awesome and so does the defender! Cant wait to see some off-roading vids in the future! Congrats on the new motor Boq

[@TheBrandyandice1]

Good shout changing the grille looks way better now! Keep the vids coming mate 👍🏼

[@witchcraftauto]

Every time I see a vid like this is makes me want to buy one! Luckily these aren't so common in Canada! Nice work on the build.

[@noel5874]

Definitely looks a lot better with all of the changes that you maid, especially that front end.

[@georgeclassick657]

Fully love that there’s a BQR Land Rover series, only issue is that now all I want to do is buy one myself

[@speedy83]

Not a bad piece of fab work that - ways glad to see you using proper PPE too

[@nicfraipont4184]

I put some aircraft aluminium wheel spacers on mine and it really altered stance and look of the vehicle. Like the snorkel, I have a similar one to your old one but the new one looks very cool. I'll buy your winch off you. I've gone back to a standard grill too. They just look more purposeful. Yours looks so much better.

[@702million7]

Huge improvement with the wheels, bumper and grill. OEM headlight surrounds would help too. Surprised you didn't delete the snorkel altogether for a cleaner look. Great truck.

[@nathangalpin3123]

Loving the way the defender is coming along

[@valdostube]

WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN???? Just came across this video by chance (and I've searched and watched loads of defender videos, I'm sure you understand). This was great! Definitely going to subscribe. 👍🏾

[@mikecoleman4927]

Hi, just waiting on a curry. Defender is slick. Remember a mate having one in college and the wind used to whistle through the rust holes in the floor. Good memories although I'm sure we'd have been absolute mince meat in a crash. Maybe one day I'll grab a fixer upper.

I’m literally about to buy a 110 just like this 😂 dare I say. Almost identical. Your channel has been a great find!

I wasn't sure about putting the stock bumper on, but it looks mint!

[@dannymaskell4923]

4:30 - sit on the floor with your legs underneath the car, roll the wheel onto your knees then use your knees to lift it up. So much easier, plus you're not going to hurt your back.

[@alexanderwoolmer7422]

I think getting a hi loft jack is a good idea if you want to go overlanding or road tripping they just attach to the rear and make it easier to change the tyres if you were to get a puncture as a normal jack won't reach a defender.
