"Ahh bollox", love it. Just subbed a week ago and started binging on the resto last evening. Excellent.

[@pb9625]

Thanks for sharing. I'm really enjoying the all your videos. You have a very watchable style of presenting and they're really entertaining. The blacksmithing is very interesting and the Lanny rebirth is good and informative. Keep the videos coming

[@maximusironthumper]

RE easystart comments. A mate told me about his mates landy. It had a hole in the bulkhead on the passenger side so you spray easystart into the inlet manifold without leaving the drivers seat!

[@gonesailing]

It might be helpful to throw some of your spare wheels in the land rover to lower it on the springs to enter and leave your workshop. Keep up the excellent videos. 😀

[@maximusironthumper]

Thank you, plenty more videos to come, I'm v glad some people out there are enjoying them. See part 10 for my solution to the height issue!

[@scopex2749]

Its amazing with any car thats ‘dry’ (no fuel, water or engine) the springs relax slowly and they grow!

[@mylesmooney7505]

Have a whiskey 🥃 mate ! Make it an Irish ☘️ one 😆

[@danjones9999]

I was shouting at you to stand on the tow ball!

[@jeroenminderman]

This cracked me up. "Come on brain"... :) Excellent videos dude, really enjoying this.

[@glennpettersson9002]

I remember the story of the truck stuck under a bridge and the little boy who said " let some air out of the tyres".

[@Aidan.17]

5:51 if you pump up them tyres she aint coming back out haha

[@mylesmooney7505]

Legend!

[@atman5230]

That hydraulic engine table...perhaps it needs bleeding or is there a leak?.Try that and then it might not suddenly drop down and it may start working properly.Keep up the good pace and enthusiasm for the series 2a.All the best.

[@trickcyclists]

Maybe the red lead has worked like Oil of Ulay on a woman... you've made the thing younger and taller !! :-)

[@twentysevenlitres]

Nulon in Australia make a starting fluid which is aptly named "Start Ya Bastard"!!

[@danielclark8428]

Great work one thing i would do is chang most of the bolts to galvanised but thats just me

[@davidbutler4363]

I would say don't tear that Range Rover apart for the 200TDi, as a late (very late) model classic with presumably the factory diesel it is a rather desirable vehicle and would be well worth restoring for a Range Rover classic fan. I've always wondered how the 6-cylinder BMW turbo diesel used in the P38 Range Rover would go in a Landy, I understand people are putting them in Discoveries without too much difficulty which suggests they should fit in a Series Landy too...

[@plumbteam]

gosportjamie agreed. I didn't realise they did a 200tdi Range Rover

[@gosportjamie]

+Sebastian Hibbert Yes, they did. Land-Rover replaced the VM turbo diesel for the in-house 200TDi in about '92 or '93 though they were always pretty rare in the UK as with all factory diesel Range Rovers as an awful lot of new ones were bought by the very comfortably off who didn't see diesel as being appropriate power for a posh set of wheels, though they were incredibly popular in other markets where it is almost impossible to find a factory V8. How times change, now in the UK it is almost impossible to find a new petrol Range Rover that isn't registered to Land-Rover...

[@plumbteam]

gosportjamie I can't think of a vehicle I would like to own more than that. Simplicity, strength, towing ability and comfort. I used to buy old vogue classics and export them to Norway. Back then a decent one was £500 as no one wanted them. Wish I had a few now.

[@gosportjamie]

Yes, you could even get them as factory automatics like with the Discovery. They were pretty good right out of the box though they were definitely not fast. I wish I'd had the balls to buy a Range Rover when they were cheap but I always scared myself off. I don't think anyone predicted how nuts the values of early Range Rovers would go and how high that would force the prices of later cars. I bet there are a lot of people who are saying exactly the same as you are...

[@diggerwheels7839]

Let's see the more parts you cut off the liter it gets so.......!

[@Dominic.Minischetti]

I bet you would raise the header on the door 12 inches if you could do it again!

[@twocvbloke]

"Door frame" perhaps? :D

[@gramursowanfaborden5820]

it was getting higher cause there was less weight in it!

[@aryanscience]

Let some air out of the tyres....Oh you did later on !!

[@ralfrisberg8009]

Never rev a cold dieselengine like that , it broke my heart when you did it !

[@Garrett053]

That is no problem for a engine. The combustion pressure is already beating away on the engine parts, it does not matter if it does so a little faster. Just heats up faster.

[@borisjohnson1944]

My mechanic mate calls Aerostart, heroin for cars.

[@nw8000]

Take some air out of the tyers dude.....
