Removing and Repairing my Land Rover's Gearbox

In this video I am giving my 1962 Land Rover a proper introduction and removing it's gearbox to investigate an oil leak.

Ah KZbin algorithm, you've accidentally recommended something relevant to me for once. I stumbled across this video and absolutely love it as a Land rover series lover/owner myself. Love the style of video, please more videos like this

Hi William. Always a pleasure to hear from people who enjoy my videos. Thanks for watching 👍🏻

I had my Series 3 gearbox refurbed and replaced in 2020 by some professionals who made a right mess of the job. Broke a wing mirror. Lost the Hi-lo knob. Didn't replace the 2/4WD selector lever spring. Reconnected the fuel gauge wrong. Two weeks later I lost all drive, jiggle jiggle, managed to get low range engaged and limped home. They took it back and spent six weeks fixing it up - but in their favour the boss did sack the bloke who did the work. Its back with a proper vintage resto firm this year getting the engine, bodywork, and chassis sorted out. It'll be 40 next year... Happy trails!

Great video Dudley. Subscribed. Would love to see more videos of work on your Land Rover. Keep up the good work.

[@TheSvenusa]

Nice video, thanks for putting it together ! My gearbox and transfer case leak from pretty much everywhere, so am considering pulling it out to reseal this winter..

[@markspriggs2077]

Absolutely brilliant! Thanks Dudley for a very informative video. For any novice mechanics like myself, this is a MUST view as Dudley does some easy to understand commentary with great shots of what he’s doing. Thanks 👍🏻

[@dudleyhewett7211]

Thanks very much! Glad you enjoyed it👍🏻

[@dalimourad9323]

[@kekar777]

Very interesting approach on removing the top side to check your gearbox 🤔

[@cortijodebracanas]

I think you are brilliant doing a job like that. Well done!!

[@cameronmurie]

I am about to start re-assembling a series (again) - I was watching a few videos to refresh my memory - This story you have posted is Epic. A lot of fun, and very informative. Well done, seriously. CM. South Africa.

Enjoyed that thankyou. Really liked the presentation. That's an awesome landy. I too just picked up a bargain 88' 67 landy that was meant for a scrapper.

Great video. Love how you took out all the swearing during your repair ;) Cheers

[@dudleyhewett7211]

Cheers! Yes, The video was carefully edited to give the impression of a stress free repair.... Which it wasn’t. Thanks for watching 👍🏻

[@TheUnclestein]

My landy has some of those ali panels with the green tint

[@dudleyhewett7211]

Could be a military wing. Mine has one on the divers side front. Thanks for watching

[@omazinger]

What a great video man !..Thanks a lot...even I (english isn´t my mother language) did undestand you pretty well. Thank you very much. I have a Series III Santana 88" from 1.978. Your land rover is a beauty, congratulations and Cheers !

[@MitchMakes]

Great video, thanks

[@dudleyhewett7211]

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks very much for watching 👍🏻

[@highdownmartin]

Very nice Landy mate. Like the dark grey, all lot of mine is gloss black underneath ( thrown oil from the back diff!) Working your way through all the components takes quite a while, but it just gets better. Amazing how shagged they can be and still go. Hence the reputation old rovers have I suppose. It’s certainly not how they CAN be, so long as you don’t expect them to be radically different from the design parameters, they’re bloody brilliant Good work

[@dudleyhewett7211]

Thanks Very much! Glad you enjoyed the video. Yep, old Landy’s are awesome fun if you except them for what they are. Mine still needs plenty doing to it. It’ll never be finished. Thanks for watching 👍🏻

[@TheRetroSeries2a]

enjoyed that fella! your editing is spot on!!

[@dudleyhewett7211]

Thanks very much! Takes so much more time getting all the extra shots but I think it’s worth the time. Thanks for watching 👍🏻

[@vernonmeyer5261]

I have the same yr and had to do the same job on mine a few yrs. back. It seem like it took forever, no power tools.I hope I never have to do that again, Im too old for that.

[@johannakispal3614]

It’s like a huge lego kit 😉

[@dudleyhewett7211]

Never too old for Lego 👍🏻

[@poacher9118]

I can see your channel getting very popular! Great bud

[@dudleyhewett7211]

Thanks very much! Can’t believe how many views my last video is getting. Should have another one ready next week. Thanks for watching 👍🏻

[@budycelyn]

about to start a full strip down to fit a new chassis, wiring loom and "repaired" bulkhead to my series 3, I'm hoping for it to go well rather than snapping every bolt i try to remove,

[@dudleyhewett7211]

Excellent! Best of luck with it and thanks for watching 👍🏻

Hey mate i m very happy for you really i m i know what kind of work is that

[@dudleyhewett7211]

Thanks very much. The video makes it look easy. Glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻

[@ManfredGorgus]

I love the seat-story: old peole mobility turned into young kids electric toys by their father who the uses the seats for his daddy land rover toy.

[@HeinerStorchennest1]

Well done. Can you tell the colour code ( dark grey), perhaps even in terms of RAL, pls. Regards Heinz

[@agenciaextremo9266]

new or old spare parts for gearbox my friend. which is better?

[@greenlabelseries]

Hey I’m trying to remove my S3 gearbox assembly like yours but mine is a pain to shift back off the flywheel housing :( any advice

[@mattswan7710]

Hi Dudley thanks for a great video! ... just starting a full strip down of my new ! 51 year old series 2a swb landrover ... becoming self taught but ever attempted anything like it ! Would you mind letting me know who shotblasted and galvanised your chassis and bulkhead . Cheers Matt

[@dudleyhewett7211]

Thanks very much Matt. The chassis work was done by Decorrosion Services Limited, Littleton Lane, Shepperton. I actually made a mistake in the video, the chassis was hot-zink sprayed rather than galvanised and they did a beautiful job. Glad you enjoyed the video 👍🏻

[@mattswan7710]

@@dudleyhewett7211 many thanks Dudley .. off to buy a pillar drill 🙈

[@highdownmartin]

Hi Matt. You know what they say..... Land Rover. Turning drivers into mechanics since 1948..

[@kaspermolich1972]

Hi Dudley, Great content:-) Got a S3 from 1979 i am restoring. What brand wire loom did you get?

[@dudleyhewett7211]

Hi Kasper. I used an AutoSparks loom. I think it cost about £230 and was worth every penny. It was very well made and had all the correct connectors on it. Thanks for watching 👍🏻

[@doransignal]

These used in England must be fairly reasonable to buy and fix up. I found a few in the United States but they where like 40 to 80k way too much.

[@dudleyhewett7211]

Old Land Rovers are very easy to find in the uk. Even the worst condition ones are now worth around £1,000 with a registration. I only paid £250 for mine. It cost £3,000 and took three years to rebuild but it’s worth around £8,000 today. The finest examples can be £40,000 but they’re too perfect and shiny. I like mine the way it is. Thanks for watching 👍🏻

[@doransignal]

@@dudleyhewett7211 even the few old minis (not the bmw) ones in terrible condition are like 10K usd.
