Taking the 1991 Range Rover engine, transmission and transfer case out in one piece

[@grahamsmith2039]

I can never understand why people give videos a thumbs down, great job mike, not an easy task for one man , looking forward to seeing more on this project 👍🏻

[@dragon4r4]

Was just thinking the same, how can someone dislike this video? Clearly that person has never done a difficult job on a car or used any initiative. Great video Mike and we'll done managing that lump on your own and making it look so easy

[@BritannicaRestorations]

Funny eh? 53,000 thumbs up and 480 down ( mostly from the same person) However 1.16 million minutes a month viewed is not bad At least people are getting confident to tackle jobs with my help = and that means a lot! I am always here for guidance Mike

Love the Yorkshire Wit Mike. Well done

I felt so much better when you said "I spent all day yesterday pulling apart the insides" as I thought I might have been missing something with a 12 min 10 sec video on removal of motor and gearbox! I spent most of yesterday removing prop shafts etc for same process on a hoist, with the major extraction yet to be performed! Good to see the angle of which you need to achieve to remove unit without destroying transmission hump and front radiator support...no rust on the chassis etc on the D1 i'm working on - it has the unique "land rover external lubrication" system of rust prevention coupled with no salt on the roads! Shame about customer insistence on the colour black! - Madness!

[@BritannicaRestorations]

Thanks! I think it is going to be Westminster grey!

[@tengkuwong9163]

Only those who had operated de fork lift my himself alone knows de hardship.keep it up mike love to watch your video. Is educative n informative.😍

[@johndiaz7240]

Well done ,you are one hard working gentleman.

[@BritannicaRestorations]

I have to bust a gut to get money in for winter!

[@craig_chaznibond452]

It's quite a surprise how long the whole assembly was once you lifted it out. Nicely done sir!

[@BritannicaRestorations]

With a bit of planning they are not bad to do - pity the didn't have the bolt in slam panel any more

[@harveysmith100]

Nicely done Mike. If I didn't know better I would swear you have done that before. That is a long old unit on Land Rovers. The hand brake stuck on the end makes it just that bit harder. Orange it is then

[@BritannicaRestorations]

I have done one or two! The V8's are bugger to get out as you cannot get to the top bolts on the bell housing and then it is a royal fanny about to disconnect the torque converter This engine was buggered Actually the hand brake makes a nice counter balance I pressed the top of the evap chamber near the washer bottle but no big deal - an extra pair of hands / eyes is nice to have! I think it is now going to be Westminster grey!

[@machiningbasics1729]

Marvellous!!! I would do this with the stage 1 when I change the chassis but it would probably snap it’s that bad !! Grand stuff

[@BritannicaRestorations]

This method is a variation on a theme When I worked in shops with a pit, you could drop the rear down and pull them out vertically and roll the vehicle back This is why I lift up the back As they Haynes book says, replacement is the opposite of removal! Mike

[@888johnmac]

that is a huge lump, nicely removed sir

[@BritannicaRestorations]

And for my next trick!......

[@williamparry9314]

Jeez, I do hope it does not have to go back in the same way. fair play nice removal. It is much harder to do this type of work on your own. Hope everything goes well. As for the colour what about a nice metal flake mineral blue.

[@BritannicaRestorations]

Yeap same way!

[@therealmarkiemark]

Mike, I'm new to your channel but I'd like to say a huge thanks for your videos. It's a shame theres not more people out there like you. I don't know the history of this RR but it looks like a Heinz 57 of a car. The door shuts and slam panel are Matt black but the interior looks like its from a later car. Have you ever thought of doing a video about how you got into working on Land Rovers.

[@BritannicaRestorations]

Riki It is an original car but someone has painted it with spray cans One day I will do a video on me! Mike

[@abuhamza1970]

Well done Mike, you made that look so easy even though we all know it isn’t. Been thinking, does the TDV8 from the L322 fit in this chassis? Might give the customer what she’s looking for in terms of economy but in keeping with the V8 nature of the original lump.

[@BritannicaRestorations]

too complicated to fit and none here

Rust free any day! My 94 LWB has been a cali car it's whole life - No issues at all undoing anything (so far)!

[@bmc1569]

Good job!¡ last year i change the clutch of a 3.5 range, on the floor without lift and anithing... and it was a nightmare... i will never goin to change another. I need some tricks to take out a 300 tdi, hope that you make a video expalining some triks.

[@BritannicaRestorations]

Clutches are easy! On the 300Tdi I take the motor out and leave the box in BUT I remove the motor mounts off the block - a dream to put back in!

[@bmc1569]

@@BritannicaRestorations you say that i have to take it out with the motor mounts on the blok. Okeyy thank you is a bit hard because i havent got much space in the top on the motor. It almost hit the wiopers location ( i dont know how is it in english)

[@BritannicaRestorations]

Your English is good! I have taken clutches out of 300's by just supporting the motor, mounts off and pull forwards - bit tight, but you can do it off a tree branch (don't ask!)

[@bmc1569]

Westminster grey is the choice now!

[@jamesprosser6766]

Hi Mike I plan to copy you on this but to install. Did you lower or remove the anti roll bar or would you recommend I do? Thank you James

[@BritannicaRestorations]

You would be wise to remove it

[@jamesprosser6766]

@BritannicaRestorations thanks Mike.

[@BritannicaRestorations]

Don't forget to remove the gearbox mounts!

[@jamesprosser6766]

@BritannicaRestorations thanks! I would have tried it with them on if you hadn't mentioned it.

[@BritannicaRestorations]

There are several types of diff lock levers - if you have a long one then you may have to remove it to make life easier

[@davidwoods80]

Wow! Lots of progress since the previous video. Was half expecting a GMC Jimmy-style body removal for chassis detailing / mods, but since it's so clean I guess that wouldn't make sense, LOL! Owner still set on a 300Tdi?

[@BritannicaRestorations]

I think I have a lead on a 300 Tdi auto set up in the UK - may ship the whole truck over hey Dave - those bolts had mud on the threads no rust! Almost 30 years old!

[@lrdisco2005]

I was thinking, buy some more containers and stack on top of existing ones, with a gantry in front of door, use forks to lift stock up then hand ball in. Think of all the extra spares storage!

[@BritannicaRestorations]

Think of the problems with the council!

[@FluteSeeker]

I just wish you lived a little closer

I agree Mike rust free is much better, no hassle getting rusty bolts out ( ie suspension bolts a nightmare)

Seems strange that a Good Body/Chassis got stripped out !! Looks a decent basis for a Re-build !! But if Customer wants a TDI Tell him to Go Forth and Purchase a Disco 1 or 2 !! DO NOT DEFACE A RANGE ROVER CLASSIC WITH A ORRIBLE SOUNDING TDI
