Mount ANY ENGINE into a Land Rover Defender - Here's How... || Mahker Weekly EP088

[@tevaughnalleyne]

Beautiful episode, I'm looking forward to a Series 3 build honestly,

[@olifairhead3045]

Great episode can never get too much how to do things features, you asked so could you cover upgraded brakes, the different levels and there performance thank you !

[@pauldent3059]

Battery cars aren't the answer to the world's problems, they are the worst environmental product, defenders on the other hand are the most environmentally friendly vehicle ever produced because over 85% are still around and not thrown away after 9 years like modern cars. Keep saving the planet guys.

[@wearemahker]

Totally agree sir !

[@martinlebel8012]

couldn't agree more!! the funny thing with all that is if they actually wanted to go green as they say.... Henry ford engineered the model T to RUN on alcohol not gasoline you could run it on methanol /alcohol . and Rudolf diesel who invented the diesel engine it was engineered to run on peanut oil! not diesel so honestly if they really wanted to they could but we all know this whole Electric car business is all a bunch of B.S.!! they have zero intention of going green they just want to act like they are and TAX the hell out of us. and has anyone seen the Corbit mines lol Jesus the same people who are telling us we are bad for using gas vehicles are the hypocrites that are feeding the slave corbit mines the same people who need coal power plants to charge there electric cars at night. and they usually are vegetarian's who are eating there avocado's imported from all the way from chilli or South America on a diesel boat in the winter lolol oky I am done Ranting... the ostrich brigade is real.

[@wearemahker]

You should and let us know how it goes

[@grahames9228]

Agree entirely with your thoughts on electric. Long live the combustion engine.

[@wearemahker]

Amen !

[@alansalter1836]

The fuel is the issue so they say It’s not the engine at all

[@philbeehag2996]

Hi. Do you do the weld in plates and engine mounts for an M57 in a Discovery 2. Thanks Phil

[@pgtips6143]

Dave, Do yourself a favour and use a portable fume extraction, as those welding fumes will do your lungs no good mate. Keep up the amazing work 😎👍

[@solantar6912]

Such Great work feelers ,i have a 97 defender 300tdi it is lpg fumigated which is fantastic more toque and hp which all happens in the cylinders ,a catalyst which burns all the fuel at any rpm no black smoke , asking about the upgraded injectors used on the 200tdi as i would like to upgrade mine for quite engine , thanks for any info , from Sydney Australia

[@mortenpietsch3313]

nice one. pls topic vnt turbos for tdi. How is the difference? how does it sound, when does the power come and how much boost can the tdi take?

[@AllodialTitle]

I always wanted a defender with a Jaguar V 12.

[@wearemahker]

Imagine the sound

[@alexhogben]

Hey Dave, have you got anywhere with the B58 swaps?

[@tirabbi1]

Dave you should do welding for a living 😂

[@wearemahker]

I’d love to and find someone to run the business

[@jonowalker5618]

Do your adaptor kits work on a classic Rangie chassis?

[@dreadfulheartnotsoul]

What are you welding with?

[@wearemahker]

Parweld 202

[@112boatman]

Can you supply and fit a galvanised chassis to a discovery 1 300tdi

[@_Drank]

Great video guys, do your m57 mounts allow for an m57n2 to bolt into a tdci with the factory bmw dpf?

[@stephenclarke5454]

Get it juiced and get going . Great quote. You watch when the batteries on these new cars are scrapped they will cause pollution to the environment.

[@wingding028]

what do i want you to cover the bill for doing up my 90 lol

[@hughmurphy5523]

Don’t ever change

[@anthonytubman8696]

How can I order a Kit?

[@wearemahker]

For which engine sir ?

[@anthonytubman8696]

@@wearemahker Ls3 engine I have a 1987 defender 90 with the 2.5L turbo diesel

[@petersimon3856]

I contacted you earlier on your email and you did not get back to me.Nice work.Can you replicate for me a kit for engine and gearbox box mounting for puma 2.4.I upgraded from td5 to puma engine. If possible ,how much.thanks

[@wearemahker]

Hello Sir unfortunately that’s not something we make but from memory the mounts only need Togo back 30-40mm it would be a custom one off job estimate £2000 for a fully bolt in kit thanks Dave.

[@Erroron1]

Another 1st 🎉

[@wearemahker]

Make sure you watch it all the way to the end!!

[@pauligysin]

I think it's such a pity, now you have a fully galvanized chassis, grind around on it until the zinc is gone and then you weld in black unprotected metal sheets and that's where it will rust immediately, especially between the metal sheets !!! If you still want to prevent rusting, you can only treat the inside of the chassis with Mike Sanders cavity protection, because it gets into the smallest cracks and thus protects 100% against corrosion !!!

[@wearemahker]

Unfortunately paul my customer changed his decision on what engine he wanted. So we had to modify. This is not our usual method but some times you do what the customer wants 😎

[@pauligysin]

@@wearemahker Ok, ok but then please with the maximum of rust protection so sandblasted all sheet metal and sprayed with 2K zinc primer and of course the cavity protection with Mike Sanders because of the zinc that was burned from welding. Nevertheless, I would like to emphasize: this is an excellent and very precise work, the only problem is the anti-corrosion protection !!

[@julianchambers8372]

Hi,cock on job with the new mounts.

[@wesleyconn620]
