An Autumn walk around Eaves wood in Silverdale, Lancashire. I decided to create a mini scavenger hunt for the girls to entertain them whilst on a nice wander around the woodland.

You're correct with putting the oring at the base of the thread, the other way doesn't work. Use loctite aviation sealant on thread. Works perfectly, the sealant doesn't dry and stops it coming loose
It was nice to meet Dan, a more intimate side of the person who makes videos about his experience with a Discovery. If you decide to keep this format, congratulations, because, as you say, it's ‘your’ channel and you don't have to just do what others do, that's your freedom. Congratulations from Portugal!
Thank you! I really appreciate this comment!
Hi, what’s the part number for the upgraded rubber bush? I need something similar for my D1 upgraded arms
@@robby.barron hi, they are just standard d2 bushes. There is a bit of work involving fitting though
@@TheNorthernExplorer additional to what was shown in the video? I’m happy to press in new bushes and buy larger diameter bolts etc
@@robby.barron I had to make the hole in the panhard slightly bigger with a Dremel as the bush is slightly bigger
@ I have britpart panhard. Did you measure the internal diameter of your panhard by any chance?
@ mine was britpart too
Well done for learning to weld. Something I fall down on. Carry on, the channel looks okay to me!
Thank you
@@TheNorthernExplorer Merry Christmas!
@ merry Christmas to you too 😀
NO its not allright UA-cam is like all the other in Linie to put us in a strange we all do not want!! I will follow you!! Odysee its a possiblety?? Excuse my English is not the Best
Thank you
More of this. You are dead right about UA-cam. It should be about whatever you want it to be about. Improve the style of videos you enjoy making and I think you will find it very rewarding.
@@nealeford1964 thanks neale, I was a bit apprehensive about posting this but I want to try and include more personality in the videos
Enjoyed that Dan, thanks. Dog, Land Rover chat, beach views and a snapshot of what you're about are welcome! Cheers
@@stuartdenty3163 thank you I really appreciate that
No sh!t
thank you very much for this video is excellent!
@@dariotorres8224 thank you for watching 👍
You so need to come down and go round Salisbury plain..
I do!
Replace bushings in front radius arms and install standard bushing without mid size tube. Make sure your central diff lock housing front shaft output has no wear. otherwise front diff flange will be loose and front shaft will give you vibrations. AFAIR double cardan needs to go to the LT230 and front in line with axle casing. then double compensate angle of LT230 and front is parallel to front axle pinion. Consider going for rubber type coupling on rear diff as it will eliminate any issues with angle on rear and should act as sort of vibration damper.
Thank you, I have done most of them but I think the front axle needs aligning to straighten the prop
Yes. It will cure root cause assuming double cardan will face LT230 (so front prop shaft to be installed opposite). However note bushings on frond radius also matter how it transfer vibrations ( i see you push in double sleeved bushings which is not good) . Double check front flange play on LT230. I know the bearing is with extra float etc. but it needs to be super tight in the end. Otherwise centre diff casing (FTC5207) require replacement as intermediate shaft is loose on the splines.
@@unclesam44 I will align the axle and see if that helps and then maybe change the bushings back to poly and see if that helps. The transfer box is a new one so should be fine on the output. I just need some free time to get on it. Thanks for the tips 👍
You can consider using bushing NTC6781 which has no inner sleeve . it transfers less vibration. Also seen "new" recon transfer boxes where someone didnt want to spend 400GBP for new FTC5207 and it was still having front flange not tight enough.
@@unclesam44 I do have a set of poly bushes that have barely been used so I’ll try them. The transfer box was from Ashcroft so I’d like to think it’s in good condition. I’ll try alignment first and then look further 😀
👍
More of a brown sauce kind of dog I would have said . . . !
Haha she did enjoy the chips 😂
Come on buddy... The Haynes has just 3 pages about the gearbox X) , it doesn´t last a mug of coffe, maybe just a cup of expresso
But don't get me wrong. Your vídeos are excellent. I 'm learning a lot
@@astrobola haha bear in mind I’ve never removed a gearbox before and it’s on the driveway in England 😂
@@astrobola thanks! Glad your enjoying them mate
@@TheNorthernExplorer This year in June I've left my Disco to a mechanic who was supposed to change my gearbox. Today he got it me back, as is, because he says he can't do it. So, I'm learning in the youtube school on how to do it by myself. Sadly i live at the canary islands and I'vent Ashcroft at hand. But I'll follow your videos, and the haynes. A man is a man.
Oh... i'm sorry for my bad english... I mean "sadly I've not Ashcroft at hand". Actually, is not so sad to live at the Canary Islands
Excellent work mate, well done 👏
@@LanesTracksTrails thank you
LOL take a chainsaw next time
@@TheGenxtreme haha this was an unplanned drive
What are you upgrading the little Axe to?
@@jonnyteeee a big axe 😂 Maybe a small battery chainsaw would be handy
Well done mate 👏🏻
@@mykie247 cheers mate
Knew you'd like this!
Who would have thought greenlaning was a form of exercise! Lol.
Haha it was definitely a workout!
nice job!
@@DrewMorv cheers 😂
After watching your video I realized that I installed my rear radius arms upside down.
Ahh I’m glad to have helped 👍
That looks good.
Thanks John 👍
Goodstuff dude!
@@danthetourist thanks Dan
Snug Dan.....
@@stuartdenty3163 just a bit 😂
Great video mate

@@fabrob2363 if I’m honest I would have them turned off but they are on all videos now. The amount of Adsense you get as a small creator isn’t worth the annoyance of ads. So from my side i apologise
I have changed the ad settings in this, hope it’s better 👍
Those white modulars look great and were such a good idea! I know exactly who's disco this is when I see the thumbnail! 👏
@@Final_Drive thank you! Yeah I’m really happy with them. Though I think I’ll get a professional to paint them next time 🤦♂️
RAD!
How wide would you say your rims are?? Hello from the United States.
@@davidmorgan7540 hi David, I’ve just measured them and the rims are 9 inches wide from inside rim to outside. They are classed as an 8j hope this helps
Is yours manual or auto?
@@konigchris4884 mine is a manual
Looks great mate. The load sharing is healthy for the truck when operating. Yellow would look cool, but for stealthiness, lol, black would do fine :)
thank you! im not sure if i want stealth or yellowiness :)
Good work. Using a bridle to equalise load is very underrated!
Thanks David 😀
