Amazing view frozen lake Sweden - 5000 miles in 10 days
I found this little gem on my 5000 miles in 10 days Arctic Circle challenge. An amazing place, with an amazing view. The services in Sweden are second to none, driving across this frozen lake was the most amazing experience. I drove my land rover defender from London to Norway on a 5000 mile road trip across France, Belgium, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Norway and completed a tour of the Arctic Circle. On route I found this frozen lake and stopped to take a brake.

Bonnet Insulation Land Rover Defender

I teamed up with @theyellowdefender6433 to help with his Defenders bonnet insulation and sound deadening, to help sound proof his defender engine bay. The Land Rover Defender is notoriously noisy and to help reduce the noise coming from the engine bay you can install sounding proofing as bonnet insulation to reduce the noise of the engine coming into the cab. We installed 1" thick insulation to...

    I would've loved to have done this. Sadly my Defender 90 was recently stolen. Thankfully it was recovered a few days later but I'm still yet to see it for myself and assess the condition. Perhaps a 2026 trip could be a go'er. I don't think the long driving days would've bothered me as I did North Hampshire to Fort William via Edinburgh just over a month ago in one day to do the famous NC500, and that was about 13 hours with the odd fuel stop and toilet break. Best of luck to you and to everybody that tags along. Sounds like an absolutely epic trip.

    S agissant des cardans, il faut acheter roulements et croisillons de cardans provenant de marques connues comme SKF ou Timken. Si vous achetez de la piece adaptable ou d origine, vous aurez une qualité inferieure aux deux marques precedentes. En outre, chaque croisillon de cardans doit pouvoir etre graisse avec un graisseur central, mais aussi deux graisseurs lateraux montes sur les chapeaux de croisillon. Ce faisant, le graissage du croisillon est complet et uniforme. Certains disent qu il faut faire un tour au cardan apres chaque graisseur, mais je pense que c est inutile. Ce principe de graissage est important pour les vehicules soumis à de fortes sollicitations en agricole, donc c est encore vrai pour le 4x4. Si vous ne faites que de la route, faire que le graisseur central du croisillon est suffisant. Dans cette video, le nouveau cardan comporte deux croisillons de cardans avec un graisseur central unique: c'est une grave erreur.

    Yes, mine busted on a roundabout when it was under a year old, waited for LR recovery, got bored, walked to a store, bought some spanners, was just throwing it in the back when LR recovery arrived, he looked at it, said there was no sign of it ever being greased, and left, drove around for months before i got it replaced
