Hey! Thanks for the comment. Yeah I wouldn’t bother rebuilding them if decent aftermarket replacements were available. Unfortunately they aren’t so we’ve got to take our chances. They’re not to bad if you take your time doing them though. Thanks for watching. I’m really glad you enjoyed it👍

Hi, thanks for the comment. I’m really glad you enjoyed the video👍😁

🤣🤣🤣 there is nothing better than the kindness of strangers. I really appreciate you sending over that adapter…at the very least it told me that I need to work on my 3d drawing and printing skills🤣 Yeah I think I’m going to stick with the one I made. I just hope it clears the reinforcements on the bonnet🤞it’s not a big deal if it doesn’t as it will be easy to modify or make a new one. Let me know how you get on if you have a go at making one yourself.

Hi, Thanks for the comment!! Yeah it’s getting there!! It’s actually coming along a lot faster than what I had hoped. It’s been great having James helping…it’s great when they get to that age where they can start to participate in shed stuff😁 Really glad to hear you’re enjoying the series so far👍

Hi, Thanks for the comment. Really glad to hear you’re enjoying the channel. It really makes it worthwhile hearing that👍

Hi, Thanks for the kind comment👍 🤣 my knowledge came from years of making mistakes…I still make the mistakes and I’m still learning. I did actually consider going electric with it when I first got it. It might still be something that I might look into in the future but while I can still get petrol easily and because I live in a very rural area and would need a large range to get anywhere. I’ll stick with the old internal combustion engine for a bit longer. Thanks for watching🙂

Hey! Thanks for your comment. I’m really pleased you found it helpful even if you’re not planning to rebuild it yourself. That was the point of the video…to either let folk decide yes I can have a go at that or to decide nope it’s not for me. Wow 30 years sitting is a long time. Hopefully it was under cover. Mine sat for 15 years outside which didn’t do it any favours, it still started up and ran fine with minimal effort which I was surprised at. Good luck with your rebuild!! I wish you all the best👍

Thanks you!🙂

Thank you! Yep unfortunately everything is wallet permitting and unfortunately everything has been over budget so far🤦‍♂️🤣

Thanks for watching!

Thanks 👍 yeah that’s what I thought. Just get it done right and at least I know I’ll have a good engine. It’s great to know where in the world folk are watching 😁

Thanks!

Hi, Thanks for your comment. Get in touch with Maer. I believe they ship their chassis worldwide. I’m sure they would be happy to help you out.

@@RetroModified Thank you very much for the information. Nice to know you here.

Hi, If you’re just doing the swivels and not bearings then it really won’t take that long. I think I could do just a pair of swivels in an afternoon. However that does depend on lots of things… The tools you have available. I’ve got a well kitted out garage and still struggle for the right tool sometimes. The parts you have available. If it’s your only vehicle then you need to be 100% sure you’ve got everything before you start. The swivels kit don’t have everything you need. I can’t remember exactly what was missing from the kits but there was something. Possibly a gasket. Shims, order more because the kits don’t have enough and they’re cheap. And be prepared for the unexpected. You could pull the hubs apart and find the UJ’s in the shafts are worn. So waiting on part turning up to fix stuff like that can delay things. And if the budget can stretch far enough order up new nuts and bolts. Personally I prefer to go with new old stock genuine Land Rover if I can find them.

Hi yes of course there will be a next part.

The tyres are 245/75r16

Hi, The wheels are Britpart wheels. 16x8” . Part number DA2694

Hi, Thanks for your comment. I’m really glad you’re enjoying the series😁 I do love my garage. It’s where I spend most of my time. It definitely keeps me out of trouble🤣 A 109!! Nice!! I was after a 109 originally but this 88 came up at a great price literally right next door to me so I had to buy it. I might look for a 109 once this one is done. Good luck with your project!!

Hi, Thanks for your comment. The wheels and tyre tread are within the wheel arches front and rear. The only part that does stick out past the arches are the tyre sidewalls. I don’t know for sure if the wheels will clear the bodywork when off-roading as the old suspension had rusted up solid and was not giving any suspension travel at all. For the turning circle unfortunately I can’t comment on how they compare with standard wheels as I never drove it on its standard wheels but it does turn fine and the steering isn’t to heavy. Happy new year!

@@RetroModified Thanks for the quick response. Happy New Year, too. Heinz

Hi, thanks for your comment. I’m just using a cheap pipe bender like this one www.ac-one.co.uk/mastercool-4-in-1-tube-bender-316-14-516-38-180-17586-p.asp?gclid=EAIaIQobChMImdrEhfKVggMV1evtCh1maA1NEAQYAiABEgKwk_D_BwE which will give you a nice bend up to 180 degrees. For any larger radius bends I just bent it round a large socket.

Hi, thanks for your comment. It’s good to hear from someone who has a 2.5L in a series. Unfortunately you hear lots of different things about these engines…good and bad. Nice to hear it has plenty of power for a series.

I gave it to some guy with a big ginger beard in exchange for a van.

The old Range Rover is known for blowing out a front tire....then sorta cartwheeling afterward because of the height of the car This is symptomatic with the British car industry....come up with innovative designs and not sorting out the final stuff. (It originates from the oligarchy which controls Britain....theyre looking for a fat buck rather than long term planning.....it enabled the Japanese to outclass Land Rover and steal the market...which is very difficult to claw back.
