The Porsche 356 will be back soon!!! I am waiting for more panels to arrive from Trevors hammer works, they will be here soon! until then, what shall we play with next?!
I came for the Porsche, but I stayed for the Dom. Always enjoy your vids, no matter what you’re working on. 😊👍👍
Ditto 😮
Was going to ask about the Porsche dom must have read my mind lol
Dom let’s get an update on the Triumph 🛵
Likewise
Land Rover, turning owners into mechanics since 1948 😊
Welcome to the fold Dom
I first came here purely for the Porsche 356 rebuild. Then I came here for the VW Beetle. Then I came here for the VW van. Then I came here for Triumph. Then I came here for the Ranalah. Then I came here for the oversized Spanner. Then I came here for the random visits to the most accomplished artisans that you showcase.
Then I realised that I actually came here for your (and John’s) most entertaining dialogue as you guys attempt to fix broken s#!t 🤣.
Seriously though, I truly appreciate you sharing your passion 🙏
Hi Dom, I live in Huddersfield and my son is the parts manager at the Land Rover Centre, but I am thinking you got the parts via a different Land Rover Centre? There are probably lots up and down the country. Anyhow, you've gone and done it now to be sure. In my humble opinion, all Land Rovers, irrespective of model, are for people who really want one, love them to bits, and are not a bit bothered by how many times they break and how much it costs to fix them. At least you and John are a pretty capable team, so labour may not be an issue, but parts are just horrendously expensive for what they are. Some of the repair bills my son tells me about would make your eyes water, but people pay them because they love their vehicles.
Hi Dom, I was always taught when bleeding brakes, to start with the wheel furthest away from the master cylinder and work towards it. I also can remember when Land Rovers were well built, simple and reliable!
That helps if you save time (and fluid) are flushing out the old but Dom had done that already by driving about!
Anything after the 200 Tdi is going to be progressively more difficult to fix
That was the way I was taught, the longest line away from the master cylinder. It worked anyway which is the important bit - another enjoyable video 👍
As a bike enthusiast, I would like to see you make a start on restoring one of the machines you already have. I enjoyed the Triumph build but would prefer to see a non-customised restoration, preferably the older bike rather than the A10, although I'm sure that it would be easier to get any parts needed for that one. I also know that you like a "well used" look, but I would like to see you try to do a full-on concours restoration. At the end of the day though, they are your machines and you are entitled to do with them what you will.
Another thought is that I have really enjoyed watching youtube videos about Cyclecarts. They look real fun and I'm sure that you and John could have a great time choosing a design and building one. Not too expensive, a super community of enthusiasts and a project that would ideally fit your combined skill sets. Making a body for a suitable Cyclecart would also enable you to practise some panel forming on your Ranalaghs.
Best wishes.
Good tip, for any car; ABS pump is a mechanical device, needs to be used periodically. I always test it every few months by ramming the brakes on in a safe place, eg coming to a stop on a straight road expecting a pull to a left or right. Get the pump working so you know it works in a controlled environment, so,you know it works when you need it.
Snow & ice here in Norway so abs was a revalation wish I had that on my Cortina mk1 when I slid into the wall of a police station😂
Ah ! The I think it’s that bit that’s faulty
land rover game…….an expensive lark 😮
Hi Dom, I recerecently discovered your channel. Welcome to Defender ownership. I bought my first, a 1999 300 Tdi about 12 years ago, other than a new chassis it has been trouble free. I also bought a 110 TDCi last September, it is the same age as your 90. So far the only issue has been a new Starter Motor that at was covered under warranty from the garage I bought it from. Good luck and enjoy, don’t forget to wave to other Defender drivers!
Very nice bit of detective work there, Dom. Only one problem, the vehicle is still unroadworthy! You forgot to fix the horn!
Dom is like, “Oh, great I have a new car!” John is like, “Oh, great, :( a new project!” John is truly a great friend! Thanks for the content guys!
Pretty much!
John is the brains 🧠 and Dom the beauty
Everyone needs a John in their lives!
Or an alllen millyard
Nice Landy Dom, been down the exact same route with a 2006 Defender, one with the Transit engine ( Puma) . After replacing everything I found it was the ABS pump..£3k quoted by the main dealer! Like you a second hand one did the job...but they are really hard to find. Enjoy your new truck...with John's help of course! Cheers Steve
I love watching you and John ‘work’ / ‘banter’ together, you make a great team and your personalities just complement each other. More great content and so much fun, keep up the great work.
Thanks so much!
I absolutely appreciate the way the both of you work together! There is so much positivity in you guys being together and on this channel anyway - very relaxing :)
Well done John and Dom, triumphed again. Thanks for the video.👍👍
Love my Defender 110 County SW, Dom - had it from new and 30 year anniversary this September. Never had any brake system issues - apart from the usual changing the pads....good luck with your 90....
My old girl has just turned 50 , at 85km/h don’t need abs .
Good that you found a second hand ABS unit. Imagine if that was my vehicle with the same problem in outback Australia. It would be stuck in a garage somewhere for weeks or months even! I understand why people are attracted to Land Rovers but it is not based on logic or common sense. Having said that this was an enjoyable video.👍
Love my Defender when it's working! It hasn't broken down since I stuck the Ranalah stickers in, though!
Very lucky on the ABS: I was working as Line Side Support Engineer at Tata Motors and, on occasion, got called to re-pair various modules (ABS, Instrument Cluster, Traction Battery and various driveline parts) and this required not only the Line Side commissioning tool but also knowledge of which byte in the main ECU to reset to allow pairing as the security system was setup to only allow pairing once, i.e., during initial vehicle build.
About 15-20 yrs ago, I went out to buy a 4x4. The plan was: a 110 Defender. In the late '90s, my wife was a professional user of 4x4s when she worked for NGOs in Afghanistan and Nigeria, driving around in (armoured) Troopies. She told me: "Yes buy one, but I only want a 4x4 with Land Cruiser on the bonnet on the driveway!" The only time she vetoed my car-buying adventures. And yes, there's a 20+ yr old lump of Japanese iron in the barn these days. Nearly 450k km without troubles...
Landcruiser Amazon 80 series , 4.2 straight six , manual , triple diff locks the finest 4x4 ever to come of a production line .Followed by every other series of Landcruiser ..👍
I drove around on the edges of the Rub al Khali in a Land cruisers back in the early 80's. they were SWB straight 6 cylinder petrol 4.666 litre engines. Absolutely bullet proof vehicle, and as I was always driving on my own and map reading as well, miles from civilization and tarmac, in the height of the Saudi Arabian summers, the reliability of these Toyotas probably saved my life. The few land rovers that were on the fleet were always with issues, and even when mechanically reliable, suspension parts were wearing out and even breaking, being light weight in compassion to their Land Cruiser brethren.
@@richardcole9558 and yet you very rarely see them off road or even in a muddy field anywhere in the UK, and on the odd occasion they do venture in that direction, they have to be towed out by a kindly Land Rover owner…❤Defenders…especially my 110 Wolf !
What is it the Australians say? "If you want to drive into the outback take a Land Rover, if you want to get back take a Land Cruiser".
@@nigelbarratt6825and we all take note of what Australians say, right? The absolute truth is that Land Rover have been building the best off-road cars since the end of WW2 and now have an enviable legacy of World firsts that are undeniable and with a loyal following that other brands can only dream of.
Nice work Dom and John. Would be nice to see you both restoring an old Landrover Series model.
Love it and I could almost smell John burning as Dom said “slide it right in there John”. 😅. Well done lads, thank you. Cheers
Hi Dom' and hello Jon . Wow ! Talk about dodging the bullet !!!!! Well done ! So how much cheaper was this ? I guess you bought this at the right price because of the fault ? Cheers !
Just like watching Matt Armstrong 😂 well done guys. Love seeing your videos pop up.
Jon is the best, everybody needs a Jon, many thanks to you both 😊
At least the most imprtant and most used part of the Rand Lover works .... the bonnet release cable. Welcome to the Solihull Bonnets Up Club.
Enough of that now... glad to hear its back to the 356 soon.
Excellent viewing as always - but did you fix the horn? 😅
Haha that may have to be done in another video!
Another brilliant episode Dom and John. Better than a murder mystery.
Thank you, I think Jon wanted to kill me after that day! Haha
Great stuff, love watching you guys struggle. My series 2 doesn't have those problems. Old school braking and proper driving.
Had to change mine on my 02 Defender. Had to take wing off. Replaced it with a 2nd had Disco one. They are a direct replacement, just ignore the sticker that says which pipe goes where!
Top job Dom & John that looks a really nice Land Rover that will be good for the journey to Repair Shop.
Take care to you both.
Excellent - so glad after the espresso machine defender that you now have your own.
great video Dom....well done on the 100k subscribers too
Next project? The aero engined racer/hill-climber? You know you want to. You’ve got the itch… time to scratch it.
Once I can find the chassis! They are hard to find
You can get replacement shuttle valve for the abs unit if its the same as the TD5 Discovery unit only about £40 ish
I'm still waiting to hear that Porsche come clattering into life. A pal of mine used to have a rather aged 911, which I named Clara Clatterbucket because of the sound. 😆 I also read an article about the old 4-cylinder version which the author described as "sounding like an accident in a saucepan cupboard".
Land rovers are great! They make youwant to explore new places ... if only to search for new parts!!! LoL
Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦
100k subscribers! Yay!
I've only ever used a rubber pipe with a valve in the end single handed. never had an issue. Also many years ago you could buy replacement bleed nipples with a built in valve, seemed like a great idea to me.
You will learn so much from a Land Rover I have 5!
5!! Wow!
@@DominicChineas Ive rebuilt series 3's for the last 30 years for a living
That is a lovely Defender Dom . . glad you and John got it working properly . . looking forward to more progress on the 356.
Great video, your both brilliant at what you achieve. Keep them coming.
Used a pressure bleeder on my Mini R53 when I swapped over braided stainless steel brake fluid lines at the calipers. Made the job easier, cleaner and faster than the old press the pedal method. Plus I was able to do it solo so I didn't mentally scar my brake pedal assistant for life when things would go sideways on the old school method.
I used to help my cousin John with his Land Rover County project......we both gave up before losing the will to live, I still have my 2009 Defender. ABS still works.
Top tip. The abs pump for the 2.4 is the same as the td5 discovery. Even though the ports are labelled differently, so long as you connect the pipes in the same order and position as the original, they work exactly the same. As a result I have a reconditioned abs pump in the shed that I’d bought thinking the disco one would never work.
Your kidding, really!! Thank you so much for sharing the info, wish I knew that sooner!
@@DominicChineas I was thinking the same when I paid £400 for a recon🤣
This is very worrisome. Last fall, as were leaving our summer place, I found the brake reservoir on my ‘98 Discovery empty. I pressurized with a brake bleeder and it gushed out of somewhere on the firewall but I had no time to investigate further.
You can get can get some wabco spares from LR parts suppliers. Looks similar to the unit in a Disco 2. Suggest you also invest in a Nanocom, makes fault finding and resetting of electronics and bleeding a whole lot easier.
Hi dom, still loving the content and the variety of projects, but, your new brake bleeding toy is not new, being a child from the late 50's I still have my Gunsons easy bleed and I'm still using it, I recently single handedly bled the clutch on my 1960 948 triumph herald.
Its virtually the same as your new tool ,the only difference is that you pressurise the system using your spare tyre. They still pop up for sale on Ebay, keep up the good work.
2.4TDCi non DPF version. Used to drive them @work, towing trailers nearly all week.
I’m sad not only do you have a 365 now to rub salt into the wounds you gone and acquired a Landi. I will have to continue to dream and live my life vicariously live my life through your channel.
Hi Dominic, it was nice to have a quick chat with at the NEC all be it brief, I was with Ant Anstead tasting wine when you came over, also seen you later in the bar, I am friends with Sarah Crabtree, Paul Cowland and Ant.
Having that 356 over your shoulder for the final shot caught the eyes of a lot of us but I think @aceadam said it best: " I came for the Porsche, but I stayed for the Dom"...and I'll add, for the Jon, as well.
Great video Dom. Hope you get the money back on parts not needed. Looks a lovely land rover.
Dom don't through the electronic side of the old abs unit away as data can still be copied from it by just plug it back in to the car and a diagnostic scanner can read all of its info just in case you do have abs coding issues with the new one cheers from down under
Team Dom & Jon. No job too daunting. Enthusiasm, banter and humour, no cost extras. ❤
Very interesting as usual. For anyone who hasn't spotted them, Juice Motors channel is brilliant for Defenders.
Yes unfortunately that's the later Ford puma engine, they're known for being less reliable than the earlier td5 and 300 TDI engines that are bomb proof.
congrats on 100k subs! looking forward to whatever the next project is, whether new or continuing!
You can remove the abs pump without taking the master and booster out. Just a bit of a squeeze. Loosening the pedal box is the key
I love the banter between you both and no-one takes a fence. Keep up the great channel.
Brake fluid leaking into inside the servo body? Just a thought. It looks superb! Very envious here.
100k subscribers is a great achievement. Congratulations !!
Thank you very much!
@@DominicChineas Back to the 356 😉🤙👍
It was good to see you and John manage to sort the breaks out on your defender.
John is a brilliant addition to any vid
I totally agree!
Well done 'Sherlock' (and helper) time for a tea brake eh🤣
Dom, where is the bus, is it finished , can we see it ? Last week you left us enjoying watching you sign writing, this week nothing, no mention of the bus. Also, glad to hear you will be getting back to the Porsche. I am a pensioner and worry I won't live long enough to see it drive out of your workshop !
Congrats 100K 🎉
Very nice landrover ❤
Man fixes Land Rover. Now, there's something we've never seen on UA-cam before!😊
Yet another great episode of the Dom & Jon channel.
Back to Porsche next? And nice work with the Defender!
PS Autoparts in Headcorn are rather handy. They were definitely a Land Rover specialist, possibly still are.
If you're looking for something to entertain us with, there's always sign writing. Can't get enough of you just painting something arty and talking to us as you go 🤩
I got a 1985 ex military 90, always have a new project to deal with, wouldn’t swap it for the world! 😁
I adore Honest John, the sanity of the streets. 😀
100k subscribers!! Nice going Dom.
Nice wheels Dom! But man they are expensive over here - NZ.
That's the same age as my old Defender. I loved that car and wish I still had it.
Which you haven't so you must have felt the need at the time to "move it on". Looking back through rose tinted's ?
Happy Days! Great stuff guys!
My friend was a master butcher and explained to me that everything in a pig is used, except for the sqeak. That was until land rover used the squeak in the brakes! 😂😂😂
The abs will eventually suffer from corrosion, as the anti corrosion in the brake fluid fails to work over time. To avoid such issues you need to replace the brake fluid every two years.
My first ever car was a defender,but more rustic than yours Dom,as it was ex MID and a series 2a. Great job boys and I was looking at buying one of those brake bleeders but couldn't work out how they worked, so ya for showing me. Will get one now. Re the project,get back on the Porche😎. Thanks fellas
Hey Dom & John, Since you both specialize in the unique and occasionally obsolete technologies, maybe this ABS Pump is another opportunity ? Perhaps you might see about rebuilding the old one or upgrading to a more current pump from the LR parts catalog by modifying the pedal box that was compromising your fitment of replacement part ? At least figure out how you should have disassembled the module without damages to electrical components and see if there are seals that could be replaced to rebuild old unit as a spare or for resale to other afflicted LR Defender owners ?
Thanks Dom and John CONGRATS 🎉100k silver play button comin' your way
Dom, congratulations for becoming a true English Gent, nothing against German stuff, (Don’t mention the war), but Defenders are just the best 4x4xfar, it’s undeniable…I ❤ my 110 Wolf and it takes me everywhere and never fails me…well done sir.
Sorry dom but nothing like bleeding brakes the old fashion way I would say the "new" ABS system would get the code from the ECU...John is a awesome friend of yours brilliant video great video❤
C’mon Dom - more progress on the 356, please...!
That ABS unit should have come apart easier than that. The corrosion made your job harder and led to the breakage I expect. Probably not had a brake fluid flush for quite a few years leading to water absorption and then rust. I would expect the rest of your braking system is in a similar state!
Why, Dom? I mean, I understand the intangible lure of a Defender (I have a 200Tdi 110), so that isn't a great surprise, but you haven't given us any back story, and I don't remember any comments of 'needing a new car' in previous videos. Surely there was more to it than an impulse buy? At least you won't be short of material for your channel now!
(PS - now very glad I don't have ABS on mine!)
could be worth putting a new split pin on the steering rod.they get a lot of road spray and it sucks if the nut unscrews
Utter nonsense
Now you've fixed a defender, a Saturn 5 rocket should be well within your capability 👍
Need to get a tractor! I've got two Massey Ferguson 35s one currently undergoing a full engine rebuild, good fun to work on and use!
Congrats on the 100k! Nice Mat Armstrong name check, possible collab on a future project?
That would be cool!
Such a cool vehicle. It's a shame they are so problematic.
Brake fluid does remove paint....clean very well
Just when I thought I couldn’t be any more envious of you!😂
I'd love to see you make a body for a vintage chassis using the ranalah. That or a vw trike build??
Though older I’d have stuck with TD5 or 300TDi from experience, another classic motorcycle 😊
It's taken me 8 years working almost every day to ALMOST finish my '64C. You should get back to yours. There's all sorts of parts you can work on (trakes, engine, transaxle) while waiting for body panels.
You guys are hilarious! Always a pleasure to watch.
Oh dear the porsche folk wont like this. Another mission lol. Looks in not bad nick though
Defenders are 'dime a dozen'. Now, if you want 'rare', how about a 1983 Jeep Cherokee, like the one on my driveway. Rock solid mechanicals, same the bodywork is water soluble. my 'one day' project.
Happy Easter 🐰🐣🐰
