Your application of Hylomar is bringing back memories. Used gallons of stuff in my time . Perkins insisted on painting either side of the head gasket on a V8 engine because the mating surfaces were that bad. The other gasket sealer I used was WellSeal, a horrible brown liquid that stunk rotten, along with Stag paste looked like red lead and stained everything it touched. Really enjoying your videos being able to overall a gearbox without getting dirty or knocking up my fingers and knuckles . Keep up the great v,kgs
I remember Stag when i was an apprentice!
You really know your trade. Enjoyed these productions immensely.
Hi Mike very well done as always that box is nearly a s old as me and the same age as my wife very many thanks Eliot
Don't forget to fill it with oil Mike or it will end up like that other one you pulled out. Lol.
Hi Mike I love all these videos you are churning out. Does that transfer box intermediate shaft not do up on a crush tube and require pre loading?
Not on a Series truck
Preload is set by shims under the thrust bushes you see Mike stick in with grease before dropping the gear cluster in.
I thought about you as I passed 'mega paper towel' rolls on special at the hardware. Three bucks a roll and fifty bucks postage!!
6 x rolls here C$3.33
They make it here in town - I was wondering if they had and spoiled product, but then again they just throw it back in and make new stuff - thinking about it, maybe worth talking to them for a bit of sponsorship...
@@BritannicaRestorations Yes, that and microfibre towels. You seem to use a hell of a lot of both.
Do you ever manage to get spoiled wood pellets for your heater. I'd imagine they'd be much cheaper.
Costco sells bundles of micro fibres quite cheap, however they do get contaminated quite easy - pick up drill swarf like a magnet!
Not too please with this years wood pellets - burn too quick. May get hard wood next year and re set my boiler to suit
@@BritannicaRestorations will the boiler still auto feed on hard wood? We don't see many of those in Australia. Most wood users are stingey amateurs, like me, who pinch bits from bushland.
HiMike, Another great video. Couldn't help but notice that there was no crush-tube on the intermediate gear shaft, just the same as the transfer box that I have fitted to my 1984 110. It came out of an early Range Rover which is higher geared, works really well especially on the motorway. The question I would like to ask is--- when did they start using the crush tube rather than end thrust shims. Best wishes, Yorkshire Rob.
The Series had needle roller bearings and thrust washers either end of the gear that run on a surface on the gear
Yes I liked them better than the crush-tube, I suppose that it was all down to cost. The one in my 110 is so quiet. Best of luck, Yorkshire Rob.
Completely different unit, Robert. Series vehicles (except V8) had this unit, while 110, 90 and then Defender all had LT230s. This has selectable 4wd, normally being in 2wd, while the LT230 is always 4wd and has a centre diff. Preloads and tolerances are set differently, and the teeth on the LT230 are smaller and all helical, no spurs, so it’s much quieter.
Yes Your right in what you say Nick. I fitted a transfer box that I took out of a Classic Range Rover Many years ago, a 28D @ 1.22. Before I swopt it , I thought that I should give it a quick rebuild and reseal. I had already ordered the parts for the original t/box that had a crush tube in it, a 22D@ 1.410, but when I took the 28D box in bits there was no tube, instead it had the shim thrust eather end so I had to reorder the parts. The shaft was a little different but the casing and most gearing were exactly the same as the ones with the crush tube. I had never seen one without the crush tube. Even the input shaft was the same and interchangeable. The question is,,,, have I got an early odd-ball LT230 T/box. I have no worries or trouble with it, and it is so much quieter than before, maybe the MOLYSLIP helped a little. Many thanks for your input Nick, I enjoy Mikes channel as he is so good in explaining things and it brings back so many memories. Good luck with your next project. ROB.
Just bought a defender love your channel where did you learn your trade
I was a fitter at ICI but worked on LR's for over 40 years
I wish we could see what you were doing a little bit better
That is the problem with working on your own it would be nice if he could have someone working the camera but that would cost extra money and he is working on a shoe string still I give him credit he does his best and I for one enjoy watching these videos even though I am more in to Jeeps myself a nice WJ 4ltr much more nicer to drive than a LR.
Thank you - I know it is an issue sometimes but I only see the results once downloaded from the camera - by then it is too late to correct the view - better than nothing at all in my opinion
@@BritannicaRestorations I love the videos, warts and all. I suppose you could set up a second camera at a different position and just leave that running all the time to cover the times you get between the camera and what you are working on. Would mean more editing though. I'm just amazed you manage to produce as much as you do. Very grateful.
I wonder why land rover didn't replace the drum with a hydraulic disc arrangement?
When correctly maintained a drum works well
@@BritannicaRestorations I was thinking in situe repair in adverse weather conditions, you pull the drum and it all falls apart in a slushy puddle!!!lol
I have a feeing you cannot fit a hydraulic parking brake - there is a cable disc conversion on the market
Because hydraulic parking brakes are not allowed in the EU and most other places - too much chance of a leak disengaged g the brake when parked.
X-Eng developed a disc brake conversion using a mechanical calliper, now produced by Foundry 4x4. Britpart also made an illegal copy, breaking patent law, as they do.
Even (Many? Most?) modern disc brake systems use miniature drums (inside the rear discs) as parking brakes. Drum shoes tend to wrap into the drum at low speeds so have a sort of self-setting advantage, where a disc caliper requires much more force (on the lever/cable) for the ame effect. All of the slop in the Defender driveline gets taken up post-brake-setting. Quite a thrill on a cliff edge
I can highly recommend one of these cast aluminium Roamerdrive Series transfer box sump covers:

They don't deform around the studs and stops the leaks
Quick question Mike, what is that red grease that you're using?
April wheel bearing grease. April is a Quebec lubricant manufacture - buy local!
@@BritannicaRestorations Tough one when I'm in Nottingham. I'll check to see what time the last bus is :) Or I might just check on the local stocks! Thanks Mike.
lol!
This grease seems to be formulated for low temps
What's a Manc doing in Quebec? :)
I'm from North Yorkshire!
@@BritannicaRestorations Knew you'd bite! Ha, ha! Good videos, well put together. It's wet here (for a change), bet you're glad you moved. Good fortune, & keep 'em coming!
-22c yesterday here - BUT sunny!
Thanks for your comments!
