    I think that while Australians are the kings of offroad when it comes to all things Landcruiser, Utes and off-road caravans, you boys are world class when it comes to turning Landrovers into ultra desirable off-road weapons! Well done Dave and all the team - astonishing engineering quality in every build!

    I am in the middle of putting a 5.3 LS & 6L80 transmission into my 110 Defender - I would love to see more details of how you did all the little things like building the air box, how you ran the steam lines and what you did with the PCV valve? I love the clean look you created under the hood!

    I'm currently in the process of finishing my 110 td5 into a rugged long distance offload tourer... however I stumbled upon something a bit worrying...
    the rear axle is slightly more over to the left compared to the front one. in fact the rear right tire slightly touches sometimes where the spring sits.... I've measured everything but am clueless... have you guys ever had this? can it be fixed? cheers

    @andreasfakis6528 2 роки тому

    I'd love to see (and eventually drive) a Defender with the steering wheel (perhaps pedals too) moved 12 cm towards the centre. I know it's not simple and will take a lot of engineering, perhaps even moving the gearbox a bit. but for 50K and upwards budgets it'd be a much nicer and timeless treat than the beer cooler, which I suppose has no suspension, so it'd be more useful for non sparkling drinks, especially if using the Defender for what it's meant.

  • @stephenlyttleton9032

    I have a 2007 2.4 Puma (110) which starting to plan improvements. When I discovered that the 2.4 was a poor candidate for tuning started to look around for engine swap outs. Any recommendations? Are some options easier than others not requiring significant changes to chassis, etc.? Any advice please. No rush as both myself and vehicle in Cyprus and big mods don’t seem to be legal here, so might have to bide my time.

      @@wearemahker you missed the point buddy. For someone who's looking into doing a LS swap your video titles would lead the viewer to believe they might learn something useful ie what gearbox to use/adaptors/ratios/positioning... I dunno, anything really... Instead we waste 20 mins watching some muppet clean the workshop or mask up for painting. Frustrating. Awesome builds tho, just not very informative was my point.
