When a vehicle is as travelled and as old as yours, regardless of what make it is, it is going to have wear and tear. Especially when it has done some quite extreme off-roading on more than one continent and being shipped countless times. The only vehicle anyone should ever get, is one that is suitable for the tasks intended and one that feels right for the purchaser/owner. No make of vehicle is infallible and all have their issues and ALL will suffer from wear and tear. I'm glad that you got your Land Rover fixed without too much bother and gave it a good service at the same time. I wish you continued happy and safe travels!
Now that is the most sensible and intelligent comment I've read in a long time. Thank you for that great insight. I have owned many different makes and models of 4x4 over the past 24 years and all of them have been driven hard and required regular maintenance and had issues. It's absolutely normal. In fact it was our Toyota 80 Series of ten years that gave us the most issues of any vehicle we've owned 😉
Hear hear. The Land Rover community is something special and I am so honoured and happy to be a part of that. My father in-law was a Toyota man (Land Cruiser all the way), giving me grieve about driving a Defender. But he admitted that the Series and Defender owners were a special community, something Toyota never had and probably never will.
Hello to SA - my wife and I just hopped last week on a plane to CPT and celebrated our 26th wedding day in the area. Just drove the R44 from Somerset West to Pringle Bay and LOVED it!
Здорово!!! А то что семья любителей Дефендеров, очень душевная в любой стране! Great!!! And the fact that the family of Defender lovers is very sincere in any country!
Wou this is really amazing I'm from Germany and watch you folks from the beginnings, I'm now 5 years retired and was truck driving before than. I have seen South Africa from Moraly from Holland mith here Motorbike too before. Really take care in South Africa 🌍 good luck.
I completely understand the community part with Land Rover. I drive an old Toyota FJ62 and its them same here in the US. You stop and talk to eachother, help eachother out. These LandRover/Cruisers have so much soul and its fun to share that.
Je comprends que vous soyez amoureux de cette voiture, mais c'est quand même bien connu que c'est une usine à pannes !!. Bon courage quand même et à vos outils. Bises.
My first time ever in a Landover also involved a broken drive shaft to the rear div. South lilongwe national park in Zambia, I hitched a ride with a 80yr old German lady that travelled solo in the area since her husband passed away the year before. So this motorcyclist was lying on his back tying up the shaft with some random material with Lions roaring around in the not to far off distance. What a great experience that was! Got out great on front wheels drive. Wish you wonderful travels in Africa! Oh, it's newtons, not kilo newtons for the drain plug 😉
If anything remains unbroken, then something might be not right. You wouldn't have being able to meet all those amazing people on the road. Always waiting for Fridays to keep with your adventure. ¡¡PURA VIDA!!.
G&B. At least a repair was successful ! Might have to ask the Three Stouges from Rovacraft in Perth, W.A. to send over the 'Terrafirma' catalogue for safe keeping & future parts prrovisions ? V.
Welcome to South Africa guys. Love your adventures and positive vibe . If you’re still in Cape Town,I’d love for you to pop by at my coffee shop so I can treat you to a great cup of coffee and a cake . Either way enjoy your time and new adventure
Just a little thing I notice that you have oil in the swivel housings use the LR recommended grease it never leaks on the brakes etc never even when the seal is compromised. Love from England
Salut, je roule en Toyota Land Cruiser mais j'aime aussi beaucoup les Defender. Tous les deux sont de belles machines mais la différence, et c'est ce que Toyota n'a pas, c'est cette merveilleuse communauté mondiale, cet esprit de famille qui embelli le voyage et qui participe à de très belles rencontres et a l'entre aides ou que vous soyez. Gardez bien votre def jusqu'à son dernier souffle et après il ira au musée....peut être...😉😘
That was awesome, enjoyed the video. Hope you have a wonderful time and enjoy it here in my home country. Just want to clear up a thing or two, the sump plug torque couldn't of been 23 kilo Newton, that is 2.3 tons. 23 Newton meter is more like it, that is 2.3 kg pressure on a 1 meter lever 😉. Maybe I missed it, the only thing that could of caused that bolt on the diff pinion to snap like that is that it was over tighten. The bolt did seem to be on the slightly short side (not that bad though) but won't cause it to snap, it would cause the thread to strip out. Looking forward to watch your next video.
Love it as always amazing videos!! Somerset West, Strand and Gordons Bay thats where i grew up. Surfed there everyday so cool that you guys are in my home town area Wish you guys safe travels in SA
So glad your beautiful rig is back on the road . Also thanks for showing your rig work as things go wrong and your fixes along the way . Helps new people to over landing see that you can still have a great trip no matter what . And see that it’s not always easy . But look at all the amazing people you have ment a long the way due to breakages 😢 . OH I watched your complete Jordan trail adventure and you were so right . totally a beautiful adventure , loved every minute of it . Thanks for sharing all these amazing adventures with us your over landing friends. THANKS AGAIN FOR SHARING YOUR WONDERFUL JOURNEY WITH US . cheers from Steve Stott in Sutherlin Oregon U.S.A. :):)🌍👍🏼🍻
Sometimes you need to take a bit of time to do repairs, and a plus for doing it yourself is you can repair anywhere. Nice to see you back in the Landy 👍
As an owner of a Toyota Land Cruiser, I can say I’m glad people love and drive different brands. It would be booooring if everyone drove the same rigs.
... another nice video .... very surprised about that diff bolt ... it looked like it had been over torqued (perhaps when the diff pinion bearings preload was initially set up ... BUT I was even more surprised that your 130 doesn't have the Heavy Duty Salisbury Diff and axle kit fitted to it (VERY UNBREAKABLE !!) ... good luck for the future adventure ... Cheers from Melbourne.
My Dad and I drove through Zambia some years ago also with a land rover. Our prop shaft also dropped but at high speed, luckily didnt damage the under carriage. What happened was that the bolts loosened up and sheared off. Fixed it with random bolts we could find around a township.
Great stuff pity the wrong bolt was in the end of the prop shaft , we’ll do e snd get on the road . I can only imagine how excited you two must be😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
ciao ragazzi, vi seguo fin dall'inizio, ormai molti anni fa. Ho un 110 tdi allestito e più che mai seguirò le vostre peripezie in Africa, il più arduo terreno di battaglia per ogni viaggiatore ma anche la meta più affascinante e sognata da chi come voi ama il viaggio puro. Buona strada allora al Defender e lunga strada alla sua straordinaria coppia di driver.
😂😂 For a while now it's been tickling my brain but I just realised who Leigh reminds me of and I finally have it! He look like an older version of Johnny Walker (a British hard enduro rider). 😅 Right now I can finally get on with enjoining videos.
Years ago a Nissan Patrol came into our workshop with a loud rear diff noise after it had been on the train from Adelaide to Darwin. They had strapped the wheels to the train with it in first gear and the teeth on the crown wheel and pinion were bruised where they were touching during the trip and the vehicle was rocking back and forth.
C'est cool de mentionner le soutien de Newman 4x4, ils ont les compétences, c'est sûr!! Que de baux engins là-bas aussi, ça fait rêver!! Dans tous les cas, content de vous voir heureux, bien entouré et plein de projets!!🙏🙏
If your mechanic thinks it's normal for the bronze bushing to turn on the stub he's wrong. That bush should be an interference fit on the stub axle, you'll find it will have a hairline crack letting it rotate . The end float on the cv is set with shims under the drive flange cap, if the end float is too large the cv will foul the inside of the swivel housing when the wheels are on lock, if it's too tight you will wear the bronze Bush, the end float will need checking if the drive flange or other parts are changed. I'd suggest watching some of the Britanica restorations videos on YT for maintenence tips and tutorials.
Great to see it all back together, good job Lee. Everyday is a school day so pat yourself on the back, great job well done. Looking forward to the next part of your adventure. 😎👍
Now Grizzly is getting the attention it craves! lol. The more you know, the more confident you will feel. Great job you pair! South Africa is shaping up to be a magnificent adventure. And what is this 'new project' you mob hinted at? Hmmm? lol. Awesome stuff. Cheers for sharing!
So good to see such a well done video, of such a complete properly done repair. I suspect you two actually relishb doing such good repairs yourselves!. Well done Stephy and Deane. So good you could find such an experienced place as these guys. Wonderful that you could cuddle Grizzly too; and have a good sleep within.
Great to see all you vids guys, you should be able to build a landy from the ground up by now😅, see if you can get a drive shaft safety loop, it's a loop of metal that will catch the shaft if it comes lose so it won't hit the ground, I'm thinking of putting one on the troopy just in case, safe travels ❤
If you are still in the western cape and planning to visit the well known old town with lots of history named Swellendam, contact me and I can sort you out great accommodation.Enjoy South Africa.
Wondering if it would have been different had you just set the parking brake and put the T case in neutral would it have made a difference? I would think that chocking all 4 wheels would keep it from moving. But, I can see how being in a shipping containers on a wave pitching ship could be a roungh ride! I have manual lockout hubs on all axle hubs of my Extreme 4X4, and can disconnect my entire drivetrain so I can flat tow it like a 4 wheel trailer and the differentials never even turn with all 4 corners dialedl out. Making self recovery a lot easier at times. With your luck, maybe I need to build you a fat tire creeper so you can get under the LR in the dirt!
👍👍👍👍👍👍 shit hot video again 👍🤗 Great to see it’s all ok and ready to go. Little lady, Your welcome to hang out in my work shop anytime 👍. Thanks guys 👏👏👏
Everything you claim about Landrover family also applies to the Landcruiser family. I have my '93 Troopy for 22 years now and travelled 60K in Africa (NL to RSA and back) with zero break downs other than broken leafsprings and in the total 22 years I haven't had as much trouble with the car as you guys in a few weeks. We travelled in Africa together with LR's as well. Allmost every evening they put their coveralls on to repair what broke during the day while we watched and were sipping our Gin Tonic's. I totally understand your love for the car but when to go to really remote places in Africa like traversing the Sahara or visit lake Turkana, you need to have a very reliable vehicle. If you loose confidence, it will hold you back and you won't leave the "beaten track" anymore. Seen it happen to often! Happy Travels and take care..
Bonjour, quel panard de rouler avec un Lightweight et cerise sur le gâteau le volant est du bon coté pour toi. Comme vous le dite si bien, Le Def, 90 ,110 , 130 série I, II et III c'est une grande famille dans le monde entier. Bonne balade a vous et merci pour cette vidéo.

It is so crazy seeing you guys in my back yard :)
Land Rover life! I still miss the old ‘59 farm Landy always a challenge guessing which brake might grab and spear you off the road left or right 😂
I completely understand the community part with Land Rover. I drive an old Toyota FJ62 and its them same here in the US. You stop and talk to eachother, help eachother out. These LandRover/Cruisers have so much soul and its fun to share that.
As for the battery wire connection, it helps to take a picture before you disconnect. saved me more than few time.
Absolutely I took photos of everything I always do. Not just electrical but any mechanical work I do as well 😉
Je comprends que vous soyez amoureux de cette voiture, mais c'est quand même bien connu que c'est une usine à pannes !!. Bon courage quand même et à vos outils. Bises.

C'est toujours un plaisir de voir vos vidéos. Vivement les prochaines. Biz à tous les deux. ❤🥰🥰
Hmm.. I've seen drivetrains break on ports before. That's because they sometimes use Forklifts to move the cars.

Bonjour, super votre réparation, les aventures continuent.
Years ago a Nissan Patrol came into our workshop with a loud rear diff noise after it had been on the train from Adelaide to Darwin. They had strapped the wheels to the train with it in first gear and the teeth on the crown wheel and pinion were bruised where they were touching during the trip and the vehicle was rocking back and forth.

If your mechanic thinks it's normal for the bronze bushing to turn on the stub he's wrong. That bush should be an interference fit on the stub axle, you'll find it will have a hairline crack letting it rotate . The end float on the cv is set with shims under the drive flange cap, if the end float is too large the cv will foul the inside of the swivel housing when the wheels are on lock, if it's too tight you will wear the bronze Bush, the end float will need checking if the drive flange or other parts are changed. I'd suggest watching some of the Britanica restorations videos on YT for maintenence tips and tutorials.
great channel , its not killer newtons its 23 newton meters .
I own a Toyota LC... stick with the LR. It is a part of who you are and if you like it who cares.
Any one sais get a Toyota should really get real. Go guys go! Welcome to out awesome country!!
Great to see it all back together, good job Lee. Everyday is a school day so pat yourself on the back, great job well done. Looking forward to the next part of your adventure. 😎👍

So good to see such a well done video, of such a complete properly done repair. I suspect you two actually relishb doing such good repairs yourselves!. Well done Stephy and Deane.

Wondering if it would have been different had you just set the parking brake and put the T case in neutral would it have made a difference? I would think that chocking all 4 wheels would keep it from moving. But, I can see how being in a shipping containers on a wave pitching ship could be a roungh ride!
I have manual lockout hubs on all axle hubs of my Extreme 4X4, and can disconnect my entire drivetrain so I can flat tow it like a 4 wheel trailer and the differentials never even turn with all 4 corners dialedl out. Making self recovery a lot easier at times.
With your luck, maybe I need to build you a fat tire creeper so you can get under the LR in the dirt!
👍👍👍👍👍👍 shit hot video again 👍🤗 Great to see it’s all ok and ready to go. Little lady, Your welcome to hang out in my work shop anytime 👍. Thanks guys 👏👏👏
Everything you claim about Landrover family also applies to the Landcruiser family. I have my '93 Troopy for 22 years now and travelled 60K in Africa (NL to RSA and back) with zero break downs other than broken leafsprings and in the total 22 years I haven't had as much trouble with the car as you guys in a few weeks. We travelled in Africa together with LR's as well. Allmost every evening they put their coveralls on to repair what broke during the day while we watched and were sipping our Gin Tonic's. I totally understand your love for the car but when to go to really remote places in Africa like traversing the Sahara or visit lake Turkana, you need to have a very reliable vehicle. If you loose confidence, it will hold you back and you won't leave the "beaten track" anymore. Seen it happen to often! Happy Travels and take care..

Great channel!!!! What is your advice on transporting your Landrover ie should it be in gear? Handbrake off etc
The pinion yoke should be a press fit on the pinion splines, the repair you did will last for a while but will fail again, you need to find a new pinion yoke and see if you get a press fit on the shaft,
0:13 Sousss Africa 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Toyota??! Screw that! Get square body Chevy 😊. stay safe guys
Ya a good LC 78 with air cond lolololol
I'm wondering when/where that weak bolt was installed? It's pretty obvious that there must be 12.9 bolt.
Bagus 😂🎉
Guys, what steering wheel are you using on your Land Rover? Have been looking for something like this for a while! Keep up the good work!!
No doubt. The car was brutalized exiting the container.
