What i like about this channel, is the humor,friendships and the nitty gritty of tank/ armoured vehicle fixing. No brushing over that it's a dirty job or that it can be painful and aggravating at times.
Don’t forget the porous cylinder head and leaky injectors accompanied by the need for a rear 1/4 chassis. Ohh and the added fun of trying to drop the fuel tank to replace a fubar fuel pump (without cutting an access hole in the boot floor). They are the gift that keeps on giving.
Years ago I bought my wife a Mk 1 VW Golf GTI second hand. I told her it was the economy model otherwise she would have been complaining about fuel consumption blah blah blah. Anyway she was happy.
I quite fancy a Discovery 2, my mate has a 1999 base model which I’ve borrowed in the past. Completely straight piped, remapped to just over 200bhp, chucks out enough black smoke to make Greta Thunberg shed tears. Absolute minter 👌
AWWWW look at little Jack's face so happy😊.. looks like a squirrel finding a bag of nuts to play with 😁 That's very generous of you fella !! BUT i can see the motive .... Jack get a car that MIGHT survive the week ..... and you get your van back .. " simples" 😅
You guys are having an almost illegal amount of fun, keep up the good work! I am truly impressed with how you remember all the quirks of curing these slightly poorly machines!
Mmm I would think it's not exactly as easy as merely remembering stuff there will be a lot of research/asking people etc goes in to each job. Remeber we only see 15-20 minutes every other day or so
Hey! What a Great Gesture of Kindness! My Jeep Commander has 223000 miles and all the Bits work.(Noisy on the road though, I need to replace the front Diff) keep carrying on, Mr Hewes!
Another heartwarming video of Jack being rude to Adam. Equally, a shocking video of Jack being polite to Joe. It better not last, or everyone will need counselling. 😊😂❤😂😊
Another ripper Lads! I'm still driving my 04 TD5 Disco and love it ......manual box though. It has been very reliable for me once you know the few things to keep on top of! Just replacing a coolant hose this week, but to be fair, it is 20 yrs old! Jack will love it and fix ix it up nicely I presume 😉 Keep it up gentlemen CHeers Gregg....
Reminds me of all the stories my dad has about his old crap cars like the Lincoln he owned that had no working doors so he had to climb through the sun roof to get in and out
At this point I could mention the excellent UA-cam channel (LR Times) where a German couple fix, maintain, and recondition LR Discoveries to a super high standard. There is the problem, they do everything properly even making their own tools when necessary using a home machine shop. Properly and 'Mr Hewes' is such an oxymoron it might be best to ignore LR Times after all.
Hey! don't look they be they weird tank blokes from up at the faam! What they doing round here?--- Don't look chaps they'll think were baby snatchers. Ahghaha! that bit was hilarious. Good to see you give Jack your disco. Your Transit reminds me of my car after my daughter borrowed it, except yours was tidy in comparison. Your vids are the best, keep them coming.
Nice one Joe. Jack will be back in a couple of days time and say his disco has broken down lol 😂. Be great to see the pack installed and see the tank driving. Great entertainment you guys 👍👍👍👍
Lovely gift there, all in perfect working order, when it was made (Ok that might be stretching it a bit with land Rovers). Also as an added extra it had an authentic lived in (and partially vandalised) look which will deter predators and anyone with any sense of self worth from stealing it. better than any alarm or disabler. However I had a Disco and loved it till the onboard sprinkler system in the leaking rooflights decided to make driving unpalatable as it would store about 2 pints of water until you went and moved it which would then drench any fire you may have had in your lap as a precaution. It was given to a farmer mate who repaired said rooflight after his Disco caught fire mysteriously as he was welding something on it. It ended its days sideways in a ditch which is where all landrovers should end up. Hours of endless fun beforehand. Bravo Mr H.
Will be the watts linkage bushes chaps, don’t bother trying to replace them they are a pain in the arse, you can buy the whole assembly that includes the 3 bushes and bolt it on in 10 mins, way to go!
Good old Disco Premium, does it still have the drop down tables for the rear seat passengers. Jacks tea room 🙂👍🏼 Thanks for sharing the day, and your welcome 😁
Dear Joe, Nice to see how you made a friend of yours happy with a Land Rover Discovery TDS to my opinion the 1999 edition. It’s also good to see how you and Adam repaired the Rolls Royce engine cassette of the FV432 Armoured Personnel Carrier. I therefore look forward to see the engine back in this vehicle so she will drive smoothly again plus I send you love from the Netherlands
I have to say I love love your channel you guys are hella mechanics I could tell you guys are either our brothers or family but you guys are great and hilarious at the same time your knowledge for these tanks are insane here in the United States it's a few people that know their stuff but the knowledge you have is incredible and you know every piece and the name for every little piece on those motors it's incredible to watch keep up the videos I love them!!!
You are a top bloke Joe!! That's what friends are All about!! Behind all the carry on you are all there for each other! Much respect. Try not to drive over that Disco in any tanks now😉😁
Another superb vid joe / the sarky laughable stuff you guys come out with is great , never change the way you guys run vids as you and the gang just nail the humour 🙏😂👍
That’s good of you. I’ve seen and been around a lot of UA-camrs that don’t give above and beyond a meager salary that doesn’t provide enough for their workers to afford to buy a vehicle.
A mate of mine in New Mexico has at least three Discos & a Range Rover, all early 2000's models. They all have the US spec petrol V8 & manage about 10 miles to the US gallon. Oddly enough, they're all reliable & being new Mexico, aren't rotted out. He's still a loony for liking them.
Long time subscriber. Love the tanks, the military vehicles, the ‘bants’ but this episode has actually hit the nail on the head for me why I like the channel so much. It’s the warmth and friendship between you all. It’s obviously genuine and very rare to find on tv or UA-cam. Don’t let this go to your heads but it’s very reminiscent of Clarkson, May, Hammond. I mean that as a huge compliment btw. Top Gear died when they left.

Me Ted ❤
Everyone loves Ted!
It's the people
Totally agree
@MrHewes and his crew are like the armoured version of Hammond, Clarkson and May. Perfect chemestry between all involved with this channel.
Think of all the mums that now know where Jack lives. That street's going to get busy.
Think of all the mum's that know JOE was on that street
Now the police are gonna get busy 🤣
Clicking doorstraps - Check. Torn drivers seat - Check. No acceleration - Check. Rattles - Check. Vague steering - Check. What a babe!
All those options available from the factory at no extra cost.
Don’t forget the porous cylinder head and leaky injectors accompanied by the need for a rear 1/4 chassis. Ohh and the added fun of trying to drop the fuel tank to replace a fubar fuel pump (without cutting an access hole in the boot floor).
They are the gift that keeps on giving.
@@Zermattquattromy one had an access cover when I did the fuel pump.
You forgot the leaky sunroofs.
@@graememckay9972mine did too, about half a dozen screws to open the plate then unscrew locking ring and pump out and in. Ten min job to swap.
So what you gifted him was a hobby, essentially. Always something wrong on these vehicles, right.
And still he looked genuinely happy. 👍
These lads work on tanks, a disco is basically an airfix model to them 😅
Giving Jack all his "things" back properly made me laugh. I need to start doing that when my wife swaps cars.
I wish I could send a pick....I'm.pretty sure my van's footwell has many of Jack's items in it.
@@Wilko601stas has my car; weird.
Years ago I bought my wife a Mk 1 VW Golf GTI second hand. I told her it was the economy model otherwise she would have been complaining about fuel consumption blah blah blah. Anyway she was happy.
@@Qspecialman eh?
"Don't make eye contact!"
Priceless!
Looking forward to landy fixing videos coming soon 😂
Slow, Noisy, Terrible Fuel Consumption, Usual Rotten, You'll love it lol 🤣
Lovely idea of Ted to give Jack a disco!.....heart of gold ......and to Joe for delivering it!
I quite fancy a Discovery 2, my mate has a 1999 base model which I’ve borrowed in the past. Completely straight piped, remapped to just over 200bhp, chucks out enough black smoke to make Greta Thunberg shed tears. Absolute minter 👌
I can’t believe you haven’t got a Netflix series yet, the humour’s right up my street never mind the scrap you restore and rebuild 👏🏼
@netflix DO IT!
AWWWW look at little Jack's face so happy😊.. looks like a squirrel finding a bag of nuts to play with 😁
That's very generous of you fella !!

You are UA-cam's new Clarkson, hammond and may... Love your videos.. Greetings from Norway...👍👍
Adam does resemble Hammond quite a bit too.
"Don't film children Adam!"
Lovely old fashioned mechanics doing lovely old fashioned mechanics very well…..a pleasure to watch.
Good old Ted, doing the 'safety test' on the biccies!. Great clip!. Nuff said. 🙂
Hey! What a Great Gesture of Kindness! My Jeep Commander has 223000 miles and all the Bits work.(Noisy on the road though, I need to replace the front Diff) keep carrying on, Mr Hewes!
Another heartwarming video of Jack being rude to Adam.
Equally, a shocking video of Jack being polite to Joe. It better not last, or everyone will need counselling. 😊😂❤😂😊
The gift that keeps on giving 😁
Ohh yeah! Every time it breaks and he fixed it...he'll Remember who gave it to him😂
Thanks Hewes n Crews, keepemcomin. The Ole Fella from Downunda.
How sweet, look at his smiling face
If that's how you treat your best mate, I'd hate to be your enemy!

Please tell me that the centurion is going to a good home in America? Not to that nugget Diesel? 😢
It's quite depressing how popular the "nugget" is. ..
Yeah it’s going to him
Does he just wreck vehicles for the views?@@AdamBest1920
Found this channel a couple of weeks ago and is my type of of humour and style of repair and fault finding love it
let's face it lots of old landys, / discos not many of those foreign Johnnies around. Keep up all the good fun while working. Great stuff
essex murders - while he's driving the disco. :)
Top reference.
Somewhere, Seb is crying at this title.
🤣😂🤣😂
Good catch with the gear lever! You really would of been kicked yourselves if you had put it in. Nothing worse than double handling.
Good stuff.!! 👍 👍 👍 👍
Proper impressed, Joe, that you had a gear forky-thingy-itemy-thing on the shelf.
One of these party cars that feels your driving inside a disco
Rapidly becoming my favourite channel - love mechanics, tanks and a bunch of genuinely nice lads and lasses

This is hands down one of the best youtube channels out there.
Nice one Joe. Jack will be back in a couple of days time and say his disco has broken down lol 😂. Be great to see the pack installed and see the tank driving. Great entertainment you guys 👍👍👍👍
oh I bet you get some grief from the "elf and safety" brigade about working under that pack without supports😱😄. Great video as always, thanks.
'Just give him all his things back :D
A tidy Mark 7 transit 115 hp & above is a total machine. Massively under rated , cheap as chips. Fantastic driving position & in cab experience.
Happy Jack! Good on you, Joe!

"It ended its days sideways in a ditch which is where all Land Rovers should end up" - yes, that's sort of their equivalent to a Viking funeral.
@@gagatube It's what they would have wanted.
@@DIVERBLOKE1 🥲👍
Endless joy for Jack. Great content.
I see Adam took my mrs advice and got his haircut😊
Love it. Great gesture and some fun times ahead.
Came over from LORDMUCK, stayed for the Shenanigans🤓🤘👍
Will be the watts linkage bushes chaps, don’t bother trying to replace them they are a pain in the arse, you can buy the whole assembly that includes the 3 bushes and bolt it on in 10 mins, way to go!
A set of genuine lad's.Friendships like that last an entire lifetime.Good on yer Joe .🤩
I love the sort of Top gear approach to some of your content. You have a natural talent for it my friend. Keep them coming.
As always brilliant!
That was very kind of you. Can't wait to see the engine pack installed and cranked up.
Congratulations Jack!! 👍
The banter and the dry British humour is always amusing, thanks!
Can always get back from work with a smile when I see an upload from you guys!
Sad that another bit of British tank history going abroad, hope the next person looks after it, good to see jack happy with new motor
The classic disco....lovely and spongey...
The roadfood-trash transfer is perfect. Almost laughed coffee out my nose. Good on you! A continuous project he can well handle.
Obviously Jack will have the disco all fixed up and looking mint by this time next week.....
Good old Disco Premium, does it still have the drop down tables for the rear seat passengers. Jacks tea room 🙂👍🏼 Thanks for sharing the day, and your welcome 😁

Nice to see Jack getting some love.
You may want to consider keeping some of these restored tanks Joe now.. for our own defense mate xD
Always great banter and sarcasm, throwing Jacks rubbish in to his new car will really feel like home for him, so thoughtful 😂.
Looks almost as mint as my brother's old Disco!😊
This is a great truck ! Love these ! It’s a proper truck!
Cool video as always , made me chuckle so thanks for that .
Great touch giveing jack his rubbish back 😂😂😂😂😂
Brilliant funny when the items were given back on the back seat , what a mess , glad you got that gear selector sorted , now that's experience 😮 !
Great video as usual!
They likely had to disconnect the drivers side seat heater when installing Jack's booster seat.
Sorry Jack... ;)
Cheers
Love the ranger raptor, wish we got them over here, enjoying the videos, keep pumping them out!
Good ole Disco , great spannering thanks for sharing 👍💨💨
Happy birthday/ Christmas Jack!
Good on you Joe.
Bet jacks well chuffed.
That was such a good catch with the gear selector 👍👍
Power washing greasy machines was my first high school job in the summers. Don’t miss it at all now I just run them all day.

Nice touch Joe to help Jack! Top man !
‘Help’, you say 🤔.
Great fun glad Ted got a snack and your best mate has got a mint motor
Another great video Mr Hews and the team.
Missing my TD5 defender 😂 a tune really sorts them out !!
in that sweet, helping Jack out, like care in the community, help the aged, besties hehe
Happy jack is a bonus, quick fix on the gear shifter is a win. Cheers
This I excellent content, you guys are just ace ❤
Another superb vid joe / the sarky laughable stuff you guys come out with is great , never change the way you guys run vids as you and the gang just nail the humour 🙏😂👍
This is the Top Gear old school BBC could only dream of making and new school BBC would ban outright. Fucking genius :)
I see what you’ve done… Land Rover fixing videos coming. Channel building! 😂😂😂
That’s good of you. I’ve seen and been around a lot of UA-camrs that don’t give above and beyond a meager salary that doesn’t provide enough for their workers to afford to buy a vehicle.

Thanks. This channel just might bring back humor as a non-criminal activity. I laughed out loud on this one.
Love your videos keep up the great work and be careful an safe😅
