Hello Evan, Thank you for the presentation and Greetings from Paris ! I have a defender TD5 year 2003. If I up-shift quickly with high RPM from 1st to 2d, or 2d to 3d, I feel a crunch/grind in my hand (not so loud to hear it in the vehicle, I can just feel it with my hand). If I leave the RPM/rev normal, and leave a 1 second pause on Neutral between these gears, all is fine. No crunch when downshifting. The gearbox runs with new MTF94 oil. Is this a normal behavior for a R380 ? Are we supposed to UP shift slowly with these gearboxes, losing momentum ? Losing momentum is not an issue on flat road, but annoying climbing a slope. Many thanks for your help and feedback ! Julien
Yes it’s a 300TDI and the gauges are aftermarket digital with analog faces I bought on eBay. The speedometer is gps based. They work way better than the failing OE gauges
@@Avionics_test_pilot oh really that’s cool, I’ve been looking for a while and could find anything. Did you make a new panel and mount them in that. Would you have a link at all? I have a 1988 two door 300 tdi I also like your front bumper winch setup
Una delle migliori fuoristrada prodotte da LandRover…se non la migliore
It’s a beautiful rig Evan! Im a fellow Land Rover owner here in Greenville, and I think the RRC have always been my favorite
I love your socks Evan
