Land Rover Defender on Cooper STT Pro's
Hi there! When you did the sound deadening on your Landy, where did you purchase the products from please? Would appreciate it if you could let me know. Thanks in advance.
Awesome job 🍻🤩
Thanks For the video, busy sorting this out with Mine. I noticed that you did a hydraulic cylinder opener. What length Ram did you use and what KPA rating? would you recommend a stronger or weaker one now that you have yours installed? Thanks.
Hi. Thanks for the video, I have just done the same to mine (including a new slave cylinder) but watching your video was a great help to understand the fiddle of getting the master out and new one in. I now just need to add fluid and start the bleeding process. 🍻
i used a waterproof rubber coating on the engine bay side of the galvanised bulk head. done the same under the battery box seat box and under the rear tub. makes a big improvement already.thinking of doing the same on the inside of all the doors
Graphite powder works best
Great series, I’ll be doing mine over the coming months, wish me luck 😂
Thanks. Next on my list…
Very cool! Did you notice a big difference in fuel economy as well, one way or the other?
Hey i need to do this, did you lift the roof or dig out the existing foam sealant ? Thanks
Good job. Glad to have found this channel.
Is the electric socket easy to wire up thought about moving mine
Very nice creative work 🔥
My only criticism is your reversing the images, otherwise well explained and lovely job 👍
My back door started jamming. I thought is was related to the new hinges I installed. A few months later it got stuck, I could not open the door. I used the procedure in this video and the back door works fine now. I turns out that the sticking issue was not related to the hinges, the lock itself was just very dirty. Thanks.
The inside will be rusting worse than the outside. Best cure is to use a cavity sprayer & coat the inside with ATF. They rust very moderately on the outside - it's superficial. The inside is where the real damage gets done. Trust me on that.
Great video!!
Thanks for the advise as always...! I have had 2 rear sets brake as you have indicated, now I know why. Thanking you once again. Mooi aand vir jou.
Td5 or puma??
Puma, but for the TD5 you can visit www.td5spy.co.za/ for options.
Great video, thank you so much for the unconventional advice 👍
This must be the quietest and most comfortable Defender in South Africa (not counting the new ones)
It's very quiet and definitely alot more comfortable than when it was standard. But its still a Defender🤣, problem now is the rattles coming from the typical Land rover design, you know the noises you never heard before. As well as thr fear of not hearing other issues like on the drivetrain😉
This is really well done
Thanks
Knew you were South African the moment I saw the "stop nonsense"
🤣 Typically "South African" phrasing
they look good to me
Hi mate be interesting to know what mads you have done to support this.
Hey Chris. Really just the basics. Intercooler Exhaust decat and muffler delete. Intake, I used a cone filter, you can just pull the pipe between your filter box and side panel to reduce the restriction. Then I imported the alive remote remapping kit. Hope that helps.
Bought a good few things from Albert and British Offroad, great guy and great gear
Where did you get the dashboard organiser / tray...are they still available from Alu Cab
Hello dear friend, my question if you would be so kind, is this lof spring when installed, will it relieve pressure and be enjoyable and is there a difference in the transmission of gears and its ease, your friend from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, we wish you and your family all the success and success
I’m giving Albert a try
Awesome he has a few interesting products.
You have some brilliant ideas, gonna do the same, thanking you once again.
Well done! how much kg did you save in the defender?
Hi, not sure. I removed all the equipment I didn't use. ARB bullbar, winch and additional water tank. Added the sound deadening and larger wheels so overall I would assume in the region of around 40kg.
Looks good👍 My Heritage 2016 puma has no Defender branding on the bonnet, might be a plan.
How much does the alcantara cost to do the roof
Depending on the colour you want, it can be anything from R250/m to R1000/m etc. Couldn't find a lot of places that had stock. I know Sullies fabric in Mayfair had a few colours on backorder but had no stock when I was there. The material was placed over the length of each panel as the width just didn't make it. So I ended up using close to 7m for the roof only. Did some of the smaller panels with the offcuts which helped.
Top product and I like the simplicity of the design ..I have purchased for both my landies
Weereens, baie netjies. Ek moet erken dat ek nie bewus was dat jou draai sirkel verbeter met spacers nie!! Sal dit moet oorweeg. Baie dankie vir jou inligting, waardeer dit!
Hi Johan, Dankie, die Spacers maak n groot verskil vir elkedag gebruik. Maar benodig aditionele aandag wat nie vir almal is nie.
Look at the terrafirma wheel spacers, they have a center spigot which aligns the rim keeping in perfectly center. In my mind alot better spacer (not sure on the metal quality different)
Hey Brent thanks, agree the Terrafirma Spacers are better in that respect. I would expect the material quality to also be great. The 4x4 direct spacers have a chamfer around the wheel nuts essentially doing the same thing, so not too worried about being off-centre. If we look at the OD/weight of the spacers, the chances of vibration happening is very slim, probably have a better chance of having issues with the mud terrains. The big issues usually come from rust and dirt on the mating surface. Additionally when removing spacers always mark them up so you can reinstall them in the same rotation on the same wheel as previously to prevent any chance of inducing a wobble effect.
Thank you for nice video. How much increased BHP and NM?
Hi thanks, On the stage 2 tune I'm running around 175hp @ 420NM and stage 3 tune around 190hp @ 500NM
Beautiful work can you please do a video on how to upgrade the cluster lights on the defender pumas
Hey Caiden, thanks, will definitely consider it when I get to that point.
Baie mooi. Ek hou van jou insette. Ek is ook in die prosses om die hoodliner oor te doen, matte ens. Goe ka ek met Moses kontak maak. Weereens, baie dankie vir jou puik werk, jy verdien meer likes en comments.
Hi Johan, Baie dankie ek waardeer. Sy nommer is onder in die video waar ek hom voorstel as jy dit gemis het. Maar jy kan hom kontak op +27 73 660 1722 Sterkte, hoop jy kom reg met jou projek.
Well done!! I think Moses was a great find 👍
He was a great find, without him I would probably still have been frustrated with the guys I originally asked to assist me. Additionally, we got him a sowing machine so he can continue his dream of opening a shop.
I followed your path regarding the sound proofing but finished mine before this video, now I see the extra light is a great idea 🫣. Brit parts in Pretoria have those fasteners for all the interior and ceiling parts
That's awesome, hope you are pleased with the result you got. For me, it's very notable every time I drive it. Still need to get one of those steel fasteners for the back trim piece🙃 will give them a call and see if they have stock. Adding the extra light in the middle row is quite easy just hard work to cut through the lining it is tougher than it looks😀
Skuus, ek sien nou dit is Chris. Wel gedaan, jou Landy vertoon awesome.
Dankie Johan, dit het beter uitgekom as wat ek gedink het dit sou. Sal volgende naweek die finale video uitsit wat wys hoe die dak en al die panele ook uitgekom het.
Where did you buy the felt? Was it also at Pro Auto Rubber?
Hi, Got it from Dubai Centre, just called Automotive felt.
Baie mooi, ek is besig met my 90. Ek hou baie van die Stainless steal trimming. Waar is hulle gestasioneer?
@@MdPcustoms thanks! I keep a Landy in Jhb but only come to SA twice a year so I started to redo my carpets but I just used the old felt at the time so wouldn’t mind replacing it. Did you get a company to make the front carpet though? Also keen to order those stainless trim sets, if you have a contact it would be great so I can order in advance and install them when I’m back in February.
@@justinhong929 I started with it at a company but they messed me around. I will post a video next week where you will meet Moses, he will be able to help with carpeting and other interior trims. Door sills available from Chris, contact in description as well as at the LED SHOP on Cape town the-led-shop.co.za/product-category/lr/
😍 p͓̽r͓̽o͓̽m͓̽o͓̽s͓̽m͓̽
Nice job👍 In the past I used Hammerite black spray on the rear end and after watching your video think it needs attention again. Any ideas on how to replace the two button remotes (SA)?
Thanks bud, now that it's done I can't believe I left it so long😀, are you referring to the remote to activate the alarm? if so what model defender do you have?
I have a 2015 Puma Heritage and the remotes are basically in pieces. The remote looks like a D4 remote but only has two buttons to lock and unlock
From 2014 onwards it should be as simple as putting them back together and they should work again, I know you can buy casings on eBay and just replace the internals. Maybe see if you can get a d4 remote used and swap out the internals. Frank has a website with some basics kraxlr.de/facts.html#key But doesn't talk about the details of repairing.
Thx👍
I like your video, i did mine a month ago! moving the coolant reservoir to one side helped! but the bottom bolt on the master cylinder was very difficult on my own. I used a ratchet spanner and cable tied it to the pedal spring, so it would'nt move; and undid the nut from under the bonnet. However I didn't get on with the cylinder as my bite point was 1cm from the bottom and i was unable to change it without the pedal being very very high. So for now i have swapped back to original.
Hey James, looking back now I think maybe the spring as a simpler option is worth it. I had the same issue with a low bite point but after swapping out the slave cylinder due to failure it was better. Redone the carpets in my vehicle now and with the extra thick felt at the bottom and sound-deadening material it also seems to bite quite low, helps to remove the rubber mats but still keep them in for trips. My wife manages to drive as is without complaining. Thanks for your feedback.

Hi, the Spring only assists to bring the pressure required to press on the clutch down. The gear engagement remains the same when changing gears. It is more enjoyable to drive with a lighter clutch pedal.
Hey bro do they make a difference to the brightness
Hey bud. You can see a difference in brightness in front of the vehicle. Not a big difference in general at a distance. I connected the spotlights with the brightas and made a big difference around the front of the vehicle.
What make is the obd2 plug yoy used?
Hi, it's a Vgate I car pro 4. The cheap stuff also works the only reall issue is they have a horrible delay and sometimes its difficult to connect.
One more question please. Where did you buy the foam sheets for the sound proofing ? Thx
Hi, I also got the foam sheets from Pro Auto Rubber, it's an open cell sheet with a foil on top, I'm assuming you looking for sheets for the roof lining. I would probably rather recommend the 20mm closed cell foam sheets they sell, it's a bit more expensive but it will provide better heat and sound insulation for that purpose.
Thx for the video👍 I have a 2016 2.2 Puma (Durban). I upgraded my intercooler but I’m not brave enough to remap the engine 😳
Anytime. Tuning won't damage anything when done correctly, that's why I worked with Alive because of their expertise with Defenders. Always tuned all my cars but you need to make sure you add the supporting hardware. The main thing is to keep exhaust gas temperature down and make sure the turbo operates within its curve. This requires Intercooler, exhaust (midsection removed decat) and air intake ( remove pipe between air intake and filter and add the performance air filter from Alive) this is the most important for running stage 2 software. More expensive going with Alive tuning but worth it. Been a massive improvement in drivability and feels like a new car worth every cent.
