More than your amazing skills over all, you do it alone ?!?! I never could☺
Yep just me in the workshop. I swear some folk think I have an army working in the background. I flippin love my job though
That HubNut gets everywhere!😅
Yep he does 😃
His is more of a family show than this rust laden profanity fest
Lots of good tips in this one.
Fabulous as always,
Loads of info crammed in 20 mins, I’m will be tackling the same job on a disco 1, very soon , wealth of information, thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Got this exact job to do on my Disco 1 , plus the whole rear floor 🙈
I have a Canadian So lhd 1991 Classic vogue 3.9 no rust at all I use it everyday needs headlining and paint 89000 miles from new If you know anyone that wants it, it is for sale it is in Spain at the moment I also have a 1986 for parts with a good chassis and some spares both front doors are like new. Maybe one of your customers would want it.
Nothing wrong with a 300tdi.
Prefer the 200 myself.
correct, just a much more complex than the 200tdi, too much EGR and electronics for my taste
@@churchhouseclassics no electronics on the manual 300tdi. The injector pump on the autos is more complicated so might be electronics involved there, I'm not sure. The EGR is simple enough to blank off.
Did you buy the crossmember already made or did you make it?
bought it, two styles are available, one is widely available which is what I used here the other follows the original design and is sold by ABE www.ebay.co.uk/str/atkinsondiagnostics
Am going to be replacing mine soon, just worried as mine is a petrol and welding close to it, do you think tank out or will it be ok
Safety says tank out, you need to be sensible, can you smell fuel near the tank? If so fix that and while the tank is out you can weld in the new cross member. In reality where you are welding is some distance from the sealed fuel tank. I do some safety checks and then if satisfied will weld with fuel tank in place.
Hi ,love what your doing would send beer moneys, but don't use PayPal...beers on me if you ever visit ibiza.
Got myself a 93 4 Doors 200tdi,who needs sills etc, your videos are very helpful, wanting to take the rear wings off, but nobody,nor you mention that they are spot welded on the rear door gap....is it unique to mine?
Why would they do that!? The rivets on my 89 2 Doors are doing the trick perfectly...
Thanks for the great job anyway.
There should be a return edge on the rear wing, then a steel strip with two bolts welded onto it fits into the return edge and when pushed through the two holes at the top of the outer wheel arch section can be bolted up.
Aluminium and bare steel rarely still exist because of the corrosion so I make up an L section and pop rivet it to the rear wing.
Awesome! Doing this job myself in a few weeks, this stuff is invaluable. Do you have the links you mentioned (or am I blind)? Cheers
Just added them into the description 👍🍻
@@churchhouseclassics Great, thanks!
Just Love to see GALVANISED PROPER EQUIPMENT as opposed to the shit factory product
I refer you to my previous answer about cost accountants approving something that might only become effective after 10 years (some way beyond the average life of a vehicle during this period). Very few manufacturers considered rust prevention like Porsche and VW during this era
When aftermarket exhausts are fitted with the Tail Pipe Directly straight out the rear !- looks ALL WRONG and TERRIBLY COMMON !!!!!!!. The Original position of the tail pipe angled off to the nearside looked SO CLASSY ! Especially with the tail pipe end/s cut off at 45- 50 degrees
In your most humble opinion I guess?!?
I think also that by the time the EFI 3.9 came out in 1989 the exhaust came out more like this item
Why the HELL DONT LAND ROVER Blow a couple o gallon of wax oil in the inner wings whilst in build FFS !!!!!!!
When you think that the average life of a car is less than 10 years, the cost accountants at the factory wouldn't authorise a cost for something that might help 20 years down the line. Margins are tight enough already on new cars without adding in that level of detail.
Both you and I would argue against that but then I am living a comfortable life from making these beautiful cars good again
