"... I'm desperate to blow some seals...". So, this Penguin walks into a bar......... 😂 Brilliant tho! Every shop should do this.
Indeed!
Well done Doctor Mike . We love your little experiments... you was like a kid in a candy store when you found the intermediate shaft leak . Thanks for filming and showing everybody exactly what you have been saying for years. Cheers from Tasmania 👌😁
I knew these leaked oil, but the first time I tested before stripping!
The makers of EP90 gear oils may try to destroy Mike’s machine. 😂
Think of all the puddles of gear oil left by all the Land Rovers of the world…🤔
LoL!
As someone picking up an lt230 eBay special tomorrow, I’m so grateful you went to this effort. PTFE tape on that diff lock sensor is added to the job list too now. Bravo
Glad I could help
More 'leeks' than my local fruit and veg shop. Good experiment which highlights all the design flaws perfectly. Great little pressure adapter.
Many thanks!
Great stuff Mike. Fascinated to see how one of your rebuilt ones does pressure wise.
I’ll get one of mine on the test bench as soon as I get the chance, it will be interesting to see!
Mike, the first leak you picked up from the two bolt holes, I was thinking, the Intermediate shaft will definitely be leaking for sure, if it didn't leak it'd be the only one ever made that didn't!
Yep, it's pretty much a given on these!
a fantastic easy to make tool. now there is no need for the smoking machine. macgyver at his best. well done, king mike!
I always try to make things as simple as possible!
To be honest that is a good cheap setup for any DIY mechanic to knock up at home, way cheaper than a smoke machine.
Exactly!
I'm impressed your knees can take kneeling on the concrete floor Mike.
That's a great video, very good.
Heated floor!
@ 😃
Very clever a very quick easy to make leak tester
Glad you think so!
@@BritannicaRestorationsI do! I like stuff like that!
You should see the injector test bench I am making!
@@BritannicaRestorations I hope I do!!!
It's when they stop leaking is when you have a real problem!
Like British bikes...
You got excited like david Attenborough discovering a new species when you found that leak.😅
I love your enthusiasm 😊
Sinking rapidly!
Mike's unquenchable enthusiasm is what makes his videos so much fun. Of course we pretend to be seeking information too 😅. 😂😂😂🤣🤣
Like a kid on Christmas Day! 😂
Forensic level Investigation 🔍😂
Lol! Thanks!
Very good video. And very interesting too see were the leaks are. Keep up the good work
Glad you enjoyed!
Brilliant video Mike.
It's crazy how much it was leaking.
Yes it was!
Bloody Awesome catch Mike. love your work dude. Hi from Australia🍻
Thanks for the support from down under!
An excellent device! You are having far too much fun there Mike, I have just bought a transfer box from Ashcroft and had the option of having the steel bushing, which I took, I wonder why the end of this shaft has not got a bolted cover plate over it? Chris B.
The shaft has to move in order to crush the bush in the intermediate shaft, but this means the shaft can move side to side hence the steel bush is needed - a cover plate would stop leaks, but not solve the shaft banging about
Brilliant.
You come up with some cracking testers
Thanks - you have to test everything before it goes out - it is a Land Rover after all, NOT a Toyota!
With my 1987 military NINETY, all it is, I lay underneath the vehicle, and if it drips oil on my nose, I know that all is compliant with Land Rover manufacturer's regulations. 😉 Surprised you didn't know that 🤷♂️.
As they used to say with British bikes = if it has no leaks - it has no oil in it...
Nearly every defender transfer box leaks. And now u actually found the real place were they leak and probably from the factory .
The very first LT230 had a much bigger shaft and less likely to leak - but these have all gone now
I could drain my veggies with that box :)
Lol!
Is there a proper fix for the intermediate shaft seal Mike?
The only way is a steel bush in the casing - the shaft chatters about in the housing and the hole becomes elongated - a new O ring helps - but not for long, as they become hard and leak again
@@BritannicaRestorations great thanks Mike.
I supouse i can do this with the lt230 while its on the vehicle
Yes, you could - BUT it is best with no oil in, as oil in the bottom of the casing will not be forced out under 2-3 psi - but air will find the smallest gaps
I build build the shaft up and make it over size bore the case to clean then machine the shaft to fit
You have to think of the next person building the box - by putting a bush in the casing you can then use standard shafts, as they wear where the bearings run.
We have been doing boxes this way for 6 years and never had a leak
You've got a sieve not a transfer box. :)
This gearbox leaks by every hole like a cook strainer 😄.
