Thanks Mike, a very useful pair of videos as you can go badly wrong doing this. My 200tdi front door bottoms had completely disappeared, rusted away, so had to move all the gubbins over to a pair of good used naked doors. Of course the rivnuts in the push button door handles just rotated out so had to get a new pair of those. I had the luxury of doing it on the bench which might have made it easier in some ways. Now have a pair of doors with the bottoms full of waxoyl that will probably outlast me. Cheers, Andrew
Just what I needed. I have searched RUclips for ages trying to find how to dismantle and rebuild a defender door. I have to replace 2 second row doors on my CSW. You have saved me a lot of wasted time and energy! - thanks again Beaufort SC.
You have been using Betaseal U-418 and I was trying to find it in the UK - would you happen to know a supplier, also for the Fluid Seal Spray. Thank you.
Thanks Mike... Another great strip down and rebuild.... Been meaning to do mine for ages... Like most landy guys I have assembled all the bits in the hallway of the house for far to long... lol J. Scotland
Very helpful - and entertaining thank you. Especially the accent - sounds like Ross Noble. 😊 Around 9:15 there's an awkward clip to replace. I found just now it is quite easy if you first connect the awkward clip then manoeuvre the panel into place. Cheers from Perth WA.
I think your videos are the best. I have started rebuilding a 1989 V8 and just would not have past go without your help. Thanks a ton. Do you have one on how to address backlash through the drive train?
What a champion. Could i suggest a video on defender wiper motors mine seems to have not enough energy to go back to the start position when the glass is dry?
I will see what I can do - I may have to get back to you later as I do not have one on hand to do a demo, but check the gearboxes on the bulkhead and if the drive cable is not kinked or the grease is dry Mike
If you haven't got or can't get one of those air pump things, then you can use a couple of those suction pad lifter things for glass. Lift the glass to the top then put the pads at the bottom of the glass so it rests on the door. Never trust anything that sucks. Use 2 for safety.
I can find for the life of me those generic channels... I'm in Perth Australia and seems to be impossible to find! Do you have any recommendations on where to get them online? Thanks Mike
Just been looking at the video just another job to do! Just a quick question why do defender have grab handles on the back i think it's a little heavy to be a barrow .
The product I use is Fluid Film www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/fluid-film-rust-and-corrosion-prevention-0381567p.html#srp It is made of lanolin and always stays sticky - good stuff! Mike
@@BritannicaRestorations worst bit was releasing the rod for the door latch. I've got the window out cleaning it and touched up the rusty bits inside the door. Fortunately it's a nice afternoon here.
Thanks merry Christmas. Just got my first LR.D90. 300tdi.
Thanks, you too!

I cannot emphasise too much how important rust proofing is on these vehicles - and not just a quick spray with a can underneath!

Thanks, life saver 👍
No problem 👍

You should see my office desk top - looks like a shelf has collapsed at Bearmach

Remnant for the Series 1 days!
Great videos well done what is the name of the spray lubricant as it’s hard to find one that doesn’t go hard after time

This is an oldie. New regulator to fit today (drivers side) looks a bit of a fiddle.
Not too bad

Anyone pick up on him saying England is a part of Yorkshire
