    Happy New Year Mike, and long may yer lum reek!
    Meaning long may your chimney smoke, an old Scottish saying 😊
    These old trucks do take more time and learning of many new skills to restore and enjoy. But there isn't anything else like them, and I'm nearly there with getting my 300TDI Pick-up with Ifor Williams farmy canopy back and ready for her MOT.
    Replaced footwells, bulkhead feet, O/S front outrigger, discs calipers some brake pipes, rebuilt both door bottoms, and had to learn how to shrink Aluminium as O/S driver had an inch if filler that cracked after putting skin back. It's a week spent with heat and a slapper, but now no oil canning and tight as a drum. New foam on seat bases and OEM copied heated seat install but keeping origional washed fabric; plus all the servicing and replaced seals and a stub axle and half shaft.
    Your honest entertaining and knowledge building videos are a wonderful source of reference and information, that have helped me better find my way through all these challenges, so thank you Sir 😊
    MOT's on 14th Jan and with your help I will make it with a few days to spare 🤞
    Parts are much cheaper here, and the challenge worth it. Shooting quality raptor anti corrosive primer and 2K paint; also protected by Waxoyl with the same gun as yours may help keep everything good for years too.
    Hope 2025 is a good year for you, and you can keep the RUclips going for the Global Landy community 🍀

    Even if they have often made my heart drop after I've done 'The Thing' - because of the things you made me think about, that I hadn't thought about while I was happily doing the 'Thing ' - all the while thinking I had done the 'Thing' pretty well...
    Then couldn't sleep, because I had watched one of your videos about the 'Thing' only afterwards, and couldn't remember if I'd even done the 'Thing' properly - far less thought about how horribly wrong everything could go if I hadn't done the 'Other Thing' 😂

    Land Rovers are cars that take a lot of commitment by their owners and require a lot of attention, who better than you can provide us with the help in doing so.
    All the very best in 2025.

I agree with your point that you should learn to DIY. It make Landrover ownership affordable and rewarding. As I live about 6 miles away from the Midleton Jamesons distillery I will send you a photo with my Defender outside the visitor centre.

    Abandonment of projects must be sad, but with the UK at the moment it must be heartbreaking after completing and it gets stolen (big problem here).
    You’re right on the money with having to fix cars yourself as paying someone else is not financially worth it. This’ll be the death of many a classic car as many people can’t be bothered learning how to do things themselves, and just pay others.

    Hi Mike, I know where your coming from about farming out jobs when fixing old vehicles, I'm doing up a 1949 P3 rover at the moment, in Melbourne, Australia, I need to repair the engine, as a previous owner who must have had shares in the bathroom silicone factory left the stuffed head gasket on and put silicone in as well, engine repair businesses want at least $6,000. Just for labour, so have to do it myself. Then there's the long wait for parts from England. What fun. Hope you have a happy and safe New Year for you and your family

    I'm in Yorkshire. Just returned from the pub. This afternoon, I cocked up some internal screwcutting relating to a 90 year-old earcold Vauxhall, which belongs to a friend. Hopefully, sort it out later today. Thanks for all the videos. I haven't had a Land Rover since 2005 when I bought a Jeep Cherokee. That served me for 18.5 years. Now I have a Singapore Import Toyota Estima. It suits my hobby to cart model steam locos about.

    Happy New Year to you. I have really enjoyed watching your videos and chatting with you on the phone. I totally agree with you that if you buy an old vehicle you need to be able to do most of the work yourself. If not you should be able to learn how to. If not it is not worth it. Some day I will come up and visit your shop and maybe we can do some wrenching together. Cheers

    greetings from south america and a happy new year and all the best for you and your family, king mike
    things getting more complicated nearly by the hour. spare parts are a lottery, not only the myth of the tough going anywhere vehicle is getting his grey hair, also the owner or the want to be an owner community,too.
    its getting more difficult to keep them on the road.
    like i alway say
    - if you dont have space
    - if you dont have time
    - if yoy dont have a well suited wallet
    - if you dont have at least a little bit of mecanic blood in your vein
    do yourself a favour and step away from a land rover project.
    for all the rest of you, keep on making land rovers better. happy new year and good luck to all of you!

    Hi Mike
    hope you saw the new year in with a good tipple and a moment to relax, Funny you should mention project restorations, just watched a video of a series 3 that was cleaned up a little, no major work involved by a guy that was no mechanic and farmed out a job or two in the hope of making a pound, in fact he ended up out of pocket when sold and did state he enjoyed the process of doing it, don't buy a Land Rover if you don't like fixing stuff, that's why we're called enthusiasts ( nuts to many others ) and enjoy tinkering, will pick your brain on 11 inch dual cylinder brake shoe orientation for 2.6 and V8 series Land Rovers, I'm interested to see who says shoes left and right ( usual configuration ) and those that say shoes top and bottom ( bus and truck configuration ) which is correct ?
    Happy New Year...
