Thats great mate! I'm still loving mine. Glad we could help with your choice. Thanks for watching. 🤠

Oh really. I'll have a look next time i'm under there.!

Oh mate. I hate this job. I dread it every service! Thanks for watching

Ahh I see. Thats a good idea. I'll do another when the renovation is complete :) Thansk for watching and Keep camping 🤠

Hi, so sorry for the late reply, we're on holiday at the moment. If it has a Dip-stick, it's either a different engine (not 2.7, 3.0 TDV6 or SDV6) or it's a Disco 3. I'm not fully across all engines and variants in territories. Best of luck mate

Thats great mate! It's literally why I made these and i'm so pleased to have helped. Thanks for watching! (Sorry for the late reply, we're away on holiday)

Hey mate! Sorry for the late reply. (we've been moving house). Are you in Oz? I got this kit at www.youtube.com/@klrautomotive3772 They're a good LR service house in NSW. This one is a NON OEM pack, but i found the parts really good and comparible to the OGs. klr.com.au/land-rover/discovery/discovery-4/spares-and-parts/filters-and-servicing/service-kit-discovery-4-3-0-tdv6/ Let me know if you need anything else 🤠

@campingbegins No need to apologise mate, I really appreciate the response 👍 I'm in Aus, so I'll check out the link. Thanks again mate.

Thats a great result ! I always try to make my videos useful. Best of luck and keep camping 🤠

Hahaha ! It's definately NOT a 2 minute 'down' lol. Havr a look a our pack down vid: czcams.com/video/5YXQaeFkG30/video.htmlsi=ZpwpLkhP5tyTrsSz Thanks for watching and keep camping 🤠

Yes. Absolutely. There is a clutch. Have a look at the video where I engage / disengage the wheel clutch.

Many thanks for watching!

Hi, I'm definately NOT a mechanic so might be best to call your local garage. That said, if your D3 has an electronic handbrake (parking brake) it my have seized. I'd start there... Best of luck!

That's lovely news mate! Exactly why I do these videos. Best of luck.

Hi Barbara, that's great to hear. I'm so pleased and that's why I make these videos. Good luck with the Caravan and enjoy yourself.

Mate, that's a brilliant idea! Keep them coming 😇. I've expanded my service log to a new notebook where I keep all receipts and part numbers I rip off the packaging stapled to the page with the date and mileage (KMs in Australia), like my own record. Old school but nice to have with the vehicle. Thanks again for watching!

Cheers Russ! We really do appreciate the support. In real time (April 2024) we're at the point of heading off on our 1800 Km journey in 2 weeks and she's NEARLY ready to tow! Now has driving lights, legs, reflectors etc. It's a massive job getting an entire household ready to move interstate and adding the Hotrod into the mix has been a challenge to say the least. She's watertight and stable now and we're really looking forward to getting some footage of the trip! Thanks mate 🤠

@@campingbegins So cool. Look forward to seeing the footage. So is that WA or QLD you're heading to? Happy to see you if you stop on the way to QLD. Cheers.

@@campingbegins Oops - can't be WA - much further! LOL!

Thanks Sandra! We really appreciate you watching. There more videos to come, just finding time to edit them at the moment. 🤠

You're very welcome friend! Thanks for watching and keep camping! 🏕🤠

So nice of you to say. Many thanks for watching!

🤣No problem! We're glad to have helped. Thanks for watching and keep camping! 🤠

@simonpearson8757 That's great news! I know what you mean, everyone thinks vehicles like this are super complicated and expensive. But they are quite modular. I just want to show anyone interested that cars like this can be maintained and have a long life while serviced from home on the driveway. Don't start me on Gorillas. they mostly work in the dealerships! I'm very please you got over the line without hemorrhaging too much money! Thanks very much for the feedback and support, I really appreciate it. Cheers mate 🤠

Hey there! Thanks for watching 🤠 The manual states: Maximum Capacity 6000lbs. (2722kg) on level ground. (has loads of Torque) I've not seen any other reference to this but where I bought it from does say: Please note: This unit will not suit double axle trailers due to the lack of weight on the jockey wheel for grip. However, i've NOT seen this stated anywhere else, even on the official site. They're now known as ' Mini Mover 3 PLUS '. (upgraded bracket) Official data sheet here: static1.squarespace.com/static/60bfbd0b1720da7008743db3/t/65ba57ea0d88b8638ee1c63c/1706711021660/MM3%2B+Manual+1-31-2024.pdf Cheers mate.

G'Day Mate! LOL Yeh, they make the job so much easier and cleaner! Thanks for watching 🤠

Hello friend! This is the BEST comment we've ever received 🥰 Did your family have something like this caravan? It must have been awesome as a child travelling around on holidays. We don't know much about it and this is our first caravan, but we believe it is a 1965 'Hot Rod' hand made caravan. It's Kirsten's baby really, the kids have flown the coop and we had a CZcams channel already so I thought we should document the restoration. (I cut out the marital 'debates' we have LOL so we appear to be a wholesome family 🤣). Kirsten wants to polish her but i'm hoping for a cool paint job, so let's see who wins that debate... The videos are a month or two behind as we both work full time so doing the restoration work and editing the videos does take a lot of time. We're in the process of moving interstate from Victoria so the main focus is on getting it road worthy, QUICKLY! I'm looking forward to recording some of the trip. Thanks so much for leaving a comment we really do appreciate the support and hopefully will get to the Blue Mountains one day. Being from the UK, we aim to see all of Australia! Keep Camping 🤠, Adam and Kirsten.

So cool. My dad had something similar so good memories to watch yours. I think it is now well and truly in caravan heaven.🤔 As for family, that you do it together - even with 'debates' is a wonderful thing. I'm a bit biased on polishing (love the look of Airstream glistening) - perhaps polish first and see - then paint if not the result wanted - "debate" counselling. 😇 Enjoy the relocation and seeing Oz - there are so many magical places, particularly if you get off the beaten track, although some of those tracks might be a bit of a stretch for "Hot Rod" - have a name for her yet? - must name caravans before setting out, otherwise they get grumpy😂. And of course, being Ozzie, it has to end in "ie" - we shorten everything! 🙄😂 I will enjoy watching you adventures. Cheers, Russ@@campingbegins

Hi, this was recorded in June 2022, the snow came a little early that year!

Thanks Terry! We're in Australia so all in Kilometers mate. Just short of 240,000 kms, around 150,000 Miles. Cheers for watching and thanks for the support 🤠

Yes. There is definitely some oil leakage while stored, not much but there is some. I keep it stored in a heavy duty plastic bag which helps. I've had a few chainsaws in my time and they have all leaked one way or another. I've seen some videos about 'fixing' with a rubber 'O' ring but this is not where is leaks from. Thanks for watching! 🤠

@@campingbegins thank you very much for your reply. I found it very disappointingfrom a brand like this to have this issue. I had another one with like 60 euros and never had a leak. It is almost not usable for me. I cannot travel with dewalt in my trunk. I have to empty and refill every single time i have to use it... I cannot have even in storage. I sent it to service and they dont even admit that it leaks...

@@campingbegins and it is not from the oring, i agree.

This guy reckons he fixed it on this video but reading the comments is interesting too: czcams.com/video/9Cin-YTflZA/video.htmlsi=Ihzipzh6yA6hy9fK

Totally agree mate! Thanks for watching 🤠

Hey Peter 👋🏻 Thanks mate! Yeh we moved from Burnley (no jokes lol) in the UK around 10 years ago. Thanks for watching 🤠

Correct! We're completely amateurs. Maybe the 'Camping Begins' gave us away? I thought 2 minutes roll up and strap was pretty good. We're always looking for ways to improve our experience. Do you have a video of your method? Feel free to link here to your video: Thanks for watching and Keep Camping! 🤠

Oh wow, thanks for the comment! I do think that some days...

Oh thats a shame! I've had a few people tell me Adventure Kings aren't great at warranty claims. There defintely are more expensive, possibly better units on the market. I do like the product though and not had any issues to date. They have changed the product since recording, it's a slightly different unit now so maybe more reliable? We have one in each of our cars ( LR Disco 4 and Jeep Patriot (lovely wife leaves the lights on very often lol)) These have actually got us out of a few situations to be honest so i'm glad to have them in our cars. I'll update if we have any issues. Thanks for watching mate and keep Camping 🤠

Yes mate, they're a game changer for loads of camping gear. I use them for all sorts of jobs. Thanks for watching and keep Camping! 🤠

Hahahaha i'm not going to tell her that... 🤣Thanks for watching mate!

Hey, thats great advice thank you! Cheers for the support too, I really appreciate it mate.

Definitely Valves open for rolling up, then close the once rolled up. I find it still expands even when valves tightened up when stored away. Thanks for watching!

She always is! 🤠

Oh thats genius! Simple but clever. I've literally just got it out and put a spoon in the pocket lol! Thanks for watching mate and keep camping 🤠

Where are you set up in this vid? Looks lovely!

Thanks Sandra! It's taking longer than we thought but really coming together now.

Hi @blackvulcan100, I didn't top the rest up actually. Just keeping my eye on it closely over the next couple of months. I was late changing this time and was surprised to only extract 4.7ltrs. Probably will have to do a top up at some point. You're right about the FIlter caps but I don't have a torque wrench. I think i'll invest in one soon. Cheers mate and thanks for the support!

Hahhaha Nearly mate but good guess! We're from Burnley, about 20 miles north of Manchester. Thanks for watching 🤠

I love the D3! Thanks for watching Dave 🤠

I'm in Victoria, Australia. What do you think the benefits of 5W40 over 5W30 are for us down here?

It is a bit thicker once up to running temp. It needs to be a bit thicker as the Rod bearings are thinner than normal and the way the crankshaft oils the two outer sets of bearings. You notice a difference in the running note of the engine once started and the rattle goes faster running on 5w40 instead of 5w30.

@@andieconcarnie That's really interesting, my D4 has clocked 235,000KMs (around 146.000 miles) in a sub-tropical environment ( Victoria and NSW) is it an 'age' thing or has the Oil technology changed? Also is there a specific Oil? Like the Castrol says 5W30 'A3/B4', I find the whole engine oil marketplace a minefield. What do you use? Where are you in the world? Sorry that's lots of questions but i'm usually a 'by the book' person. Cheers, and genuinely Thanks for watching mate.

So nice to see a rust free chassis! Every time I get under the D4 over here in the UK I think “how long do you have left?”!! used to live in Oz and the one thing you knew you didn’t have to fight on the car was a rounded, rusty, seized bolt. Still putting 5w30 in my 170,000 miles D4.

@@richardwinder9608 Oh mate, I know, took me a while to realise why the cars over here don't rust like in the UK! We have the sea salt but you soon get used to washing the car off after a swim. What year / spec is your D4? Thanks for watching 🤠👨‍🔧

Hi @ahmedzeidan6099, this was exactly what I was referring to in the video. I may consider changing to 5W40 next service! Thanks for watching

Yeh on such a small car / engine bay, seems an odd design choice to me! Thanks for watching mate.
