ABANDONED Land Rover - Will It Start ?

- We see if the old Land Rover Series 3 will start after being stood under trees for 30 years. It's no new Defender but it might just fire up, or will it ?
It would have been nice to have seen it as a barn find but being stood outside for 30 years has done it no favours. Starting old vehicles are more the style of Vice Grip Garage but with a bit of lightning from Derek, who knows ?
How to start a Land Rover
Well, hopefully... - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Gonna have to steal the "rally driver option " at some point fooking loved that, another good vid mucka
Back when they built Land Rovers that some bloke in a mud hut could fix with a shoe lace and a rock.
And I have found Bucklers suit me well, long lasting and comfortable.
Ive owned about 30 Land Rovers here in Australia. Watching that 2.25 litre engine come to life made my day. They are the sweetest little four cylinder engines. I used to be in the geology business. Our Series IIa SWB Landies had that motor. When the geos drove from Sydney to Broken Hill (a very long way), they used to use the "cruise control" otherwise called the hand throttle (fitted for winches). They would get the Landi up to "cruising speed" (what ever it would go) and then set the cruise control flat out. The engine would be revving absolutely flat out and the result of this would be that the exhaust pipe would become extremely hot making the aluminium floor also red hot. No problem - feet up on the dash and off we go. The speedo would go well past the 70mph mark. Great little beasts. Wish I still had one. (Still have a td5 Disco though for old time's sake. Mike
They are an incredible engine
The introduction played after a short preamble to the video, is a unique touch, let's the audience digest what the video is about to unfold, while reminding EVERYONE of the great equipment adventures of the past.
Absolutely love this channel , great mix of movie clips really a great addition to the video! Keep them coming! I imagine it’s helping a lot of bored folks through lockdown! 👏🏻
Another great vid , it’s so great to see the lady’s taking an interest in the old gear and doing some spannering keep it going . I’ve grown up from a very small age with land rover and I luv em 👍 . Got to say too I think the clips in between are brill , makes me chuckle plus your comments to the Bill and Ben waste of time men , great how you deal with em 👍👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it 👍
It's nice to see a young lady interested in this type of work!! Not to mention, a beautiful woman!!! Thank you my Lord muck!!!
Another great video, love the film clips too. My favourite work boots , I use Lowa renegade boots. They are comfortable , waterproof , warm , and nice and light so you can move fast ! Thanks , you do great work.
"It ain't too bad is it?" Like the Python movie - "It's only a flesh wound..." unbelievable optimism...!!!!
but its a landrover, kick it hard enough and it`ll run.. designed to be maintained in deserts or the wilderness with basic tools.
" not great, not terrible..."
Really impressed with that. First time I've ever heard a Land Rover engine going well over 4k RPM. Got a lightweight at home. Old soldiers don't die, they just go to a sleep for a bit then back on it.
14:32 send it!
Great vid, my old IIa looked like that when I first got it. Been wearing steel toe caterpillars for the last 10 years or so. Wear them every day and get about 2 years out them each time. Very comfortable!
Just found your channel and I'm loving it, it's great to see you give life back to some really nice old vehicles that would just have been left and eventually scrapped! Got my nose twitching when I saw the Land Rover though I'm going to enjoy this one I think👍I will have a tear in my eye though for my P38 I've just sold much to my regret now 😫 and it is a Sherpa I agree, top job guys. Tom
Good old British engineering...... never dies ...loving all the content even the film clip 👍
DeWalt steel toe caps for me.
Like the way you deal with the moaners!!! Keep up the good work, enjoying your vids!!!
Very satisfying to see that 2.25 fire up. I had the one in my 88" running a few years back after sitting since the 1990s.
First time watching the channel today , nearly spilt my beer laughing at the rally driver clip. good stuff!
Glad you enjoyed it
Just sat down for a cup of tea and video pops up perfect timing mucka
If it's like my coffee it's probably cold now though definitely worth it
Love it “if you don’t like it f**k off”
simple isn’t it 😂
Mighty stuff Kim and Kurt, the original 4x4, No Risk slip on's, nice and comfortable and no laces , handy when its a struggle to bend down anymore:):):)
Another great video, just love the way Kim sends everything she can, was no dought it would start if it was free, it's a landrover👍 V12 dealer boots for me.
Well here in New Zealand it would have to be the good old red bands bloody good foot wear for the paddock or the pub. Likening the content good work
We have had similar experiences, we started a 1960’s Diesel 2.25 and drove it out of the ditch. It been standing for 40 years. As for boots I use steel toe cap cat boots
Thanks for another great video.
Boots -
Being a plumber I wear lace up Dewalt boots on a daily basis, although if I am going in and out of a customer's house all the time I wear a pair of Dewalt slip on Dealer boots. Also got a nice pair of black Dr Martens steel toe caps which i keep for non damaging environments.
Away from work, if i know i don't have to take the boots off all day I have a fantastic pair of ex military dessert boots which are so comfortable, but have so many lace holes and being a tight fit mean they are a bugger to take on and off.
Great vid mucker those old landy engines are bullet proof worked ona few with my late father looked gone for all money then out of nowhere they would just fire and always sounded sweet
I'm genuinely delighted when you get them started only because I've known failure so often! You need to do a will it fly video!!! Starting them bastards is easy. It's keeping them up is the trick!! Do well
Haha, classic, ' send it, send it '. No point faffing around. Love those little movie inserts.
Great to see the old beast come back to life!! As for work boot, best I've ever had are caterpillar rigger boots. They are comfy and they last 👍
Coming from someone with a ex Royal Australian Army GS CV you’ve got a nice one there. Those 2.25L petrols are stout as a proverbial brick dunny. Mine had been abandoned for 10 years and with just fresh fuel it fired up and ticked over like a sewing machine!
Keep the film clips coming .Are we going to see some of the crawlers venturing out the shed? Another great video featuring the "carburettor expert".
For work boots it has to be a pair of John Bulls get them in NZ and shipped to the UK. Very comfortable and last years. Well recommended
Great video ,had a 1975 series 3 swb petrol Landy . Fond memories .
On the safety boots currently wearing Rock Falls -nice .
Great video. Loving the old landy 👌👌 I been wearing bucklers boots for last 5 year I guess. Usual get a year out of a pair but I on them every day and they don’t get an easy life. Usually take the toe ends out before I wear the rest out.
Keep on keeping on 👍🏻👍🏻
landys might rot but they never die - great see the rtn of "send it girl "
Great videos rev up and beep off nice one love movie clips especially Kelly's heros he a legend
Great video! The Land Rover is really a working horse starts after so many years! Bluntstones boots fits me.
Very informative, well presented! Always a joy to watch! Keep it up!
Rally driver option = pure class. New subscriber m'lord, loving what you're doing. If folk don't like it they can always foxtrot Oscar! Keep up the awesome work :)
Once again very nice video!! I love those land rovers allways dream in having one just like that, 3 series long "pick up" version! I know that exist much better boots selling in Portugal but, i use ones of the brand Capriol very confortable, nice grip and they last long!!
By the way, keep the clips in the video!! pop a laugh every time!! :D
Here I am having a day off from running our vintage & classic car restoration company and I come across your videos! Totally hooked and now I want to restore a lil tractor 🚜🤣
We have a few in stock currently that are ripe for restoration or finishing... 😉
No risk slip on. Great video as always I love the little clips you add in them
Sweet runners them early Land Rover engines, looks like another resto for the list 😁😁, Best work boots for me are made by Dickies
Work boots- Wolverine
Can we have a montage video of her smile? Its downright contagious.
Lovely video, A great little engine that.
I use Crocs, they are simply the best when working on heavy machines. Not the best for welding though...
Taken me long enough to get round to watching it after asking for more landrover videos. Cheers mucka enjoyed that.
Love the "rally driving option"
‘Send the Thunder’, bit of Vice all the way, ‘I don’t know’ lol
Well, I'll be dipped!
Great vid nice to see it running . Love the clips keep up the good work 👍 .
I was on fork trucks and lorries for the last 17 years of my working life and our company insisted we wore "Plus 50" toe protection they were ok once we got used to them and towards the end they made trainers with toe protection.Great video once again.Cheers.
I love the clips. They're hilarious.
Red back work boots. Lived in them for years.
Dunlop thermo wellies.. Bit numb to start with when you first get some but once you've learned how to walk and drive again when wearing them nowt better and they last a long time too. Great videos by the way very good top tip about having a battery on the right angle so all the power runs to that end. I remember someone fitting a new battery on a series 3 and started it up, looked happy with a job well done and shut the bonnet.. Engine died immediately. The bonnet support shorted out the battery terminals !!
Another cracking vid mucka, looking forward to the next one, my work boots are amblers, got them last year and i find them the best ones ive had many different makes n these by far have stood up to a lot of abuse and are still going strong.
I like the pictures and having a good laugh!
I freakin' love the cutaway! Reminds me of Family Guy.
Conway twitty 😁
Another great video. I had a 2 1/4 petrol LR for many years and travelled all over the country in it .
I get a pair of buckler Buckshot boots from the Does show every year which seem to last about a year
Excellent question my lord. Carolina boots are my favorite. Been through a lot of crap ones till I found these. As others have said the rally driver line is priceless. I bow down once again to your genius my lord.
Damn it if I didn’t have a nocturnal mechanical fantasy last night that our hero Lord Muck found an abandoned Rolls Royce Griffin and did a ‘Will it start’ video. Pondering it further with the eyes open, I think it’s a bloody good idea! I’m guessing there aren’t too many barns across the pond with a Merlin, Griffon or Napier Sabre tucked inside, but if anyone could find one and get it started, I’d put my money on #LM2020
Best landrover engine ever fitted, I covered 250,000 miles in the one I had Towed upto 4.5 ton at times
Great video as always! For work boots i loved the JB Goodhue California's but they've sense been discontinued a good replacement i found is the timberland pros.
Always like watching videos like these and I still miss my '63 2a after 25 years. It was my 1st car, spent my time getting it roadworthy while learning to drive, so it was ready for when I passed my test, used it for a lot of my apprenticeship in terms of the work I did on it was submitted as evidence for my NVQ.
Another bonus was the 2.25 petrol ran on pretty much anything and as an apprentice, anything it would run on was great. there were a number of car hire and body shops on the industrial estate and the garage I worked at was opposite the petrol station, so as you could probably imagine, lots of people misfueled their courtesy or hire car, we'd pull it into our workshop, drain the fuel and put fresh correct in. Rather than pouring the contaminated fuel into the waste fluid tank, it all went straight into my Land Rover, sometimes I could have as much as 75% diesel/25% petrol, but she always started and thanks to those people's misfortunes, I was able to have fuel for my social life and keep my money back for other stuff.
I ended up selling it to a farmer in the Bristol area to use as a farm hack, but not sure if he ever took it home or left it at his parent's farm in East Sussex, it doesn't appear to have had a MOT (although now MOT exempt) for a very long time and after his parents died, the farm was sold and barns converted into homes, so it quite possibly ended up at a local scrap yard, although it isn't marked as being scrapped by DVLA, so who knows whatever happened to it.
I absolutely love the clips my first comment 👍👍
Excellent !
Cheapest ones going Absolutely love the videos Keep telling The moaners To rally off Absolute love it Some ofthe best put-downs ever
Great vid as always 👍 Work boots wise - gotta be the Bucklerz dealer boot for me - great fit.
Started wearing Redback safety boots a couple of years ago. All day comfy, massive recommendation.
V12 rawhide dealer boot's had might for over 2 years and wear them ever day for work
like like always :)
Thanks again!
Screwfix Site Mudguard Safety Dearler boot. Brilliant a pair last 3/4 years, comfortable to wear all day, can't really fault them cheap too. Another great interesting post thanks and take care.
Please don’t ever stop adding in the video clips. Love ‘em mucka! 😄
The older landies go forever, my 110 200tdi has 270,000 miles on it, never had engine or box rebuilt. All you need to do is piss in the coolant every now and then and feed her some 5w 30 every Christmas.
Bahaha “like a rally car f:€k:ng buzz off!” -
All right, you've got me hooked !! Great videos friend !!👍👍
Those old Land Rover 2 quarter engines are just brilliant aren’t they, your Lordship and you are absolutely correct in your message to those who do not like the film clips(I do) so please keep them coming.
As far as work boots 🥾 goes, I have had so many over the past 34 years that it’s really hard for me to say which ones I liked the most and have been the most comfortable too, sorry your Lordship I don’t have answer for you, but still you really do a great job with your vids and you work really well with your glamorous assistant and I can’t wait to see your next video. TaTa till next time.
Cheers Jack.
"Spunk puffin"
What’s the point on trying to start it, you need to wash it first 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🍷🍷🍷
Dig the Rally Driver option, the clips are always fun! Just wish I could find a Land Rover like this, talk about a dream come true yeah. Another great video, hope we'll see this girl restored & on the road in the future.
Only if it's in a cup holder of someone drinking Coke while driving another vehicle....
The funny clips make your videos special Mucka... have me in stitches quite often!!.. 🤣🤣 keep up the great vids Mucka.. Top bloke 👌👍
Superb! Very interesting for me as I have a series 3 that has sat since it’s road tax ran out in 1995. I saved it about ten years ago from the scrap man but not done anything with it yet myself. Just the inspiration I needed to have a go with it. Love how you tell people to f*** off if they don’t like your videos 😂😂
Great to see a proper Landy. I've always got on well with Dunlop wellies and CAT work boots.
The video inserts are what makes them funny and entertaining mate, keep up the hard work 👌
Great vid you two .
Bit of scaffold pipe welded on the exhaust and straight in for a mot.
After 40 odd years I've finally found a comfy workboot they are scruffs and I can almost get 12 months out of a pair.
Sorry to say I cant remember the last time I work work boots, I'm an office worker these days though I've been working from home since March. Still I love what you do so keep up the great work.
For work boots I prefer (Danner, Quarry) work boots. They are very high quality for here in the states. I have had them resole a pair I had 3 times before the uppers went bad after 6 years of use. Thanks for another great video.
You really gave me a good laugh today when I needed it with the rally driver option. Thanks, keep up the good work.
Yep, was a laugh out loud moment for me too!
That was great to see, well done both of you. Riggers boots by Karrimor very comfortable.
Good old 2and quarter bish bash bosh and it's a runner. A pair of x parra boots nice and comfortable. Nice one mate good un👍
Dickies monegal 2 can’t go wrong. Had mine for a little over 5 years, ends are worn out but they get more comfortable every time I wear them. Great video my lord 👍
Love the VGG reference,perfect video to have a wobble pop to...well done sir :-)
Brilliant as always Mucka. V12 dealer boots every time. Last pair lasted 3 years my current pair have been going a year and half still going strong
Awwww mucker a Landie, you have cheered me right up. My second car was a series 3 2 1/4 Lwb safari, then drove em in the army. Going to love this . Thanks again
Steve 👍👍
Great video & awesome to see that engine fire up. As for best work boots, either Altberg, AKU or Danner.
Great vid ! 8” Georgia boots are my go to work boots.
fantastic video
Mukkas is what us ex Rhodesians call our mates, and it was wonderful to hear you use it!
Cheers!
Yep, same use here 👍
First time watching, loved the reference to Derek @VGG and the clips. Keep having fun over there!
Excellent. I notice that your S3 didn't have the usual ex-mod modifications of bent bumper where they had been pushing something too heavy and the wing dents. Loved my ex army S3, although electrics were interesting as she was a 24v FFR option. Sadly parted with her as she only did 15 miles to gallon was definately a a sad day. Work boots - Caterpillar.
As I sit here in lockdown and think back on this year, I have to say Lord Muck has helped keep me sane. In addition to the Covid, it’s a challenge taking care of my dad, who has memory loss. Sometimes we will watch together, and while he doesn’t always understand the humor or why anyone would want to watch a 60 year old crawler start up, he does admire your mechanical abilities. Thank you
Send him my regards 👍😉
@@LordMuck Thank you, I will
Great video, rally driver option was brilliant
Nice to see the Landy kick up. My favourite workboots are Mongrel brand from Australia. They have shock absorbent soles.
Great videos mate & V12 Dealer boots are my favourite boot
Another good video was surprised to see how clean the carb was inside .
Boots just cheap screw fix site thingy have them on 6 days up to 12hours a day .
Great for indoor garage work not sure how they would last out in the field
Great video.the boots I use are from screwfix called site for me they are really comfortable and cheap about £30 which iam a self employed gardener pushing a mower round all day they are fantastic
