- This guide was created to help you with the building and troubleshooting of the LEGO Technic 42110 Land Rover Defender set. This is a great set with a complex gearbox that can run smoothly, but there are a lot of traps during the building process that are not easy to avoid, I'm here to help you with these and also to find the root cause of the problems of you made any mistakes.
The video is best used through my blog post that has a list of the issues per building step and also per symptom, I suggest to use that one as a starting point:

You are amazing!
@RacingBrick Hello dear fellow! I got a probably silly question, why put the red tough spring in front of the grey soft spring? I was wondering this because I got the idea of putting it the other way around to first have a soft bump onto obstacles and then have a tight stopper for the bump! As in you drive onto a rock and have the soft spring Feathering in (I don't know how else to word this, what I mean is the spring stick to slide into the outta pipe, hope this is helping to understand my shitty English lol) and letting the bump push the front wheels up and then having the tough spring in the back of the two spring front suspension to absorb the last bit of energy to have a "more comfortable" "driving experience", I don't know if this makes any sense and would love to hear your opinion on this 😂 (and everyone's else's thoughts as well!)
@@Marlon_J. there's no real "driving experience" with a non-motorized LEGO car :) You can play around with the springs but I think the hardness-softness was tuned to keep the body level, so the designer was mostly considering the weight of the car.
@@RacingBrick ah alright, thx man! And yeah to the experience thing, it's hard for me to find the best words sometimes 😂
@RacingBrick
I unfortunately placed the front wheel differential facing top. How should I place it to bottom without damaging the model? Help me...
"As you see you really get the full Landrover owner's experience with this car"!!!! Great video. I don't even own the model (yet) and thought it was outstanding!
"as you see you get the full landrover experience with this car"
@Racing Brick - thank you for sharing your passion, with those of us who were stranded, with a distraught young child, unaware of what was wrong with their LEGO set, that they have been working on for the past 4 months. It wouldn't roll, because the back tires were blocked. After watching your video, I easily fixed the problem, and because of you - I look like a hero. For that - I THANK YOU.
Thank you for the nice words, I'm really glad I could help!
Wow even the lego Land Rover has problems. It’s just like the real thing😂
True!
very true
i for sure find lego landrover a problem i am at screaming point just about to give up and make it a non working technic landrover
Hammond: you had a Land Rover didn’t you?
May: yeah
Hammond: did yours ever... What’s it called... um... Work?
I has problems
The full Land Rover owner’s experience - truly hilarious!
You do a fantastic job with these videos. The camera angles, the verbal explanations and the hand demonstrations are top quality and extremely easy to follow along with. My hat is off to you, sir.
You are a SAVIOUR my Friend !! I had the rear axle not moving and after hours of building this it was a disappointment. Following you superb instructions, the sorrow turned to joy in a few mins. Thanks a ton for posting so much helpful information. You ROCK !!!
How did you fix the rear axle?
Living in England I wanted to build a right-hand drive version. Our friendly designer Grohl says just mirror-build it, left to right. The box arrived today so I now have to try to get my head around building the chassis as per the instructions, but mirror imaging the build of all the drive train and steering. Wish me luck. This excellent video may come in useful
What I found out is that the fake engine is the biggest cause of the gears getting stuck. The crankshaft needs to hit the pistons with some force, if not, they get stuck and the gearbox gets stuck which makes the wheels get stuck.
The crankshaft from the manual fires 2-1-1-2. If you change it to 2-1-2-1, you'll get a better balanced force that goes through the fake engine. Definatly helped for me!
I've also build the version from jb70 from rebrickable, that drivetrain moves smoother because there are no u-joints. He did a great job redesigning the drivetrain, also fixes the Hi-Lo sticker working correctly. Would recommend it to everyone.
Also Racingbrick, you're awesome doing all the video's on this set. It's a great set to build and to have, and helping people having problems is always a good thing!

Oh mec, c'est exactement sur ce dernier point que je me suis penché hier, après avoir cassé une pièce. Comme toi j'ai trouvé que les pistons moteur à eux seuls étaient difficiles à entraîner. ça me rassure que je ne suis pas le seul à imaginer ce problème. Peux-tu montrer les photos du vilebrequin/de l'axe moteur corrigé. As-tu lien de la vidéo où il modifie le système avec les arbres de transmission (en espérant qu'il ne faille pas d'autres pièces que celle du set sinon pas envisageable pour moi). Mais changer la hauteur ou la configuration des pistons me semble être une voie à explorer. Faut juste voir comment réorganiser le jeu de pistons. Inverser les deux différentiels d'axe pour faciliter la marche avant au détriment de la marche arrière (qui je pense n'utilise quand même pas la totalité de la transmission) peut résoudre en partie le problème, mais à tester... Merci pour ton retour en tout cas !
EDIT : J'ai trouvé et regardé sur le site Rebrickable le MOC de JB70 seulement je ne vois nulle part où il a changé le séquencement des pistons par rapport aux instructions originales. Mais je pense trouver une séquence à tester lors de l'éventuel prochain remontage. Je viens de mieux comprendre le séquencement 2-1-2-1 que tu veux dire par rapport au 2-1-1-2 suggéré par le livre qui, je pense, déséquilibre l'inertie de l'axe. Et concernant la boite de vitesses, il supprime de fait les u-joint mais ça change pas mal la construction de la voiture mais surtout, il faut acheter pas mal de pièces en plus, du coup je vais devoir rester sur le modèle de transmission par u-joint.
---------------------------------------
Oh man, it's exactly on this last point that I looked at yesterday, after breaking a piece. Like you, I found that the engine pistons alone were difficult to train. It reassures me that I am not the only one imagining this problem. Can you show the photos of the corrected crankshaft / engine shaft. Do you have a link to the video where he modifies the system with the drive shafts (hoping that it will not require other parts than that of the set if not not possible for me). But changing the height or configuration of the pistons seems to me to be a way to explore. Just have to see how to rearrange the piston set. Reversing the two axle differentials to facilitate forward travel to the detriment of reverse (which I think still doesn't use the entire transmission) can partially solve the problem, but to be tested ... Thank you for your return anyway!
EDIT: I found and looked at the JB70 MOC on the Rebrickable site only I can't see anywhere where it changed the piston sequence from the original instructions. But I think I will find a sequence to test during the possible next reassembly. I just got a better understanding of the 2-1-2-1 sequencing that you mean compared to the 2-1-1-2 suggested by the book which, I think, unbalances the inertia of the axis. And concerning the gearbox, it removes in fact the u-joints but it changes a lot the construction of the car but above all, you have to buy a lot of parts in addition, suddenly I will have to stay on the transmission model by u-joint
@@crucqjeremy8762 The crankshaft change was my own idea. If you have some extra technic parts you can get a long way with the V1.3 MOC model. I've only made the drivetrain and the gearbox. I didn't changed the steering system or the bodywork like on jb70's design. You can always try and see how far you can get if you have some other Technic models you are willing to take apart, or if you can buy spare parts somewhere.
I haven't tested the 2-1-2-1 crankshaft with the standard LEGO model, but maybe that will be helpfull to make it run better. Good luck!
@@shampo0oLWD Je pense tester le vilebrequin en 2-1-2-1 + vérifier l'entiereté du modèle et des ajustements (comme suggéré par l'auteur de la vidéo), car pour le reste je n'ai ni envie d'acheter de pièces supplémentaires (déjà que je sais pas pour combien j'en aurais avec les 4 u-joints et les frais d'envois), ni envie de démonter le seul autre set Lego que j'ai (qui fonctionne merveilleusement bien, je serai capable de le casser lui aussi en le démontant.). Et merci !
----------------
I plan to test the crankshaft in 2-1-2-1 + check the completeness of the model and adjustments (as suggested by the author of the video), because for the rest I have neither desire to buy parts extra (already that I don't know how much I would have with the 4 u-joints and the shipping costs), nor want to disassemble the only other Lego set that I have (which works wonderfully well, I will be able to also break it by dismantling it.). And thanks !
My Land Rover had those cracks and tried everything in the video. Finally, the solution was to disassemble (saving the exterior parts as shows in the video) and assemble again. Now works fine, so don't desperate if you have to rebuild, just make sure many times that mechanical drivetrain works smoothly.
You sir deserves my sub after you have poured your heart out on this in-depth Lego tutorial. Keep on keeping on!
Thank you so much for doing all this work and solving all the different issues people have with correctly assembling this complex model. This is a very in depth guide and I, for one, am very grateful for your gift to the LEGO world!
Thank you so much I put the front wheel differential in the wrong place and the engine was not working. So I did like you said and now it works!!!!!! Thank you again soooo much!!!!
I did the same mistake
Same mistake
Racing brick, your videos and content are absolutely superb!, i had a problem with the rear wheels not turning, i started fault finding and found an issue with the rear part of the vehicle and found the culprit,
now thanks to this video you helped massively, tiny correction of turning around 1 piece solved it, now everything works fine, so thank you very much and take care.
I'm really glad I could help, thank you for the nice feedback!
Sounds like we had the same problem, step 65. Thank hod for this vid I would never have found the issue without it!! 🙏🏻
@@gzbg21 Hi there, an yes its one of those pieces that can fit in both ways an very easily missed, an yea definitely seems pretty common, but yea so glad i found this video too, happy building 😉👍
Amazing video. It was so frustrating to had the back differential and back wheels stucked. My wife helped me realize I got step 65 wrong, this video could have saved me a couple hours of my life and an epic discussion with her. Greetings from Mexico
Thank you so much for your trouble shooting guide. My 12 year old son spent days building it only to find that the rear suspension didn't work. Your detailed video helped us to discover the problem and fix it within minutes. It saved a lot of stress and tears! Thank you.
What an amazingly detailed video...my son went wrong at step 65 and it was stopping the rear wheels turning, thanks for posting such great help 😃
Thank you so much for step 65, it's beautifully explained! I was so frustrated and my hands hurt from the pointy gears trying to fix it...thank you
Thank you so much for saving my sanity with a mistake at step 56 which I discovered at step 200+
Thank you. Four hours of repeatidly assembling , dissasembling and reassembling the same module..then I found this video and ( after calling myself all sorts of idiots) I sorted my problem.
The verification steps helped us a lot in diagnosing problems we had with the drive train! A faulty connection between the gearbox and the engine was the culprit.
Thanks RacingBrick, step 65 correction sorted me out. If both rear wheels lock out when trying to roll on surface I’d check this step. Excellent instructions.
Thanks for this video. Swapping a Ujoint seriously helped the chunky gearbox/ engine operation. Nice subtle Land Rover maintenance burn
Thanks for the help!! I wouldn’t even thought about the wrong orientation at step 65! Even taking it apart you explained it perfectly thank you :)
This might be the greatest support video on the internet. Thank you! Saved me hours of troubleshooting and rebuilding!
An amazingly helpful guide that helped us solve our construction problems quickly. Thank you!!
They should've used Constant Velocity joints in the first place.
There's a difference between a Universal and Constant Velocity joint.
But the cv is usually too weak unless you use the ‘mega cv’ included in real he Lambo
Thanks man. I haven’t checked it as yet but step 65 is where I muffed mine. Think you’ve saved me a ton of time. Legend.
This helped me a lot! On my Defender, the pistons wouldn't move, but after I changed the differentials like you did, it works just fine! Thanks so much for making this video!
Legend! You just saved me having to take the complete build apart to figure out where the suspension went wrong. Thank you!!
Thank you for the tips and advice I’m looking to get one of these later this year and will use your advice greatly.
This is very VERY serious work. Thank you very much for the deeply detailed tips !
Great informative video, which helped me solve a problem with the drive chain without tearing everything apart. Thank you!
Thank you so much! I almost gave up after I had to disassemble almost the whole thing after finiishing the chassis. After I had put together everything, the motor wasn't running. Fortunately it was just the diff - I admire your patience
What do you mean by that I might have that problem
The dig at Land Rover earned your a subscription. I’ve rebuilt several real Land Rovers. 👍
Oh man your video saved my life. The Lego manual mistake shown at 11:01 is the only thing I needed to fix. Now the gear works so great!
Great guide! I must have re-watched it a hundred times by now - probably peaked between the time I ordered this set and as I watched its delivery status to finally reach me. The review of the correct setup of the transmission and gearing was unbelievably helpful however at higher (fixed/reversed lower)+HI gear there's still some cracking and push back from the system - my guess is with so many cogs and shafts the issue lies in the friction between plastic parts rather than build error, but it gives me an excuse to strip it down and build it up again. Also the droopy suspension might depend on the "freshness" of the springs or maybe which one is closer to the axles - red+grey up front seems to be doing a good enough job (with the red being at the centre of the axis). Anyway, I am hooked (again) on Lego partially because of you and looking forward to more inspiring reviews!
Thank you for your help. Your explanations are very clear (I was victim of an old manual with the error at step 89 U joins orientation)
Thanks a lot. Located my error myself (part of the fun) but verified it with your video before I put everything apart!
For anyone else like me that has tried all the troubleshooting and still has issues, try this:
Locate the two gears meshed together - Tan beveled gear and red color gear, below the DNR selector on steering wheel side. On my model they were pressing together tightly which created friction. Any other friction on these gears eg. if they are sandwiched to tightly together on the axels, could also be a problem. Make sure both gears spin freely with no friction.
Its extremely subtle but after fiddling with these two gears for a while I got the engine to run smooth in al the high gears.
Thanks a million for the effort you put into making this guide; I would have given up looking for a solution if not for this video.
Can’t tell you how helpful this was! You’re awesome! 👏
Thank you! I screwed up step 65, back wheels weren't spinning. Glad I found this video. Also glad it was such an easy fix.
Dude, thank u so much, i had issues building it, but now its perfect
Coming late to sets seems like a great way to avoid these problems. I picked up an Osprey and already ordered the parts to fix it as it's being built.
My rear wheels were spinning against each other and the car would not move. I was breaking my head to find where I went wrong and finally found your video. The mistake was putting the gray piece upside down after step 65. Your video (9:10) helped me solve it.
Same
I was having the same issue. Flipped the grey piece and now my truck only goes in reverse
Thank you very much for this. Step 65 error. I had a very frustrated son who had spent so much time building and couldn't get the wheels to turn. This fixed it.
Incredible! You are the king of gears!
Didn't realize people were having so many issues with a more advanced set like this. I think Lego reached the limit of what an average buyer can build as regards to complexity.
I guess a few verification steps are missing from the manual, like the ones we had for 42082. Once the model is built it is very difficult to find out where the problem is, unless you really understand how the whole drive train works.
@@RacingBrick wow, I thought the body came off easy... but that is not the case.
@@basberend it's much easier than doing the second part of the instructions backwards :D
The car is too complex for its own good, it doesnt need a working gearbox at all, especially the most complex one lego has ever made. It was inevitable that there would be gearbox problems.
Thank you so much for the perfect information! I was having a few issues with the gearbox and your video helped with them all! Thank you!!!
Awesome video, thanks. Somehow I made the error with the rear suspension. Glad it was such an easy fix.
Great video. Thanks for the help. A true Land Rover experience 😂
Super work! Thanks very much. I will check the u-connector issue. Such a correct remark at the end! Full experience indeed!
Yes! Thank you, been trying to figure out the problem for a week
9:59: that was my answer for rear wheels that would not turn, thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial
A very useful video. Many thanks. I found the body removal part very helpful too.
10/10 explanations and video and entire guide. You are the man
Bravo!! Amazing video, will check everything now
This was so much work!! Thank you very much👍👍
Thanks a lot! Found at the stage of completed gearbox that differential stock. With your guide fixed very simply.
And one more issue was found and fixed - messed with differentials sides. Easily fixed with your help!
Build the Defender with 7 years old son - fun 😂
AWESOME video and we appreciate your attention to detail! We may also appreciate LEGOs realism in terms of how unreliable LAND ROVER's transmissions are lol
Great job! You solved many issues happened to me!
Thank you for this. It really helped figure out the problem I was having
thank you very much for this video. finally solved my problems with the defender !
as someone who recently purchased the land rover, this will be incredibly helpful! i love lego but even i would rather not take the set apart shortly after building it. thanks!
Be careful at all stages and pray that it works car it's a little lottery I feel.
This helped me a lot when building the defender in November of 2021
Such an informative tutorial! Fantastic graphics to aid the explanations. Your hard work is much appreciated. Thankyou.
Can I ask what you used to produce the graphics? Did you have to enter each piece manually?
You mean the 3d model? That was built with LDCad, and you have to built it pretty much the same way as you build the real one, piece by piece :)
@@RacingBrick Thanks! I was just very curious. It looked so similar to AutoCad I used years ago but not for Lego! I had a feeling it would take a lot of time & effort to produce! The Defender kit will be my first Technic kit, infact my first Lego kit! Just waiting for it to arrive. Thanks once again. The information you provided in all your videos will make the build more enjoyable & successful. Cheers.
Such an amazing video! Thank you for the work you put into this it helped me out a lot.
Thank you for making this video finally my Defender works the way it should. :)
Thank you so much I can finally repair my defender just thank you
You saved my lego set thank you very much I couldnt belive it works but it does.
You saved my project! Thank you so much!!!
I am new to this set. I bought it second hand for €75 as "defective" because rear wheels are running in opposite direction. I think that's a good price. I'll rebuild it and check your guide before. Thanks for your detailed information.
So detailed and helpful, thank you!
You are a life saver thank you so much land rover is rubbing of their unreliability to the lego model ! Cheers
thank you so much for the video, apparently i had one of the first versions with the wrong manual!
Awesome vid. Even though i had already built this set, i was able to go through the steps and check them against my build. Thanks for your work.
You, my friend, are a genius. I had the "droopy rear suspension" issue (bring on the jokes!), and your video immeiately pointed me to the problem. Fixed! Thanks for saving me hours of wailing and teeth-gnashing.
First ever technic build and everything was mint didnt have one single problem!! Just gotta be careful and double check your steps and match it to the picture and you will be good!
Thank you for the suspension fix
26:00
Was thinking the suspension is too soft haha😂😂
Thank you very much for this video. I had the issue with the axle piece mounted the wrong way x and round . Now the tires drive right.👍👍👍👍👍👍🍀😃
I just came across your youtube channel through recommendation. I immediately thought this guy must be Hungarian, and you are! :D
(Don't misunderstand me, your pronunciation is great, just for a Hungarian is easier to spot a Hungarian accent.
Szia! :)
Hát ez bizony ilyen :)
Thanx a lot. Fixed 2 issues!
Tanks i have the cracking noise spotted my version is one off the first one's. No correction in the book. Thansks !!!!
Thanks, watching this before my build to ease my pain 😂
This is an incredible contribution. Thank you for all the time you invested in this!
Helpful... Thank you so much on behalf of me and my son Giuseppe..
Excellent video I had also made the mistake of cross axles thanks for the information. I have also reversed the engineering and converted it from left and drive to right and ( the correct driving position) for the UK 😂
You put the work in! Thanks
Thank you so much for all the explanation and problem-fixing! :D
Now I understand more!
Ok, i wanted to put this out there. I recently built the land land rover and experienced ABSOLUTELY NO problems with it. I have no idea why people are having issues
You are very lucky believe me ! Me twice that I go up meticulously and 2 times that it cracks (a u-joint even ended up breaking), to go crazy. So that I built the 42082 without problem which contains much more parts and gears than this Land Rover ....
@@crucqjeremy8762, turning the differentials (the crown wheels NOT on the driver side) helped me a lot.
wow , wish I would watch this earlier , just finished my build on last sunday and it doesnt work as it should . Did most likely all those mistakes , starting from very first one- used black toothed wheel instead of grey . No wonder I was short of black one later for my winch . Good job , now need to find time to correct all .
This man deserves my sub
Thanks! You really helped me
This will be useful for mine. Tip though, I use compressed air cans to dust my models. Yes, I’m ocd.
Dude, this is as good as some academic journals
Yeah, you're right.. The get the experience for full and best ownership of the model.. Even though I don't own this model, That is a good video that can be used for other complex models to troubleshoot.. Even if the instruction were written/printed correctly, its human nature to make mistakes..
I want to cry this set has given me so much pain
Literally amazing thanks.
