You never stop adding to Defenders LOL, just don't tell my wife!
at about 19:00 Nissa gave me a great idea for a landy sticker, "Its not leaking, it's just self lubricating"
Love the videos. The windscreen wiper was very relatable . Used to own a fourtrak . Worst rain storm you could imagine on the m1 . And my wiper flips off like yours! Had to co a couple of miles practically blind !
A much awaited video, awesome 👌 looking forward to future Defender upgrades :) maybe catch you a LRO Peterborough 2021!? If it happens... that is
Great video. Just one point, I checked with Lof before fitting my flywheel and powerspec clutch. They do not recommend soaking the bush in oil, they said to just use the grease they provide as per guide. They said soaking the bush in oil can cause the bush to slip in the fly wheel. Cheers
My Discovery 2 is going to the mechanic on Tuesday to have the same clutch fitted after probably 9-12 months of slipping! Looking forward to seeing the difference!
Galv chassis build would be great, keep the td5 solid for another 300,000km+! Keep the videos coming saving for one of these clutch kits for when my puma gets remapped. :)
I have the ashcroft transfer box that uses the disco ratios, it really makes a difference when cruising. Good upgrade for defenders. Mine is also tuned too, it may have a stage one tune i think. Just to help iron things out. ( all this was done before i bought it)
Great job! And great video!! That defender is getting an absolute beast! Hopefully you’ll be able to fit those rusty parts!, 💪🏻💪🏻
Thanks! We've still got lots to do to it 😉
Transfer case Sump cooler, nice upgrade worth considering.
Just watched your video and the one from Juice Motors back to back. I think a LOF Clutch is definitely on my wishlist for now. With the transfer box working a little harder, you should consider one of those finned high capacity transfer box covers. Hard to quantify exactly how much cooler the transfer box runs, but the physics of more oil and better cooling makes perfect sense. Great video, can't wait for the next one.
👋
Just fitted a power spec Loftclutch and single mass flywheel. Good gear highlgly recommend it.
Good
Good
Great video guys very informative
Thanks David!
There is nothing more “Land Rover” than doing a review of one part… while another falls off right in front of the camera 😂
You need to do more videos as this is the only channel i watch
Bulkhead outriggers always go as the drain holes wernt big enough. They are available as a weld on unit so no worries 👍
Put the same clutch transfer box in my 110sw last month.
I had it mapped by Alive tuning, it knocked 4 seconds off getting to 60mph, well happy.
Impressive! I look forward to experiencing the difference it makes once it's run in.
X-Eng Disc hand brake as well
Great video! I’m about to get new box and lof clutch ( what is the fab music playing?)
got a disco transfer box on my td5 defender is grate on those long stretches of road now just got to find someone to send me a vnt turbo and get a stage 3 tune
What was the issue with the starting, I've just done the same kit and it wouldn't start, I realised that I'd accidentally pulled the ECU connectors out as I'd put the box on
hello what do you think about a new tgv turbo on your TD5 ????
Just about to do my transfer box! Was going to go for the 1.2 gearing but insurance said it was a mid they couldn’t accept 😑 silly really! So I’ll just have to cure it’s leaks instead
Wow that's strange! Seems like one of the more "sensible" mods you can do.
Great job! I've switched from a Defender to a Land Cruiser 100 series a bit more than a year ago, but I always miss the Defender (not that particular one though:D) when watching your videos. It was so easy (and cheap) wrenching on it compared to the Toyota. Although I kind of enjoy that there are 10k km's spent without wrenching & in relative silence and peace, no water in the cabin, controlled temperature, etc:D But still.. I wish I had a 90.
That's why we couldn't have Land Cruisers on the channel, there'd never be anything to do 😄
TirsbaekTV Haha:)
my main gripe with 100... torsion bar ifs front. unless you got the 105... which has the non turbocharged 1hz... PFTTTT
Put a disco transfer box on my 200 great on road but made first gear to long for off-roading
what phone mount is that?
Great video lads. Ive fitted the uprated clutch from LOF in my Defender Puma but havent really put it to the test yet as it turned into a full rebuild 🤣🤣
Haha brilliant! 😄
well i have the same problem after changing the clutch on my defender td5 and the fuel pump wont come on wat was ur mistake problem
So a year and half on from making this Vid, would you say you still enjoying the mods? Also have you noticed a big difference in fuel consumption? Some have started a 10-15% decrease. Can you give us your honest opinion on this? I am busy doing my 110 County. Done the intercooler and remap. Next is the clutch kit and transfer box with new Vortex exhaust. So looking at above 200BHP. Ive improved handling with slightly lowered suspension, poly bushes and heavy duty anti-roll bars front and back.
Great job guys. Assume the D2 gear box will work ok with the storm tuning ?? Does it still have a low box switch ??
Thanks Simon. Yep, still has linkage for low range.
Did you know that 80% of all Landrovers ever made are still on the road? The rest made it home
You get more vibration with single mass
Hi guys, great video. I've got a ex mod defender 110 built 1986 with NA2.5 diesel engine. After seeing your video im now thinking of changing the gear ratio in the transfer box. what do you think?
Depends what you use it for primarily - Lots of off-roading and towing then probably best to leave it, but if you mostly do on-road driving/long journeys then changing the ratio could be worthwhile 🙂
sorry for the multiple comments, but i am posting as i am seeing it...You will need to get the Speed healer, to correct the speedo. I was at 2500rpm ish at 120kph. You will probably be 2650rpm at the same speed as you are running a stock R380, while i swapped the 5th gear to a 0.735
Speedo drive is on the output shaft of the lt230. so the speedo wont change with a different transferbox ratio.
Rick z i had to when i swapped to a 1.211 and again when i swapped my gearbox from a R380 to Mt82 with 1.1 TC ratio change.
Hi Liam, with the 1.2 ratio what rpm do you do at 120kmh vs before?
Don't have a rev counter unfortunately so I don't know. I suppose we could hook up the Nanocom and find out 🙂
@@TirsbaekTV Next mod is td5 rev counter mate? That would make a nice video....
@@ryanolivier8446 Good idea! 👍
In which side of the spingot bearing did you make the small grooves with the file?

Good evening...🤞
Do you have a LINK or am I missing something..?🧐
Why not put a SIX GEAR gearbox in ..?🧐
The beauty of the defender is mainly, it is simple and over engineered, wich makes those cars easy to service and they do take a lot of beating!
But anybody following this channel already knows THAT ... I’m guessing 😜👍

Why do you tell everything in MILES ... ?
In Europe 🇪🇺 we use the METRIC scale system, not the IMPERIAL system..!?👍😜🤞
Here is the link, it's the Power spec option: lofclutches.com/shop/clutches/clutch-kits/td5-smf-powerspec-bundle-everything-required/
A lot of our viewers are from the UK, so that's why we often talk in miles 🙂

Thx for your time 👍
way tomuch chatter
Liam just come across your channel, great videos please keep them coming. As the Landrover Show is off this year going to watch your vid of 2019.
