ASIA OVERLAND (Ep14) - Tajikistan in our Land Rover Defender 

We really felt the simpler we had Yak, the easier it would be if stuff went wrong! Yak certainly tested that theory! 😂

Thanks - the people were incredible

Thanks so much :) it really was amazing to experience such warm hospitality!

Thanks so much, Sue :) We'll never forget the people we met on the trip!

Thanks Lars :)

The people of Tajikistan were one of the most friendly we met on the whole trip! Thanks Steve :)

Wow that sounds like an amazing trip! What vehicle are you taking?

Sorry for delay! We are taking two Defender 2.2 110’s ! Have a question if I may: did you have any worries about the drone in the stans (I understand they are technically banned in Uzbekistan?).

Land Rovers just go on and on 💪

Thanks! :)

@@yakoverland4543 and now watched the new one, but couldn't comment as its gone/privatised/scheduled - but cheers for editing up another :)

It really was stunning! Thanks so much guys :)

It was such a stunning country with such amazing people! We’re hopefully heading to Morocco this summer! Where are you based?

@@yakoverland4543 we are in Saltash. I heard mention of you having part’s delivered to Turkey by Brookwells of Plymouth, so you might be quit close

Thanks Andrew, that means a lot ☺️it was great learning some stuff on the road to keep Yak going in sticky situations!

@@yakoverland4543👍

So easy to fix though! ;)

If you think they don’t breakdown like any other vehicle you are in for a shock.

Good luck with your ECU 🙃

Hey 👋 we did know that was a possibility. Breaking down is pretty much inevitable on a big trip - we just try to make sure it is as mechanically strong as possible before we left - focussing on the big things (clutch, engine etc)

She is a 1997, 2.5 Diesel with a recorded 147k miles on the clock. As she is 25 I imagine she is on the second round of the clock. Has had a lot of issues with her MOTs down through the years. They are wonderful old cars and I have a little beauty myself. A 2007 SWB Puma Stationwagon with just a guaranteed 205k kilometres completed. Witnessing the travails of the couple with Yak it is sad but nonetheles understandable why the Toyota Landcruiser has replaced the Landy in every sphere where once she reigned supreme.

It was a beautiful place to break down! Yak is a 1997 Land Rover with roughly 100,000 miles on the clock (as far as we know). Hope you enjoy the other videos! ☺️

@@yakoverland4543 As far as you know ? Maybe you might take a quick peek at the MOT website. You will find it is a bit of an eye opener.

Yak limped on through 😂

Oh really? We had no issues with RHD fortunately 😮‍💨 some very interesting drivers 😅
