FIRST DRIVE Does NOT Go Well! TD5 D2 "Beater Truck" Test Run Off Road in River! 

Glad to see the old 300tdi doing what they do best, recovering other vehicles. I love mine,

It's a landrover, nothing more to be said 😊. I've had 3

Good stuff!

I think we get caught up in the moment too much that we overlook just how fun it is to take a standard vehicle (in this case, TD5 D2) out and about, and just drive it! Sure, it will never be as capable as modified vehicles, but how bad can it be? D2s are pretty good in stock form really. I've literally spent 2 years rebuilding a D2a V8 in my back yard without a hoist, and it was one of my life accomplishments IMO. Its now 3x locked and ready for action, and I cant wait to get it out and about, but I regret not just spending a year or so driving it around in stock form. Love the vids, D2 for life!! I prefer the V8 though ;)

Love you vids mate 💪🤙🤠

Make sure you relocate the ecu out of the engine bay as they don’t like water and check for oil in the injector harness and red plug

And this is why most of your LR chassis are rotten,not that they are crap they just get destroyed.

Fun video. Like the old LR

That bittersweet feeling of getting an old car a WoF, knowing you’ll have to go through it all again in 6 months time 😂

I had a td5. Nearly drove me mad. Great fourby though. Keep up the great work!

Парень молодец дал вторую жизнь этому Дискавери.

Shuttle valve bypass is such a quick win. The saving grace with a td5 is that it's all been done before. Well done though. Get a CDL actuator and it'll be mint.

Result! Good job getting the old girl back to legal. I look forward to seeing what you do next.

New garage Tim? Looking forward to seeing the mods start!

Love those things, too bad they are not that dependable. 4Running now myself…

I have the same issue . I spliced mine an it didn't fix it . Had me stumped for months. So cut wire and join an leave out wire that goes to pump. .

Oh no you made her get stuck lol I guess with the Three Amigos and no CDL we got one wheel spinning jk

Hey mate been watching your videos for a while I’m visiting ashburton and would love to come and do a meet and greet. I have a 300tdi Land Rover that I’ve been slowly doing up

By doing the shuttle valve bypass, does TC still work? Or does the bypass disable TC?

Selwyn river, it's a fun place to 4wd which I did many years ago. Td5 nice but doesn't sound as good as Lando's V8 🙂

Hey, a while back, I saw a video of yours where you were installing a winch plate on your buddy's Disco. Did you ever sell any of those? Any chance you'd want to? I'd likely buy one to start my winch bumper...

Don't bother. QC was non existent on these old clunkers. Not worth the trouble.
