Land Rover | Breaking Down & Upgrades 

Man, I've missed Carl's videos. Good to see you're back and hope you are well

I especially appreciate your attitude and humor when dealing with the inevitable glitches that come along. Can’t wait to see what projects you have next!

Welcome back, Carl. I'm looking forward to seeing the evolution on the farmhouse. You folks do amazing quality work! Also, I really miss my old ex-MoD Defender 90...

I'm amazed you can get a Land Rover started ! well done.

SO happy to see a post! Glad to know you're OK.

Good to see you back. Lots of folk with autoimmune diseases and difficulties have good improvements re less inflammation and ease of pain doing a no grain/ no dairy (i.e. paleo / keto eating regime). It has definitely helped me Carl this past 9 years. Wishing you well. x

I'm humbled by hearing of your AS and now more impressed by watching your achievements. My own immune system problems seem trivial. Looking forward to your future videos - greetings from Scotland.

Thanks for taking us with you, through thick and thin showing the ups and downs is honest and inspiring. I appreciate that it is a lot of extra effort to carry and use all the filming kit so extra thanks for making the effort for our benefit.

13 minutes of entertainment. Thank you for another video. The bread was priceless.

I find watching your work very relaxing & have watched them multiple times 😊. Can't wait for the next one. I'm off to bed now... got diy work in the garage again tomorrow. Goodnight 🥱💤

I love this channel so much. I like these vlog style videos a lot. You're life is vastly different from mine so it's like a window in to another life, it's great!

I have missed you and your projects. Welcome back. That was one hell of a trip. I admire your stamina and determination. Hope you are feeling well. Best wishes!

5:04 I love the baguette that he shoves into the side storage space, great subtle comedy👌

Finally, you are back. We need videos more often from you. Spend quality time with your family.

🙋👍 Glad to see you again. Good luck with new projects

Good to hear from you, Has anyone ever changed a windshield wiper in good weather?

Quite a nice motor. Million thanks from St. Paul,Minnesota.

Love your content. Can’t wait for new videos to drop

I've missed your videos and it's good to know that you're well, best wishes from Ensenada, Mexico

I was just thinking the other day I was ready for some fresh CR content 🙌🏼🤣

Thanks for taking us along

I worked for a large Utility Company in the 80s & 90s ... our Land Rover problems were reduced after switching some of the fleet to 4x4 County Transits which had better payload and towing capacity, and didn't fail as often as the LRs ...

Looking forward to see some up coming projects. Always worth the wait.

I’m liking those wire connectors with the solder inside 💚👍

Hudge respect for living with a autoimmune disease and being also able to build what you have build. I only can assume you have Ankylosing spondylitis. Hope you can manage it as long as possible!

Good to see Carl back online. Due to a similar problem with using the clutch I converted my 127 to automatic using a four-speed box. It has an integral overdrive and retains the full functions of the transfer box. Never going back to manual!

Love your video. Tip from me: you are not supposed to lubricate the tow ball. It makes it harder for the trailer to grip the ball. Instead, polish it with some sand paper.

Looking forward to the upcoming projects! Great to see you back!!

Why don’t we have politicians like Carl? He figures out the problem, knows where to get the tools and parts, understands how to fit everything together properly, and look like he’s having fun doing it.

If you do still want to upgrade the headlights, I use osram nightbreakers. They're a massive difference.

Fix your trailer tilt latch, and then weld on a couple of tabs so that you can BOLT the trailer down when on long road trips where you won't need the tilt.

Looking forward to see some up coming projects. Always worth the wait.. Looking forward to the upcoming projects! Great to see you back!!.

Good to see/hear from you again . . best of luck with current and future endeavors

Good to see you back on your (mis)adventures. Have a great summer mate.

Land Rovers are great - but I do respect Toyota for its reliability! 😊Great Video! Looking forward to your building projects.

Carl awesome to see your notification come up! Great additions to the truck . Good to see your videos again! 👍👍

Welcome back, my friend. All those months I felt like I was missing something. I love carpentry and maintenance of old houses... Thank you for all the beautiful content... We are waiting for everything new and interesting Amal from UAE🇦🇪

i was glued to screen great video thanks for sharing

Carl I was thinking of you earlier this week, that I hadn't seen any of your videos in a while... I hated that this video was under such circumstances... Well hope all is well and you'll be getting back to the farmhouse soon... Take care my friend and God Bless...

A good video, as you have us accustomed Desired to see the progress in the restoration of that house and your good work with the carpentry. greetings from the mountains of Madrid, Spain

Great to see you Carl. Looking forward to what you have in store for us. Xx

Good to see you're still active! And love that baguettes fall under long items you store in the car 😆 you're nearly completely French!

Excellent video! thanks!

Great video, albeit it a few nasty costs and work, but hope to see you fresh faced and up to speed soon, love from Yorkshire matey ! take it easy ....

well done Carl. Good to have you back posting.

Good to have you back.Looking forward to see more of the home re pair. One love💯❤

Hi just wanted to say have missed your videos. Always interesting and educational. A little anecdote about the Land Rover Defender. A friend of mine his wife is from England her first car was a Land Rover Defender. And when the 70th Edition model arrived, she bought a new black one with a diesel engine. To experience his youth again. And she did.... As she said it was just like before, no soundproofing rattled. I went along a few times and my old tractor David Brown 990 Selectamatic I sat more comfortably in.🤭 Looking forward to your new videos. greetings from Sweden

Cracking video...always look forward to the next one! 👍

Great Vid Been through france quite a few times, I do also agree with the smaller roads way more too see and beautifully Villages and countryside

I've watched your videos for some time and was always impressed at the scope, breadth and quality of your work: huge tasks accomplished at a very high standard with seemingly no compromise. Now I've learned that you've done all this with an autoimmune disease. You sir, have mettle.

I was gonna tease you about a multi-day 800 miles, but then saw the roads. More like a few of my motorcycle routes for vacation unless I "Need to get there ASAP" then 1200 miles in one 24 hour drive can happen. Or one year, 514 to Ma and Dad's, 589 to West Virginia, a few days camping in the boonies and riding there, 611 miles or so to my sisters place near Atlanta (via mostly state highways and some backroads, then, because I was sick and didn't want to infect Ma and Dad with it, a 823 mile run back home taking about 13 hours with gas stops.

Great to see back up and running m8

Great to see you back. More content soon I hope

Carl, Good to see you back. Go well my friend. Keep safe and enjoy your future trip..... Bob (Weston super Mare)

Content de votre retour en images !!!! 👍🏻👏🏻

Good to be back looking forward to next projects just sayin from North of Newcastle 🇬🇧🇬🇧😊

just found your land rover page and it is great informative i understand you problem with the clutch as i suffer from a serious back problem and my legs are always week so i have to drive a auto but it is a freelander thats another problem LOL thanks for the video

Thanks for the video Carl I always learn something and am entertained.

the Landy is full "Mad Max" spec now, love it

Great to see a new video. Been wondering how to send good wishes and appreciation. Keep on being you Carl.

interested, have you found the Defender to be sufficiently reliable for regular long-distance hauls across to France?

I can definitely say that dog really misses you

I so have missed seeing your videos, welcome back. I always thought you make a great announcer for commercials and such. A nice soothing voice

I really like this channel. Very laid back and good quality videos.

What a mission you had great editing too

Happy to see you back

Glad to see you back always very interesting shows thank you for sharing.

Looking forward to the new videos. I’ll always enjoy more Landy / update content too.

Good looking Land Rover great setup 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧

Easily the best channel on RU-vid! Welcome back!

Hombre, ya era hora de un nuevo vídeo, los echaba de menos. Un saludo desde España 🇪🇸

Good to have you back

Great to hear from you again

Really looking forward to the new projects. Glad you have some sponsorship too so you can keep creating. Close to living the dream?

Happy to see you're back in France. Like many others here I can't wait to see what projects you'll tackle this time. But a bit sad to hear you have some kind of auto-immune issue. Much can be done nowadays in terms of diet and alternative therapies; I hope and pray you're doing your best to prevent any further damage. Also, looking forward to wearing that eye-catching blue jacket I just ordered. Cheers!

I look very much forward to the next project video’s on the farm 😊

Glad your back! Always look forward to your adventures and projects. I know you had the Defender loaded but didn't look like it was that extreme for the problem it created. No experience with that vehicle

Thank you Carl for this nice video. I hope you make more and often videos in the future.

You definatly chose a good garage to do the upgrade !, been watching their channel for a while 👍

Hi Carl - good to see you back again - noticed you have the LR version without A/C. Can be retrofitted at a not too high cost...

Loved the video, I thought this was my old defender when I clicked on the thumbnail. I hope you have led bulbs in your headlights as you'll need to drill those rivets out of the guards to change the bulbs.

I've had a defender for years pulling 2 ton boulders out of a quarry the only thing I had to fix was the clutch after 150000 it is brilliant

Still on my binge watching of my new favorite channel. Can't see that anyone else noticed that LR08RCR became WJ62NVK.

I just thought about you and you posted a video immediately. It's Miracle!

Good to see you back :)

wow fantastic upload bro loved this

My output shaft broke about 18th the ago. Not fun lol. Good video. Keep up the good work 👍

Great Video! About headlight guards attached with pop rivets. How do you change a light bulb, please? Do you have to remove the rivets?

Welcome back. have missed your videos. Sorry about the Defender issues, but, that is the cost of doing business.

Missed ya, Carl! Can’t wait to see more content! Stay Safe Folks!!!

My output shaft spun as well. I put my foot down on the gas for a good 30 minutes to friction weld the shaft together.

great to see you back :)

Hi Carl - I’m new to your channel but sooo interested in your Landy work!! I am on my fourth Landy ( 1 110 and 3 90s) and have just changed to a low mileage 90 finished in Montalcino Red - this wouldn’t have been my choice (my last one was Keswick Green and white and I have the same steering wheel as you which I have transferred to the new vehicle) but the mileage was too low to resist and the seller was a friend. In this video I noticed that you have maroon door cards - can I ask where you got those? Thanks loads!

Welcome back Carl 😁👍🏻

Omg if there was a horse on the bonnet it could be Mat Armstrong's channel 😂 Good you're back 👍

you sure do nice work, man.

YOURE BACK!

Bad luck mate, but in the end, all good. Miss the renovation videos with your dad. Cheers.

Have to admit I’m a bit sleepy still and I panicked when I saw you driving on the wrong side of the road! That woke me up enough to remember, oh yeah not America! Well done Carl! Keep up the safe driving! Also glad you’re back with the videos! 😳🫣🤔🙄🇺🇸

Have you ever tried Rain x on your wind shield. It works great to bead off the rain when wipers are being challenged.
