It's really good to have someone to help when you have to do a tedious and filthy job. Hats off to Mark for pitching in. It looks as though the finishing line is in sight, and I will miss the series when it's all done.

I'm in awe of the 'hidden logic' behind your approach here, Max: there's clearly a critical sequence in which things need to be done - but it reveals itself post-facto, and then "Erm, why is he...?" suddenly becomes "Oh, I get it now! Highly educational entertainment. Cheers!

The noise from those orbital sanders sounded like that that comes from my front room when the wife's doing book club, made me shudder. I like it how you use the gravy jug for swilling out the used WD40, my other half would go nuts. The rule of thumb for the door gaps is that if the gap is less than a thumb's width than it's better than factory. Perhaps you can build the first series that doesn't let in the rain. Great progress and I'm glad Mark could keep out of trouble for five minutes to help out.

Max, it’s looking great! I strongly recommend adding the gear box longitudinal tie rod, which you can find in the Optional Parts catalogue. It is just a eased rod with rubber bushes (similar to those on the bottom of 109 rear dampers) with a bracket on the gear box cross member and another using the two empty bolt holes on the left side of the bell housing, adjacent to the gear box. It makes an enormous difference not only to the lifespan of the engine and gear box mounts, but more importantly gets rid of the play in the hand brake movement and makes the hand brake extremely effective.

Sorry, autobugger changed “threaded rod” to “eased rod”. This is a link to one going spare at Safari Engineering.

Dear Maximus I. 👍👌👏 Very well done, Sir, very well indeed. A lot of progress happened in this video, congrats. Great episode by the way. The colour looks great, really bright and a bit more "orangey" than I thought. Because I love nearly anything that is green, I would have chosen green paint for the interior. Or at least the same colour as the exterior. But, as always, that's only my personal kind of taste. Your Landrover will definitely be one of the best existing ones. After all the effort you put in, I guess it will run like new. Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and especially health to all involved people.

When I bought my lwb and drove it back from Somerset I don’t think the relay had seen oil in years. When I’d got it home and jacked the front up with both tyres off the ground, I could just about go lock to lock with both hands hauling the wheel round. After filling the relay with oil and repeated lock to lock action after about half an hour I could do it with one finger against the steering wheel spoke. I’ve never had the relay out( for all the obvious reasons!) in five years but there’s no play in it and apart from a bit of leak it’s good. About the only job I haven’t tackled yet. But they can be brought back from the dead.
