Armenian MOT and unexpected NOISES. If it ain't broke, don't fix it?
Просмотров 2,2 тыс.7 часов назад
Day 4: The Armenian "MOT" equivalent is today, and I need the Defender to pass so that it's road legal and I can drive it to the UK. The 2-yearly test is required for all vehicles over 4 years and an annual test for vehicles older than 10 years. My Defender is 17 years old and the previous test has already expired, so I need to pass one to be road legal. 0:00 Grinding noises? 1:13 Propshaft nut...

    What an epic adventure. I always think that it is opportunities like this that give certain cars such a great story and soul. Sure... buying a car in the UK from the classified ads is far easier. But if us LR owners wanted easier, we would be obsessed with Fiat Pandas. If you find a way to let us track you live, please publish it!

    P6 rule working well there with your comprehensive spares. Talking about road speed in I never run my 300Tdi above 90-95kph (Australia), not just out of being mechanically sympathetic but your fuel consumption (and noise) goes up significantly, maybe not such an issue in Europe where service stations are fairly handy. Looking forward to your next log entry! Good luck

    It will rain a lot. I'm taking a spare wiper, complete with me. It has happened to me a few times that it flew away at night on the highway in heavy rain. I'm from Prague and we go to Bosnia a lot. If anything, there's a super Land Rover parts dealer in Sarajevo and he's got a handy, quick auto mechanic. I've already had the servo etc fixed there. There is also a large community in the Czech Republic and Slovakia on the way to UK. Don't worry, we will follow you. Good luck brother. Everything will be ok. It's a Land Rover 👍😊

    • @gs188
      @gs188 2 дня назад

      Front prop is meant to be out of phase on a Defender/disco/RRC on standard springs. Believe it’s due to both joints not being in an equal and opposite angle to cancel out like they are on a series as both the gearbox and diff pinion point upwards, it’s a cheaper solution than using a double cardan joint like they did on the stage 1 V8 or disco 2. Lifted suspension: all bets are off as that cocks up everything without further mods which is not usually delt with to the standard LR engineers did.
