Can’t wait to hear the history of the Gadget Rover. Would be nice to see restored.

Love the Gadget Rover! It deserves full recommissioning! ❤

She was someone’s pride and joy. Good to see it getting life breathed back into it.

​@@MrHewesBetter listen to Gracie Fields' thingummy-bob song . The lyrics could easily apply here given the oil related difficulties.

That truck is totally something my grandfather would have built. He bought a Ford F250 new in 1967 and made all kinds of modifications to it, all completely home-grown. Two of note were the water injection system for the carb (similar to WWII aircraft) and and a 'supplemental' cooling system for the radiator, which consisted of a 5 gallion (~20L) water bucket in the truck bed that fed a sprinkler head mounted to hit the center of the radiator at 50mph. It kept engine/trans temps down pulling the 20 foot travel trailer up the mountain passes and forest service roads of Idaho and Montana.

I love these guys... Absolute zero bullshit... They work in appalling conditions, but don't seem to notice it... That Hi-vis jacket is classic...

My thoughts exactly

Straight from an endoscopy to exploratory surgery, you guys really aren't mucking around!

To get rid of alcohol in fuel, add water. I use those translucent jerry cans with tap/spout. You bung in 200mls/litre shake well, leave 24hrs, the water will pull the alcohol out of the fuel, leaving alcohol free petrol floating on top , you will see 2 layers form when it settles overnight. I do this for my classic motorbikes

Somewhere, there is an Interceptor with a landy engine! What you were trying to say is 'I'm going to refit the fuel lift pump otherwise I will have a hole in the block letting the oil out'

A history lesson is coming soon Joe says. Count me in, I say. I hope that it's not a long time coming? ❤❤❤

I love the external oil filter on the front bumper, just what you want for those minor fender benders or excursions into the desert where you can bash it on a rock before any other part of the LR gets there. Good planning.

Love the sound of that engine. Even nicer than the Rover V8. This car definitely deserves a full restoration if you can get enough info on it.

Awesome to see you in a Tom Lamb hoodie, a little bird tells me, he'd be quite happy to do some sort of collaboration videos with you, maybe give him and Colin a tour of the tanks, and you go visit Tom's farm and Collins bunker. Viewers that know you would love to see the cross over. And those that don't will find new content, it's great for everyone. Drop Tom a message, I know he'll be happy to hear from you.

Inspector Gadget is posted in front of his tele, rubbbing his hands, with a grin from ear to ear. 'Its alive'! Cant wait to hear the history and see it recommissioned fella's. Cheers for the entertainment and lessons on 'fabricobbeling'. cheers for sharing.

Loving every second of this restoration

That engine sounds wonderful, save me save me.

great to see your enthusiasm for keeping all the classics in operating condition.

I think you may have hit the jackpot with those wheel rims….they look like original Forward control rims deep off set..pretty damn rare, and worth ( dependent on the number stamped on to the rim) a fair few bob…nice!

Love this back garden engineering at its finest can't wait to hear the back story and hope your going to restore her Keep it up guys

Love watching cars brought back into life. Great channel 👍

What a peach! The body looks really tidy and I think that's the best colour too. A great find.

This chapnis brilliant 👏, I absolutely love Mr Hewes videos. Thank you sir, Gen-z has hope.

Nice to see the old girl running again

Looks very interesting.Keen to learn more of it's history. Thanks for the vid. Jim Bell (Australia)

It's giving me The Italian Job Land-rover vibes for some reason

amazing! I guessed the rack for the boat. However i presume its been to Africa, with the air locks fitted for a reason. Looking forward to being wrong. Cheers Jim

That sounds amazing. All vehicles should sound like that

I’m so interested in the History of that vehicle,bring it on lads.👍

It’s the weekend and I have a load of stuff to do in our house. But I watched this instead. That is a great barn find and nice to see you gents getting it running. Look forward to the next part.

Well done Gentlemen. Excellent call on the oil pressure relief valve. Fell foul of that myself once. I noticed a little weep after on the hose fitting but you've probably already seen that yourselves. Those filter housings can tend to leak if the seal is not good. We use them on the flathead Ford V8s. I made some seals myself using nitrile sheet and a knife blade on a lathe. Great stuff guys, I recently discovered your channel and am enjoying the content. Mart in Solihull.

Really cool to watch all these young lads working on old gear. Hard to find in our days. Just a suggestion. Could you guys make a video talking a bit of your background? Where all started learning about it and then progressing from been unemployed to run your on business, time of business, what you do, how long thing take udder a restoration or a quick fix? Maybe there the equipment come about or talk a bit about all the project around etc. Anyway so much to cover I guess... keep up the good work very enjoyable. Cheers!

Beautiful, the engineering and interior have echos of "Il Tempo Gigante" from the animated film "The Finchcliffe Grand prix"

That engine sounds amazing.

Best sounding Jensen ive heard , the original car you had to jack up and take the front wheels of to get to the spark plugs , and you could watch the fuel gauge move when you where gunning them , very well done for an engine sitting that long

What a cracking Land Rover, well done on getting it going again. Love it ❤

Great to see the landy drive 👍👍👍👍👍

What a lovely exhaust sound,now you got to go the whole hog 🤗

MY FAVOURITE TYPE OF LAND ROVER . JUST LOVE IT

Thanks for this. Great video. Reminds me of home. What a beast. Regards from Dresden.
