First video devoted to fixing up my Land Rover Defender 110. In this episode, I repair an ailing driver’s side door. While it isn’t a critical driving component, it is something that I use a lot. Many of the door’s inside parts were loose, broken, or missing, and the window was flopping around freely in the door cavity, and its condition was worsening every day. This video shows the repair process, disassembly, reassembly, and parts sourcing!

You're so kicked back, Chris. Your vids are like Zen.
I would like to see more of this kind work. good luck with the truck.
Highly recommend you go and watch Britannica Restorations for your Land Rover.
Great video. And always love content with the defender!
Chris are you part of any Land Rover Defender groups? Lots of time and money can be saved by using those forums and associated youtube.
Good job, it’s like working on my old 40 series Cruiser, just good enough.
Great video
7:27 interesting America still allows plastic shopping bags at hardware stores…Kenya banned them a couple years ago.
Great video! The simplicity of a Land Rover is amazing. Love how most jobs can be done with simple tools and a bit of ingenuity.
Nice job Chris. Though it looks like a trip back east will be in your future to pick up stuff from your storage space.
CHEERS from Colorado
It is always so rewarding when we bring old, obsolete, vehicles to like new condition…. Great job, Chris….
trust you are already aware, but Mike has a great YT channel if you wish to learn more about Defenders from anything small to big jobs. @BritannicaRestorations
Tinkering is so therapeutic
That thing is a nightmare
Toyota offers online OEM parts diagrams like that. They make life a whole lot simpler.
I used to be a whole lot more DYI but right now I do not have the necessary garage space for my vehicle or my tools. Glad to see you folks have the space to do stuff like this!
Repairs are part of the adventure! Thanks for the video.
That was super enjoyable. Nice work improvising repairs on that old door, turned out great.
This was a fun video Chris. That door is good for another 30 plus years. A good upholstery shop can do wonders for those seats. No need to buy new.
