This is going to be great! I really enjoy watching this Q & A because it also answers some of my questions.

[BigArch]

Hi Dave, best q+a to date and congratulations on the little on that's on the way!

[glennbayley]

Thank you very much for your question and answer video brilliant. Happy new year to you and your crew.👏👏👏🇬🇧👍🇬🇧

[johnmatthews]

100inch special!! Made my day. Can't wait. Best wheelbase by far. 👍

[wearemahker]

Let's try this again shall we! We think we've isolated the glitches to some dodgy export settings in the latest version of Adobe Premiere. Hopefully all fixed now (CHRIS)

[Charlie-ecbc]

Happy new year from Western Australia thanks for the videos mahker

[davidrawles]

Will the M57 fit in a Discovery 3 and 4 or do you have any suggestions as there motors tend to lock up.

[Chris-wzzr]

Here is two of my questions:
How much power can you safely push out of 200tdi or 300tdi? If money is no object.
200tdi vs 300tdi, what do you prefer and why? I heard a variety of different opinions on this.
Thank you.

[afonsodialamikua]

Good work, I'live at Angola "África" I'like your program...

[martinlebel]

Here’s a question for you. I’ve seen you guys do a OM606 engine swap in the defender in the past. I know the pro’s but besides the engine not being as plentiful as the M57 what are other Cons?

[ovidium]

Please make videos removing the cab and removing/replacing rear tub

[G-luxetravel]

Do you have any experience with the old man emu bp-51 remote res shocks. Some of the Aussie boys love them in the outback.

[lilianmuthee]

Sorry Dave I was not online but am just asking do you guys have 300 TDI engine on stock for sale at the moment

[arboorman]

Another great Q&A, really enjoy following all your projects :-) A while back you mentioned some Series projects and potentially installing a Ecoboost engine - are there any updates on this? I'm rebuilding a Series 3 (1972) and hope to install a 3.9 V8 but thinking long term about other more sensible options!!! :-)

Could you do a video of your time in the Royal Marines Dave?
