After just one trip in our Freelander overlanding rig, Hippo’s gearbox broke – and the code says its the 2-4 Duty solenoid. Can I replace it or will I make it worse?

Absolutely brilliant Matt. It just proves that we should never be afraid to take on these so called "difficult jobs" ourselves. I once had my Bongo fail MOT on a brake imbalance across the back axle due to an oil leak from the driveshaft outer seal. The garage wouldn't do it for me referring me to a commercial repairer, I ordered the new seals and did it in a couple of hours on my drive. Garage guy was a bit quiet when I took it for the retest telling him I'd done it myself.
👍🏴
Good job.
Well done Matt you have done a brilliant job and increased your skills as well you should be proud you have had a go and got hippo working! Looking forward to his next adventures
Furious Driving – the channel where each time, something completely different is driven or tinkered with, punctuated only by school pick-up times and Popmaster….
You did great. Well done, you deserve it.
Awesome work dude.
Well done Matt, great video and what a job to take on! It never ceases to amaze me how you never swear in a video. I do most of my swearing and cursing in the garage!
Hopefully you can now enjoy Hippo some more.
Good effort, well done ✅
I was wondering if you could help me with my Alfa Romeo 146. The hood needs to be open by 2 people one to hold the hood lever and one to go outside and push down on the hood a bit. i dont know what could be the problem so i hope you can help me with that.
You're much more organised than Hubnut so less frustrating to watch (and you kinda know what you're doing)😁
But did you tighten the bolts holding down the solenoids to the recommended torque? Well done though – it's a job I would have approached with a lot of trepidation.
Had to double check how much gin was in my glass when I first started watching 😂😂, but wonderful job. You are far braver than me!
Glad you got this fixed! 🙂
Well done – very brave
Did you check the fluid level? Needs to be 35-45 degrees C so obviously close to 40 is ideal, they are usually over full tbh! Don't undo the reverse band by mistake if you check it haha
We subscribed like you asked us to lol really good to meet you and your son at brands hatch today , hopefully see you at the nec in November
Well done Matt great job mate.
well done you! not surprised you're chuffed.
Every time I see you tackle one of these jobs and battle for hours to get it done it brings me one step closer to getting rid of my 'ICE' vehicles and buying an electric vehicle with their 12 moving parts! lol At least you can go camping again now! Just remember to bring the propane fuel! 😄
Excellent job, Matt! Not only very satisfying but a huge saving!
Great video Matt, good example of where “give it a go” gets you 😊
Nicely done, check the level again when it's nice and hot, then do a couple of fluid changes while the undertray is off.
Braver than me, 😉
Hope your joy and optimism extends to revisiting the Merc or the V8, although we should let you savour the moment until the next challenge comes looking for you 🙂
I have a Mercedes clock same as yours on my living room wall
Fantastic video! I think his proves fixing an Auto isn't such a big scary mystery box that we all think it is! This has given me the confidence to give my Volvo's autobox a go when it goes wrong (which it will) 😂
Winner winner, chicken dinner.
Well done 👍
Absolutely spectacular. Best video ever.
What a Bumsy of a job.
You are a MAD Furious Driving Chap.
Rainman Ray's Repairs has got some major competition.
Aamaaaaziiing!
That was a very brave thing to do, insult your wife in front of the whole internet……
Well done sir greetings from Scotland 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
