Video

Thanks for the comment mate, in all of my later videos I have used a mic. Sorry the audio is so poor.

lol! Yes since this video I have bought gloves and eye wear!

Hi mate I did this at 173k. Good luck

@@johnedwards7118 wow and was this first time the oil been changed on yours? Mine is only at 119k and the shudder is apparent and the revs indicator moves up and down from time to time. Mine hasn’t had the oil changed yet but I would thought the symptoms wouldn’t come at around at least 150-170

@@miroarva1424 I suspect that was the 1st time my gear oil had been out, I am actually looking to change the oil again in a couple of months as this only gets 60% of the old oil out so now it’s had a good mix I’ll drop the oil out again and refill just to ensure the oil is too quality in there. Good luck with the change, let me know how it goes. I’m on insta with the same user name if you have questions or get stuck DM me on there and I’ll get back to you asap.

All done now mate, full video on my CZcams channel! Rides so much better now!!

Was good fun though

Hi mate, that’s not a job I have had to do yet, my understanding is that it’s quite easy to do. Should just in bolt however if the last person that had it off used a bit of sealant as well as a gasket could be a bit trickier to get off. Good luck

@@johnedwards7118 thank you

@@user-dt2up9wo4u you’re welcome! Good luck mate.

On the near side lower it looked like you didn’t have to take the driveshaft out. Did you have a trick for that. Thanks

It was a slog, wasn’t all that technically difficult, would have been a nightmare if I was in a rush. The best bit of advice would be give yourself the time. Glad you liked the video. Thanks for getting in touch.

Thanks mate, was a few times when I thought I’d taken on too much in one go, car drives amazing now! Best thing I’ve ever done on it.

Glad you liked it, getting it back in was one of the worst jobs I’ve ever done!

With the amount of rain we are getting these videos are getting a lot of plats now. Hope it helped. Are you changing yours?

Glad you liked it mate! Hopefully it helps

Hi Rob, I have thought about it however I do this during daddy day care time, so have to be around to fix bikes and make drinks for the kids during the day. Plus I’m a glutton for punishment!

Ah mate! That’s great news, it’s saved you a few quid! I eventually I am going to go for a tent box roof tent. I have never really explored the Uk too much the Disco 3 will be perfect for it.

No problem! It’s a tricky job! Good luck

It’s incredible how many drill bits are required! Also quite comforting to know how strong those pilars are!!

I will do, the raining hot grinder sparks got me a couple of times, deffo on the list now, gloves too!

Thanks mate! I’m really pleased with it, marks the start of the mods for over landing

Oh mate! 100% do this! Use the auto glym kit! It was about 30mins per headlamp. Easy AF and great results.

@@johnedwards7118 I think this could be a balance between time and effort. I would like to send you some PPe, How can we make this happen ?

@@johnedwards7118 Sound mate, How do i DM you ?

Thanks for the comment mate! Appreciate it. Got all 4 front arms to do next!!!

Was a nightmare to fit, worth it though!

Well done looks a great job. I’ve seen a few videos and everyone struggles with drilling the A pillar and just gets two bolts in. I got a Dremel for cutting metal in tight spots much more controllable than an large angles grinder, perhaps add one of those to your tool box? Great video 👍

@@roberttruman8332 I’d love a dremel, it’s already on my Christmas list.

@@roberttruman8332 got a dremel now mate! Thanks for the tip!

Hope it helped buddy! It’s a pig of a job but the truck is running lovely now!

Thank for the message, I love that truck despite it being a pain in the bum. The suspension system was a nightmare and I replaced nearly every part however works a treat now. The issue was the coils it was on still used the height sensors to adjust the headlamps

Thanks for the comment! I’ll check that out!

Thanks for the tip, I’ll bear it in mind in future. Makes sense when I think about it.

I was dreading this job, easily the biggest I have undertaken! I am still living in fear of the leaks. The only part of that kit I was unimpressed with was that gasket. I’ll upgrade the gasket when I have it off to change the filter next. Good luck doing the job, let me know how you get on. If you get stuck in on Instagram with the same name so bang me a message and I’ll get back to you.

That is a quality solve! Getting that fuse board back in was the worst job I have ever done! A mate of mine is a mechanic and he told me with a bit of force you can twist it through 90degrees so you can actually see the plug side on and get it in, you have to be very careful twisting it back though. Not a job I will be doing again in a hurry.

Thanks mate, appreciate your comment. I have a few bits that I want to have made up, like a full steel under tray and a winch mount. Please DM me so I can have your details to get this stuff made up when it’s fully mechanically fit.

Great video, I had the same issue with the passenger side in January and wanted to do the driver side but was too scared!, feel more confident to do it now 😀

If we knew what we were doing we would never buy a Discovery 😀 I think you are doing a great job 👍

@@roberttruman8332 hi mate, it’s far far easier than the passenger side no where near the headache of the CJB!!!! It’s a lot closer too on the drivers side. No mechanic yoga this time. The main issue is getting the air vent off without breaking it. Slow build up of constant pressure on the bottom edge did the trick.

@@roberttruman8332 thank you, it’s a little bit of the blind leading the blind but I just found that many of the other videos make everything look so easy. The German channel have me thinking I can rebuild an engine block on a weekend! I couldn’t imagine how much swearing would be involved if I was making those videos!

Hi mate, there was an improvement, about 4-5mpg on a long run. I’m glad you like the videos and I hope they help. I try to make them more warts and all as I noticed a lot of videos don’t show all the things that go wrong and mistakes made. I’ve not had anything go on my instrument cluster yet. I would recommend that you get a good code scanner as the fault can sometimes be the opposite end of the car from the problem. Thanks for the comment and god luck with the truck.

@@johnedwards7118 I enjoy your vids the way there shot and not edited to death like some others , I will invest in a computer 👍

I did think about getting a low profile ratchet but I had already broken the gearing on my 1/4 drive trying to get the fill hole open and then had to buy a new 3/8 drive as I broke that one in the diff video, so I was £60 down replacing the tools! My wife is understanding but to a point! So I just had to do those bolts under the cross members the hard way.

@@johnedwards7118 If you had a Po Box, I will send you some PPE, Oil and grit in the face and arms is not nice, been there loads of times.

Hiya, thanks for the comment, I’ll take it on board. It’s just a hobby and I do it all in one take, I have found a lot of videos make these jobs seem a lot easier than they are, I want to try to convey that they are quite tricky jobs and things never go to plan, and that it’s ok that they don’t as long as you persist. I’m 100% not a pro and am learning as I go. Appreciate the comment and I’ll try and make a few changes on my next video.

@@johnedwards7118 Appreciated and the content is generally good and helpful

Thanks mate, I have never had so much oil in my eyes in my life! Messiest job ever!

Looks like I’ll have to fire up the GAP tool and measure the performance.

Thanks for the comment, very useful

Good luck mate! I hope the hulk didn’t do yours up! I am doing the gearbox and transfer case oil, filter and seals this weekend.

I am doing the transfer case this weekend, I have also bought all the seals on the mechatronic unit to so will replace them while I am in there.

@@johnedwards7118 The auto gear box i believe holds 3.5 to 4 lts of oil.

Hi mate, I have a small socket set from Halfords,

Thanks mate! You were bang on, I put a new AMK compressor in and then swapped out the central valve along with all new airlines. All sorted now. Thanks again for the comment

Mate!!! That’s a great idea! Why didn’t I think of that! If the balloon breaks or decays (I suspect it will) 100% I’m doing that!!! Thanks for the comment.

Same here!

Thanks 👍

Glad it has helped!

Oh I hadn’t even thought of spraying them!! That’s a class idea thanks!

Yes mate, 30mm M8 washer fits the standard rails perfectly!

@@johnedwards7118 Thanks for the reply, seems a good easier option.

Thanks mate, it does the job, I will upgrade to an overland roof rack one day but couldn’t face paying the Thule prices

Yes mate! That passenger side is a nightmare. You’re better than me I still have the drivers side to do!

You’re welcome! Was really annoying having a loose corner. Was pleased I have done that now. Thanks for the comment!

Hi Bob, pleased this has helped. The clamp at the bottom of the coolant system where I drained the coolant from is fiddly, my hose was stuck well on and the clamp doesn’t slide down the pipe like normal as it gets caught on the clasp above. I’m sorry my footage doesn’t show it very well, I got my pliers and opened the clasp up the zip ties the pliers so it would stay open so I could use two hands on the pipe. Once the pipe was off the system drained in a minuet maybe 2 then I just put my hose in till it ran clear. The 1st bleed screw behind the fan will leak 1st, you will hear the air coming out when you do your 1st pour. Then when that bubbles out I closed it off leaving the bleed tap open on the new tank, then start the car and warm it up, keep topping it up as you go then when the tank screw bleeds close that up too, let the car cool off, check the cold level then top it up if needed. Hope this helps. Good luck let me know how it goes.

Great thank you. I’ll give it a go and see what happens 👍

In my Disco 3 I use 5w40 as I’ve done 173k miles and the extra viscosity helps

I’m blown away at how good it is, took mine out tonight they are noticeably brighter.
