Maybe Dave can be invited to appear in one of your videos by facetime?

Hi Christian & Vera. Love the videos very informative for servicing and looking to buy LR4. Question do you have the link to VIN service search on LR site? Looking at vehicle currently and want to check their history. Thanks Regards Rob

Thanks for the great video, but why accelerate the important parts of the work on the brakes? I think it's important information that viewers want to follow...

Did you hear that VW Amarok 2023 also got 3.0 Lion ? I just wonder the VW crankshaft spare part price 😊

After several hours listening to you two, I said to my wife, when discussing a used outboard engine for our boat, "That is a cat in a sack". The look I got back was 'WTF?" Haha.

Yeh it's really pathetic with such low km the bearing gone really tells you the shit motors they build now they should last 500 ks like the early motors

would you advise to mount a toyota motor after engine failure?

Guys, great job !

Hi Christian and Vera, another fascinating video and explanation on lubrication of bearings. I'm a fan of Audi's, I've always got at least one of them, I've owned them since 1990. I use a local Audi independent specialist for servicing and I've asked them to use 5w/40w, but they wont do it because of their T&C's, they provide a very good service, so I dont want to go to a desktop mechanic. Any ideas as to how I can show them the error of their ways?😮😅 I could let them do the service and then just change their oil using the Sealey syphon unit, I'm too old to lay under the car to drain via the sump plug😢

best landrover mechanic in europe move to england and show them how to do this !!!! oh and buy a log buster much easier than an axe love watching you guys xx

Is 164,000 miles on a disco 4 too much ?

I love this channel. Buying the worst British cars while living in Germany is definitely an odd lifestyle, but it's very very entertaining.

Fascinating. It is counter-intuitive (to me) that a thicker oil film than spec can cause wear. I enjoyed your sone blacksmithing, also.

Where would I find the workshop manuals I always see you guys with? Is this a unofficial LR manual?

I, as a Brit, lived and worked in the US for two decades. I was surprised how where I Iived in Pennsylvania, there were oil change shops dotted everywhere like we in the UK have pubs. Friends I came to know would ignore the manufacturers instructions for oil changes and change their oil much more frequently / shorter distance intervals than recommended. This was a totally different approach to the UK, where after warranty ran out, people would really slide on oil change discipline. In the US, frequent oil changes and the generally longer distances people drive (think nothing of driving two hours to dinner, or an hour to a supermarket) are why so many US vehicles see big mileage achievements. Seeing a car reach 250,000 miles was met with a shrug. Change your oil, people!

Love the video, love the hammer Axe more !!

You two are simply awesome. I marvel at your fortitude, know-how, organisation, collaboration and co-operation through a very complex breakdown, mixed with wit, humour and general cheerfulness in a second language, all dressed with excellent video editing. You would be a joy to watch for anyone that owns a torque wrench, and maybe some that don't know what one is. Thank you.

All of a sudden I feel like I need a crack head, single mother of 6 with 4 dogs, and a gambling addiction as a girlfriend. Or I could buy a D4.....

Vi uma Discovery 4 2016 com 250 mil km ,e estavabem perfeito estado,mas é bem raro chegar a essa kilometragem sem estragar o virabrequim

the ONLY thing these car discover are PROBLEMS

Wondering what software your using on the tablet for the work? Keep up the vids, am catching up to your latest ones :)

Also mandatory in Australia for the headlight washers and self levelling

'5W-dumbass'. First class! That main bearing area on the LR is shocking, from en ex tuner working heavily with the Toyota 2JZ-GTE where a stock crank, con rod, bearing, piston and oil pump will happily take twice its stock power output without breaking a sweat. I love how you compare Toyota to LR btw, but it does show just how woefully inadequate the LR engines are. Its put me off ever buyin one but I will watch every single video you put out because I just love you and Vera! Top notch content!

Best Toyota videos on the internet.

My used 2016 came with that seat back release broken. LR has one coming in tomorrow, if it's an emergency you can take off the bezel reach in and pull it by hand. Other than the plastic bits it's been as reliable as a Toyota but they're less reliable than a Mazda

A correctly installed accumulator can help extend engine lifespan. It is a pressurized reservoir that can provide oil pressure prior the first starting crank... and also if oil pressure is lost from the oil pump, it can give precious seconds of pressure before shut down. After the engine builds pressure, the accumulator refills with pressurized oil, they come in different sizes but sometimes plumbing can be a challenge.

As an owner of classic Land Rovers i would love to see you guys rebuild an engine of the 60's and work on older Land Rovers as well.

Hi Christian, I am not familiar with psting comments on CZcams, in fact this is only my second attempt, the first being yesterday on another of your older videos. I actually posted this on one of your videos (installing an oil pressure gauge) and only noticed that you had actually downloaded it 2 years ago, so I though I would repost it here in the hope of a reply. Anyway, thanks to you and your charming and lovely wife (you are very lucky, as my wife is not one bit interested in how engines work, just Horses), for all your informative and very entertaining videos. Where do you get all your technical information from, and how can I obtain it too, I don't mind paying for it by the way? I also have a 'Queen' :) in white, black & grey two tone Turbine wheels and black accents etc, it also has a red leather interior, though mine is a long wheel base, I will be keeping this one also. My wife has not very long ago bought a Discovery 4, Luxury model, which has just under 90000 Miles, not Kilometres, on it, she loves it, I like it too, I think it's much better that the new Defender, which my son has one of those, part petrol, part electric. So I am going to do the timing belts and the transmision oil and filter etc. I personally don't like electric, yes they are fast, but not practical to me. I believe we we will all be using Hydrogen anyway before too long. I had a car running on Hydrogen in 1976, so its doable. I have personally owned 56 Range Rovers and quite a number of other vehicles, which some I still have. The first one cost me £1800.00 brand new in 1970, which was quite a lot of money in those days. I believe it was one of the first one's to be produced. It was Bahama Gold, but to me, it looked more like an English Mustard colour, obviously a two door with plastic seats, no carpet or radio and certainly no power steering. I can still remember my arms aching badly, mind you I was only 16 and legally couldn't drive it on the public roads, but of course I did do so. I only ever got pulled by the Police once and that was because the Policemen had not seen one before! I have never owned or even driven a P38, never liked them one bit. I do my own maintenance now, not only because I enjoy it, but I do not trust the so called experts at the dealerships. I have had bad experiences, especially with the early models with the Buick 3.5 V8 engines, the cams used to wear down on them at low fairly miles. I remember picking one up and the head mechanic giving me a Tobacco tin with all the nuts and bolts they had left over!! That also happened at another dealership with a 12 seater 3.5 V8 Defender (1986), which I still have. Anyway, sorry about the long story, but I thought I would just let you know I am serious about my Land Rovers. Kind Regards. Paul

😂 There’s a reason they named it a discovery! Every time you drive it you’ll discover something new 😅

Now make sure to measure the air density when it is back in and running, just like Dave would do 😅

Hi buddy why would I have diesel in coolant and coolant in fuel did change fuel cooler under car twice and still getting water in fuel really bad clean tank out spot less new fuel filter and cooler and still doing it it there 2 fuel cooler on this motor or one in ford Territory 2011 Model

What colour scotch brite pads do you use for this work?

I have a small work shop. I do envy People who have big garages to work in. I know people like to show off their huge Strapon tool boxes too. Im a harbor freight tool guy. They are holding up nice. I also order tools from Amazon. Not as much as I use too. But I'm needing a bigger tool chest.

What was the program on your phone that put the suspension into tight tolerance mode?

I have a question Lr time, why is 0.4l per minute ok for you fuel flow when on Robbie's Guide he says you need 1.7 -3 L per minute? I am scratching my head with this one

Dear Christian & Vera did you do plans for this build?

I Have the same brake line tool it is Fantastic

🤐🤐🤕🤐🤐🤕🤐🤕🤕

For Vera, Rule of Thumb is an English expression. I used to put top rings in with a small undersize step at the top, especially made for worn bores. Pistons used to expanded to take up wear. with a special expander, and yes, I have a machine shop in my garage, and am a toolmaker.

Hello, if this TDV6/SDV6 crankshaft have crack problem, why don't use forged crankshaft ?

Hi Vera and Christian your channel is brilliant!! 2 quick questions 1/ Can you use the Heisenberg method to clean the EGR valves out, would they continue to work and save you replacing them with new ones? 2/ have you replaced on your discovery 3 2.7 either of the rear wheel bearings as from other channels it appears you have to remove the bearings manually with sleeve pullers and pushers, I cannot see you’ve covered this in any of the very many of your brilliant videos ? I have to do this on my vehicle and really want to watch what you guys do as you are the “bible” for DIY mechanics. Plus you two are so funny each video is a really positive experience brilliant thank you so much :-)

I am sure everything will be fine, Vera. Christian was wearing his NASA hat.

Christian and Vera. Have you considered fitting an electric oil pump to pre oil the engine at start up. These are fitted to competition engines and some tanks. I cant believe anyone would accept an engine rattling away without oil pressure for 3 or 4 seconds on each start up because the designers screwed up. You are doing a shit hot job!!

If Christian could sing Pete Seeger's wood chopping song next time that would be cool!👌

Viera: Aghh, this piece took about 45mins.. Chris: Nah, it took about an 40mins 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I love this couple

I understand you are doing gen 2 block now, isn’t? does it fit all D4 3.0 bolt-on ? Or just very latest versions, like 2016 ?

You make my life complete, you always make great entertaining videos and bring a smile to my face knowing the world is a better place for all your efforts
