It´s time to buy a new Mall Crawler because we got bored with our old one. Our LR4 was just too reliable for us and there was no work left to do. We might as well drive a Toyota and drink coffee around the clock. Not with us. Our new LR4 Mall crawler came with all sorts of little issues which we can fix down the road. In this episode we take you along how we picked and bought our new car and did the first easy repairs.

We hope you enjoy this episode and thanks for watching,

So the other day my wife walks in the room scowling asking me who is Vera. I look at her perplexed and tell her I don't know. Then she hands me a handwritten letter and after a second I get a big smile. My stickers and patch have arrived. The wife still scowling suddenly says, is that from the German couple on CZcams. I say yes and she rolls her eyes and says oh my god... I say exactly!
Same happened to me lol 😆 🤣
Mmmm... Vera...
Ha ha! I’m expecting my sticker any day soon, and exactly the same reaction!😂
Woohoo 🙌 more exciting times from the very best LR fixer on CZcams 🤩 Sundays will be even more worth waiting for 😊Thanks again for some lovely Sunday LR time with Christian & Vera 😘 🏴
I think Vera and Christian will be getting a call soon from the Discovery Channel. Then we will have to pay for our Sunday fix.
I can’t believe that Christian fixed the worst of the LR4 faults on the way home after collecting the car with the iiD tool. What smart move, normally it’s on the way home that all the LR faults pops up! ❤
I get the impression Christian is trying hard to hide his excitement. The more problems, the happier he seems.
Love these videos. Thank you Christian and Vera.
mental lol
There is no better feeling than fixing something that somebody else including professionals were not able to fix. Another great video!
It's Sunday and we get an extra hour to watch LR time
can you imagine trying to sell an LR to these pair !! The poor guy didnt stand a chance :-)
Watching your videos is becoming a ritual every sunday morning, I enjoy it very much; keep on filming!
I just bought a 2014 Land Rover Discovery 4 LR4 to be delivered in about a week. I've always been a tinkerer, even with our Mercedes vehicles. I really enjoyed this video, because I'm always looking to save money on minor vehicle repairs. The banter between this lovely couple is also pretty refreshing. Looking forward to learning a few Land Rover tricks. I once had a 2001 Disco 2, but didn't keep it for very long. Ready to have some fun with the 2014.
Lovely D4!! … your guide to buying a new D4 is 100% correct!! First step… get Christian to look at it!!
😀👍And having your Transfercase came in really handy already with that Disco. You are not going to believe what is the problem with him.🙄😅🙏🙋♀️Vera
Fantastic to see that clearing the adaptation values sorted the shift clunk. My 2011 Range Rover Vogue SE never goes near a main dealer.
not even my LR 3 for over 10 years
💪👍🙏That is so great🙋♀️Vera
i have a 2010 disco 4, 3.0 TDV6 HSE, i bought it in the Uk i;m British. i've never had a problem with it despite all the holidays in Ukraine on the appalling roads here. I took it to Ukraine on the 26th Feb and started evacuating families over the border at Uzerhorod. Driving thru the Carpathians every day fetching and carrying about 300 people thru ice & snow, minus 25c. Then i went to Odesa and drove from there to Constanta taking more families out and bringing in supplies of food, military kit & meds. Day in day out the vehicle was beautiful, handling superb, fuel economy not bad averaging about 8 litres per 100 kms. about month 4 of the year i was ferrying soldiers out to training camps where we instructed them in NATO methods across severe terrain for 5 weeks. Had to change the suspension bushes and some sort of arms and the suspension was like new. The Prop Shaft rattles a little and needs changing. Only broken item is the rear washer has stopped. Thing with these amazing vehicles it to service them regularly, Taken on board your advice vis a vis Oil! Still here and hauling people and stuff around in Nikolaiv. Our work has changed, the chaos, panic & fear is no longer and the vehcile keeps going. Winter is coming but a Disco 4 can handle that...
What a deep story. Thank you for your effort. I wish that your Discovery goes on for ever. Please stay safe or as safe as possible. People need you. Christian
A lovely video. Your joy at fixing the transmission problem was infectious! Looking forward to future videos.
You get the same sort of joy as me when you fix something the LR steelers can't fix! Love it.
Another Discovery, you silly twisted people you!
No seriously I've always said that the LandRover brand was being ruined and probably still is by incompetent dealerships.
Christian and Vera you've already "value added" to your new Disco, nice one.
I look forward to the build of the "new" mall crawler.
I found this to be a real good episode Christian and Vera, one of your best and I'm looking forwards to more updates on the work you do on this car, thank you and drive safely friends
Amazing video as always.
Another excellent video from you both. Thank you again. I can't wait for next Sunday for the next one.
😂😂😂. Everyone i know, including myself cannot wait to disable the stupid Stop/Start function, you are unique 😉
My 22" RRS wheels give a fantastic ride on my 2013 Disco4 mall crawler, even have worked well off road (sort of 😅)
Another brilliant video thank you LR TIME
Another fantastic video, thank you.
Congrats on your new to you LR4 and what a great looking Land Rover esp with all the new tech, always a joy watching you guys on a Sunday and even there kids have talent

Congratulations Christian and Vera on your new vehicle. 🇿🇦
Very happy to see you’ve got a new mall crawler for video content! Mine is a 2016 Landmark so a lot of the same features… looking forward to seeing more in the coming weeks!
A brilliant episode, I love the new mall crawler, makes me want to buy one now! Loads of interesting kit on it, I’m looking forward to watching you make it even better.
For a moment there I thought you were going to reject the new Mall Crawler because it did not have enough issues! I am looking forward to the work you do on it!
Christian and Vera fantastic entertainment and video,great to see your Updated HSE Model 🇬🇧❤️
You two make what looks like a problem child great. As always perfect Sunday morning. Love

Hi Christian and Vera, very nice D4, new mall crawler 😍👏💯

That was great ,,happy new car 🚗 👌
Excellent video I am supremely confident this build will be amazing
Congrats on the new car, this will deliver a lot of cool content.
Just come across your video for the first time i think you are both inspirational to tackle what most people would explode over! I too love the LR4 and after 3 years of Volvo ownership I am going back to owning a 2016 Discovery 4 Landmark. Your videos are delivered with such humour and patience! more videos please! Richard UK,
Perfect content guys, looking forward to the next vid😜
So happy for you both and your choice in colour if only it had the 5.0 litre V8 like mine!
True Mall crawling with outstanding off road capabilities!
Love your work 😊
Hey you got a great deal in the end ,well done .
congratulations on your new LR4. Mine is a 2012 HSE and mine is beautiful. Can't wait till you get into the repairs. I'm excited.
Fantastic. Thanks again. Always fun
The Discover4 is a great car it's the perfect blend of a great car to drive and a great utility vehicle. Love your energy both of you. Keep them coming.
Perfect as usual! Love the new LR4 ❤, my Mall Crawler is 2011 HSE with 80,000 miles and so I am a little jealous of all your additional tech. Although I still love mine 😊
I love you guys, love your wigs accent, and both your enthusiasm when purchasing and reviewing this vehicle. Thank you both very much. Danke schön 😊
Excellent video as always
Amazing, looking forward to new videos about the new mall crawler discovery.
Vera

Congrats for your new car Christian!
What lovely video, it is full of great tips, useful information and it is entertaining.
Hello Christian and Vera, I’m following your channel since few months and I’m going to buy a LR4 2015 HSE Landmark. Your video is very useful to prepare my checks before negotiations ;-). Thanks a lot 😊
I'M SO HAPPY YOU GUYS GOT THIS MALL CRAWLER! Expecting more videos on LR4! Give us mall crawler owners some attention!! :D
Congratulations on the new purchase. Really pleased the gearbox reset sorted the transmission issue.. And a battery for the stop start system cured that issue.. you lucked out... maybe? 😬 Looking forward to seeing you bring it back up to standard again.. 👍
Excellent video as always, very interesting thank you.
nice to see such joy, first thing on a sunday morning,😉 dont know what I would do without you 🤣🤣
😅👍🙋♀️Vera
Herzlichen
Glückwunsch zum neuen Disco, damit sind die nächsten Jahre Content gesichert! 🎉

CONGRATULATIONS!
Awesome new D4 Christian, it looks great in black .
Hi Christian and Vera, another great video on your new Mall Crawler and the problems, I am looking to buy a LR4 good things that can be repaired when I am looking at one. Look forward to the next video.
this was such a wonderful episode. i love listening to your German English. i never knew my German great grandparents so these LR videos do the job for me
Great feeds ,well done ,both.
Cant`t wait for the next video .
I have saved the last few episodes up to watch . This morning not having to work. I started to watch them all . When done today's had been posted . As always you are both fantastic , content always first class . This new content with they toy is going to be great . Christians barely hidden excitement with every new fault discovered has been so entertaining. Keep them coming . Brilliant stuff 👏
Thanks😀👍🙏 🙋♀️Vera
Loving the new car congratulations. Plenty of new video's on the way i hope showing you fixing all the little problems .
Before I bought my LR3 I had a MB CL and before that a Discovery 4 which I bought of a Russian in Dortmund. He even drove me to Hanau from Dortmund during a snowstorm and I paid 17.800 euros. I had the car and I had a lot of repairs to the anti theft system, the locks needed replacing, the wheel alignment was allover the place and electronic issues some I got to a point where I said enough is enough and sold it a year later for 15.500 euros to two Croatians and boy was that a lot of trouble because those guys falsified my signature on documents, ran uo quite a few tickets before they were forced to re-register the vehicle, and the end I had a lawyer and the police involved with those guys. 😳 I hope you don't regret it too much it might look nice and has some fancy stuff inside but you might ask yourself where does the buck stop one fine day. AS ALWAYS YOU HAVE MADE A GREAT SUNDAY VIEWING , KEEP 'EM COMING
We have learned that lesson 30 years ago when we sold our Lancia, but the buyer only got one ticket. We are extremely careful when selling our cars. It's more like a privilege to own one of our cars. 😅 🙋♀️Vera
Отличное видео!) Поздравляю с покупкой хорошего авто)
I think these videos are brilliant - and a fabulous looking truck !!
Good content as always 👍🏻
Hello Vera and Christian. Thank you for your wonderful videos about the challenges faced with your ownership of Land Rovers !. It's to our credit here in England, that we are able to produce a fantastic vehicle like the Land Rover, and deliberately fill it with minor faults. This helps keep you on your toes. 😂 You love a challenge....so we provide you with a Land Rover. LOL . Thank you once again for entertaining us. You are a great engineer. You should thank Vera for teaching you !!. All the best to you both.
You guys can start new business..buy used disco 3/4..fixed it then sold it for a few profit..and more land rover content for the channel 🤘🏻
Great video .Well done to Robin a very skillfull young man
Great video as always. Look forward to seeing the transmission video.
Looks great and another great video i have a LR 4 that I'm fixing one day soon it will be running again I've watched so many of your videos and always enjoy listening to you both thanks very much Paul
😀👍 Good luck fixing your LR4. 🙋♀️Vera
Wife and I are looking at an LR4 as a family car, so i just ran across your video doing some research, and I'm subscribed now😅
Y'all are very fun to watch, thanks for this video!
FIRST HERE , sit back and enjoy , nothing like finding faults , from the start .IF he only gave you 20 bucks , is that the amount he spends on the services .The ECO MODE , is now sorted . You Guys really like a challenge . I was in Dover last night and there was a 20 mile queue of faulty LR,s ALL heading to Germany for a make over and a rest to their lives . Great work , still not sure if to buy one 🤔 But keep the videos coming , thank you .
😀💪👍🙋♀️Vera
Another excellent video, thank you 🙏
It’s a shame most people don’t take pride in their work. Especially at dealerships when a lot of money is exchanged. Every dealership needs a Christian and Vera working on our vehicles. That would be awesome.
First time writer but watch from Australia
Love your show
Neil
Thanks 😊
Excellent video guys, busting the myth that you can’t fix your own Landrover.
Nice find. Funny how you were all excited for the start/stop feature. I hate it, and the first thing I do after starting my truck is to disable it.
Yes, I wonder how long Christians excitement lasts. I hate the ECO warning light. But he has to be in stop and go traffic for almost two hours every day. 🙋♀️Vera
Good video, thanks. Christian, in the US, there is only 2 vehicle battery makers ; East Penn and Johnson Control. All the different brands label either makers brand as their own. There are ways to tell the differences between manufacturers. Quality differences can be there but not really noticeable visually. Best way is by weight. For flooded batteries, lighter is an indicator of lower power (amps) and less life (less lead).
applicable to USA only. There are more globally, so he has choices. Sitetel (euro), YNC(korean), Dongseo (korean), Yuasa (Japan), Hitachi (Japan).
While Johnson controls makes Bosch and Varta batteries, they have factories globally so European choices won't come from USA plants.
Personally I prefer korean batteries lately, had horrible experiences with Exide and Johnson batteries.
You are correct N Terrs. However, I'm starting to see batteries from Saudi Arabia, Spain and China start to come in to USA. That being said, it's very limited to select sizes.
Are you guys starting to see Lithium batteries in Europe? They're rare and costly in USA.
This is the first time I got to see one of your videos, I was starting to look for a used Land Rover and I live in Germany, this is amzing, I'm goona watch all your videos :)
😅👍🙋♀️
Super Video. Ich habe mir das DAB+ Modul von in2digi eingebaut, somit ist es mit dem Original Soundsystem zu bedienen. Aber natürlich auch wesentlich teurer. Die elektrische Lenksäule ist einfach perfekt, wenn die Fahrer wechseln. Schönen Sonntag euch beiden.
Another gloomy Sunday lifted! LR Time is like a new tv series everyone looks forward to on a weekend. Far more entertaining than the c*@p on tv. Well done guys, keep it up, luv yer both.
😅👍🙏🙋♀️Vera
Love it.. I have a 2015 SE model, same colour. same reliability.. doesn't even leak any oil on the driveway. We love it! And we get to use it heaps in the australian countryside, properly off road.
Another awesome video, thanks. New Lead Acid battery, I always put a new battery on a good freshening charge overnight/auto to get all the cells back into step. 1.26sg @25°C ideally. You never know how long that 'new" battery has been on the shelf and car alternator
Another very interesting and informative video. By the way, does Robin either speak or smile? Talented like his dad.
Brilliant 👏👏👏☘️
Now I am convinced that I need a LR discovery.
Hi you two, my secondary battery was causing the eco stop start mode to not work. When I changed the small battery it cured the problem. Good luck with the new car. Some good videos coming up I think!
Wow! Really brill Gpx❤🎉
Nice car, great video love the way you resolve problems.
I’ve just done a 3 hour round trip in my Discovery 1 no issues whatsoever I was thinking on my way home to swap for a D3 or 4 thanks for making me realise I’ll stick with what I have 😂
I have a 300tdi disco love but towing a bit slow I'm upgrading but also keeping my old favourite
Wow. Another fantastic video & I think Christian got himself a bargain D4.
Great features on fixing the issues too.
I’m waiting for the 20” wheels to be changed for something more sensible 👍
Yes, that will hopefully happen. Just got to save up first for new rims and tires. 👍🙋♀️Vera
JLR used that style of locking wheel nut for a while. They are hopeless and I had to get one removed from a Jag by a specialist as when they break they just spin, even with the original unlocking nut. Best replaced with McGard style, which is what newer models now use as well. Great video 👍
The easy way is a 19 or 20mm holecutter to remove at little cost
