Body-Off and Engine Out - Catastrophic Engine Failure / S4-Ep12

“Admiration” doesn’t even start to describe it! - Amazing what you both achieve 👍

[@regsparkes6507]

Also 'amazing' what can be achieved with video editing! LOL!

[@richardwilkinson4010]

An amazing effort and an amazing wife!!! Brilliant...can't wait to see engine teardown....😮

[@mcclaink06]

This is amazing

[@user-yv8kd2jo2x]

I wonder how many of those Facebook hounds could achieve this level of mechanical competence. What a daunting prospect to even start this project. You guys are an awesome team.

[@Vera_and_Christian]

Oh, they only want to sell you their aftermarket parts or promote their workshop. No real advice coming from them. 😅🙋‍♀️Vera

Best wishes to your father Christian on his 84th birthday 🎉. It’s great that he shows up now and then to help out. I’ve never seen a body off engine removal before. It looks very daunting. Cheers from Australia.

'I think the noise always happens when it's too late'. Brilliant.

very clever people i love watching you x and vera the brains of the show lol

[@naroddyzmow5356]

It is gut to have froeline interested in mechanics

[@martinevans5802]

I'm afraid I agree with Vera, this could not be more exciting! Subscribed within the first few minutes of viewing. I am humbled by the enthusiasm for Land Rovers around the globe, whereas in the UK the brand is soon to quietly fade away, like a chastened dog, tail between its legs. Thanks to a pair of charming Germans keeping the spirit alive... I'd like to think Britain never really left Europe, we're just on a break.

[@Rugbyman269]

Next favourite channel to salvage rebuilds for me , and that says a lot .

[@nickjoylanding2403]

Amazing work stated! Warning: Do NOT do this at home before checking out the market price of scrap metals

[@paulmcgee1867]

Love how you’re organised and all the effort.

[@pirikaty]

Great video and a charming couple. As a British person I am so embarrassed that LR cannot do reliability on their more recent offerings...

[@leejordanful]

A master class in body and engine removal. Well done to the three of you. It's great to see your Dad helping out.

[@richardmessenger9474]

Wow..way to go...I do all my repairs on the driveway including engine out ......but you two doing a body lift off job is altogether another level....saw your previous Land Rover engine rear build and that was fantastic...a crankshaft failure at that low a milage is crazy but for Land Rover it's quite common...I can't believe how many bloggs I've seen on crankshaft failures for this model...

[@gentlesoul1513]

you guys are priceless, please don't change anything about how you work together I (we) all appreciate the commitment in you filming your work and sharing with us 😊😊

Respect for attempting that outside on your drive. Best wishes

I wish I enjoyed fixing my Rover as much as this guy.

[@Discoveryjamie]

Christian it’s important you don’t let them Facebook comments get to you buddy. You and Vera honestly are great. Your approach is stronger then diy and inspires people to have a go to save money on what can be potentially an expensive car to run if you don’t have a go yourself. Myself included. I look at some jobs and think no way. Watch your videos and sometimes I’m out same day having a go. Yourself and powerful uk inspired me and continue to do so. So much so I have created a new KZbin too. Just for my discovery adventures. Be on the lookout for a mention many times ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@stephencrowther524]

“Clunk of stuff” An excellent description !

[@LionTheHeart]

No One can Ever call you stupid! Amazing

[@alienspaceship5326]

It’s great to be watching this process. In the shop, we really don’t think too much about creating tools, as we have them there. Plenty of others around too, and remind us “hey don’t forget THAT” or “that you don’t have to do yet”. Great respect for being able to do this big job in your own! I hope we’re all beginning to realize the engineer’s thoughts: “everything is real easy to do on this engine, you just need to take off the body!”

[@julianhull965]

I've done engine swaps on Defenders but this Disco 4 body off is in another league. Chapeau. You are a great team; informative and entertaining.

[@lincolnpiers7]

That was amazing work - just love to see how you overcome challenges as they appear and just keep going. Can't wait till the next episode!

[@alexshapley8331]

Wow! I'm exhausted just watching that... ... frankly, Amazing!

[@CAAutoElectronics]

Christian, Vera, An amazing video. I can't believe what you manage in your driveway. I love the ingenious solutions that you come with to solve the problems that LR techs would be stuck scratching their heads at.

[@eoghanfla6343]

From now on oil changes will be a body off job! There were parts of this video where I could feel the stress, well done getting it all apart and no damage.

[@WaldosWorld]

Having pulled the body off now, what are your thoughts on the process? Was it easy or difficult? How would you feel about doing it again? It certainly looked complicated with a lot of opportunity to break things. Also, reassembly might be difficult 😬

[@Vera_and_Christian]

I followed the Workshop manual. Very easy but nerve wrecking. Unbelievable that this works… Definitely much easier than through the front. I guess less than 5h next time. Christian

[@aynuryilmaz6324]

[@AbbasBinYounas]

​@@Vera_and_Christian shop manuals usually call for having some specialized tools. Did you get such tools for this job or made it through with common tools?

Wow! Thank you for sharing this so much. I just purchased 2014 that had a catastrophic engine failure. This video is undoubtedly helpful-cheers from Scottsdale, Arizona.

Awesome video guys. You had me glued to every minute. Never seen a body removed in such detail.you both work so well together,combining the serious part and fun part. But still working very safely with what you have to work with. Looking forward to next video. All the best Jason.uk.

[@lewiscropley2308]

Great video, thanks very much. Does anyone know what the software/pdf for the car (looking for SDV6 XS workshop and user manual, some diagrams similar to the computer screen in the video) was on the computer and where to get it?

You Two are an amazing team. I was only looking at some help to get the rear bumper off my D4 because I have handbrake wiring issues & ended up watching your whole video because its so impressive you working together and not getting angry or defeated with the magnitude of the job at hand. Well done and I take my hat off to you both!

You are doing a great job. I am a backyard mechanic from way back when it was easy to work on simple design cars. Totally in awe of your skills. Cars are now a total electronic nightmare to me but hey just up your street Christian. Keep up making the videos I have rapidly learned that I will never have the skills to do anything on my vehicles engine!

60k kilometres and a wrecked engine, absolutely unbelievable. A very bad advert for LR. Great video.

Once again, you go beyond amazing! I kinda suspect you do a LOT of research before tackling something as major as taking the body such a complex piece of machinery. Vera, You are his inspiration and rock and we haven't heard so many OMGs as we usually do - but they always crack me up! Thank you both, for the best car show on You Tube! Do Patreons get a free

[@alibro7512]

I made my pit with 100mm boards so it is safe to drive on and jack cars up from them. Except I didn't dig it deep enough nor did I seal it properly so not only is it too shallow to work from but it fills with water. 😭 Maybe I'm not so smart. 🤣 I just found your channel and really enjoy the content and your fun together. How I wish my wife had an interest in my car projects so Christian you are a very lucky man to have such a wonderful lady to keep you right.

[@stephenboyer5303]

What a fantastic job you both are doing your an inspiration to all mall crawler owners 😊😊😊

Im in the UK and TBH its full of Haters and horrible envious ppl... Well done you guys I love your detailed content and I'm addicted to your channel... Love your banter and relationship. well done from Liverpool.

[@dquad]

Random guess at failure cause on engine: Material defect in connecting rod resulted in fatigue crack on #1 rod. Rod failed, swung around and jammed between block and crank.

[@trixtarick]

You guys are truly awesome. My girlfriend and I are considering a cross over pipe replacement (body off) because of you two. Many thanks x

👌💪🙋‍♀️

[@georgerickman8384]

Top video. Nicely explained Adam. I'd never of found the adjuster .

[@ciarancarty6186]

Brilliant work! Well done to you both. Such a great milestone achievement! P.S. - I love the colour. The Disco looks great in navy blue.

[@robpeabo509]

You have both done great with your first body off project. It seemed relatively painless - either plenty of editing or it really was relatively painless. A bummer about the oil pan, but you did come up with a solution. I am looking forward to what you do about rotating the engine. The other option if you can't rotate it is to take the heads off to see if there is something obvious, followed by the sump to view the crank & rods if you still can't turn it with the heads off. I know that would be a bugger, though they most likely have to come off anyway no matter what you find if it is an internal engine problem. I can't wait till part 2 of this series.

[@t4mor4]

I used to dream about working on the engine without the body in the way, nice work.

[@larry365]

I was looking forward to this. I have taken the body off my D3 3 times solo; it is a bittersweet job. Also, it is so convenient that the AC hoses were disconnected for you by the AC fairies 😉😂. Great job as always!!

Hi just watching your video in australia and it’s inspirational , I’ve owned one of these cars and had a nightmare time trying to repair and I gave up in the end . So I’m glad your having a win fixing this car , great mechanical teamwork and nice people . Good luck .

[@stevehealy1594]

Another brilliant video, I’m learning loads of information from your videos

[@harveysmith100]

A very good job supporting the gearbox nice and straight. The pump will be fine. Everyone forgets that a seized engine prevents access to the torque converter bolts. I know nothing about Land Rovers.

[@Vera_and_Christian]

Absolutely right, that is how we differ between desktop mechanics and those who actually know. 👍🙋‍♀️

[@johnnyknap]

That’s one complicated bit of machinery! Great progress. Very well!

[@jonathanbiggar4973]

And I thought fixing farm machinery could be frustrating, they certainly give you a few challenges and work arounds, the kiss theory has well and truly been forgotten about by Land Rover , great video thanks for sharing.

[@gregculverwell]

If you are going to move a lot of dead vehicles around, you may want to make or buy yourselves a towing bar. Makes it so much easier because you can push & pull very controllably.

[@grahamwest1079]

Great team work again, getting more ambitious with every video. Excellent job . Happy birthday to your dad.

[@straightsix9140]

I've had to go and hug my Land Cruiser after watching that ! You 2 are brilliant and should be brought in by Land Rover as designers .I would be tempted to buy one if you approved it ,even though I'm a Toyota man !! . Body off on your example is made bearable as its like new as are the bolts etc .Rusty exapmles could get near impossible to seperate body and chassis also as they get older and less in value I cant see them getting repaired sadly due to the work involved . ....

[@jdy1157]

Landrover wanted 30,000 euro to repair it because they would have to hire a real mechanic to do the job, and you 2 make it look so easy. Not something I would dare attempt, so respect for taking on such a big project.
