Dead Engine Removal from our Land Rover LR4 / S5-Ep14

[@Handleyman]

I just want to say how much I appreciate you talking in English and how good your pronunciation is. I’m sure there are times that you wish you didn’t have to but we all appreciate it. 🙂

[@noelcahill6707]

Where you think english came from germany and speaking english gives them more viewers

[@johnlydon533]

Another great video guys. I enjoy all of them. Definitely tea to go with LR. Enjoyed watching. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@1THENWOOD]

Well the Queen’s paternal family was German.

[@simonuden8450]

Rather than stopping you opening the bonnet while driving along, I think you'll find that bracket on the Defender is to stop someone breaking a window to gain access under the bonnet of a locked, parked car. Catalytic convertor theft defeat, maybe? I believe the cats are up closer to the engine on these.

[@martynbush]

Sunday afternoon with Vera, Christian, a broken Land Rover, a cup of tea, and a digestive biscuit. Life doesn't get much better.

[@richardwells1709]

Working on this Land Rover Discovery engine is like watching an episode of Casualty The way you work together in dismantling this old engine is brilliant

[@MostynWitham]

Good morning to my favorite Sunday morning couple!

[@nelsyoung833]

Nice gesture of Simon to come and visit your place.

[@MsRandikay]

I wake up early every Sunday morning just to watch the 2 of you. My husband knows about cars, etc. I know nothing , but at 71, am learning. Enjoy your Channel VERY much! ☺️

[@Vera_and_Christian]

😅👌💪🙏🙋‍♀️

[@Rickwardful]

It is great that you and Simon for Powerful UK met up with each other! I’ve always assumed that the ‘Stig’ refers to the Top Gear Test driver who originally, allegedly originates from Finland, where the famous Rally drivers come from.

[@rafflesnh]

I seem to recall Simon naming it the Stig after the Top Gear driver(s) who always wore a white helmet with black visor which match the car's colour scheme.

[@timwilliams2343]

Stig Blomqvist was a Swedish rally driver, but I just learned from Wikipedia that a 'stig' was a new boy at Repton (where Clarkson and Wilman went to school).

[@traceyriddle2550]

Morning cup of tea in hand 😊

[@roydibs44]

What a lovely happy couple working together 😊l enjoy watching you two .

[@marksaunders1565]

My favourite Land Rover U Tubers , all on one post. Excellent!

[@atoieno]

Absolutely! I received my first new Defender add-on from Simon before I had a Defender to put it on!

[@MarkWitacher6022]

Simon's presence made this channel even more enjoyable. I love his channel, just like all desktop mechanics.

[@welshwizard55]

I have watched several of your videos on this job and from a retired mechanic, who actually run a workshop for the Army in Monchengladbach(South Ayrshire Barracks), I think you have done a great job on your informative videos. Vielen danke!! The first vehicle I ever worked on was a Series 1 Landrover. This particular Landrover has a bad reputation for it's engine. Luckily you have a two post ramp in your garden, unfortunately not many people do.🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@peterbullen3347]

This is great, it just shows the Landrover community is alive and well on KZbin..

[@qre268Zrtb]

OMG, I don't know how I am going to cope waiting a whole week for you both to pull the engine apart. I genuinely enjoy your work. Thank you. Regards from Oz.

[@Colinpark]

Nice to see Simon visiting you guys, I have used his video extensively on my L322. It's also helps to have a smart, interested helper when down in the pit, having to crawl out of the pit multiple times gets hard on your body. As for tea, I live on the stuff!!

[@simonlivingstone1081]

Tea is definitely the answer to most problems. Thanks for another great video

[@RaulSTV]

14:19 Useful TIP I also got from someone that helped me: instead of repeatedly pumping the hydraulic cylinder in order to rise the engine lifting crane, it's much faster and more practical to undo the release valve of the pump, then lift the crane by hand, and then close the release valve. Hope this is a worthy LR Time viewer comment. All the best from me!

[@richardsheil5289]

Going to try that

[@jacksrus]

Me to 🍻

[@richardsheil5289]

It works

[@gavinvale2865]

Even following your videos i wouldn't have the guts to strip it down. Love your videos

[@johnspear3452]

My two favourite land rover KZbinrs, there has been an LR Time sticker in Simons workshop for a good while.

[@ThomasFromHome]

When you mentioned Simon the first time, I thought: Simon, what Simon. Then I saw "The Stig" and I thought: Ah, it's Simon. Wonderful.❤

[@KatlegoMac]

This is full circle. I used to watch Simon’s channel with the Green Disco 4. It’s good to see him on this channel.

[@ccconlan2670]

Hi vera and christian.brillant content.great to see Simon on your channel.looking forward to future episodes.😊😊😊

[@sidkrohme]

How good was it to see Simon pay a visit 😎.... great lad Simon! Would be some of the best footage on KZbin watching Christian & Simon working together 😄

[@DarrenCoull]

Tea once a week? It's a start I guess, but (old school) British mechanics can only work effectively if there is a mug of tea, at minimum, once an hour! When you pick up a mug to drink it, it forces you to re-evaluate your work so far, and to plan the next hour. 😀

[@welshwizard55]

You have all the right tools in your garage/workshop.

[@fw1421]

These two are a well oiled machine. Reminds me of Josh and Erin on the Wild Wonderful Off Grid channel. They’re building their additional to their West Virginia mountain home,not cars. Still entertaining to watch.

[@missrita216]

My husband and I watch you every Sunday! Love you two!

[@johncullinan8041]

Wonderful content and such great humour. Your English is so good and I really appreciate that you make the effort for your English speaking viewers. 😊

[@bigogger50]

As a Toyota driver I love watching your brilliant content and look forward to Sundays.

[@AdmissionGaming]

Christian what's your opinion on this from a anti-seize manufacturer; Henkel-Adhesives Quote: "steel substrates pose numerous challenges when it comes to seizure and galling. Using anti-seize lubricants for steel can help minimize many of these issues and facilitate assembly and disassembly a for maintenance and repair. However, it is important to remember that while many compounds exist for steel, copper anti-seize on steel will create inter-crystalline corrosion which can cause parts to crack or break when under heavy loads." They recommend using Nickel antiseize instead.

[@Vera_and_Christian]

We do use different kind of anti seize too. But this statement was written by a rocket scientist. Had many bolts snap because of Rost but not a single one from crappadappa corrosion. Christian

[@josteinatlejrgensen6962]

I love when you refer to the dektop mechanics. Hope they continue with good advice for you in the future too .

[@waikanaebeach]

Vera and Christian are just wonderful

[@tomasfransson7408]

You must be proud now, having Land Rover Royals to visit you.

[@roydibs44]

You two so good working together, l have Jeep and it so easy work with,it must be so hard to find work on Land Rover.I am so impressed with you both,love your videos and you make me laugh every time making videos,love it

[@davel4471]

Great to see you receive a visit from Simon, his wife and the Stig! Perhaps this is the start of a mutual “Powerful” relationship opportunity for future videos? 😉 keep up the good work guys 🌟

[@stevek3036]

These kind of big jobs only work because it's a team effort - Vera takes care of the important details to make sure re-assembly goes smoothly while Christian takes all the credit for the man-stuff with his big extension

[@grahameroberts8109]

Good as always. Britannica Restorations uses candle wax to loosen bolts. Cheers. 👍🏻🙏🦘

[@jimcrossley8203]

I've just discovered this channel and it's superb. That's a brilliant set up you have and I love your sense of humour. I've just watched 3 episodes one after another and I don't even have a Land Rover.

[@philipbellew9645]

Great to see Simon and the Stig. Your identification of LR design issues and his inventive new products will come together in a whole range of improved and better than genuine parts............

[@TheDaf95xf]

Good evening Vera & Christian 😊 A little late today as I’m back at work after my kidney stone 😫 You made that look easy taking that LR engine out 👍🏻 How cool was that Simon calling in from the U.K. and giving you both Bobby hats 👍🏻 Next week will be a great video revealing the damage 🤔 Have a great week and you mid your fingers Vera 😬 xx

[@Vera_and_Christian]

Hope you are better soon😀🙋‍♀️

[@pauljenks4901]

The banter between you two folk is always enjoyable, and hearing that Vera doesn't know who the Stig was, was very amusing for a motoring enthusiast. Wikipedia states there were 9 international versions of Top Gear in addition to the original, with an audience reach of 350 million.

[@kubamakovec3921]

hi Christian and Věra, you are amazing, I learned many useful things from you and used them on my Disco3. Good luck!!! Jakub (from Czech) 😊

[@tekpic04]

Wow!, LR Time 🇩🇪is the university for repairing Range Rover & Land Rover products.👍👋🇬🇧

[@RickRolling-tc7vb]

Tea and biscuits was traditional thinking food in our Jaguar garage. Every time we snapped a head stud or diagnosed a dead distributor module, put the kettle on and have a chat and a think over a cup of tea. Same with doing tappets on a Merc 280, or spark plugs on a Jensen Interceptor: take a deep breath, down tools, make a cup of tea and recover your compusure and your patience. That being said, I learned to drink tea in glass in Berlin and it is just the best way to drink tea, just a sublime experience. Thanks again for the laughs, the inspiration, and the knowledge. Really enjoying my second vicarious Disco 4 rebuild!

[@habsom1406]

I love these too, they're so cute together, great fun! Always mightily impressed by their technical prowess. Nice to see Simon too! 🙏👍😎

[@alexshapley8331]

Wow! I'm exhausted just watching that... Looking forward to finding out next week what the underlying issue is (other than the fact it is an LR product...). This is a cliffhanger like a detective series!

[@bigdavesdiscovery3world414]

Good on yer mate a good cup of cha (Tea) is worth a thousand prayers. I'll bring you a box of tea sometime this year and I have another goodie for you two too! Great video goes without saying have a good week .

[@akepettersson4847]

I’m not a mechanic , I don’t even drive a Land Rover , I’m a Volvo XC90 owner , but I do enjoy to watch the skills to repair these Land Rover’s. It’s - in a way - cosy to watch a new episode every sunday. And I / we hope that our XC90 will survive our roadtrip to Iceland in august 😬

[@camberwellcarrot420]

I'm loving this series already. Cup of tea will sort all your problems out! ❤

[@paulkay1893]

Nice couple, as you were undoing that exhaust bolt, I think my blood pressure went up.

[@scroungasworkshop4663]

We have just found your channel and love it but it seams odd to us why two Germans love Range Rovers so much. In Australia the joke is if you really want to get there take a Land Rover, but if you want to get home again take a Land Cruiser. You two are a great couple and you make us laugh, I think because we’re very similar. Vera is such a cutie and has a great figure. We also thank you for using English as it must be difficult at times when German is your native language. All the best, Stuart & Leanne, Canberra, Australia 🇦🇺

[@SiCrewe]

Have you ever tried heating a stuck bolt and then melting a candle onto it before attempting to loosen it? Basically, heat the bolt as normal and then dab the candle onto the bolt-head and any exposed threads. The theory, I think, is that the wax can wick into threads, and under the head, acting as a lubricant. Also the wax won't evaporate when it comes into contact with hot parts like a lot of releasing oil does. Seems like one of those things that was probably a good idea 50 years ago but modern lubricants should work better. Changing the brake discs on my Disco' 2, I struggled with various bolts until, eventually, I thought I'd try using a candle. Dunno if it was just a coincidence but the seized bolts I smothered in candle-wax came out much easier than the others. 👍

[@alanottley]

Wow - nice to see Simon and the stig visiting you! Awesome!

Fingers crossed what you find is repairable!! Good to see Simon give you both a visit too. 👍

Thankyou Christian and Vera for producing my Sunday morning entertainment ❤. I finally bit the bullet yesterday and put down a deposit on a Waitimo grey 2016 Discovery 4 Landmark edition and will pick it up at the end of the month, I will start building up my supply of penetrating fluid and copper grease 😀

[@colinfield97]

Brilliant Sunday entertainment as usual. I am always impressed with your knowledge and skills, however what impresses me more is how Vera can overhaul a Discovery and manages to keep that yellow jacket clean! Great to see a UK visitor on your Manor with a registration plate (ST) that originates in Perth Scotland. I eagerly await the outcome of the engine fault. Cheers 🍻

[@crimsonsunshine264]

Chris, honestly mate you have the patience of a saint! Fantastic work you do on these! We’ll have to see long term how the new defender engines go, supposedly they’re very good but time will no doubt tell!

[@johnnyknap]

No snappped bolts, very well! I was watching Mike at Britannia Restorations working on old Defenders the other day. He uses the heat and melting candle wax trick on stuck stuff. Apparently the candle wax soaks in and withstands the heat better. Think it’s on old mechanics trick pre WD 40 . Can’t wait to see what’s gone pop in the engine!

[@NickAtkins-m8y]

Great video as usual. I don't own a LR Discovery (yet), but I do love messing around with cars. Keep up the excellent work and thank you for providing continual enterainment.

You know a series’s that would get you a whole world more followers? If you undertook either a TDV8 or M57 Discovery 3 engine conversion. Feed a solution to all the broken crank folks that want another solution rather than a repaired but still weak crank. There are people who have done these conversions (in the UK) but the knowledge is few and far between and not vlogged/blogged nor generally shared. Please do this! 🙏🏻

Another great video, cannot wait to see what you find once you strip the engine apart, personally after watching another of your engine strip downs I'm going to say spun bearing on the crank (dumb-ass idea of no locators on the bearings) & it's blocked the oil gallery holes

[@Vera_and_Christian]

Locators are not there to prevent spinning🙋‍♀️

[@nickb5391]

@@Vera_and_Christian Agreed, but they do help, I always remember the 50's Ford side valve engine 997cc & 1172cc that had White metal applied direct to the con-rods instead of seperate bearings
