One could mistake this channel being about Land Rover, but it's actually the biggest Toyota advertisement channel.

Very entertaining and technical video. Thanks for sharing. From watching these videos, owning an LR4 is trouble. One could easily end up bankrupt if taken to a dealer for service. The amount of time, effort, and parts removed just to change an oil pump is insane.

[@rotax636nut5]

You guys are great, there's nothing else like you on YT, the fact that German folk all seem to speak at least some or often very good English is amazing to me compared to how many English folk speak German, you put us all to shame! I love the non stop back and forth humour between Christian and Vera, combined with the high level of technical competence regarding the maintenance and repair matters on the cars and all the great advice you give in a way that's easy to follow and understand, mind you, I'm still hoping for that BR Time episode, heh heh, and with the cheeky humour in this episode I'm more hopeful than ever! Keep up the great work and drive safely friends 🤪

[@Coordinator61]

I work 30 y plus in Germany and can tell you most Germans do not speak English at all. Young people more then the older generation.

[@LucozadeClw]

Rotax 636nut. HERE! HERE! Totally agree with Rotax 636nut

[@alanadair2367]

The proof that your videos are excellent myself and others that don’t own a Discovery tune in every week thanks guys for all your hard work you put into them 👍

[@Taz6688]

Lot to be said for sticking with a make and knowing many of the faults and fixes, Christian really knows his stuff, top work, he seems to work better with a strict supervisor.

[@Bimmly]

Quote of the week, "there are two places where you need to feel your way...."😂😂😂

[@martinainguis1]

Best repair workshop ever I think JLR should really copy your work ethics and your way of doing things

[@philhewitt5163]

Thank god you remembered to remove the socket under the belt !! I was also worried no oil was in the engine as it wasn’t on the video. Your content is brilliant, I love watching your weekly videos, I don’t even own a Landrover but watch every video. Keep up the good work.

[@Vera_and_Christian]

You don‘t have to drain the oil🙋‍♀️

[@michaeldallimore8590]

Had no idea the oil pump replacement was so complex. Thanks for another educational video.

[@hudsongary1]

Absolutely love your videos..Always wanted a Discovery but i haven't got the technical ability you guys have...Keep up the great work and Humor.. A big thumbs up from Liverpool.

[@andrewcrebbin6874]

Thank you Dr Vera & Dr Christian. Fantastic, as always.

[@philipway4443]

Hi guys, had no idea the oil pump replacement was so complex. well done to you both great video.

[@samrodian919]

Yes I'd hate to find out what a German Land Rover stealer would charge for supplying and fitting an oil pump on a Disco 4

[@johnwillett4086]

What a video ! Hats off to you guys, that was a marathon and a half !

[@rexringschott]

Wow. What an incredible effort. Well done.

[@ianwheat1577]

A really good guide on what's involved and just brilliant how you too have a good time with your banter and cheeky remarks

[@redtim3690]

Excellent work as always - well done Christian and Vera. Another good reason for owning a Discovery 3.

[@markdunstan8277]

Brilliant episode as always. And Vera is really a good comedian Had a good laugh Many thanks

[@martin-f5482]

Many thanks for this video, very informativ and helpful. And of course many thanks for inspecting my LR3 for the oil pump!

[@samrodian919]

Great episode all of you! Big old job to do the oil pump on the D4 but definitely worth doing it if you don't want a broken crankshaft down the road. Well done Christian that was very informative. I really like those hose clamp pliers, they are a very good design. I was shouting at the screen saying had you removed the small socket out from holding the timing belt to the crankshaft toothed wheel Christian lol. Vera, Land Rover only call it a generator because it seems all these workshop manuals have been designed for the American market. In the US they call the alternator a generator still. In the UK a generator produces DC current, and an alternator produces AC current. I have a downloaded workshop manual for my 2006 supercharged 4.2 Range Rover L322 and that too is all in Yank speak lol generator, fender, rocker panel. And no doubt more! Would hate to have a Disco4 with all that work just to get the fan shroud off lol

[@sarnieken]

Christian's words of wisdom....'There are two occasions in life where you have to work by feel.....' :-)

[@mrbrown377]

Perfect timing, my new pump has just been delivered! Great videos every week thanks guys 👍

[@darrelldavison3876]

Again you guys do it so well ! Great job just love your t,shirt 😉 Vera's comments just keep you on your game , well done cheers, Sundays wouldn't be the same without LR Time !

[@nature10879]

No wonder why people neglect these things. To buy one of these you have to understand what you are getting into, Nice vlogs and rovers are always cool

[@MegaSkypes]

Quality workmanship and entertainment always makes me happy watching you 2 making accomplishments that ensure the LandRover collection is beautiful 🤩

[@milandjukic3589]

Christian and Vera fantastic entertainment and blog just keep them coming))))))) 😂🇬🇧❤️

Thanks for doing all of this! You've managed to help me confirm, that I'm paying someone to do it if I ever need to!

[@jeffreywilkinson2679]

Dear Vera & Christian. You are a “Tower of Strength.!” What an accomplishment. Thank you and well done. Best wishes to all.

[@TheDaf95xf]

Good evening Vera & Christian 😀 That was absolutely fantastic with the best humour so far on a LRT video 🤣 For Vera 😘 x🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@grahameroberts8109]

I was talking to the vid to tell you to take out ‘Steve’s secret bolt’! I’m glad you did. Well done again to all the mechanics on duty. A great team effort. I’ll stick with my D2 V8 thanks. Lol. 👍🏻🙏🦘

[@KangoV]

Awesome video as always. "Two times in life you need to go by feel... in the bathroom and working on a Land Rover". That gave me a giggle :)

[@nigeljaggard6038]

Great content again Christian and Vera watching these video's does make me rather nervous about my own Diccovery 3 though .

[@timothyhargreaves5273]

Great Video and very funny. Well done tackling these jobs at home. 👍👍

So I just got home from a great day out with you guys and a load of other great new friends! Now I'm enjoying another great video done by the pro's super job I'm looking forward to next weeks vid!

There are two ocassion in life where you have to work by feel....... ABSOLUTELY TRUE. Now I,m changing both turbos on LR4 without body lift....

It's easier on a RHD, there is more room. 🙋‍♀️Vera

[@deniscudahy4549]

Yet another great video,can’t wait till next Sunday 👍👍👍

[@ianwheat1577]

Good job done very interesting to see how difficult these are to work on

[@mortensvendsen5667]

Greetings from Norway🇧🇻 Christian should really concider being a full time stand-up comedian. Thank you for entertaining content. Love the german engineering.

[@erwinamante7264]

I’m always look forward to watch your video every Sunday. You have more landrover owners coming. I’m predicting maybe in a few years you guys will have an official garage for landrover patrons in Germany

[@graham5649]

Wow what a lot of work, Great video

[@ursulawagner7666]

So impressiv, many thanks

[@nelsyoung833]

Good job. Like Vera has said, this job will add more life on the engine as the oil pump was replaced at the right time before catastrophic engine failure occurs.

[@Muppet_Interfector]

Vera, poor Christian. Not only does he have to work by feel but then he has to tell when it is coming!

[@russellchilton5631]

Hi my 4x4 is a 1988 Toyota BJ70. No electronics or air bags etc, so saves a lot of problems that the Discovery has. Really enjoy your barter and instructions that applies to a certain extent to my Toyota BJ70 I am a New Zealander just across the ditch from Australia.

[@williamprobert5124]

Great video Landrover Enginering dept where smoking crack the day they designed it

[@scotspie501douglas7]

love your videos so so much and your knowledge and your ramp keep it up

[@WaldosWorld]

I'm changing the oil pump on my Range Rover (2011 with the 5.0 petrol V8) and it makes your Disco 4 TDV6 oil pump look easy. It's an engine-out job on the Range Rover 🥴 Those hose clamp pliers look pretty handy, so I just ordered a set 👍

[@Vera_and_Christian]

Hope this works out. I don’t want to touch an oil pump for a while. 👍 Christian

[@WaldosWorld]

@@Vera_and_Christian Thanks! I don't blame you! 😂

[@freespeech2261]

Another great video and a lot of hard work. Keep up the good work.

I usually swear a lot when working on LR’s but no bad words from you 😊. Excellent work.

[@eddieMurphy11111]

so sorry i nearly missed this as on Sundays evenings i am busy reading the radio amateur news but then i saw it today those hose clamps do really work i have some and yes i liked the video thank you

[@davidwaldie6227]

Your videos really challenge the stereotype that Germans don't have a sense of humour. Love em 👍

[@bobrose7900]

Not a raincoat - overalls! And nitrile gloves... Phew! what a job, I'm exhausted just watching. For such a short engine it's so cramped. Thoroughly enjoyable viewing, well done!

[@jonfawcett8162]

I love this channel and I don’t even own a Land Rover! I’m addicted! Christian and Vera are so entertaining and I love the humour. They are both so knowledgeable and if I ever decided to sell my Toyota and buy a Land Rover I would buy some tools for the first time and seek advice from this lovely couple! PS I own a Hyundai 😂

[@Scooopdog]

Wow that looked a pain in the arse well done. 😮I’d love to drive my LR3 with 350k to Germany youse guys would get years of content from my truck. 😅😅😅😅love the channel and cannot wait till next Sunday. ❤

[@tunnel7]

You 2 are brilliant Range Rover mechanics, just imagine what life with a Toyota would be like You would have nothing to film 🤣🤣🤣loved it thanks guys. The owner is looking on thinking this is never going to go back together and work again bless him.

[@jasonsimpkin8621]

Amazing work

[@tyronemessiah4479]

Thank you guys, for another amazing workshop tutorial. You helped me to decide - I will wait for my body off job to change mine. I’m planning on a complete engine rebuild so it’s on the list of things to replace once the engine is out. All the best. Ty

[@richardwilliams8667]

Body off you still need to remove the radiator cowl so I don’t know what would change only doing the rear timing belt is easier.

[@Vera_and_Christian]

That is great Tyrone👍💪🙋‍♀️Vera

[@DiscoGruffalo]

Another entertaining and informative video. Danke von einem entflohenen Inselaffen in Frankreich.

[@davidfuters7152]

Morning both , hope you’ve had a good week

[@scottmcquaide878]

Just bought a D4! Might send it back for a D3 now I’ve watched this 😂😂. Great video guys. Camera is on order to work out which pump is in the car before I start spilling oil and coolant all over my new drive too! 😅 Thanks for the video.

[@simonp9075]

Great Video as ever funny and very interesting. Keep up the great work both of you I love this channel.

[@Treeburnify]

It wouldn’t be a Discovery without an oil pump issue. Even the Discovery 2 had issues when Land Rover forgot to use threadlock on the oil pump sprocket bolt. When Land Rover fixed mine many years ago, they managed to strip the threads on the sump bolts and tried to charge me to re-tap them until I pointed out it wasn’t my responsibility if they break something else while doing a repair. It was after that I started doing my own repairs as the D2 was out of warranty shortly after. Love this channel.

[@Vera_and_Christian]

💪That is the only way to go. 👍🙋‍♀️Vera

Time for new merchandise, an LRTime Poncho.🤣

[@toyotatim2521]

Another great video for us Toyota drivers to watch with a coffee on a wet Sunday. If it's any consolation it looks nearly as complicated to change my 1999 Whatcruiser oil pump given the fact I'd have to remove the sump. I have no idea what the oil pressure is anyway so thankfully I'll never have to do it until the engine goes bang. 😉

[@Vera_and_Christian]

Yes, you got some more 750 thousand miles to go until then. Christian

[@diesdasananass]

Sehr schön detailliertes Video.😀Da hat Reiner ja des gleiche Geburtsjahr wie ich. 😁😉 Ja, manchmal kann es recht Nützlich sein ein gutes Langzeit Gedächtnis wie Vera zu haben. 🥰😘

[@jamest5149]

Note the original coolant and boost and inlet hoses have a mark for alignment on their spigots and for the hose clamp alignment so you can get on them and they don’t rub on something else 👍

[@charlieodonnell9129]

Good morning folks will enjoy the video 👍👍💯💯👍

Good Job thanks for video

[@HeinerStorch]

With your open-air workshop, I am so glad to see the sun. If I would buy a Discovery 3 or 4 in a weak moment, I guess, I would pay you a visit to help me on repairs, before the vehicle drives me crazy.

[@Vera_and_Christian]

😅👍Yeah, we get lots and lots and lots of offers to repair other Discos. 🙋‍♀️Vera

[@HeinerStorch]

@@Vera_and_Christian That's one of the advantages, when driving Series, Defenders and Discoverys. You get in touch with "brothers in mind", you would never meet in any other way. Good luck. Heinz

You should sell copies of your special tools. Another great job and video by both of you.

[@Vera_and_Christian]

Most drawings are offered to our Patrons. We would love to make the tools, but it's too time consuming right now. 🙋‍♀️Vera

[@moloono1]

As a Toyota owner, I don’t know what any of these tools are 😂 Joking! I love the content.

[@Vera_and_Christian]

The flexi thing of the ratchet was a cardan joint 😂. Non Toyota drivers use this for hard to access bolts. Christian

Interesting spec on this D4 (at least for this Australian). Looks to have a 6 speed (8 speeds had the rotary gear selector) which was never an option here combined with the 3L. The only D4 that had the 6 speed here had a 2.7. And I love having a 3/4" socket set - Can lever the hell out of those tight crank bolts without worrying about breaking the breaker bar or socket

Oh! "Yours never broke" regarding your discovery 4. That's a relief! I was up half the night last night watching your videos, semi-anxiously trying to learn how to work on these overly-technical beasts, as i have a 2011 d4 sdv6. With 212k kms on it. I do have that knocking sound on a cold start, but only lasts 2-2.5 secs max. Love the videos guys!
