Land Rover has massive leaks after long Africa Trip

Fabian made it back home with his Land Rover Discovery from a long trip down to Africa. We checked out his car to address a misterious coolant leak and found a serious oil leak.

6:04 and that’s one of the reasons why we love you two so much. ❤ No commercials, No sponsors, straight to the point: Land Rover!!!

[@petershepherd6889]

Your knowledge of the discovery is amazing.As a challenge you should try diagnosing a problem and fixing it wearing a blindfold.wouldn't mind betting you could do it.your skills are amazing.

[@cvrfkoh]

If this taught me anything…it’s that I need a lathe And an engine in my kitchen…😂

[@Vera_and_Christian]

Yes absolutely😅👌🙋‍♀️

[@billhanson4921]

you know the engine in the kitchen is standard for bikers........you're lucky its not in the bath!

[@philipmadhatter4006]

Another Sunday morning delight

[@zzhughesd]

Ditto!

[@islandhopperstuart]

Great fault diagnosis as usual, and so glad you're now happy with the Queen.

[@johnnyknap]

Fabian is one lucky guy having you two as friends! Very well.

[@doneB830]

Nice seeing Fabian again, thanks guys.

[@kokoeteukpong8211]

Things to get for my kitchen 1. Lathe 2. Engine. 3. Bandsaw 😊

[@themoshpitt]

Great to see fabian home and safe. Straight to his go to life saver Christian and Vera! Then when you told Vera to get her finger nails off the paint.. Howling 😂. Now I can rest and go watch the starship lift off. Thanks again guys another lovely Sunday morning..

[@jrnmller1551]

All Hail the King, complaining that Vera is not around!! Vera DO NOT leave the King alone, he will mess up!!! Vera will announce in the next episode, That the King has left the building!! Happy to see the Queen back, thanks for the entertainment, makes my sunday mornings enjoyable!

[@zzhughesd]

Christian and the Queen!!!!!! Learnt loads again. Thanks LR time.

[@charlieodonnell9129]

Good morning folks another great video happy Sunday

[@eyeswideopen7450]

Your explanation on the how and why of this problem is excellent.

[@Radar-vd6tf]

Yep! That’s started my day the correct way! Always feel positive after a dose of LR Time👌

[@BundyToo]

Can't believe I'm all excited now waiting for an episode of happy Christian and the Queen, yet I still don't own a Land Rover.

[@andyday9911]

Absolute gem on a Sunday morning with the one liners and the banter, keep up the fantastic work.

[@David-lb4te]

Looking forward to seeing the next video on the steering joints. Good work C&V (and Fabian).

[@dani18sg]

Once or twice per week I find myself looking for a L322 tdv8 in mobile, it's good that after I watch your vídeos this need of a LR in my life goes away😂

[@iantribe1166]

And once again another fantastic video I love seeing your diagnostics and how you track down the fault it was just perfect. Have a good Sunday both of you❤

[@daves.7040]

Let’s go Vera and Christian!

[@jonathanbiggar4973]

Well done Christian and Vera great content, I have a idea send the rebuilt engine to Australia and the community will find you a doner body and then you can go on all the big outback adventures with a decent engine, older discos with sad engines are fairly easy to find, just a idea for you . Have a great day

[@Anne6621]

ok this time I am ready for this episode , I had my coffee already that way I avoid coffee spray all over my computer !! , I just love these guys , Vera and Christian are the kind of kids I would adopt in a heart beat

[@CharlesTimothy-en7to]

My Sunday fix thank you for another informative video. Stay safe you two.

[@BentleyOnABudget-mp8jj]

Come on Christian, we all know Vera is really your Queen! Vera Regina 😅😅

[@NicholasTerry-p8g]

So pleased to see that you got the Range Rover back,another great video guys.Great work shop ,and the ability to utilise it.

[@TheDaf95xf]

Guten Morgen Vera & Christian 😊 Love theses diagnostics videos and good seeing Fabian’s LR 👍🏻 Happy Christian with his Queen 👸back 🤣 take care until next Sunday 🤩 x

[@marcbyers6563]

Happy Sunday Vera and Christian. Great video. Happy return of the Queen.

[@rohanjeewandarage4626]

Thanks for the sharing your knowledge with everyone, 🙏 God bless you and your family ❤

[@Adventures-with-Ty]

Nicely done! You are lucky Fabian’s is the 2.7 engine. GEN2 EGRs are a nightmare. Body off job! Have a great Sunday. Ty

[@bigdavesdiscovery3world414]

What a great Sunday video full of entertaining content.... I'm a bit late watching it because I'm looking for a new car! Christian do you remember seeing my A5 not so long ago ? Well the 7 S Tronic gearbox failed last Sunday and the repair costs were way beyond what I paid for the car ..... It's gone to Poli land or Rumania to be repaired and sold on...😂

[@ccconlan2670]

Hi christian and vera.what a great video.the only way to spend Sunday mornings.fabian is so lucky to have you guys as friends.image what landrover would charge for those jobs.😊😊😊

[@petershepherd6889]

Your knowledge is phenomenal on the discovery. As a challenge try diagnosing and fixing a problem wearing a blindfold.wouldnt mind betting you would succeed. I have the same test kit, luckily have not had to use it yet. Keep the videos coming, they make my sunday.👍

[@crazydetailss]

You both guys have blown headgaskets, time for a rebuild :)

[@vincentcorreia5714]

Wunderbar!!! I would love to have a breakdown of his costs on his trip

[@chibinwosu5261]

21:56 “ Take your fingernails off my paint! “ 😂 Funny ! 😂😂

[@henryfoster3212]

Good morning LR Time like last week video it was a lot of good information thank you

[@Mikie1959]

I just Love watching you guys you are so entertaining.

[@tommo4233]

Okayy good. So, you have gen 2 engine for Jag F-pace, XF x260 or XJ x351 facelift maybe🤭. Still I can't wait for the Jaguar content 👍 . And, what do you say about the new inline 6 diesel that facelifted F-pace is using?

[@Discovery_Dad]

Glad you've got your Queen back, but probably not as glad as Fabian is to have you guys as mechanics!! 😉 Keep up the good work! I have the new Discovery (facelifted, so what you would have seen in the showroom) and it's a lovely thing... would give the Queen a run for her money and a huge improvement over the initial D5's I think. Land Rover's best kept secret in the current range.

[@patrickconnolly768]

You need to check your torque spanner, on the passenger side blank of plate you set the one nut to clonk clonk and the other nut to click click. Just saying!. Another great video.

[@davidfuters7152]

Morning guys 👍👍👍👍

[@davidjohnson4626]

So good to see Fabian home safely. Did he make videos of his adventures?

[@CraigFrench-ry2gz]

Thank you for a great video.

[@bobrose7900]

Sherlock Holmes hat on today, glad to see the Queen fixed and well done Landrover again. I was picked up on saying that last week, but my brand new Triumph bike doesn't get the same backup in spite of emails and calls... and a lot of other automotive companies dodge their responsibilities regarding warranty and backup but Landrover always seem to be the one to get knocked... Enjoyed the video immensely though, and those blanks for the pipes were a work of art!

[@Vera_and_Christian]

Thanks. LR came through here which was nice. Christian

[@Peter-xm6ve]

Spot on you two…

[@euro4by4hr78]

Always liked Disco 3 and 4, never had balls to bite the bullet. Was in a market for a older 4x4 after selling Terrano 2 for rust issues....ended up with Rexton gen2, 2.7 Mercedes mated to a 5g tronic automatic, Borg warner TC. Zero leaks, zero mechanical problems and quite capable.

[@stevetheangle]

Awesome, thank you...

[@moobaz8675]

My wife has this daft idea about extending the house into my workshop! 😩 At least my Myford lathe will become a feature in it if she does...😂

[@jasonwojcikLR130]

just treated myself to a 2015 L405 autobiography in black, will have to call it the black prince 😂

[@Vera_and_Christian]

Make sure to check the knuckles.🫣😅👍🙋‍♀️

[@Adrian_Nel]

I think that Land Rover's procedure for designing a new vehicle includes a mandatory refresher course on Where's Wally for all their engineers. Probably because they want to make things "interesting" for a certain pair of lovely Germans...

[@mdshovel]

OMG rate is up again as Fabian returns 😁

[@norb0254]

Looking forward to the indepth video ,by the sounds of it LandRover will come out well,,,,,,You threw me in the video with the first vacumn fill as i initally thought you where doing the vacumn to test for the leak...So now i have a weeks wait for the next one

[@davidjones5416]

I have a Sykes Pickavant rad tester I would start testing the rad cap first great episode

[@johnwillis9534]

Sounds to me like jaguar xj is coming soon?

[@MrMagnat007]

OK So we have a Queen, A Prince.... Now we need a NEW KING ! I already think the Mercedes B Class is the Court Jester.

[@Vera_and_Christian]

The king is my Disco 3😅and the Princess was our very first Disco 4. 🙋‍♀️

[@robertmoss279]

Never ever take your woman to a New car showroom, if she is happy with what she has leave her at home 👍🏻 Only kidding Vera 🤣

[@planespeaking]

Sunday morning staple, thank you. I had Mercedes e class diesel oil cooler leak (The oil cooler is in the middle of the V so it takes a couple of days to change but as soon as I changed the PCV valve, it stopped. The crank case was over-pressured.

[@geordieyoshi]

I suspect the Knuckle repair from LR will be perfect and to the book, they will know about this channel and would be on their best behaviour (you would hope)😮

[@Vera_and_Christian]

No they do not know about us.👍🙋‍♀️

[@struanrobertson3417]

The coolest car you could put your spare engine in would be a Citreon C6. Go on it would be great 😊.

[@MrRedfreds]

The sniff test, 👍 no exhaust gas detected.

[@milabaigar]

Cristiana don’t you have breakers yards we’re you can buy used parts in Germany? AlwYs look forward to Sunday’s with you and Vera you have a English sense of humour 🤣😂🤣😂👍

[@Doktorvollcrass]

Danke für die perfekte Fehlersuche. Hilft einen für die Zukunft sehr 😊 freue mich schon auf den Jaguar XJ 😉 Fahre selbst einen XFs Sportbrake... Aufpassen mit den Steuergeräten beim Jaguar. 😊 die können sehr zickig sein...

Could you produce a flow chart of your procedure please, i got lost after about five minutes.

[@frednetherlands887]

Some people have massive leaks after an Amsterdam trip.... Schönen Sonntag...

[@paulpaulzadeh6172]

Hmmm . Not so reliable car,why is that ??

[@Cliffordrussellpsyc]

So...Vera wants a new truck cause the queen is back....and you will be happy to know that I GOT A OEM READER. Yeah I got from ebay...and also I have bought a remote start with push button start and cellphone start so ,on those cold moments when I get up I can just start my truck with my phone.....and I cleared all faults only 1 came back from the dealership NOT KNOWING HOW TO PROPERLY FILL THE TRANSMISSION. So now I'll have to do everything thing over including watching your videos for the correct adaptations

[@bjarnieinarsson3472]

I must mention the big elephant in the living room.. what a huge pile of junk these car are! It's border line usable. And only in city owning garage. (ps. I live in Iceland and it's mostly tough condition all year around. I own 1993 Toyota LandCruiser 80 diesel, tripple locket 35" tires and around 300k km on odo. The only repairs for past 20 years is brake calibers, change of brake lines rear. I will change timing belt this winter and fix some leaking in steering machine, that's all)

[@jonathanbiggar4973]

I think you’re not going to like all the old episodes, or any future episodes, LR time is how to fix shit and get a laugh at the same time.

[@toyotatim2521]

I have a 1999 LC 95 with 230K km and only things I've replaced are brakes, both lower ball joints as a precaution and an inner track rod ball joint. I do timing belt every few years as it's only £30 and 20 minutes work

[@zzhughesd]

Chinese pump fun. We’ve all been there. Something to do with the 85% saving one time use thing. I’m terrible for it. Myself.

Enjoy watching u guys to the point I need another d3 in my life i have a discovery sport but it's not the same lol 😆

[@ColinLennard]

I assume that Land Rover offered you a "curtesy car" most drivers would have accepted one (even one with better spec). Why didn't you take one? Not knowing your family tree. Is Fabian your son? As per normal I enjoyed the content. Thank you.

[@AWROAL]

Oh No you gave the EGR bolts different torques! The first got ‘clunk clunk’ the second ‘click click’ surely that’s wrong on so many levels?

[@grahamjesson5464]

Great when an unnecessary part causes problems, I hate egr's, no fire needs dirty air.

[@michaeldallimore8590]

How many km on Fabiens D4? In the old days (1970's) the aviation forma gasket is all we had. The silicon stuff had not been invented. I still use the aviation gasket stuff all the time on my vintage car (1929) because its possible to easily get components apart again unlike the silicon sealant where its a real battle. I will need to check for oil in the V of my engine now you have pointed that out.

I have the same or at least a similar Chinese "Coolant Pressure Testing-Kit". Typically, these screw-on adapters are not completely tight themselves and thus cause a pressure loss themselves ... 😤

Hi guys Enjoyed the video , from a Toyota owner I could not cope with the expense of the constant repairs required to run one of these vehicles , not even the cost just the down time and no confidence in making it home from your journey , you both have a big heart , I love all your content and thanks for making it Regards Davy 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇹🇭 A hot 32 degrees here in Thailand 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

I’m surprised it made it to the end of the first day let alone a trip through Africa. PS: I’ve owned a discovery and a Range Rover plus defender 90’s and 110’s over the years , the one thing they have in common is unreliability especially the Range Rover.
