LR Discovery Sport Dismantle And Repair Knocking Big End Bearing

[@davidhatton4829]

Chris blows me away with his talent, phenomenal mechanical engineer.

[@toddlerj102]

I agree with your point an placed the 101st(hundred an first) thumbs up.

[@jonjones1290]

Awesome, brilliant content. Investigate, assess, repair

[@adem-Savs]

Got to agree, you both compliment each other. I used to work in an accident repair workshop and Chris is an outstanding guy, there is nothing he cannot do. His attention to detail and skill in mechanics, bodywork, welding is outstanding. I am glad he is not working for some garage, but working as co-owner. Rob deals with the side of the business that Chris doesnt liike. Batman and ROBin.....

What a great surprise to hear Chris talking us through what he was doing. He’s a natural and should really do some more on camera 👍🏼👌🏼

BRILLIANT! Chris has come along way from not wanting to be filmed to doing his own video!! Cant believe it. Cracking video lads as always. 👍👍👍❤️

[@Hassan123H]

As someone who has watched almost every video on this channel I have to say this is possibly the best yet. Really enjoyed hearing Chris explain it.

Only recently started speaking on my own channel so i know how Chris feels talking to the camera, great video guys thanks.

Chris, watching you working remembers me my grandad, he was a mechanic and i grow up helping him and he used to do the same with the pull cord. :) So many memories

Great to see Chris' input. His solo piece gave that 'Next level of detail' I imagine many really appreciated. Also, the conversations that were being picked up towards the end added another dimension. More Chris please - The new Edd China!

Hello from Ireland guys... Jesus well done Chris. A brilliant mechanic. I'm so chuffed that you got it going. It was so exciting to see what's involved with those engines. I was lost half way through lol. I'm happy for you guys.. 😄😄😄

[@steveegginton535]

Chris's level of skills on all aspects of automotive repairs never ceases to amaze me! He must have the patience of a saint to spend all those hours on that bearing! That looked a very complex engine but you guys got to the root of the problem quickly and found a solution albeit temporary. Not a great indictment on the ingenium engine that it is basically toast at only 100k, would expect a modern diesel engine to be capable of at least twice that mileage and then some!

[@simonwall23]

The segment Chris did was great for a change. Such a great idea with the wire 👏

[@matthewcloud112]

Great to see Chris getting more involved the man's a legend.. Brilliant 👏

Chris what an absolute legend The way your brain works astonishes me One of the best mechanics I have seen on KZbin. I spent 20 years as a mechanic and could not get close to Chris‘s thought process in the way that Chris works . And Rob great work on the video editing you also a talented man without your video editing skills we would not be able to see how amazing you both are i’ve only been with you guys a very short time but I have almost watch Lily every single video you’ve made . I support guys with disabilities as I am now a support worker And one of the gentleman that I support that suffers with cerebral palsy he gets so excited when he sees both of you working on cars .

I feel compelled to write this.this has got to be the most interesting, informative and amazing video I have watched this year . Chris should be nominated for a BAFTA award, the way he explained what he was doing, puts the likes of David Attenborough to shame .. From somebody we never saw or heard , to someone who is getting his own slot on thease videos he is Serious! . And it's fantastic to see a man who knows his onions ( and potatoes) , bring an engine that was " knocking " like a Groupie at the stage door of a Roger Whittaker concert, back to life . You 2 are simply amazing, and it shows in the 1700 plus likes to this video. I want more of this , this is the content that stands you head and shoulders above all other car related KZbin channels .

[@georgedaville4662]

What a brilliant video showing fault finding using first principles of engineering and systematic elimination of the issues to find the root cause of the problem. Old fashioned fettling of crank journals by hand! The final explanation of the failure of the turbo due to a blocked dpf is very concerning, since many of these vehicles are driven on short journeys permanently, leading to blocked dpf’s. I know that JLR have a very big warranty issue with these Diesel engines, but not the very scarce petrol version. Chris is a very knowledgable guy and nothing seems to phase him- respect ✊

Excellent tutorial on these JLR engines; I remember 20 years ago being told that the engine was the weak point and it looks like it continues to be. PS thank goodness you cleaned the camera lens, the glare was blinding me! All the best

[@hedydd2]

Isn't this a Ford engine as fitted to a Mondeo of the same age?

[@fraser7744]

@@hedydd2 No its an Ingenium diesel. More than 1.5 million have been made since 2014. Problem with the transverse application up until 2019 was the dpf being a short distance from the engine rather than up close to it as in Jaguar XE and XF for instance. If used for short stop start journeys only with no longer journeys, the dpf cleaning cycle is forced by injecting additional fuel to heat the engine up with resulting oil dilution as the excess goes down the bores. If oil services are not carried out at more frequent intervals, engine wear is the result.

[@Vali.N]

@@fraser7744 so did they fix the issue since 2019? Having a brand new engine going bye bye after just 100k, on such a price tag of a car seems nuts to me. And yes I saw everyone stating oil dilution is a huge problem with jlr disco sports, but you were mentioning “up until 2019” and was wondering if they fixed it from 2020 onwards. Thank you and many thanks to the guys for the video, amazing skills!

Thanks Rob and Chris for the great content of the video. It shows how you both get absorbed in what you are doing. I think Chris would make a good owner for the Discovery .

[@henryv3943]

Brilliant video chaps. So in a nut shell the cause was really the original owner not driving the car on long runs to blast out the DPF which killed the turbo which in turn caused oil starvation to the crank etc. I'm not a mechanic but you guys really explained how the route cause produced the damage. Will be waiting for the next vid. TT4now

These videos keep getting better! I know you don’t get it word perfect, but that’s all part of the charm. Don’t go changing it’s the best thing on my tv. Always good to hear from Chris!

[@chriss9310]

Excellent work guys. Having experience in engines, I'd be fairly confident in saying that you'd be better off stripping, cleaning and re-shelling the engine you have, rather than taking a chance on a second hand unit. My only reservations would be if there's any damage to the bore on the cylinder that had spun the shells from the piston skirt touching, and the integrity of that conrod. The clean up is the biggest thing, because oil ways and galleries can still have lots of bearing material in them, as you were missing two shells. Good luck with the rest of the build. DPFs are the bane of modern diesel engines.
