Range Rover L405 Big Service including 8HP Transmission / S5-Ep3

In this episode we give our new to us 2015 Range Rover L405 TDV8 a full fluid service. We change differential oil, automatic gearbox 8HP oil, engine oil and do other various service tasks like diesel filter, cabin filter and air filter change. We do not cover the transfer case in this video but it it the same as on the LR4 and LR3 and you find many other videos on our channel about it.
We also talk about the service intervall from Land Rover.
We are not liable for any harm you do to your car, your engine, your surroundings or yourself. Use the information given in this video at your own risk.

Before coming across LR Time, I would never have thought that a Sunday morning highlight would be a coffee whilst watching a German engineer with his lovely smiley wife, forensically and precisely disassemble and rebuild a British car... Fun and fascinating to watch each week, thanks.

[@Vera_and_Christian]

Thanks.

[@erikjohannesen4883]

Just came across your channel! I think this is one of the greatest DIY channels on youtube. Nice germans, showing how it’s possible to live with these great but whimsical cars! Love it! Unfortunately you bought the wrong Mercedes, You should have gotten a V6 diesel OM642, as it is cheap now and compares to the TDV6. Or ever the Audi V6 that is even worse! Keep up the good work! Cheers!

[@JLo1960]

Land Rover should make you two instructors for their mechanics tech update days. Great video as always.

[@smorris12]

As a veteran of several autobox oil changes, getting everything within several square miles covered in oil is perfectly normal.

[@Vera_and_Christian]

Ok, thanks. I do agree. 50% work, 50% cleaning. Christian

[@rafflesnh]

@@Vera_and_Christian Except on a Toyota which never needs oil changes! ;-)

[@DiscoGruffalo]

I spent 2 years doing at least 2 autobox oil changes a week on an inferior 4x4 brand. Hot red shower every time as there was no drain. Add a rear diff oil change also with no drain.

Congratulations!

[@johnnyknap]

Must give you a nice warm feeling knowing that all your fluids are changed, especially up your arm! What a nice chap Edgar is, such a kind gesture. He must really like Grenadiers to buy two.

[@Vera_and_Christian]

He is a software engineer. Everything he does has logical reasons. His plan to fix the wrong configuration worked out and now he´s got the better vehicle for less money. Well done in my opinion. Christian

[@stuarth43]

LIKE THE guy from Harry's farm on here, he buys every 4x4 that comes on the market, us poor people buy used I am also having issues with my 2010 tdv6, windows n doors on the passengers side no communication, no volts at window power socket

[@johnnyknap]

Edgar did a great thing! The way Vera and Christian are going they already have more Land Rovers than Harry’s Garage! Not as many Lambos though @@Vera_and_Christian

[@tonysmith3182]

Perfect, my favourite Sunday morning viewing, thanks to you both.

I don’t even like Land Rovers, but I love watching you every Sunday. Christian you are very knowledgeable and Vera Is cute as a button! 😂

[@cjhickspe1399]

This channel inspired me to finally open the hood on my wife's LR4 Mall Crawler (and it was complaining about a low coolant level).

[@Vera_and_Christian]

Good job but there is no way back now. Same as when you used the washing machine for the first time... Christian

[@davidtaylor3013]

Christian......don't forget to loosen off your filler plug 1st before removing the drain plug. Minutes later...Vera....did you loosen the filler plug 1st ??? Christian .....no 😂😂😂😂 Vera is clearly the brains in this operation. ❤❤

Nice present from Edgar, thanks Edgar we will all learn something from this lovely tool.

[@Vera_and_Christian]

Yes. Very nice of him. Thanks. Christian

[@andrewmarkland9411]

Classic LR Time episode. You two are getting good at this…

[@robholland1937]

I invested in a Draper 10L vacuum pump for oil changes via the tube next to the oil filler cap. Works a treat for intermediate oil changes 😊

[@adrianward362]

My weekend is incomplete without you guys!

[@-DC-]

As a long term Hilux owner i don't think this is the vehicle for me 😂😂, Brilliant channel never stop making the best LR content 💪

[@Vera_and_Christian]

That thing is even for Discovery driver too much. Christian

[@brianiswrong]

Vera is spot on at 7:30 It's the lifetime of the oil (unknown due to many unknown factors when the oil was first added to the component) So you need some comman sense and expect ' filled for life" to be 2,3,4 or 5 years Change immediately when you take ownership of a used land rover, and change again depending on how and were you drive it.

[@Vera_and_Christian]

👌👍🙋‍♀️

[@Vera_and_Christian]

Thanks!

[@davidfuters7152]

Have you guys ever thought about doing an old Landrover , Series 1 , Disco 1 or 2 ? There is a young girl whose channel is Land Rover Sophie who has . Believe it or not when she started on her first she was a secretary at her local undertaker She impressed her local Aston Martin dealership so much with her skills they have given her a job , she is doing an apprenticeship with them What she has taught herself is on another level , your son would be impressed with her metalwork skills as well Have a great week 👍👍👍

[@Vera_and_Christian]

Not sure what we do next. We have to finish the queen and then decide which one we sell. I got a full time job and whatever we do needs to fit my time budget. Christian

We thought about a Berlingo for Robin. Christian

[@frednetherlands887]

@@Vera_and_Christian it is the most useful car. Easy to maintain, easy to get parts. It can do everything. It is ugly and not comfortable. But regardless of the latter, like a human being with these characteristics, it can still be loved.

This member of the dutch fanclub has a load of old subjects off the queen: original RR 1e freelander and a 110 and 90

Very entertaining - Well done Christian and Vera.

[@DavidWaters-nz2ud]

Great episode!

[@mdharrisuiuc]

Your videos got me looking at LRs, and I ended up with a 300tdi D1 in my driveway. One thing that I really appreciate about it, is that so far literally everything can be taken out with just hand tools. I've also had a number of Toyotas, and while they don't frequently require work, when they do you need some special tool, or you have to modify your tools, in order to work on them. It's like LR knew their vehicles were going to need to be worked on, so they designed them for maintenance rather than assembly. It's wonderful.

[@glynbayliss5470]

Great stand up routine Christian and Vera. Henning Wehn has finally got competition. Although I only have a VW Tiguan, I feel fully prepared for future Range Rover ownership, apart from the hoist on my driveway that is. Best Wishes

Even though I only own one of the Queen's lowly subjects (D3) I am really enjoying this series of videos of the Queen and how you are bringing her up to standard. What a mess it makes with the oil change why don't they just have drain plugs on the bottom where they belong! There wasn't an out take so the test drive must have gone well😊I also use your app for recording all the 'spendies' and maintenance carried out it's a great way to see where the kid's inheritance is going 😂. See you next week.

Just did the front, rear differential oils and the transfer case on my L494 last week. The transfer case seems to have cured the judder I was getting when pulling away with steering lock. I just did the quick way with the fuel filter and did not remove the middle plastic trim and brace then stuffed around the fuel filter with blue roll. A bit more messy but it was too cold that day. Still trying to find my handbrake issue though so I have something to keep me busy at least. 🤷🏻‍♂️😂

[@themarinerkommer4371]

i found this video very very interesting i like how you research to find good service recommendations and it makes me wanna tackle my own servicing on a range rover if i had one, i own a old Series IIa SWB landrover and i do all my own work and rebuilt the engine back in 2012 very easy to do compared to the more technical 2.7l diesel in the disco, my mothers toyota corolla is barely near 100,000km and im wanting to service the trans fluid even though the dealer said oh nah we dont service that its filled for life garbage and im like nah i dont think so... the same went with some Briggs & Stratton mower engines filled for life and it was not its just a gimmick so lazy Americans didint have to drain and refill the oil on them. but i think your videos give landrover and other owners the confidence to do their own work if they know a few things about engines etc.

My 'new to me' 2001 Range Rover P38 Bordeaux is delivered tomorrow morning. And you think YOU have problems? 😂😂😂😂 But that sump drain 'dribble' was hilarious. Been there and got the oily T Shirt !
