I checked earlier and thought we weren’t getting an episode today! Sunday wouldn’t have been the same without it…

[@jokerkk511]

Hooray! It’s Vera & Christian! 😊

[@graemevass745]

Awesome job , can't wait to see Vera's face when she drives it again ❤

[@slimdavey100]

World news a man and woman from Germany rebuild a land rover discovery engine Christian who is the engineer and fabricator of many specialised tools is helped by technical officer and perfectionist Vera during the rebuild of the engine many people in an otherwise dull world where educated and entertained by the worlds leading land rover experts tune in again next week to watch and be entertained LR Time is the highlight of Sundays ❤❤

[@Vera_and_Christian]

Thanks.

[@iandickinson5039]

Hooray it’s LR time today❤

[@gazzafloss]

Nice work folks, executed with German precision.

[@cjhickspe1399]

And German humor.

[@philipwayne6149]

This is my dream, to completely rebuild the Lion V6. So easy outside the engine bay. Yes, satisfying clicks as everything is torqued down. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@comedefleurieu315]

bravo really bravo. I would like to see LR engineers and mechanics' comments!

[@Motorcyclefan17]

My two favorite people on Sunday!!!!

[@aston0708]

Dont be fooled dear friends,,, this is much more than master team in action ,, it is the beginning of a veritable cult not unlike top gear or wheeler dealers,,,,,this is good enough to serialised on TV,,,,,, I adore these videos,,, and I dont even OWN a land Rover,,,,, yet ,Gruss Gott

[@michaeldallimore8590]

I never get tired of watching these engine assembly videos. I learn something new each time. Many thanks for the video. BTW blanking an EGR valve is illegal here as well but some people will still do it.

[@andiehyde3714]

Is there any way to disable the valves actuation in the control software? Asking for a friend. 😉

[@MrCynical999]

Fantastic to see it rebuilt, you both deserve a holiday and rest.

[@angelo-212lb]

They already had their US vacation 😂

[@MrCynical999]

Test run! 😂

[@ccconlan2670]

ITS LR TIME😊😊😊😊 such precession and good engineering.vera sounds soooo excited today.its nearly there! Just a few more weeks!!! It should be brillant.enjoy your week folks and I'll see you in the next exciting episode 😊😊😊😊😊

[@cp4512]

I’m sat here on Sunday morning in UK getting almost as excited as you guys that the engine is just about ready to go back in the car!

[@BigDave1965]

Another great video, by the way I work on warranty for a very large automobile company , the replacement for EGR was AdBlue system.......this system is even more unreliable than EGR system for reducing NOX 😂 - what will the designers come up with next ? Maybe a timing belt running in oil 😂😂😂

[@Zer0kbps]

Funny old world, in Germany you have you folks rebuilding Land Rovers and their engines and in the UK we have people rebuilding Land Rovers and swapping their engines out for the Bavarian beasts.

[@any0n378]

Well done guys! The complexity is mind-numbing on that TDV6!

[@eddieMurphy11111]

sorry I am late but I have had my sisters funeral, apart from that i would love to go the Iceland as I maybe could see the Arora its great to see you getting on with that engine and so many here in the UK block of the EGR thanks for the video

[@milandjukic3589]

Christian and Vera fantastic entertainment ❤🇬🇧

[@moreblessingncube6877]

It's LR time again, can't wait to see Vera's expression on her 1st drive

[@the369truth]

Master engine re-builders

[@mikhailbelianinov1877]

Iceland is an excellent choise for a trip with a Land Rover. I've been there once (without a car) 10+ years ago for a hike near Hecla Volcano and also in the place called Kirlingafoel. Iceland is insanely beautiful and those who are used to tents and mountain trailing love it. I'm sure you alreay know all of this. But the roads in the wilerness are really a challenge for any truck. I think the suspension will really suffer from rocky trails. And moving around to reach most wild places will not be fast at all. But it's all really worth the efforts. Good luck in Iceland. And don't miss the summer season - it's really a very short there.

[@TheDaf95xf]

Good evening Vera & Christian from sunny Tenerife 😊 it’s my fault again as I stupidly voted Brexit and I now don’t have mobile roaming free so I have to wait until I get WiFi 😥 Anyway it was a fantastic video seeing the heart ❤️ of the lovely Vera’s LR being put back together with the finest German surgeon Christian that knows nothing about Toyotas lol 😆 As always a big kiss for Vera 😘 x

[@Vera_and_Christian]

Thanks.

[@user-yp7ru8pu1e]

Hello. your videos are the best about this engine, inspire them i will complete my engine after couple days . i hope i will done all correct. thanks you for instructions and suggestions . From Latvia. :)

[@mrnathc]

In Christian and Vera we trust👍

[@bobby3378]

I was getting worried for a while when I checked this morning for this video and it wasn't there just yet .... I nearly had a panic attack Another great video. I don't think Christian thinks he married the wrong girl although he probably didn't realise on your wedding day how important Vera would be in his future engineering endeavours. What a great team. Looking forward to seeing the Disco 3 on the road again.

[@glenndarragh4417]

I'm slightly concerned Christian - when you were putting the cam belt on the right hand side ( looking from the front of the engine )sprocket you said to rotate the sprocket counter clockwise but I'm sure yo turned it clockwise ? I love you and Vera, I watch every episode and your engineering ability is amazing - no one would take the level of care and attention to detail you guys do. I don't own a Landrover but I love your channel anyway.

[@Andy-lw5xk]

i saw that, thought the same, but then later it all lined up

[@Vera_and_Christian]

I did it right but said it wrong. The pullys need to be turned CW. Christian

[@johnshaw4140]

Well done Vera , another video where you didn't strangle Christian , good job

[@robintaylor6159]

Another amazing job well done ….

[@GOLTURBO555]

I deleted both EGR valves, did a remap to get rid of the fault, then at TUV, remotely I activate it to "work".... No problem at all, no clogged, no hot air in the intake... Work just nice

[@Vera_and_Christian]

We know, but as our videos are on youtube, we just can't do it. Here in Germany, you do have watch your back unfortunately. 🙋‍♀️

[@mrt864]

Excellent work yet again 👏

[@stephenmcintosh93]

I have a nice bucket for all the bits left over after i think i've built everything correctly. I'm willing to bet you don't have one of these buckets. Nice work, very meticulous, and very funny. 🤩

[@Colinpark]

Nice work as always. Also a nice Sunday refuge from the world's woes for a wee bit. Vera now you know what to buy him for Christmas, a new set of Drill bits and organizer for them.

[@AllenManor]

"That's not an ugga-dugga, that's maybe an "oogie-doogie", I laughed out-loud at that one...

[@jezpayne3245]

Fabulous! I can’t wait for it all to go back together & it starts for the first time.

[@leejordanful]

Finally finished! Can’t wait to hear it start for the first time.

[@-Enginerd]

Vera: “Please don’t, that would be the end” Christian: “It would not be the end of mankind” Hahaha, banter like this is why I watch you guys even though I have no intention of rebuilding a Land Rover!

[@caryknapton7233]

Lovely job Christian & Vera...that Disco 3 will be good for another 17 years....

[@dn0682]

Great work. Perfect results. Well done. ❤

[@DavidHallworth]

Another fantastic video guys 😊 I’ve just finished doing the timing chains on my 5.0 Supercharged L322 this week. It’s nice to know I’m not alone in tinkering with my cars at the weekends! Keep up the good work!

[@Richie-C]

Super work as always

[@gregmoreland1070]

Hi Guy’s, l love your KZbin channel and watch it every weekend. Your approach to repairs and maintenance are very refreshing. I just need to correct your description of egr function. The exhaust gas is not recycled to burn but as inert gas to lower the heat of combustion and reduce NOx. This comment is not as a jibe, I really enjoy your work. Hi from us in Australia

[@grahamwest1079]

Excellent its back together. Great effort

[@tonyallen1953]

Another Amazing watch guys.

[@desmcdermott6090]

Excellent work. Looking forward to hearing the Disco running again.

[@paulwalker427]

Lovely work

[@JMassengill]

love your work. Great video

[@nickb5391]

Another fantastic video

[@markbielawski]

You guys are so much fun to watch. 😀 I can't wait to see the rig put back together. 🤟

[@grahameroberts8109]

Oil rig? 🙈

[@gazzafloss]

It could be the ultimate in marriage relationship therapy...or not maybe 🤔

[@michaelwhyte3995]

Brilliant thanks guys!

[@einfelder8262]

A funny thing happened on the way home from my engine tuner - the EGR never opened again. I was really upset about it but the tuner said the thread broke and could not be restored again, so I just had to put up with all the benefits of no soot in my engine. Even the code I got occasionally from the blanking plate never showed again :)

[@freespeech2261]

great work

[@kumbirayinyabereka5190]

Another awesome video. 👌

[@anthonyreed2228]

Absolutely perfect ! ❤

[@jamesgarrard4361]

62000 km is a discrace ,i find it interesting that a wonderfull german couple repair british cars ,very cool x

[@simon-mouse8739]

Nice job 👏

[@akepettersson4847]

You bot mentioned Iceland 🇮🇸 🤩 We are going there but not with a LR….. We’re going with our Volvo XC90 D5 Inscription 2019 🤫🫣 Are we looking forward to be towed by Christian & Vera in august ’24 😂⁉️ ( Nope , no serious offroad with our XC90 , if you don’t rebuild our ”Thor”🙄) Just kidding 😂 Thank’s for this v-log!

[@fredflintstone1]

LR Time videos well worth waiting for 🙂

[@DesBobby-kd7sm]

Great job 👍

[@willlowbridge350]

Love it as always. Let’s start a just for fun competition of what will be the first part to go on V’s newly refurbished LR3. I want to say it will be the cabin heater motor blower 💨relay. ❤LR Time

[@Vera_and_Christian]

This will be in a upcoming video about our trip to the Alps. Good one! Christian

[@Doesnotcare12]

We were doing a job, and a company wanted us to put heli coils into the holes of the job that we just machined from scratch. They came back to us saying the threads would be four times stronger with helicoils than without. These were roughly M30 if not an inch and a quarter. In the oil industry in the North Sea some stuff is American.

[@mr1lapeace]

ohh... what a great couple! I would like to have such friends! From Russia with love. Sasha

[@bigdavesdiscovery3world414]

Phew at last .....done! Well done chaps and chapess 😂 Looking forward to your trip video....

[@charleshepplewhite7384]

Very nice job 👍

[@Evo836]

Great banter between you both and good jokes when people say the Germans have no sense of humour.

[@doneB830]

I love it thanks guys.

[@madmax2506]

brilliant 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@faisalal-thanawi4590]

Well done man keep it up

[@pogues1]

Now sunday feels right, so right.

[@AW-Services]

Awesome video. Come and visit North Devon UK. With all the potholes we have, it's cheaper than a landrover driving experience

[@danielhuckerby8435]

Very Nice!

[@AllenManor]

I hope someday you guys get your hands on a Discovery II and that you overhaul the Rover V8 or replace it with something else, that would be really interesting watching you bulletproof one of those very cool but notorious vehicles...

[@Vera_and_Christian]

We will sell one discovery soon to make room for a new project car. Christian

[@AllenManor]

@@Vera_and_Christian I sometimes wonder what your neighbors think or if it cause you any problems with your town with your lift and extra cars in your driveway. I would think Germany would be strict about that sort of thing.

[@jauniusdzvega9547]

Highly recommended new alternator pulley. You will never know when it will jam.

[@drones7838]

Love me some LR time

[@bizling]

20:00 Normally coded so yes. I'd also advise protecting the nozzle ends as the sac is the most important part of an injector.

[@ericlello2135]

Perfect , and more perfect the , " repairs " on the repair .

[@angelo-212lb]

I’m really looking forward to see the German Job done on your loved (also mine) Discovery 3

[@allan4854]

Superhero’s both of you 😊😊

[@bohicajohnson7203]

Is it legal to remap the ECU so that the valve stays closed? I guess not. The turbo pump? Vacuum pump for brakes? The injectors maybe cylinder specific, TD5 injectors get tested and given a performance value, he ECU gets told the value and operates the injector accordingly. As always, great work, fascinating to watch.

[@gordonbarclay6106]

Love it...

[@ragnarmar123]

Welcome to Iceland 😊

[@mauritztoivonen1070]

Thank you.

[@warwickbunn1250]

I'm looking very closely, but I can't find your box under the bench for all the spare parts and bolts that I couldn't find a home for 😂 Everyone needs a Vera with her bagging, boxing and labelling skills. 👏 Do you buy in odd nuts and bolts for just incase moments ? 😆

[@philippevoordecker6956]

New engines are so complicated ! Congratulation for your work. Hope you missing nothink !

[@paulwatson4650]

lol from jamaica vera is just smiling so much at her well rebuilt \ fairly new ish engine

[@charleshepplewhite7384]

Thanks

[@BerlietGBC]

Very excellent as always, but I still find the complexities of this engine horrible maybe not as bad as an Audi V8 but few would have the patience for a job like this. Great work

[@jrnmller1551]

Vera, remember there is no ice on Iceland and no green on Greenland, sorry old Danish joke, seems like Cristian want to go where there is heat and sunshine?? And Vera wants to go where it is cold and rainy!!

[@timothyhargreaves5273]

☕.......Ah Coffee time.......sorry LR TIME......💚💚

[@-DC-]

You put it in the wrong hole and it was buried in the backside lol LR Time never fails in Comedy 🤣

[@bobevansIW]

Another great video guys 👍. Can't wait for the engine to be re-installed, will Vera get to turn the key?......Gripping stuff 😉 🇬🇧

[@mondodaftasabrush]

Has Christian covered the correct way to sharpen a hss drill ? does he do it by eye or homemade specialist tool We where not allowed a new drill bit from the stores until it was unusable jobber but those days we also had reconditioned jubilee clips recycle and reuse no wonder our company saved money

[@mdshovel]

Now we all need a rest 😁

[@dadgarage7966]

Reusing the old timing belt is fine if you're using 5W40.

[@johnperry7534]

Hey mate , always very wonderful work ! If those engines had been assembled like you and your wife assemble them then they would still be working properly . What they needed was a factory full of German husbands and pretty wives assembling those engines with love . I’d buy those engines built like that .

[@agwatcher]

EGR DECREASES, yes, DECREASES temperature of the engine. This is in books, this is also in scientific papers. E.g. quick google: "At fixed power conditions, as the percentage EGR increases (0-21%), the temperature of the exhaust gas continuously decreases" from "Effect of EGR on the exhaust gas temperature and exhaust opacity in compression ignition engines", Sadhana Vol. 29, Part 3, June 2004, pp. 275-284. Blanked EGR also leads to excessive oxygen in chamber which eventually leads to metal being eaten, early failures and burned out pistons and valves. This is also well-known among professional motorists. You cannot compensate added oxygen with extra fuel because that won't match requested-by-pedal power output.

[@jamesgarrard4361]

Cristian you have a super wife most men would love to have as a companion ,bless you guys

[@user-xj8ln5wc3q]

Good

[@thequietmystic]

Such inspiration... do you download your skills to different brains? Asking so that l can do an M57 rebuild with such skill, smiles and humour.

[@grahameroberts8109]

Brilliant as always.👍🏻 Just an observation. I just realised how low the alternator and aircon units are to the ground. Does this mean they might get damaged wading through a muddy hole on the Canning Stock Route, like What Cruisers and others do? 😱🙈🙏🦘

[@Vera_and_Christian]

If you exceed the LR level of 600 mm depth, they will suffer a bit. Not sure what happens really as the deepest water hole in Germany is on the side of the A5 near Darmstadt and it’s 3“ deep. Hitting it with 150 km/h is still exciting. Christian
