Turbo Charger Full Rebuild - Land Rover TDV6 / S4-Ep29

[@AdmissionGaming]

You guys must be very proud of Robin, he is very talented.

[@asavvyman]

I REALLY love watching you guys. Here in Australia, we think Germans are not funny, but you both prove us sooo wrong! I truely enjoy Christian’s technical expertise and he reminds me of the people I worked with when building my MB Trac Machines many years ago. I also think you have exceptionally talented boys. Thank you for sharing LR Time as well as your lives with us.

Here here!

[@perrywoodfine8703]

Sunday evening here in The Adelaide Hills and just watched this video drinking a Barossa Shiraz. A master class in automotive restoration. The way you guys present and edit (Fast forwarding the obvious and non technical bits) is a skill in itself. Love it. I admire your expertise Christian. You Vera and Robin make a great team!

[@AW-Services]

It's not officially Sunday until you've watched your weekly LR Time video with two awesome Germans. Great progress & incredible skills from Robin. A trade for life

[@Okierover]

Me too.

[@Adrian_Nel]

Robin...does not waste words. 🙂

[@moobaz8675]

So basically, when rebuilding a Discovery, you need a highly skilled blacksmith like Robin. I'm now trying to persuade my youngest daughter to train as a blacksmith for all the projects I've got planned in the future. Not sure she's quite on board yet. 😅 Seriously though, great effort and Robin has some real talent and skills. You must be very proud. 👍

[@arcarson1253]

Their children are wonderful and a true testament to what excellent role models Christian and Vera are. Much love from Canada!

Another great sunday morning coffee you 2, and at 81 I'm still able to double task I had the laptop on my lap and the TOUR on the TV . Great sunday morning in California thanks you 2 for sharing. Happy Trails

[@Vera_and_Christian]

We watch the tour as well. Right this minute. Christian

[@mikeboone4425]

@@Vera_and_Christian I wish to hell they could do something about the fans sticking their butts out and interfering and crashing the cyclist. People don't think, there stupidity could cause a guy his carrier with an injury they have enough problems without stupid bystanders getting in the way . Tomorrow will be sad no more tour . Stay safe out there in the shop you 2. Happy Trails

[@Hyperdrive2]

Sensational job should be better than a new one. Well done.

[@jongmans38]

It would be good to pre-lube the charger before fitting, usually done by squirting some oil down top oil inlet port and spin turbo until it comes out the bottom drain port. Great video's, really enjoy them.

[@Vera_and_Christian]

That’s done after fitment or the oil will be all over. Christian

[@jongmans38]

@@Vera_and_Christian If you do it before fitting the drain pipe, any metal particles are flushed out and do not enter the sump, and I also lube it again before start up, just the way I have always done it.

[@georgecaspira]

I enjoy seeing your sons work.

[@BenVallack]

I would LOVE to see some videos with the D3 doing some trips like Itchy Boots on her bike. With you two doing trail repairs etc with some amazing travel content etc.

[@ericlello2135]

Another excellent video , and excellent workmanship . Judging from Robin this excellence runs in the family . Having all the “ tooling “ / equipment is great , but knowing how to use it , is even greater . And you Vera as the lady of the house , keep things well run as the lady of the workshop.

[@willlowbridge350]

Oh boy, I thought Christian was the brains of the family but Robin is an artist in metal work. Great job raising such a talented and self confident family C& V ❤

[@josemarcioribeiro2325]

The best couple of KZbin. You are amazing...

[@Vera_and_Christian]

[@adrianward362]

Vera and Christian you brighten my day with your gentle humour and endless knowledge. Incidentally, I once owned a Toyota and it was such a boring vehicle. In 4 years I had to change a rear bulb. My Discovery 2 on the other hand only ever needed a new power steering pump, replacement suspension air compressor and numerous other repairs in the 2 years I had it. It was so exciting wondering what would go wrong every time I drove it! I wish you guys had been around then! Keep up the great work!

[@mdshovel]

That's Sunday started - now for full English breakfast and coffee 🥸 Turbo perfection 👌😷

[@rangie944]

Great to see a stud extractor actually remove a stud. I have never been so lucky, and always end up drilling out and re - tapping. Very impressed with Robins work, a real talent.

[@Vera_and_Christian]

Yes, the rarely work. Christian

[@Richie-C]

Is it any wonder Robin is so talented at 18, he has 2 wonderful master Techicians that he no doubt has observed all his young life. Well done V & C

[@Mac_F87]

Had the same issue just our Caddy van last year. I swapped out the cartridge like you did. I never measured the vane actuation with the same precision as you though Christian. It’s a much more economical repair than buying a new turbo or taking a chance on a third party refurbished one. Robin has some serious skills for such a young man, he has a bright future ahead of him!

[@TheDaf95xf]

Guten Sonntagmorgen Vera & Christian 😊 Every Sunday is now a special day when I get the LR time video 🤩 Not very one can make such an interesting video on a turbo charger except you tow 👍🏻 Fantastic seeing Robin in his forge 😀 Off to work now 🙄 Have a great week see next week guys. And as always big hug and kiss for Vera 😘x 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@allsearpw3829]

GREAT TO SEE THE TALENT RUNS IN YOUR FAMILY , your always fun to watch and have still not purchased a LR , due to your videos . Thanks for the fun and your love of a British product . 🤣❤👍

[@nickb5391]

Robin is very clever, i wish him luck in his future Blacksmith work, it is a dying art now, so pleased he is doing Blacksmith work

[@Colinpark]

Your son's work is awesome, that level of work at that young age he will be in high demand for all his life! Also your guys work is also great so we know where he got it from! A couple of days ago my daughter was helping me with the brakes on my L322 and she double clicked the torque wrench and when I asked her why , she said "You taught me that", which is something I have picked up from Christian. I had a good chuckle about that.

[@Vera_and_Christian]

😅👍💪🙋‍♀️

[@bigdavesdiscovery3world414]

Top job you two! Yesterday I rotated my wheels, alignment was done Friday also a 5W-40 oil change...no bits or pieces to be seen in the old filter and old oil, air filter checked and car ready for England trip coming up.... thanks for the inspiration! 👍🏻

[@Vera_and_Christian]

Excellent 👍. Christian

[@jamest5149]

Tip when clocking/aligning things, scribe/draw/center punch two parallel lines close together it takes out 99% of misalignment from looking at a single line from different angle 👍

[@GarrickPayne]

Wow, I had a dream of forging knives for a living at one point, but Robin is actually doing it and doing an amazing job. And don't feel bad about the unbranded turbo cartridge, I rebuilt the turbo on my old Jag using a Chinese cartridge which i'm pretty sure cost me $30AUD!

[@deplorablebristolian]

I have learnt something today. I have done a few core replacements, I actually did one on a W639 Vito last week but I have never checked the travel of the actuator arm. From now on this will be standard procedure.

[@idiocratease]

Wow,Robin’s blacksmithing is fantastic… you are very proud I can see, and rightly so.👍

[@darrenwootton2007]

Nice work on the turbo.

[@lukemason9500]

[@davidfrank2824]

I always look forward to Sunday morning. This is normally the first video of the new day that I watch. I enjoy some of the videos that it just does that pertain to Land Rover. Like this one here this morning. Any new car today has some sort of turbocharger or a supercharger. I am like yourself I don't want to spend more money than necessary. Like here rebuilding the turbocharger. I personally prefer to rebuild factory parts then to go with aftermarket. I cannot wait to hear the engine again. I have enjoyed the whole process of this rebuild. I really like what you did with the frame. Hopefully everything is back together before the first snowfall. I'm looking very forward to watching your next video.

Absolutely fantastic guys. Your work is amazing as always.

Exellent Kristian and Vera, German precesion enginering on a british farm machine!!! (I sincerly hope Vera kicks your nuts off camera sometimes, you are not always kind to her!!!) Thank you both for the effort.

[@GunnarMiller]

Vera, here's an explanation on banjo bolts en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banjo_fitting . "Compared to pipe fittings that are themselves threaded, banjo fittings have the advantage that they do not have to be rotated relative to the host fitting. This avoids damage that can be caused by twisting the hose during installation. It also allows the pipe exit direction to be adjusted relative to the fitting, then the bolt tightened independently."

[@Andrewpc2023]

Top one Vera and Christian ( and Robin) you guys are such an inspiration to all of us couch grease monkeys. Best Sunday entertainment, I hope you sleep well after all that precision engineering and Camera work.

[@markbielawski]

Amazing work, as always. And this video was not at all boring. You two make a great team and bring a lot of entertainment to these projects. (Copper washers... from Aldi! hahaha) So, what is the story with those 2 remaining bolts?? 😉
