How to buy a Land Rover Discovery - LR4

#Landrover #LandroverDiscovery #LR3
It´s time to buy a new Mall Crawler because we got bored with our old one. Our LR4 was just too reliable for us and there was no work left to do. We might as well drive a Toyota and drink coffee around the clock. Not with us. Our new LR4 Mall crawler came with all sorts of little issues which we can fix down the road. In this episode we take you along how we picked and bought our new car and did the first easy repairs.
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.
We hope you enjoy this episode and thanks for watching,

So the other day my wife walks in the room scowling asking me who is Vera. I look at her perplexed and tell her I don't know. Then she hands me a handwritten letter and after a second I get a big smile. My stickers and patch have arrived. The wife still scowling suddenly says, is that from the German couple on KZbin. I say yes and she rolls her eyes and says oh my god... I say exactly!

[@gooddad1975]

Same happened to me lol 😆 🤣

[@seanhammon6639]

Mmmm... Vera...

[@CaptChaos1964]

Ha ha! I’m expecting my sticker any day soon, and exactly the same reaction!😂

[@TheDaf95xf]

Woohoo 🙌 more exciting times from the very best LR fixer on KZbin 🤩 Sundays will be even more worth waiting for 😊Thanks again for some lovely Sunday LR time with Christian & Vera 😘 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@1699bridgetown]

I think Vera and Christian will be getting a call soon from the Discovery Channel. Then we will have to pay for our Sunday fix. I can’t believe that Christian fixed the worst of the LR4 faults on the way home after collecting the car with the iiD tool. What smart move, normally it’s on the way home that all the LR faults pops up! ❤

[@richardharker2775]

I get the impression Christian is trying hard to hide his excitement. The more problems, the happier he seems. Love these videos. Thank you Christian and Vera.

[@VintageMovieChannel]

mental lol

[@McUser1965]

There is no better feeling than fixing something that somebody else including professionals were not able to fix. Another great video!

[@CeesVerhoog]

Watching your videos is becoming a ritual every sunday morning, I enjoy it very much; keep on filming!

[@redtim3690]

It's Sunday and we get an extra hour to watch LR time

[@dnscud1]

You two make what looks like a problem child great. As always perfect Sunday morning. Love

[@juznut]

The dynamic between you guys is wonderful to watch. Bonus that youre both so into the LR's.

[@leejordanful]

A lovely video. Your joy at fixing the transmission problem was infectious! Looking forward to future videos.

[@rotax636nut5]

I found this to be a real good episode Christian and Vera, one of your best and I'm looking forwards to more updates on the work you do on this car, thank you and drive safely friends

[@josephgittos3787]

Congrats on your new to you LR4 and what a great looking Land Rover esp with all the new tech, always a joy watching you guys on a Sunday and even there kids have talent

[@CaptChaos1964]

A brilliant episode, I love the new mall crawler, makes me want to buy one now! Loads of interesting kit on it, I’m looking forward to watching you make it even better.

[@bigfilsing]

can you imagine trying to sell an LR to these pair !! The poor guy didnt stand a chance :-)

[@richardgeary789]

Just come across your video for the first time i think you are both inspirational to tackle what most people would explode over! I too love the LR4 and after 3 years of Volvo ownership I am going back to owning a 2016 Discovery 4 Landmark. Your videos are delivered with such humour and patience! more videos please! Richard UK,

[@jamiebyles2724]

Another bloody awesome video, love the look of the late discovery 4.

[@nicholascross1961]

Lovely D4!! … your guide to buying a new D4 is 100% correct!! First step… get Christian to look at it!!

[@Vera_and_Christian]

😀👍And having your Transfercase came in really handy already with that Disco. You are not going to believe what is the problem with him.🙄😅🙏🙋‍♀️Vera

[@robholland6460]

Fantastic to see that clearing the adaptation values sorted the shift clunk. My 2011 Range Rover Vogue SE never goes near a main dealer.

[@deepboarder]

not even my LR 3 for over 10 years

💪👍🙏That is so great🙋‍♀️Vera

[@paulwalker427]

Excellent video I am supremely confident this build will be amazing

[@dennismartinferneyhough8183]

You get the same sort of joy as me when you fix something the LR steelers can't fix! Love it.

[@alchristie2315]

Very happy to see you’ve got a new mall crawler for video content! Mine is a 2016 Landmark so a lot of the same features… looking forward to seeing more in the coming weeks!

[@kumbirayinyabereka5190]

Another excellent video from you both. Thank you again. I can't wait for next Sunday for the next one.

[@MegaSkypes]

So happy for you both and your choice in colour if only it had the 5.0 litre V8 like mine! True Mall crawling with outstanding off road capabilities! Love your work 😊

[@bluetoad2001]

this was such a wonderful episode. i love listening to your German English. i never knew my German great grandparents so these LR videos do the job for me

[@madventure2318]

The Discover4 is a great car it's the perfect blend of a great car to drive and a great utility vehicle. Love your energy both of you. Keep them coming.

[@gc857]

You both are heaven sent ! We Love you both and been watching every video to date and has helped us. We really thank you for all the videos ! Nice to see you have the LR4 now. May stay in good health and be safe in all your journeys and projects !

[@ChanceandChoice]

Wife and I are looking at an LR4 as a family car, so i just ran across your video doing some research, and I'm subscribed now😅 Y'all are very fun to watch, thanks for this video!

[@anthonyreed2228]

Perfect as usual! Love the new LR4 ❤, my Mall Crawler is 2011 HSE with 80,000 miles and so I am a little jealous of all your additional tech. Although I still love mine 😊

[@stephanejacquet1400]

Hello Christian and Vera, I’m following your channel since few months and I’m going to buy a LR4 2015 HSE Landmark. Your video is very useful to prepare my checks before negotiations ;-). Thanks a lot 😊

Congratulations on the new Discovery. I adore. A hug from Portugal

I have saved the last few episodes up to watch . This morning not having to work. I started to watch them all . When done today's had been posted .

Thanks😀👍🙏 🙋‍♀️Vera

Love it.. I have a 2015 SE model, same colour. same reliability.. doesn't even leak any oil on the driveway. We love it! And we get to use it heaps in the australian countryside, properly off road.

[@carlthetruthwilliams9447]

[@elfa7952]

Hello Vera and Christian. Thank you for your wonderful videos about the challenges faced with your ownership of Land Rovers !. It's to our credit here in England, that we are able to produce a fantastic vehicle like the Land Rover, and deliberately fill it with minor faults. This helps keep you on your toes. 😂 You love a challenge....so we provide you with a Land Rover. LOL . Thank you once again for entertaining us. You are a great engineer. You should thank Vera for teaching you !!. All the best to you both.

[@guntur98]

love your house and your workshop... the tools are very well equipped.. love it..

[@mylesmooney7505]

Your a lucky man my friend, a wife that (1) loves Land Rovers , (2) gets excited about you getting new Land Rover, (3) makes a list of toys for new Land Rover, (4) she is also easy on the eye (5) your a great team …! Love your set up , tools 🛠 lift the fact you do your own work respect to you both… great couple

[@discovery-on-the-island1079]

Hi Christian and Vera, very nice D4, new mall crawler 😍👏💯

[@mattpepper1143]

Congratulations on the new purchase. Really pleased the gearbox reset sorted the transmission issue.. And a battery for the stop start system cured that issue.. you lucked out... maybe? 😬 Looking forward to seeing you bring it back up to standard again.. 👍

[@mickbawn6815]

Hey you got a great deal in the end ,well done .

[@hallyfella]

Loving the new car congratulations. Plenty of new video's on the way i hope showing you fixing all the little problems .

[@SemperSaint]

I just bought a 2014 Land Rover Discovery 4 LR4 to be delivered in about a week. I've always been a tinkerer, even with our Mercedes vehicles. I really enjoyed this video, because I'm always looking to save money on minor vehicle repairs. The banter between this lovely couple is also pretty refreshing. Looking forward to learning a few Land Rover tricks. I once had a 2001 Disco 2, but didn't keep it for very long. Ready to have some fun with the 2014.

[@justinsmith6296]

Another fantastic video, thank you.

[@95blkmax]

love the content guys! and your side jokes along the way are hilarious. Keep them coming!

[@karlburkes6399]

Got my Disco 4 3 years ago, black HSE similar to yours Christian, to replace my hard working Disco 3 and it’s by far the best car I’ve ever owned. We live in the midlands in the UK and have a house in the south lot France plus a son at university in Strasbourg, the D4 is not so much a mall crawler for us but an absolute mile muncher. The record so far is 17 hours I one go across Europe, the D4 just lapped it up. If you are prepared to pamper them they pay back in spades, enjoy will be watching to see what you guys do with yours 👍👍

[@simoncroston4581]

A new video…happy Sunday. 😊

For a moment there I thought you were going to reject the new Mall Crawler because it did not have enough issues! I am looking forward to the work you do on it!

Amazing video as always.

Fantastic. Thanks again. Always fun

Another awesome video, thanks. New Lead Acid battery, I always put a new battery on a good freshening charge overnight/auto to get all the cells back into step. 1.26sg @25°C ideally. You never know how long that 'new" battery has been on the shelf and car alternator

Lol 😂 . Christian

I love watching your videos! Great work!

[@michaelforden156]

Great video .Well done to Robin a very skillfull young man

[@naturshoot8448]

JLR used that style of locking wheel nut for a while. They are hopeless and I had to get one removed from a Jag by a specialist as when they break they just spin, even with the original unlocking nut. Best replaced with McGard style, which is what newer models now use as well. Great video 👍

[@mdshovel]

The easy way is a 19 or 20mm holecutter to remove at little cost

[@steveone9375]

That was great ,,happy new car 🚗 👌

[@johnanderson2432]

Nice find. Funny how you were all excited for the start/stop feature. I hate it, and the first thing I do after starting my truck is to disable it.

[@Vera_and_Christian]

Yes, I wonder how long Christians excitement lasts. I hate the ECO warning light. But he has to be in stop and go traffic for almost two hours every day. 🙋‍♀️Vera

[@itzikhillel]

This is the first time I got to see one of your videos, I was starting to look for a used Land Rover and I live in Germany, this is amzing, I'm goona watch all your videos :)

[@fredabban2067]

You two gave me the confidence to buy a 2011 LR4 with a jaguar V8 at 153k miles. I absolutely love it and can’t wait to watch your videos for more tinkering. So far everything has been perfect. Going camping in Vermont soon

[@martinbenchetrit4781]

How is everything going with your recent purchase? Planning on going for 2013 LR4 90-100k Miles over here in Dubai

[@sparkgame2741]

@@martinbenchetrit4781 go for it! But like others have said, make sure you do your inspections. Know what to look out for

[@waltergabauer]

Super Video. Ich habe mir das DAB+ Modul von in2digi eingebaut, somit ist es mit dem Original Soundsystem zu bedienen. Aber natürlich auch wesentlich teurer. Die elektrische Lenksäule ist einfach perfekt, wenn die Fahrer wechseln. Schönen Sonntag euch beiden.

[@allsearpw3829]

FIRST HERE , sit back and enjoy , nothing like finding faults , from the start .IF he only gave you 20 bucks , is that the amount he spends on the services .The ECO MODE , is now sorted . You Guys really like a challenge . I was in Dover last night and there was a 20 mile queue of faulty LR,s ALL heading to Germany for a make over and a rest to their lives . Great work , still not sure if to buy one 🤔 But keep the videos coming , thank you .

[@ivanpaguni]

Congrats for your new car Christian!

[@dsm810]

Good video, thanks. Christian, in the US, there is only 2 vehicle battery makers ; East Penn and Johnson Control. All the different brands label either makers brand as their own. There are ways to tell the differences between manufacturers. Quality differences can be there but not really noticeable visually. Best way is by weight. For flooded batteries, lighter is an indicator of lower power (amps) and less life (less lead).

[@shmuck66]

applicable to USA only. There are more globally, so he has choices. Sitetel (euro), YNC(korean), Dongseo (korean), Yuasa (Japan), Hitachi (Japan). While Johnson controls makes Bosch and Varta batteries, they have factories globally so European choices won't come from USA plants. Personally I prefer korean batteries lately, had horrible experiences with Exide and Johnson batteries.

[@dsm810]

You are correct N Terrs. However, I'm starting to see batteries from Saudi Arabia, Spain and China start to come in to USA. That being said, it's very limited to select sizes. Are you guys starting to see Lithium batteries in Europe? They're rare and costly in USA.

I'M SO HAPPY YOU GUYS GOT THIS MALL CRAWLER! Expecting more videos on LR4! Give us mall crawler owners some attention!! :D

I bought an LR3 in Istanbul about 3 years ago. When I moved from Istanbul to Berlin in 2022, it was the only thing I regretted selling. After 1 year waiting for the license, Now I'm making the 2nd meeting with the seller to get an LR4 tomorrow. 2011 model HSE w/out panorama, at 200,000 km , full checkbook in land rover service, 14.000k EUR. Now I'm going to make a checklist by watching this video for the 3rd time ! and impersonate you on the appointment tomorrow morning :)

It’s so awesome to see someone else deal with the problems of owning a LR. I’ve moved to Toyota where the likelihood of these types of headaches is low.

i have a 2010 disco 4, 3.0 TDV6 HSE, i bought it in the Uk i;m British. i've never had a problem with it despite all the holidays in Ukraine on the appalling roads here. I took it to Ukraine on the 26th Feb and started evacuating families over the border at Uzerhorod. Driving thru the Carpathians every day fetching and carrying about 300 people thru ice & snow, minus 25c. Then i went to Odesa and drove from there to Constanta taking more families out and bringing in supplies of food, military kit & meds. Day in day out the vehicle was beautiful, handling superb, fuel economy not bad averaging about 8 litres per 100 kms. about month 4 of the year i was ferrying soldiers out to training camps where we instructed them in NATO methods across severe terrain for 5 weeks. Had to change the suspension bushes and some sort of arms and the suspension was like new. The Prop Shaft rattles a little and needs changing. Only broken item is the rear washer has stopped. Thing with these amazing vehicles it to service them regularly, Taken on board your advice vis a vis Oil! Still here and hauling people and stuff around in Nikolaiv. Our work has changed, the chaos, panic & fear is no longer and the vehcile keeps going. Winter is coming but a Disco 4 can handle that...

[@Vera_and_Christian]

What a deep story. Thank you for your effort. I wish that your Discovery goes on for ever. Please stay safe or as safe as possible. People need you. Christian
