As an LR4 owner you get to hear lots of stuff knocking them for reliability things like “Land Rover a company that has been turning owners into mechanics since 1948. But I really Like the phrase best said in a Strong South African accent “If you want to go into the bush take a Land Rover”. “But if you want to come back take a Toyota”. But I still love my Disco. Cheers for your great interesting LR content and showing us how good and very dry Gmb humour is. Cheers from the UK.

[@paulkedwards]

You continue to amaze me on how easily you do these seemingly scary big jobs. Had to laugh when Vera started putting the tools away, as I might have been guiltily of doing that in the past myself!!!

[@zroverz]

Tools get put away after the new part is installed not after the old part is removed. You’re only half way there. We have all experienced this. I really enjoy the repairs, the dialogue, the humor and the patience. Christian and Vera, you work well together.

[@ministry_of_love]

My Discovery 3 only starts after two turns while cold. As a possible solution, I got the glow plugs replaced but the problem persisted. I wanted to change my high pressure fuel pump as the next solution but my Land Rover specialist mechanic gently persuaded me to wait until my Discovery no longer starts. From watching your video, I think I know why he is hesitant to replace my fuel pump. It's clearly open heart surgery with Surgeon Christian in the operating theatre and Vera, the ever reliable trustworthy nurse :-)

[@Vera_and_Christian]

Thoroughly enjoying your wrenching, even though I’m a Citroen (Xm, Saxo) and Toyota (Prius) owner! I think everyone who loves engineering will enjoy this, with all the witty lines containing so much pretty universal information! Big thumbs up! If I had only the time and space to work on our Cits… never came past the point of replacing a timing belt together with a mechanic. Luckily we do have a specialist nearby who works on them in his free time, they’re not dealer maintained!

[@frglee]

I am astonished at the layers of complexity here, just as much as your ability to disassemble everything, and more importantly, to reassemble it all without forgetting anything. I think I saw a trusty Haynes manual on your bench, but you seem to know every detail of this engine off by heart without using it.

[@Vera_and_Christian]

I can sure make it look like that I know what I am doing. All I need to do is to film an empty screw box... And make sure that Vera thinks that all screws are installed... But of course, nothing was left over. I do prefer the LR shop manual before the Hayes for such complex repairs. The Hayes is good too but the illustrations in the LR manual are better and more detailed. Christian

[@life107familyfitnessboxing8]

I would at least attempt it. It is either that or you pay 4000 Euros for the repair. If you are patient you can get great satisfaction repairing your own vehicle. The great thing is that you know that you done it yourself and nothing feels greater than that. No boring Toyota for me lol

Great video as usual well done,poor Vera!

[@goldensee58]

Dear Vera & Christian, you create very interesting and helpful videos! I'm watching your videos for about 1 year. That time I was looking for the information about LR 3 & 4. The possibility to repair the vehicle as DIY increased my interest to that car, as I like to spend some time with it. I did few test drives on LR 3 & 4. I like the interior, many practicable features, tailgate (not very practicable, but cool :). It is easy to fall in love with this car. I was almost decided to buy one. But my research about the reliability continued. Not only youtube, but other sources show the really huge issues with reliability. On the second hand market so many cars are already with new engine, or with broken one. I would not be able to spend so much time repairing the car and most important - this car does not satisfy basic characteristic as off-road vehicle - reliability. So I decided to use another car manufacturer. Your video helped me to make my choice. I wish you to have enough energy for the future videos! Thanks!

[@Vera_and_Christian]

You are absolutely right. If you don't have the time, ability an resources, than a Land Rover is not the right car to buy. We do try to get that point across. That is also what I write anyone contacting us about what to look for when buying a LR Discovery. Still hope you enjoy our videos 😃👍🙋‍♀️ Vera

[@johnhammond9174]

Brilliant I wish I had you as a neighbour Christian you’re a brilliant mechanic I had my high-pressure fuel pump replaced when I had my body off my LR3 with a replacement turbo not cheap and a message to Vera you keep putting them tools away😂😂😂 😁🇬🇧👍

[@poeml]

Nice, thank you for the video! I changed mine a while ago, it was also refurbished, but it came with a printout of test protocol, which should ensure that the PCV and VCV work as they should, even if they are not renewed. Interesting, I didn’t remove the EGR stuff, nor battery, nor cable tree. However, I did have to remove the glow plug thingie nevertheless, which might have been much more fiddle in my case. It is noteworthy that you were lucky that you encountered the more modern type of HPFP, which sits on some kind of holder. Therefore it is smaller and - as we see in the video - very easy to get out. Also, the front side of the HPFP belt case seems to be detachable. In my case, the HPFP has its own “legs” that it is standing on and bolted on with, which makes it so big and clunky that removing it was a job similar to removing the oil separator case, only with 10-fold weight. :) The real difficulty however was that the front half to the pump belt cover is NOT removable in my case, in fact the pulley sticks through it and I had to bend the cover backwards like crazy. I guess I was close to breaking it. …so clearly, in later versions (than my 2006) I think that LR modified the pump and the belt cover to make replacement easier. By the way, I also had to file my pulley a bit. :-) And as a funny fact, I put the old belt (and tensioner) back in because the new one didn’t arrive in time before vacation (a.k.a. big test drive). Alas, changing the belt is relatively easy once your hands have spent hours in that corner… :))

[@Vera_and_Christian]

We have a 2006 too, and I really hope that we don't have to change the HPFP. 😅 We changed the belt on Fabians car too, putting in a belt from Bosch that came with a defect 🙄. Getting the pump out on Fabians Disco was also a tough one. Remember we edit all of our videos and only put in the most important steps, or in our case funny situations. At least what we think is valuable for the getting the job done. We cannot put hours of trying in video, we try not to waste anyyones time. We will do a major overhaul on our Disco 3 engine, even considering taking the engine out for that job, during Christians winter vacation time after Christmas. 👍🙋‍♀️ Vera

Well this has certainly helped my anxiety, having recently bought a D3 (very cheap I might add) knowing it needed work. I drove it home approximately 30 miles. The next day it didn't start. Fault finding found LPFP faulty. Changed that and the filter and now seemingly the HPFP is faulty also..... I'm a capable DIY'er but this video has certainly helped with a level of anxiousness about this particular job! Love the videos!

Sadly I can't find a new one anywhere. So it's looking like I'm going to have to fit refurbished. We now have p0087 and p2290 so looking like the pump and valves there in are the issue. This video certainly fills me with hope..... Tuesday/Wednesday we'll know for sure!

Hello, with the last modification you made for the fuel gauge to work, bridging the male connector from the fuel pump; was the connection not available for it from the filter?

[@ThatCivilGuy]

19:40 The torque is still increased slightly in this configuration, though by a lesser amount than if the crowfoot was straight. In the 90* configuration the moment arm is the hypotenuse of the torque wrench and the crowfoot, rather than the total length of the wrench and crowfoot in the extended configuration. Long story, it is over torqued, though just by a small amount.

Since Fabian is paying for everything …. I need my ZF transmission rebuild and a set of ignition coils for my RR Sport. Thanks Fabian in advance 😜

[@srnunan4783]

How many ks on the zf and did you ever change the transmission fluid and filter? It’s only good for about 50000miles

Merhaba Vera ve Christian, aynı sorun 2007 model lr3 ümde var. P0087 , yakıt filtresini değiştirdim videonuzu izledikten sonra, 2-3 hafta hata vermedi , sonra tekrar p0087 hatası verdi. Önceki filtre değişimi ve lpfp testinizi izledim , test sonuçlarım sizinki ile aynı. Bu sorunun tek çözümü hpfp değişimi mi? Hpfp değişimi sonrası arıza oldu mu?

[@Vera_and_Christian]

Only a new VDO/Siemens pump will solve the issue. Christian

I am sure you have thought about this away from the stress, but you were correct with the crow foot at 90 degrees to the shaft of the torque wrench. That will give you as close to the correct torque that is possible.

Amazing Job :)

[@arekguinness2342]

I'm going to you for the next repair of my Discovery 3 😜😉👍

[@mightymo2224]

Great job. I think if your wife had toyota jeep then it would be interesting how often each car needed repairs and maybe some of yr other friends had Benz G class or jeep Cherokee for even further comparisons.

[@Vera_and_Christian]

Maybe Fabian's girlfriend needs to get one of those. 😅 We are working on comparing the repairs of our LR3 and LR4. Right now, my LR3 is winning. 😄👍🙋‍♀️ Vera

Sorry cool as Land Rovers are and they are cool. But they just are too much trouble and too much expense for the average person. I am glad you enjoy the challenge and I get to watch your progress. I have a BMW and thought it was a bit of trial and expense but nothing like this! 😂

[@doominic1882]

What diagnostic tool is it you use there please? Where can i get the one?

[@Vera_and_Christian]

I am not quiet sure which one you mean. Fabian has, we do also now, the GAP diagnostic tool, used with your cellphone. We got ours used, since it is a really expensive device. Here is the link www.gap-diagnostic.com/products/iidtool/ What we also have is an icarsoft obdii diagnostic tool. You have to lock at their website what tool suits you best (they changed their models and ours is not available anymore). Make sure it is only for Land Rover /Jaguar cars, and not a generic one. Then order it on Amazon or directly from their online shop, depending on where you are from www.icarsoft.com/Product/s-332-icarsoft_multi_system_scanner_i930_for_landroverjaguar.html 🙋‍♀️Vera

Finally did this on my 07 this week. Did not remove battery or wiring loom from behind the battery, but the rest was similar to your video. Also bought a crow-foot kit, the oil separator stud needs a 13mm. BUT; did you ever measure the LPFP-pressure at the schrader-valve? I’m still struggling with limp with new hpfp and have only 3psi at the schrader, even with a new lpfp.

[@Vera_and_Christian]

There is a video from us about the LPFP and how to diagnose it. It’s ahead of this video. Christian

[@LooseWheelNutPod]

I have no idea why when watching these complicated videos of fixing a disco that I want to buy one! 😖😖😖

Hallo ich habe eine frage ich habe eine neue hochdruckpumpe eingebaut bei meinem. Discovery 3 2,7 tdv6 2009 baujahr der grund wieso ich ihn getauscht habe war weil er auf einmal nicht mehr starten wollte , neue pumpe gatausch wieder die selben druckwerte wie vorher und startet nicht 04,-2,5 megapascal es schwingt hin und her und und raildruck 870-2800 kpa , woran kann es liegen das der druck nicht ansteigt kann es an defekte injektoren liegen so das steuergerät nicht mehr druck zulässt oder auch wenn injektoren defekt muss die hochdruckpumpe normalen druck haben hättest ddi da eine idee

[@Vera_and_Christian]

LPFP Fördermenge muss stimmen. Siehe unsere HPFP Video hierzu. Siehe auch unser Video zum Injektor Leak Test. kzbin.info/www/bejne/earWiYl8bLJsmqc kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZasnGyaqbV9f6c Hast Du en GAP Oder Icarsoft?

[@dukabasuka5475]

Es kommt bei mir gar kein diesel. Von den injektoren raus zu den rücklaufleitungen und es kommt sehr wenig diesel zu den injektoren dieselfilter ist getauscht pumpe vom tank funktioniert Druck ist normal kann es sein das ich kaputte injektoren habe und die machen dan probleme wegen dem druck oder kann das nicht sein

[@dukabasuka5475]

Injektor leak test hat sich nichts gebracht es kommt gar nicht raus

[@dukabasuka5475]

Den test bei den sicherungen kann ich normal mit einen multimeter machen mit den schwarzen und roten kabel und es muss 12 vollt kommen oder s

[@gastonsolar3765]

Thanks for a great video. Having exactly the same problem with my car and have been in and changed the fuel filter first. Same error, now land rover wants 3200 euros to change the pump. NOTHING I CAN AFFORD. Got an original number that I can't find anything on. My question is where did you buy your pump. Grateful for answers

[@Vera_and_Christian]

Hello Gaston, write me a email. Address in Channel description. You need to analyze the fault with a GAP tool. I can send you the recording of Fabians failure. Pump is not always available. Christian

[@tjfuraha2636]

I’m having similar issues on my Disco 3- 2009. Did the error completely disappear after installing then second VDO pump?

[@Vera_and_Christian]

Yes, the new pump solved the problem. Make sure you check Low Pressure first. Christian

[@PggGeorge1]

Hi Christian and Vera , you are doing amazing videos , please keep up with the good work, and the humor is unbelievable (i wish sometimes to have that fun with my wife) !!! quick question , you mentioned on some point there are 2 parts on the pump which can fail and the pump can be repaired with those parts , any chance to get some parts numbers and guidance where i can buy it?! I would like to tell you a great thanks in advance!!!

[@Vera_and_Christian]

No unfortunately not, we even had a hard time getting first, the used useless pump, and then just with some luck, the second brand new pump (which had a broken off sensor). And that job was so time consuming, do it better right the first time around. 🙋‍♀️ Vera
