Avoid Maintenance Backlog ! - Land Rover Discovery 3 / LR3 / LR4

[@DENISHOLLAND-dt3ck]

Hi Christian & Vera I was bed ridden for 6 months following surgery for bowel cancer. Well! I found you on KZbin and decided to buy a Discovery3,found one local 23400mls! Collapsed rear suspension. Because I wanted something for a project,I wasn't too bothered about what needed doing as I wanted to use it as part of my recovery 46kg from 75kg no strength (really struggled lifting a wheel). I'm watching less TV now. Managed to change all 4 wheels & tyres,and the air compressor,bodywork is good (black). Need to clean the leather inside. But the results so far,I have gained 10kg in weight (aiming hopefully to reach 70kg over the next 12 months)the car is really helping me to gain muscle. I can now walk without a stick. Thank you guys sincerely for helping me reach my goals. xx

[@chrisgoodwill3818]

Great to hear ans see your recovery is going well mate 👊👊💥

[@rufusvardag8190]

From now on you will be called, the German doctor of Land Rover. German precision. All Sundays would be empty without you guys. Where is my coffee now☕. Love from Sweden 👍

[@jeffreywilkinson2679]

Dear Christian and Vera, Joachim is fortunate to have the best Land Rover people in Europe to sort out his Disco for him. Well done. Another wonderful video. Thank you.

[@Colinpark]

That was a full day from Breakfast to dark. Good on you guys for doing it.

[@mjl8115]

As a Toyota driver I love to watch your channel - because of entertainment I lack in my boring, always working, never broke 4x4 :) See you on the track one day.

[@hammyh1165]

After six hours of working on my Defender ( fixing MOT fails ) this is just want I needed to watch , 🙂. Love the banter.

[@mickbawn6815]

In these troubled times your channel is a great tonic, great fun as usual 😂😂

[@Vera_and_Christian]

That is most important. No one wants to watch boring videos. 😅👍🙋‍♀️Vera

[@matthewc4094]

Great vid. Every time I replace the air filter or once a year I spray half a can at least of EGR cleaner down the air intake - keeps my diesel 4x4 running sweet 🙂

[@unicorntelecoms4387]

OMG! I have 6600-AB!! this must be ancient model, thanks for the inspiration folks!

[@AlexAlbertini-l6i]

Don't worry my friend I have the same as you, we have the reinforced one and for me the pressure is really fast every time I take the rrs, do If for you it's the same do change it you don't need, but if the next time you do a timing belt change you can change the oil pump for an 15 mm one... Cheers lander ✌️

[@kevbob]

V & C- I’m newly addicted to your wonderful videos. Your playful interplay and wonderful senses of humor shines through. And I am getting lots of great knowledge on dealing with my LR3/D3. Christian, your impish jokes, deadpan delivery combined with your accented English reminds me of my German professor in university 35 years ago. (RIP Dr Werner Radke, SJSU.) You have a very similar way of dropping knowledge and himour. 😂

[@Vera_and_Christian]

That's great, hope you stick around for a while. We upload every Sunday. 😀👍🙋‍♀️Vera

[@alexshapley8331]

Really interesting - I have a feeling that we will be seeing a lot more of Joachim and his Discovery! Thanks again for another enjoyable and informative episode.

I’m moving to Europe to buy an LR so I can visit you guys. Vera I used to work with a German fellow in Los Angeles who’s dad emigrated in 1970 and guess what , he used to say oh mein gott ALL day long . I miss him so much he was hilariously funny.

[@philipbellew9645]

Repairs with friends are always better than by yourself. Add refreshments and the chore becomes a social gathering to fix and laugh at their broken toys. Good fun

[@unicorntelecoms4387]

Hi Christian & Vera! My 05 LR3 2.7 went to the shop 3 weeks ago as it would not raise, they called me on Friday and said "we just cant fix it, the wiring loom is a mess and we just dont know where to start!" Im in Denmark, so considering driving down to you to make a great video on the "unfixable Land Rover" German precision needed!!!

[@Vera_and_Christian]

Sorry to hear this but I got a full time job already. Did you check that red is black and plus is minus? Seriously, anybody with a wiring diagram and a GAP tool should be able to fix the system. Hope you can sort this out. Christian

[@unicorntelecoms4387]

Great content again and this D3 will certainly benefit from your magic touch 😁also loved the way Vera was supervising and checking your work with the Haynes Manual 🤣👍great rear set up with the pullout table and everything clearly adding at least an hour to every job for all your coffee and snack breaks which is why this will be a 2 part video, nothing to do with being a first responder. There was more food than parts on your parts table 😎 🤣

Hi Christian, Vera. Many thanks for the shout out of my channel in your video. The jump in sub numbers in the last couple of days is now explained. Looks like tomorrow I'll be investigating a major diesel leak on my D3.

[@Vera_and_Christian]

😀👍I read your post. Usually, when I break down, Christian is far, far away on a business trip, mostly in the US. So I felt sorry for your wife. But I haven't broken down with my Discovery 3, only the Freelander and our Mercedes C Class. 😅 🙋‍♀️Vera

Great find for the oil pump number. I have confirmed with my group members that oil pump casting number 6600AD was the first to have the stronger webs on the tensioner boss.

[@Vera_and_Christian]

I know, I have been registered for a long time already for that event. It was already posted a while ago on the DLRC Forum website. We have been to all of the DLRC events Hessen, ever since we joined, and love it so much. And, I have the CB already at home. Just need a mobile unit and Christian needs to install it this week. 👍💪🙋‍♀️Vera

[@darrelldavison3876]

Well done again guys gawd another thing to check on my discovery breather 😰 I’m just back from 700k trip to see you guys 🤞 my new alternator lasts as long as my disc cheers again looking forward to next Sunday’s vid cheers from down under

[@plasmaDave]

Oh my that alternator came out so easily, I had to change one on my Discovery 4 recently and they have put a turbo pipe right next to it making it all but impossible to get to the terminals. Would have been ok if they had lengthened the wires. The job took me almost 8 hours in the end.

[@robpeabo509]

Very good and informative maintenance video. I will be checking all my differential breathers now.

[@Rickwardful]

Fantastic as always, Christian and Vera. Vera wants a CB. What CB name (handle) should she call herself? “Oh my God”, of course! Remember Vera that all CB codes begin with the number 10, not 5 as in the correct engine oil. If your Disco is running correctly, it is ‘10-40’. Meaning that there are no lights or sirens from its dashboard. Toyota drivers don’t/wouldn’t need to know this! PS, If you can no longer see anything in your rear view mirror and need to ask for a 10-73 (smoke report), you are either in serious trouble, or the rubber pipe between the intercooler and air inlet manifold has a crack in it.

[@Vera_and_Christian]

Wonder if this is the same in Germany. I bought the CB Radio and Antenna for her. Will go in soon. Christian

[@lynstoneham]

It's so interesting listening too you both

[@kevharwood536]

Excellent video as usual, best part of our Sunday, was good to see all the regularly neglected failure items inspected and replaced 😊😊

[@mattyP_7428]

Another excellent video - thanks guys. Had to laugh when Christian mentioned dont forget if you place a rag in the intake pipe to remove it before you start the car, I am in the process of changing the radiator and did exactly this - forgot the rag was there and started the motor. Dash lit up and car stopped within a few seconds, luckily I used one of those long spring devices with claws to remove it before the turbo ate it for lunch. Rag looks in tact havent yet started the car but think I am safe.....rookie mistake #1 with many more to follow.

[@frglee]

That was interesting, thank you! No way in this lifetime I could afford such a vehicle but it's really nice to watch you test drive it on a circuit. 😄Watch out for the Green protesters, indeed!

[@bobrose7900]

Fascinating video.... OMG, I can see a new oil pump coming!

[@Vera_and_Christian]

But not on Joachims Disco. Oil pressure is more than perfect, running 5W40 now, and it got a new oilpump not that long ago. 👍💪🙋‍♀️Vera

[@ryanly3213]

Love your entertaining instructional videos. I really enjoy watching you guys bringing these Lr3/LR4 back to live. I hope to see more videos that you replaced other major components of these LR such as cooling parts and even engine. from other cars of course 😆

Hey you two! How lucky is Joachim to have your expertise on his doorstep. Preventative is always better than repair, so good job Christian. I really do like the setup that he has in his boot, all that food made me feel hungry 🙈. Looking forward to part two on his Disco. Take care

[@erker6423]

good ! So many LR3 from ca 2005 to 2009 on the market have been really neglected in their services by their 2nd and 3rd owner, who just drove them, until government inspection (TUV/ MFK in CH) came up, and then they sell it, with >250 Kkm .

[@Vera_and_Christian]

Yes, and exactly the same is happening now with the LR4's, as they get into the range of 180000km and upward. Being the early ones are now more than 10 years old. Wait for an upcoming video about that. 🙋‍♀️Vera

[@EWOverland]

I like to see your videos and especialy this one that Vera sincery and honest aprove that w-40 do not make the change. The most important is the oil VI viscosity index. Not quality oils degradate very rapidly from low to high range (40) and this is bad for the turbo, chain and more. The pressure is buid by the design.

[@Vera_and_Christian]

Now I never said the 5W40 will not make a change. However, the rattleing did not come from the engine but from the loose pulley wheel. Not all ratteling is related to the oil. I AM ALL FOR 5W40.
