Will it Start after major Engine Rebuild ? Land Rover Discovery 4 / S5-EP24

[@Rickwardful]

At this point we all want to thank you, Christian and Vera, congratulate you for yet another superb repair and of course, we will all see you next Sunday too.

Dave (of Daves auto center) stayed up until 2am in Utah for this.

By far the best engine rebuild team known on KZbin. ❤❤

[@waikanaebeach]

I just love Christian’s dry German sense of humour!

[@laurieockelford4102]

The only way to start my Sunday .. pure engineering by a total professional

[@michelod.i.y.5202]

Amateurs that put the professionals to shame 😊

[@davidfuters7152]

Morning guys , happy Father’s Day to all the Dads 🎉

[@MrSchattka]

Thank you!

[@1chish]

I think we can all safely assume that Vera was both relieved and ecstatic with Christian's work. Love the humour between these two - the pipe clip 'discussion' was great!

[@sharvey6146]

Emotional engineering it’s a great feeling when an engine starts after a rebuild well done guy’s good job.

[@StephenGreenaway-e1t]

Lovely to see how happy you were Vera when the engine started. You guys make my Sunday mornings

[@Vera_and_Christian]

😊🙏🙋‍♀️

[@virgilio1355]

Love it when Christian torques a bolt. He clicks it two or three times just to get the keyboard mechanics going.

[@mz2288]

I wonder how many LR OEM technicians are watching? Congratulations on the 2nd rebuild! Chapeau!!

[@alan988]

It is a pleasure to watch you both at work . Vera is so animated , you are lucky to have her . Christian you are so entertaining and a master at your work .

[@chrisdown2591]

CONGRATULATIONS! Love the celebration you both had after the engine turned over!

[@MiniLuv-1984]

Sunday evenings in Australia are such a pleasure with you guys. Thanks. The excitement is building for the next episode where hopefully all the little issues are solved and it gets registered. Another Jumbo on the road!

[@admranger]

There's nothing like the sound of a motor working well after you put bearings (and a lot of other work) into it. Very nice work that even Dave would approve of.

[@williamprobert5124]

That moment when it runs pure joy we’ve all been there

[@Jabullz]

Going through an engine rebuild and getting it to start on the first couple tries is as good a feeling as having comfort food made by your grandma. Glad it didn't give you too much grief, although the coolant leak should just be considered a normal part of a Landy engine at this point anyway.

[@Vera_and_Christian]

The leak was no big deal, and the new cooler was delivered the very next day. Fastest delivery ever. 😃😃🙋‍♀️

[@tekpic04]

Thank you project manager, Vera and engineer Christian for bringing back to life the LR4. Funny thing though, I saw an exact model at the weekend and smiled. 🏆 Vera & Christian.

[@nigelfewster]

Beautifully smooth running engine, great job.

[@barrieneill410]

I am catching upon videos after a four week tour of Germany. Brilliant content and humour as always.

[@2605155]

0:30 Amazing!!! I did not even have to wait one full minute to hear a "Debacle"

[@Discovery_Dad]

Was it ever in doubt! Love how excited Vera got, priceless. 👍

[@Vera_and_Christian]

Yes, you may have missed our first engine start up on our last Discovery 4 rebuild, and especially on our Discovery 3 engine rebuild last year. We even had to take the transmission out again. 🤗🙋‍♀️

[@campacolasworkshop6042]

The last time I did an engine out job on a car, was on an Austin Allegro, what a difference to this enormous collection of utter complexity, well done 😊

[@KangoV]

I absolutely love these videos. My D3 is having all air struts, torque converter, front shafts, engine mounts, gearbox mount/filter/oil/pan, ride height sensors and all other fluids. Phew. I would be lost without this channel. You two are an inspiration to us "desktop mechanics" :) Thank you from the UK.

[@Vera_and_Christian]

😅👍🙋‍♀️

[@mdshovel]

Always best Sunday start - now out for breakfast :)

[@74ador]

"So quite engine" was the best part of this episode 😊 I do agree 100%! Congrats Christian and Vera!

[@ericlello2135]

Good morning Vera and Christian another fantastic footage of how repairs should be done , such attention to detail . I can feel the excitement with you as she starts and runs , " so quietly "

[@colingoldthorpe5918]

Thank you both for another informative and wonderful rebuild video. You both are absolute Classic German people with your quick wit and comedy. You are both total Gems of the Land Rover community !!!!!

[@BorellaFamilyAdventures]

Love how happy and excited Vera gets lol. Still my favorite channel on KZbin.

[@Vera_and_Christian]

🤗🙏🙋‍♀️

[@johnedwards1685]

What an absolute privilege to share your fantastic rebuild.

[@John_O_Maoilearca]

Congratulations- what an achievement! The drama of that engine turning again for the first time was comparable to Frankenstein’s Creature coming to life! (With happier consequences of course).

[@patrickburton6130]

Well done, I'm amazed you have time for church! Oh, and Happy Fathers Day.

[@TR4zest]

When I lived in the US (I am a Brit) I had a petrol Discovery 1. This was early 2000s. I bought it with a drivetrain warranty. The automatic transmission threw up engine lights and fault codes with alarming frequency. It was replaced once and repaired a couple of times. At least then, the fuel was cheap - around $1 per gallon. Anyway, I sold it after the warranty ran out, afraid it would end up with me selling my first born child to keep it on the road. I was done with Land Rovers, though I continued to admire them from afar. Through the magic of KZbin algorithms, I have watched maybe 20 of your very enjoyable videos over the past two weeks. I now find myself perusing used Discovery adverts in the UK. LOOK WHAT YOU HAVE DONE! I am hankering after a Land Rover I don't really need. We have a Honda CR-V Hybrid. Nothing breaks (yet two recalls). It goes, but it doesn't move me, you know? I have a decent set of tools and a driveway plus workshop, but no garage. I already have a OBDII reader - I had an Aston Martin, so yeah. Do I go for the simpler Disco 3, or the more plush but complicated Disco 4? And yes, I'll get a GAP tool too. Thanks both.

[@Vera_and_Christian]

We lived in the US in 1996 to 2003 and early on, the gas was 87 cent. Sorry for infecting you with the LR virus. Christian

[@TheOzkruz]

I was celebrating with you when it started, such an enormous milestone

[@BundyToo]

"Like Dave Said" ....... Dave just likes listening to his own voice! Christian just likes to make Sundays fun! 🤣 🤣 🤣

[@plasmaDave]

Awesome work guys, none of Shakespeare's plays have so much drama and celebration. Love your work. ❤

[@Vera_and_Christian]

😅👍🙋‍♀️

[@nelsyoung833]

Lovely to see the expression and delight from Vera once the engine has started. And the hug of celebration as if you won an olympic gold medal. That was awesome! Congrats!

[@markdaigle9856]

Thank you for doing these cool videos in English.

[@dozerblade]

Brilliant, Dave will be proud of you both !

[@Quaker-sn5fr]

Well done you two. Vera was like a small child at Christmas. So excited. Great work guys, as always.

[@Timbershades]

Congratulations on a fantastic job. Maybe I will open the hood on a Discovery I buy one day and it will say LR TIME on the engine in white pen. I hope so!

[@tonyallen1953]

Great watch Christian.But all that hard work just to get a hug from Vera. 😂😂😂

[@Vera_and_Christian]

That is only what made the cut in the video. 😅👍🙋‍♀️

[@nickb5391]

@13.03, Yes even I know it's a cross over pipe & I don't even own a Land Rover, I learnt it from LR TIME

[@Vera_and_Christian]

😅👍 He just has to be clear about which crossover pipe he means. There are two. 😅👍🙋‍♀️

[@nickb5391]

@@Vera_and_Christian Yes, the water one as well, I know Christian had a problem before with the exhaust cross over pipe in a previous video about 9-12 months ago?

[@Simonwies]

Fantastic Work. Both of you Do a lot for the LR Community

[@raycollington4310]

You hit the nail on the head when you talked about the challenge to get everything right on a job like this and just how many potential things can go wrong. Where will we end up if the future is just more addition of complexity. At some point it seems to me that the auto industry will need a reset on all these overcomplicated vehicles. I rate your knowledge, experience and intelligence streets ahead of wet behind the ears JLR design teams. Thanks for the laughter and education. Time for Vera to build an engine for the girls who watch the channel. Thank you.

[@Vera_and_Christian]

Would love do to that. 😅👍🙋‍♀️

[@henryfoster3212]

Happy Father's Day to you in your family 🇩🇪🇺🇸 LT Time 👍☕🍪🍩

Top Sunday viewing, thanks to you both for keeping us entertained.

It's Sunday again with LR Time

[@beozzie690]

Christian, Dave would never be lazy, just ask Vera!

[@RICHIE87622]

The replica lost clip Christian made was so perfect but also really funny! Beautiful ❤

[@jerdobi]

Congradulations, you have a new baby!

[@adrianward362]

It was such a great moment when it started! I was clenching my arse cheeks in anticipation! Well done, and thanks, guys!

[@themoshpitt]

Love that Vera was so very happy when it started. Think everyone held their breath while it cranked.. Well done to you both.. 👏👏

[@eduardoHMYT]

Your Best in class standard procedures Apply to any brand, congratulations!

[@snorris89]

Shane got a mention. I miss his D3 vids. Great one guys. I don’t think I am mentally organized enough yet to do an engine rebuild but maybe one day.

[@paulgalloway9176]

I love you guys and enjoy my Sunday video with my coffee and toast. The engine start was not lucky, your attention to all the details earns it. Congratulations

[@Stefan_the_sailor]

Nicely done, no comments from this desktop either. Happy Father’s Day to Christian and his father

[@cjryan2113]

You two rock! Congratulations on your hard work! Love to buy you dinner if you ever come to Orlando Florida!

[@Vera_and_Christian]

Thanks for the invite. 😃👌🙋‍♀️

[@HONDAVFRV4]

Vera to Christian, "You're going to fast". Christian, you need to slow down, this way it lasts longer, the video I mean. More viewing time for us.

[@edwardbughiuc100]

it started. The countdown to the next break down has started too.

[@davids9549]

Crikey, this is turning me into a nervous wreck. Now I've seen how complicated everything is in the Unknown Region that is my Discovery's engine, I cannot understand how it manages to start and run without fail every time, particularly as it's the same age and mileage as yours, and of similarly dubious heritage. To ease matters, I have installed an automatic voice recording activator where Vera says "Oh My God" every time I push the start button.

[@Vera_and_Christian]

Lol 😂

[@richardharker2775]

Woo Hoo! Vera's excitement tell it all.

[@JanPorreye]

Addicted to your video's, the combination of knowhow and spontaneous dialogues is one of a kind, not mentioning the combination of V&Ch

[@roydibs44]

I am so happy to see you both so Joy and happy,now you got new Engine! oh my goodness that was good, congratulations❤

[@LeonardGomes1]

Awesome. The best desktop mechanics couple ever giving a new birth to one of coolest cars ever made. While it, I'm trying to put back the transmission of my C3 after a clutch change. Nice video!

[@Vera_and_Christian]

Thanks

[@grahamwest1079]

Awesome another one saved and on the road soon. My Disco 1 is still not going, and the rain has hampered my Defender chassis paint and wiring upgrade, not the best summer on record by far.

[@Vera_and_Christian]

Oh I feel for you. 👍🙋‍♀️

[@DiscoGruffalo]

She sounds sweet. I have one like that. 😊 It's quiet because it's been built with love. ❤

[@Vera_and_Christian]

😃👌🙋‍♀️

[@BentleyOnABudget-mp8jj]

Congratulations guys! Another well earned success. Love the style and the German precision lol. As a very old but very new creator struggling daily to keep my Bentley on the road you offer much inspiration. Thank you Vera and Christian, the best team on KZbin 😊❤

[@Vera_and_Christian]

😃💪🙋‍♀️

[@eddieR-yy3sy]

Lol, could almost feel the Tension in Vera when trying to start! :)

[@Andrewpc2023]

As we have all said before . You guys are so brave. The thought of a husband and wife can take on such enormous impossible challenges is just so crazy. Still the best Sunday evening viewing by a mile😵‍💫😵‍💫

[@leonb2637]

You were so happy when the engine turned over, like you just won a big lottery prize. Of course anytime you do such extensive work you are taking a huge gamble and you should be proud in your success. Of course next week will the (hopeful) passing of the TUV inspection. I was just watching a new YT video of Salvage Rebuilds UK. They got a 2018 top of range version Range Rover that was a repossession for non-payment of the loan or lease. Upon inspection trying to get it started they found out why the previous owner stopped making payments. The engine wouldn't start. Then they took out the spark plugs and it would turn over. It also had no coolant in the overflow tank. When put some water in it, turned the engine over it flowed out like a waterfall out of the rear spark plug holes on one side. Based on your recent videos on your current project, it looks like they will have a very expensive repair bill as will likely have to have an expert work on it. They think it may be just head gaskets, but of course as a LR, likely a lot more.

[@Vera_and_Christian]

Looks like head gasket, and that is most likely caused by lack of maintenance. Land Rover is not always at fault. Often it is how the owners treat and service their vehicles. 👍🙋‍♀️

[@michelod.i.y.5202]

Fabulous, nothing like the anxiety of a first start

[@CharlesTimothy-z1o]

What more could you ask for on Father’s Day,another brilliant video.

[@aa-xh6em]

Waking up at 8.30, and then, waiting, waiting until the upload is there..Yess!

[@Vera_and_Christian]

LOL. 1.5h waiting.

[@willlowbridge350]

Big week for my early Disco4, has had an oil and filter change with 5W-40 A front pair of good quality wheel bearings, a new earth cable fitted, New Battery because I’m fancy! , new diesel fuel filter and its sensor replaced. as well as an MoT test. 👍. The pair of new wheel bearings have made a massive difference to cabin noise levels and my stress level too thinking it was a gearbox or transfer case about to blow up. 😮‍💨. Thanks Vera for your help with a recent reply to my how to get into neutral when I had a dead car🙏

[@scroungasworkshop4663]

Hooray it started. Awesome work.

[@RickRolling-tc7vb]

Congratulations! That was hilarious, and quite the adventure. I can't wait to see what falls off next, as there is always something. You should probably put all your broken parts onto the ventilated block and send it back to the guy you bought the second engine from and ask for a refund.

[@Vera_and_Christian]

No we are locking for a shortblock and rebuild another engine. We don't really have broken parts other than the block. And almost everything from the original engine went back in, expept for the block. Because we know that the original engine was running. We don't know that about the replacement engine. 👍🙋‍♀️

[@johnperry7534]

So glad you had good weather for this installation, always love your good work. I think you’ve encouraged many people to become better engineers and mechanics and husbands and wives , great work . I wish we had some capable people in Australia who could do this work professionally but unfortunately we don’t . Great job filming too.

[@Vera_and_Christian]

Thanks.

[@rockcrusher4636]

Please give us your sons channel, blacksmithing is great to watch. Great stuff. Cheers.

[@GregPalmer2]

You are the number one mechanic's, please next time you see water on the ground under the car never never taste because here in Australia we pee under cars when we are pissed😅😅😅

[@Vera_and_Christian]

We don't do that, and we rarely have anyone in our driveway. 😅👍🙋‍♀️

[@TheDaf95xf]

Good morning Vera & Christian and Alles gute Zumba Vatertag Christian 😊 Awwwwww that was so lovely when Vera hugged you Christian 🤩 When your LR bursted into life I fist pumped too 💪🏻 Well done both of you for giving so much pleasure on a Sunday morning 👍🏻 Looking forward to seeing all the teething bits sorted out in the next few episodes 😊 Didn’t see the Queen 👸 this week ☹️ Biggest hugs ever for Vera 🤗😘 xx

[@Vera_and_Christian]

Oh, the Queen needs to be parked out of the way on the weekends Robin comes home. She is then sitting right in front of our house. 😃👍🙋‍♀️

[@cosmicp.o.m.e3460]

25:10 It STARTED! Gotta love that feeling 😁

[@robc5955]

Wow sounds lovely. Have to say I consider Christian very brave, telling Vera to ‘shut-up’, if I told my wife to shut-up I’d still be trying to get up.

[@michaeldallimore8590]

Well done! I never doubted that it would start. Yes its a shame that Shane gave up on his D3. I got quite a few good tips from Shane.
