We Bought a Failed Engine Land Rover LR4 and Fixed it / S5-E35

How many Toyota owners follow these guys. ? I admit I am a Toyota owner, but just love this channel,

[@Ant-iu1kg]

Yes! One here. Former LR owner 😂

[@gegwen7440]

Lexus owner here.

[@greebo7857]

I like how they can take the p1$$ in a friendly way. Here in Oz that's not always the case. LR owner here, used to work on 'Yotas.

[@johnturnbull2146]

Yep, me too, A new Prado after many LR test drives; I was not brave enough or mechanically minded and do not have Vera 😀

[@doneB830]

I’m a 60 year old Toyota owner in Australia that’s also a mechanic, I love this channel and I’m learning a lot, it’s really special.

[@WalshamUK]

Thank you for the Omaha Beach part of this week's video. My father was in the British Royal Engineers during World War 2, and he went through Arromanches on D-Day+25. He was originally scheduled to cross the Channel on D-Day+2, but that date was for some unknown reason changed to D-Day+25. If that change had not happened, I may well never have been born (1951). I visit France a lot, and when I drive back to the UK I always arrive early for the ferry and spend half an hour or so at the Belvedere on the cliffs above Arromanches beach. Sobering moments. Sobering thoughts. Keith J.

Happy anniversary to you both. You are both a ray of hope and sunshine and brilliantly funny. Many thanks from a former lr series 2 owner in Derby UK

[@harveysmith100]

As a bored Toyota Land Cruiser guy, I was amazed at procedure for bedding in the newly fitted parking brake. Fantastic. Toyota know their customers are generally bored so they know after new parking brakes they will forget to take the hand brake off a few times, this is the equivalent of your procedure, it beds them in OK.

[@GrevilleRyan]

My weekly fix of Vera and Christian....I really look forward to Sundays working on Land Rovers...

It makes me feel better knowing that even Christian made the mistake with the intake foam piece blocking the sunroof drain. I made that mistake last year and figured it out after my passenger floor was getting wet when it rained.

[@charlesperry6088]

Guys I just bought a 2012 Disco 4, SVD6 diesel SE (143000kms) from my garage owner Son In Law. He bought it from the first owners who had suffered an engine failure. He got his mechanics to do a body off inspection of all systems and install a ‘new’ engine after they had pulled it apart, checked it closely and installed new timing chains etc just to be sure. After driving it for only a day or so I fell in love with it and threw my money at him - got a great Father in Law price too 😂 What a great driving car! What an awesome interior! I had my mind set on a Toyota Land Bruiser, and some years ago had a 2004 Nissan Patrol, neither drive as nicely as my ‘new to me’ Disco 4. I found your channel surfing the web for everything I could learn about my Disco 4 and have been binge watching it since. You two are AWESOME ❤ Christian I wish I had your skills but when I move back to Australia in the next 6-8 weeks and start driving my Disco every day I’ll certainly be buying the maintenance manual and a good computer fault detection device, as recommended by you, and start doing more of my own preventative maintenance/ oil changes etc - even if my SIL owns a garage. My current car is a 2015 Ford Ranger 3.0 XLT, I bought new, with the same Kms and is an utter POS in comparison. Ich Danke Ihnen Aus Australia!

[@Vera_and_Christian]

Thanks 🙏 👍

[@mikeharrold9415]

As a Toyota Rav4 Driver the most technical thing I have yet done is find the bonnet ( or hood) release lever. I found it but as yet never had the occasion to have to use it. Watching you Landrover guys is fascinating to us, I think you are all a little loopy. Having said that it makes great viewing for us . There is an old English saying "there is always someone worse off than you" (Landrover Drivers) At least it is exciting, getting in to the Landrover and never being sure if you will ever get to your destination. They are very comfortable which is ideal when sitting waiting for the break down truck to arrive. I have in the past considered buy a Landrover , but when i get this urge I open my garage door and bang my head on the wall a few times and it soon passes. I hope you both keep up the good work as we Toyota drivers love it.

[@Vera_and_Christian]

I bet when you open the hood for the fist time in a few years, it makes a noise as if opening a medieval tomb. 😂

Congratulations on your anniversary ! 25 years not bad at all! I have been married for nearly 45 years. Several different wives but 45 years. Finally found one who loves Land Rovers ! A keeper for sure ! 😂

[@sinmas4925]

A few months ago I wrote you to ask, if you could help me find a Disco4 (obviously a paid one). Your channel is amazing, and I still think and believe that you should be able to act as an advisor and give people a kind of service focused on the purchase of Land Rover cars with your knowledge. Congratulations on the channel!!!!

Leave the chrome letters on the bonet, otherwise you should change every single chrome at the front, to match those black ones. Excellent job as always. I have planned a visit at these heroic beaches up at Noramndie. Thanks for being somehow informative.

One suggestion for longevity, on the bonnet, remove the "D", "I" and "Y" then follow the new instruction on the bonnet.

Good idea.

[@johanfpa]

Not sure if anybody already mentioned this but to take out the side vents without pulling so hard on them (which may break the plastic lugs) is by using a long flathead screwdriver from the top (where the bonnet hinge is) to push down the top lugs. Most forward is easier than the back but not too bad. Congratulations on your anniversary!

I need to try this next time. Thanks.

[@raycollington4310]

You are both inspirational people. Adopting your work ethic and ethos gets us off the couch and doing stuff we might otherwise wouldn’t do. Thank you both. The Overfinch models seem common in Chelsea along with the G-Wagon community. It seems so ridiculous that the London rich need such off-road capacity. I’ve never heard you mention the Mercedes G-Wagon!

[@Vera_and_Christian]

Thanks. We will stick with JLR products for now. 👍

[@johnwillett4086]

Thank you for all these videos, I am learning so much - even though I am unlikely to do any of the stuff you do - other than replacing the wipers which I did a few days ago. Bad news - my electronic dipstick has failed - but the good news is that it is covered by my Land Rover Extended Warrenty and will be done free-of-charge - phew. As yours is a 2016 D4 (like mine) you should be getting a letter from Land Rover as they will have a security upddate that they will do free-of-charge this Autumn. It's really looking great - just needs the mud flaps now - they really help protect the vehicle from sones and stuff thrown up from the road.

Great video, I really need to do my back parking brakes on my L322. Thankfully, mine are manually operated (Not sure why Grenadier went with an electric parking brake, seems to be a big source of problems) Nice polishing job, I am to ADHD to do a nice job on mine. I like the grill, but I prefer the silver side vents. The "All black look" does nothing for me. But each to their own.

It was very touching seeing Omaha beach, there were so many lives lost on all sides, the one thing we all should do is never forget those who lost their lives between 1939-45, many did not want to fight but it was the case of having too, we are all friends now & hope non of us see anything like this ever again...

Previous Disco 4 owner, one 3.0 tdv6 with the 8 speed ZF, needed an engine rebuild at 25000km as the oil return line failed, emptying itself of oil. Second D4 HSE SDV6, best 4x4 I owned. Sold it when the warranty ran out, not as mechanically minded as Christian. Now I own a landcruiser 200, change the oil every 10000kms haha.

[@IowaLR4]

Happy anniversary! The D4 front end looks great. I think people mess them up by trying to modify the colors too much from OEM. Biggest cringe ever was "I'm going to detail it" then hard cut to a brushed/touch carwash. HAHAHA. I scratch mine up on trails and get it filthy, but then I like to detail things correctly. I spend more time detailing my Mini JCW Clubman. Desktop Detailer here... haha Iron remover is a great thing to do before you clay, it can make it a lot less work. Also, a big part of successful paint correction is clean pads. You need to use more than one pad and clean the pad out often or you won't get great results. It looked like your pads were in touch shape before you started. Nice work as always on the fleet! Still hoping to see a 5.0 V8 Discovery 4 at some point!

[@Vera_and_Christian]

Detailing is hard work. I wash my pads in the Washing machine. Or with the power washer. They are not new but clean. I would never detail somebody elses car, as there is a high risk in scratching it. Christian

[@IowaLR4]

@@Vera_and_Christian Agreed. I wouldn't want to do it as a full time job, but as a hobby it is pretty satisfying. I feel a bit weird even mentioning this detailing stuff to you because on every other thing I have seen you do I very much strive to do things as well or as detailed and precise as you do. I've learned a lot watching how you work! Consider me a DESKTOP STUDENT! 😁

[@OrlyTellado]

Loved the introduction. All my vehicles have oil and other fluids that must be changed too. Disclaimer, they are not Toyotas. Torque wrench double clicking ensures the first click heard was not your wrist, elbow or shoulder. Of course this does not guarantee anything, it just makes one feel good unless the clicking happens to be your wrist, elbow or shoulder. Another acronym from the land-of-acronyms is "BAH" or BIG ASS HAMMER. See you next Sunday!
