Checking the oil filter for crank bearing shards is exactly why I always drain from the sump bung. I inspect the oil with a magnet to make double sure there is no bits in it. Oh and, 5w40 oil as the 5w30 is like water There's a German guy and his Wife who have done a whole sting of vids on the Disco 3/4. You should check out their channel. It's called LR Time. 👍👍👍
Hey, inspecting the oil with a magnet is a great idea. I did mention the oil type in the video and i'm a massive fan Christian and Vera from LR Time! I'm moving to 5w40 on my next change but this video was a bit more 'by the book'. Thanks for watching mate I appreciate it!
Hi, this is the original bag it came in. The mattress tends to expand while they are stored so do fill the bag over time. Also our's is ripped slightly at the opening. The bags aren't high quality. The mattress is great though 🤠 Thanks for watching and keep camping!
Hi Terry, thanks for watching mate. I've just done a little research and my guess would be NO. It's not in the same location. I'm basing this on the chassis is different on the L494 RRS and checking the powertrain details on Wikipedia it's NOT the same engine SDV6 engine either. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Range_Rover_Sport#Second_generation_(L494;_2013%E2%80%932022) It may help your search to look for the L405 RR as they are the same layout and share engines. I found this on LandyZone too: www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/range-rover-sport-l494-fuel-filter.390981/#google_vignette Best of luck! 🤠
Seen my brothers Jetboil on a recent camping trip, was very impressed, but i also couldnt justifiy the high cost. I bought the campmaster and very it is brilliant, if you lose the cup the gas fits in to the boiler. Great video mate, cheers.
Thanks a lot!. I've just bought me one, didn't even know I'd need a battery, I didn't know what to do with the cable, I don't know yet if I'm gonna be able to attach the clamps to my trailer, after watching the video, I'm getting back to work to c how I do. Once again, thanks!
Nice review, am planning to one of these for myself. I do have a rule for when changing blades/drill bits on any of my dewalt cordless tools to remove the battery. I guess this is not essential with most tool but drills and impact drivers you have to actively lock the power switch out.
Hello mate, really useful video and looked like a real pain to film some of the work. Was just wondering why / if there is a need to change the sump plug if you can drain the oil with that pump? Is it so you can do a bit of a flush? Just seems a pain removing the bash plate. Don't want to cut corners but also want to avoid making the job more difficult for a novice like me.
G'day mate, Sorry for the late reply, i've been away on an extended holiday. I'm NOT far past being a novice myself, I've only had the D4 for 2 years and this is my 3rd service. I definitely don't think it's essential to change the plug and it will NOT impact on the engine. Bear in mind i'm NOT a qualified mechanic! I did it just to be thorough and because my kit came with one. I think as always these questions come down to experience and opinion so best to make your own mind up I suppose. Have a look at this thread where you can see there are many discussions about 'plugs', 'threads', 'washers' and 'seals'. But in short, IMHO - No. it's not necessary. Thanks for watching 🤠 www.aulro.com/afvb/l319-discovery-3-and-4-a/220314-new-sump-plug-do-we-really-need-one.html
I bought this a yr ago after my brother used this to jump start my car. I just notice that the multi port charger doesnt work and I think mine doesnt have usb c port
Could be a different model maybe, there are plenty of them on the market. Don't forget it needs to be turned on for the Multi port outlet to work. Best of luck and keep camping! 🤠
Hey mate, where the sump plug is, you don’t need to do that bolt. The black cable to the right of it comes off by pressimg a button on it and drains out.
hey mate great video , just got D4 myself , mine has a dip stick though and can't see anywhere to connect the oil pump to suck oil out , is it maybe cause mine is the base model ?
Hi, so sorry for the late reply, we're on holiday at the moment. If it has a Dip-stick, it's either a different engine (not 2.7, 3.0 TDV6 or SDV6) or it's a Disco 3. I'm not fully across all engines and variants in territories. Best of luck mate
Thats great mate! It's literally why I made these and i'm so pleased to have helped. Thanks for watching! (Sorry for the late reply, we're away on holiday)
Great video, just convinced me to give it a shot (instead of forking out $1000 for a mechanic), just curious, where did you buy the parts kit from, or did you buy them individually?
Hey mate! Sorry for the late reply. (we've been moving house). Are you in Oz? I got this kit at www.youtube.com/@klrautomotive3772 They're a good LR service house in NSW. This one is a NON OEM pack, but i found the parts really good and comparible to the OGs. klr.com.au/land-rover/discovery/discovery-4/spares-and-parts/filters-and-servicing/service-kit-discovery-4-3-0-tdv6/ Let me know if you need anything else 🤠
Hahaha ! It's definately NOT a 2 minute 'down' lol. Havr a look a our pack down vid: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5YXQaeFkG30.htmlsi=ZpwpLkhP5tyTrsSz Thanks for watching and keep camping 🤠
I'm not even sure where to start with how wrong / stupid you are... So you spelt 'Tyre' wrong firstly. The 'plastic box' is made from recycled ABS / HDPE plastic which is the same as most common car wheel arch liners (hence why I picked it). The 'wood' is Marine grade ply (from Boats) so if I hit a Whale it's fine! If you had a "hard poly plastic for the reason' It would probably crack due to movement and impact. Thanks for your comments and feedback. Keep camping and thanks for watching 🤠. (i just drove 1800 kms up the East coast of Australia with the caravan. No blow-outs or shreds!). 🎣
Hi guys I need advice, I bought DISCOVERY 3 about 6 months ago and it was just packed now I want to use it seems like the brakes have jammed. It start and try to move but looks like the wheel are locked. There's any easy way to make it make move without make any damage that will cost money. PLEASE ADVISE 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Hi, I'm definately NOT a mechanic so might be best to call your local garage. That said, if your D3 has an electronic handbrake (parking brake) it my have seized. I'd start there... Best of luck!
Thank you. I bought one so that I could manouver my van on my own. The manual gives no idea as to how to assemble it for a nonhandy person. I managed to figure out some of it. But you have clarified the rest thank you so much.
Mate, that's a brilliant idea! Keep them coming 😇. I've expanded my service log to a new notebook where I keep all receipts and part numbers I rip off the packaging stapled to the page with the date and mileage (KMs in Australia), like my own record. Old school but nice to have with the vehicle. Thanks again for watching!
Cheers Russ! We really do appreciate the support. In real time (April 2024) we're at the point of heading off on our 1800 Km journey in 2 weeks and she's NEARLY ready to tow! Now has driving lights, legs, reflectors etc. It's a massive job getting an entire household ready to move interstate and adding the Hotrod into the mix has been a challenge to say the least. She's watertight and stable now and we're really looking forward to getting some footage of the trip! Thanks mate 🤠
@@campingbegins So cool. Look forward to seeing the footage. So is that WA or QLD you're heading to? Happy to see you if you stop on the way to QLD. Cheers.
Thank you! You gave me the confidence to do my first job on - what I perceive to be - an incredibly complicated vehicle (D4 SDV6). A calm approach and clear video, including some important tips and experience passed on. Needless to say, a gorilla had over-tightened my water sensor and it had broken, hemorrhaging diesel. Job now done, diesel staying on the inside; thank you again!
@simonpearson8757 That's great news! I know what you mean, everyone thinks vehicles like this are super complicated and expensive. But they are quite modular. I just want to show anyone interested that cars like this can be maintained and have a long life while serviced from home on the driveway. Don't start me on Gorillas. they mostly work in the dealerships! I'm very please you got over the line without hemorrhaging too much money! Thanks very much for the feedback and support, I really appreciate it. Cheers mate 🤠
Hey there! Thanks for watching 🤠 The manual states: Maximum Capacity 6000lbs. (2722kg) on level ground. (has loads of Torque) I've not seen any other reference to this but where I bought it from does say: Please note: This unit will not suit double axle trailers due to the lack of weight on the jockey wheel for grip. However, i've NOT seen this stated anywhere else, even on the official site. They're now known as ' Mini Mover 3 PLUS '. (upgraded bracket) Official data sheet here: static1.squarespace.com/static/60bfbd0b1720da7008743db3/t/65ba57ea0d88b8638ee1c63c/1706711021660/MM3%2B+Manual+1-31-2024.pdf Cheers mate.
I've watched all your videos in one sitting.i really only came across your story because I was looking at reviews of the electric jockey wheel - and got fascinated by what you were doing. It has been a joy to see how you have made all the repairs to this relic of my childhood. (Yes, should have taken the shell off! LOL!! ) Interested if you eventually need to fit updated leaf springs and perhaps add shocks and electric brakes to get roadworthy. So impressed and really looking forward to the rest of your creativity. And then either polishing the aluminium or a cool paint job will just make it glow!! What really impresses me - and which is very rare - is to see a couple both passionate about a renovation and both obviously committed to doing this together with fun and enjoyment. Simply brilliant. Don't stop sharing your story. And when you do get it on the road, please come by in the Blue Mountains to visit us!!
Hello friend! This is the BEST comment we've ever received 🥰 Did your family have something like this caravan? It must have been awesome as a child travelling around on holidays. We don't know much about it and this is our first caravan, but we believe it is a 1965 'Hot Rod' hand made caravan. It's Kirsten's baby really, the kids have flown the coop and we had a RU-vid channel already so I thought we should document the restoration. (I cut out the marital 'debates' we have LOL so we appear to be a wholesome family 🤣). Kirsten wants to polish her but i'm hoping for a cool paint job, so let's see who wins that debate... The videos are a month or two behind as we both work full time so doing the restoration work and editing the videos does take a lot of time. We're in the process of moving interstate from Victoria so the main focus is on getting it road worthy, QUICKLY! I'm looking forward to recording some of the trip. Thanks so much for leaving a comment we really do appreciate the support and hopefully will get to the Blue Mountains one day. Being from the UK, we aim to see all of Australia! Keep Camping 🤠, Adam and Kirsten.
So cool. My dad had something similar so good memories to watch yours. I think it is now well and truly in caravan heaven.🤔 As for family, that you do it together - even with 'debates' is a wonderful thing. I'm a bit biased on polishing (love the look of Airstream glistening) - perhaps polish first and see - then paint if not the result wanted - "debate" counselling. 😇 Enjoy the relocation and seeing Oz - there are so many magical places, particularly if you get off the beaten track, although some of those tracks might be a bit of a stretch for "Hot Rod" - have a name for her yet? - must name caravans before setting out, otherwise they get grumpy😂. And of course, being Ozzie, it has to end in "ie" - we shorten everything! 🙄😂 I will enjoy watching you adventures. Cheers, Russ@@campingbegins
Thanks Terry! We're in Australia so all in Kilometers mate. Just short of 240,000 kms, around 150,000 Miles. Cheers for watching and thanks for the support 🤠
Yes. There is definitely some oil leakage while stored, not much but there is some. I keep it stored in a heavy duty plastic bag which helps. I've had a few chainsaws in my time and they have all leaked one way or another. I've seen some videos about 'fixing' with a rubber 'O' ring but this is not where is leaks from. Thanks for watching! 🤠

@@campingbegins thank you very much for your reply. I found it very disappointingfrom a brand like this to have this issue. I had another one with like 60 euros and never had a leak. It is almost not usable for me. I cannot travel with dewalt in my trunk. I have to empty and refill every single time i have to use it... I cannot have even in storage. I sent it to service and they dont even admit that it leaks...
This guy reckons he fixed it on this video but reading the comments is interesting too: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9Cin-YTflZA.htmlsi=Ihzipzh6yA6hy9fK
Amateurs. One person job…. - valves out - quick roll to get 80% of air out - valves in - unroll - tight re-roll - release valves once the “tail” of your second roll is full inflated - finish tight roll and replace valves, mattress will remain compressed until you get the straps on
Correct! We're completely amateurs. Maybe the 'Camping Begins' gave us away? I thought 2 minutes roll up and strap was pretty good. We're always looking for ways to improve our experience. Do you have a video of your method? Feel free to link here to your video: Thanks for watching and Keep Camping! 🤠
Oh thats a shame! I've had a few people tell me Adventure Kings aren't great at warranty claims. There defintely are more expensive, possibly better units on the market. I do like the product though and not had any issues to date. They have changed the product since recording, it's a slightly different unit now so maybe more reliable? We have one in each of our cars ( LR Disco 4 and Jeep Patriot (lovely wife leaves the lights on very often lol)) These have actually got us out of a few situations to be honest so i'm glad to have them in our cars. I'll update if we have any issues. Thanks for watching mate and keep Camping 🤠
Nice one. Thanks for doing the video. It is advisable to prime the fuel system by pressing the ignition button (without starting the vehicle) so foot off the brake. You should do this three times. You can hear the fuel system doing its magic. This removes any air trapped in fuel system. When you come to starting the vehicle on the fourth button press you should not experience any splutters or misfires. Also, it is so easy to forget replacing the O-rings and it sometimes makes me wonder how many garages bother to do it? And how many would actually go back and rectify their mistake if they had forgotten to do it? A reason why I do most of my own servicing & maintenance. Cheers for the video, it’s people like you that help us keep our land rovers going without going bankrupt!
Definitely Valves open for rolling up, then close the once rolled up. I find it still expands even when valves tightened up when stored away. Thanks for watching!
