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

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 👍

Hi Christian & Vera I was bed ridden for 6 months following surgery for bowel cancer. Well! I found you on RU-vid 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

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.

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

First Class work Christian and Vera and I'm really loving the non stop off beat humour, you 2 could be comedians if you wanted to do something a bit different, thanks and drive safely

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

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.

Not only do I learn something from these videos, but I also get a laugh. Look out, Michael Mittermeier! Thank you so much.

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

Another great video. I love your commitment to improving the reliability of older Discovery's. Keep up the good work.

Thank you from South Africa

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

Thanks for your videos; you both are great and it’s a pleasure, a learning and relaxing moment when watching your vids. keep going! All the best from Romania!

Excellent video - as always. It is great that you share your Land Rover knowledge with other owners. Keeping the great Land Rover tradition going.

That was the session two weeks ago. Joachim was so happy, he still couldn't get the smile off his face. In Germany they say "If he had no ears, he would be grinning in circles". 😂🙃

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.

Always good to see you doing the tests like the fuel one, he is so lucky to have you doing the service how it should be done, look forward to the second part

Omg the knowledge of this dude

Wow! Another excellent video Vera and Christian, 👌👌👌with loads humour and fun. I also enjoyed Joachim's joke, the London train stations announcement "Mind the gap". Thank you again for the video. I can't wait for the next one. 👏🙏

Brilliant video gives me a great reference for our D3

Another great service, on someone else's car, keeping the brand alive. Well done.

Great episode, thanks! Loved the CEE reference @ 17:21, another one of my favourite channels!

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 🙂

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 😎 🤣

Keep up the good work and thanks for the good & funny comments in the videos

All I want for Christmas is a Christian and Vera as my neighbours!!!!!!!!!! Great video!

Good morning this Sunday have a wonderful day thank you again👍👍👍

Good evening both of you 🤩 What a fantastic LRT video 👍🏻 Vera is so sweet the way she helps 😍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

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. 😂

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

😂😂you guys are amazing I always get a great laugh and learn something new

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

If I watch any more of LR time I am going to have to buy one

You guys are fantastic I wish I was there helping

Yet again another Brilliant video. You make me want to fix my own LR (if only I could )

Sehr gut! 😂 I haven't even seen my hobby car yet in Australia but from your videos I already know what to inspect and check when I see it in December 👍

A few weeks ago we saw Christian check the Discovery 3 dipstick, so we now want to see Vera make coffee.

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

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

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 😆

Love your videos and you guys have a great sense of humour, I haven’t been to Germany in over 10 years but remember the good humour :)

You're friends are very lucky to have you!

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.

You guys are so funny and entertaining. Much love from the US.❤️

Great show as always ❤

Really enjoy your videos. Great work as always. 👍

Asalamaleikum from Kosoves. You made my day, Keep good work ! Allah is with you. Inshallah

Hi Christian and Vera, another great video as always many thanks,

love your video here in scotland

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.

Great video as usual. Keep up the great work 👍

It's so interesting listening too you both

Great Video from you both, Christian is very knowledgeable, keep up the good work.

Great Video .............. well done

You guys are amazing

Great content, I learn something new each week.

Well done guys , 🇬🇧

That breather tube contraption you have is interesting. The official updated one has been on backorder for me for so long perhaps I need to build one of these. Interesting solution, never heard of that...

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

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.

Great work like, always, even though I don't understand much English, I always see you, for your great work, how meticulous you are with your projects and for the good energy you both have, thank you very much for what you do, it would be great in a future to be able to have subtitles in Spanish, they would surely reach many more people who love land rover to be able to enjoy their videos 💪💪💪

Great job, guys. I just bought a Range Rover Sport TDV8 yesterday and it already has problems 🙈It looks like this car will be keeping me busy 🤣

that , the greatest channel about LR , I love watch You :)

Great video.

Thank you.

I was always told by Landrover that if you engine has done more that 20,000 gb miles then use 10 winter 40 oil thanks for the video i really enjoy these

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!

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!!!

Another great video guys thank you! You have some very lucky friends to have you on hand to help with their Discovery maintenance. Hope you managed to find space on your roof lining for the OMG patch I sent you 😂

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.

Huge OMG at 4. 23. 😂😂😂😂. Well done on the fantastic kerrygold butter Vera.

Ok. I became a patreon! I’m in the lane rover club, filming stuff to launch a new channel but you guys are my absolute favourite

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

Brilliant appreciate the detail in these videos!

I enjoyed this very much!

Great video, I've got a FreeLander 1 TD4 which I love, watching your videos tempts me to get a Disco 3 or 4 🙂

Probably no worse than many others on the road. My Sunday is officially complete 😄

I am literally crying when you’re saying if you go to the Alpine, you don’t wanna get pulled out by a Toyota😂😂😂

When a landrovers not leaking assume its got no oil 😂 great video as always.

I drive a Toyota. I don’t know if that is the reason I have time to watch your videos? But if it does, thank you Toyota. Very entertaining video!!

Brilliant, thank you. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Excellent work

Clickety clicks 😂 we call them ugga duggas here in America. I now have a new term! Thank you!

The amount of knowledge that Joachim and your viewers witnessed and learned today was amazing. Soon you will have a line of LR's outside of your fence waiting for their turns on the lift for the expert maintenance/repairs that you provide. Did we see a new LR Time item that will be available soon? T-Shirts

I think you've got half the landrover owners in the world going 'CLICK CLICK'! me included..just about to change my Auxiliary belt,the timing couldn't be better..thank-you once again to you both 😉

We are not going to show how to make the coffee...😂. Very smart to cover the radiator while working on the engine. I learned this long ago after damaging mine with a wrench 🙄. Great video!

Great video, nicely edited.

Great job folks!!

Приятно вашу работу смотреть , машину приятно ваши руки отдать .

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.

Thumbs up.Very enjoyable vid. Thanks.(uk)

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.

Dear Vera and Christian, perfect inspection for Discovery :) i wish you would be a little bit closer. I would like to visit you to consult about our Disco, because obviously you know that you are talking and that you are doing :)

Superb once again..

Thanks for the video, excellent content.

I changed to 5w40 a3,b3 and the difference in noise and pressure is obviously better.

Nice video as usual !!

Vera get that CB done...... LG 7 on the 06.11.2022 in Gießen! Ausfahrt mit CB!!! Otherwise very interesting video on a Disco3 the whole reason I watch your channel 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Hi Christian, the rattling when the engine is hot could be caused by a little deviation of the timing belt. I have that noise since the timing belt was changed and I will check the belt soon. Or you could do. Would be a pleasure to meet you guys once. Bye Maurice

I'm actually going to buy a LR3 because of your videos. Not sure if it's a good thing or bad thing hahaha wish me luck
