Body-Off and Engine Out - Catastrophic Engine Failure / S4-Ep12 

“Admiration” doesn’t even start to describe it! - Amazing what you both achieve 👍

I wonder how many of those Facebook hounds could achieve this level of mechanical competence. What a daunting prospect to even start this project. You guys are an awesome team.

Best wishes to your father Christian on his 84th birthday 🎉. It’s great that he shows up now and then to help out. I’ve never seen a body off engine removal before. It looks very daunting. Cheers from Australia.

'I think the noise always happens when it's too late'. Brilliant.

“Pull it back a few _feet_”. Love it. Ft not metres. Even talking like UK Land Rover now ;-). Great vid.

A master class in body and engine removal. Well done to the three of you. It's great to see your Dad helping out.

you guys are priceless, please don't change anything about how you work together I (we) all appreciate the commitment in you filming your work and sharing with us 😊😊

I'm afraid I agree with Vera, this could not be more exciting! Subscribed within the first few minutes of viewing. I am humbled by the enthusiasm for Land Rovers around the globe, whereas in the UK the brand is soon to quietly fade away, like a chastened dog, tail between its legs. Thanks to a pair of charming Germans keeping the spirit alive... I'd like to think Britain never really left Europe, we're just on a break.

Just watched this episode and want to congratulate you both on another entertaining video, such hard work and enthusiasm to give us all another great episode in this series. Thank you both and I am really looking forward to find out what has happened this engine.

Really really good work and I can't wait for the next update, thank you both Christian and OMG Vera, your channel has now become my favourite channel on RU-vid

That was like fighting the mightiest demon from hell while looking like a boss. Great video guys.

Vera!! Everyone needs a Vera in their lives. 👌

Christian it’s important you don’t let them Facebook comments get to you buddy. You and Vera honestly are great. Your approach is stronger then diy and inspires people to have a go to save money on what can be potentially an expensive car to run if you don’t have a go yourself. Myself included. I look at some jobs and think no way. Watch your videos and sometimes I’m out same day having a go. Yourself and powerful uk inspired me and continue to do so. So much so I have created a new RU-vid too. Just for my discovery adventures. Be on the lookout for a mention many times ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

How you guys can do this with humour in incredible. Your both so talented. Love this channel.😃😃

You two make a great team. Excellent communication! And entertaining

"After we got the battery out we gonna go to the Doctor"......OH YES, I've been on that journey. Thank you for this lovely video.

Next favourite channel to salvage rebuilds for me , and that says a lot .

What a fantastic team effort! Bloody well done.

Great effort. Thanks for keeping it real. Tough job and you sounded knackered at the end. Looking forward to round two. 👍

Looking forward to the next instalment. Thanks for sharing 👍🏼

That was amazing work - just love to see how you overcome challenges as they appear and just keep going. Can't wait till the next episode!

Awesome video guys. You had me glued to every minute. Never seen a body removed in such detail.you both work so well together,combining the serious part and fun part. But still working very safely with what you have to work with. Looking forward to next video. All the best Jason.uk.

Thank you for the hard work in making these videos 👍

Love watching you guys,we watch in admiration the work you do,very clinical in everything you do,by far the most enjoyable videos on RU-vid,and a happy birthday to your father, cheers Vera and Christian 😉

Christian n Vera..............you two are the best !

Another brilliant video, I’m learning loads of information from your videos

Great job. Absolutely amazing. Thank you both for another excellent video. Looking forward to the next one next week. 👏🙏

A bloody good show guy’s. Well done, no question, outstanding work.

I'm so humbled with your craftwork, you're awesome. Watching from South Africa.

Great team work again, getting more ambitious with every video. Excellent job . Happy birthday to your dad.

Land Rover...Turning Pedestrians into Mechanics for nearly 80 years!

Amazing work stated! Warning: Do NOT do this at home before checking out the market price of scrap metals

Really great video Guys, look at all that access with the body off 🙂🙂, can’t wait till next week, thank you for all your hard work 👍🏻

Another excellent video, very much looking forward to the diagnosis of the failure. Thank you Vera and Christian.

Christian, Vera, An amazing video. I can't believe what you manage in your driveway. I love the ingenious solutions that you come with to solve the problems that LR techs would be stuck scratching their heads at.

Just brilliant Christian and Vera. Happy birthday to your Dad as well.

OMG x 20 Vera style, what a great inspiring video. Your courage over the obstacles and mistakes, and the oversight that a broken engine won't turn. Thank you for sharing with us.

Well done once again. Informative and entertaining. Happy Birthday to your father Christian. You are a wonderful family.

Another great video. Very inspiring. Can’t wait to see the next one 😁

WOW! You guys kick a$$, this is going to be an awesome series!

What a great team, wife, husband and dad working together efficiently.

This was a very good one, well detailed. I'm curious to see how it's going to evoluate in the next episodes. Thanks!

Hi Christian and Vera. What a great episode this is - taking the body off a Disco 4 !!!! You guys do a really great and professional (or better !) job of this so I'm looking forward to what you find when you strip the engine. Happy birthday Papa ....

Absolutely love this channel. Thank you for another entertaining video. Look forward to the next.

Not many people would tackle that at home can't wait to see your progress on it 👍

Hello from the north, Another great episode, almost too short, I could have watched you for hours. I find Vera's love of order remarkable, I like that. I'm already looking forward to the next part. Best regards, Heinz.

Excellent work Christian and Vera. I have a few jobs to do on my Disco 3 and watching this video makes them seem pretty straight forward. Cannot wait for the next few instalments of this story. I will set my clock for next Sunday morning. Happy Birthday to Christian's Dad👍🎂

Wow what a dynamic and fun couple. Awesome video

One word: ,, wow 😮 “. Great video ❤ love it.

I wish I enjoyed fixing my Rover as much as this guy.

You both are amazing! Congrats for such high level content. Keep going!

Amazing. First time seeing your videos. I can't imagine too many home mechanics taking on a daunting body-off job like this. I will be watching the next instalments to see how you line everything up and get the body back on.

Love how you’re organised and all the effort.

More superb content. So much to like. Thank you both.

Hi Christian and Vera , hope this finds ur both keeping well , Awesome, this is going to be an epic series of videos, hope it’s ok but sharing these on Landyzone and the D4 forums for u , hopefully along the way will get more subscribers coming ur way , really looking forward to this as I know u go into great detail explaining it along the way , so this is my Sundays covered in what to watch , massive respect and credit to both of u , stay safe and well and thks again taking the time sharing these with us

Wow 👌 👏🏼 😍 👍🏻 beautiful job. I'm looking forward to next Sunday.

Wow, this is impressive cant wait for the next instalment , i could binge watch this stuff.

60k kilometres and a wrecked engine, absolutely unbelievable. A very bad advert for LR. Great video.

Wow! I'm exhausted just watching that... ... frankly, Amazing!

Brilliant work! Well done to you both. Such a great milestone achievement! P.S. - I love the colour. The Disco looks great in navy blue.

That’s incredible…. The effort is absolutely amazing!!!

Best way to start a sunday. Warn cup of coffee and a new video. Great job as always.

Guten Sonntag send Vera & Christian. That was absolutely fantastic and I didn’t want it to end 😩 👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Great video and a charming couple. As a British person I am so embarrassed that LR cannot do reliability on their more recent offerings...

You guys are insane and awesome. Looking forward to this series!

Wow! Hats off to you! Daunting process the first time around. Getting it back on will be even more interesting.

Hi just watching your video in australia and it’s inspirational , I’ve owned one of these cars and had a nightmare time trying to repair and I gave up in the end . So I’m glad your having a win fixing this car , great mechanical teamwork and nice people . Good luck .

Another great episode, these two are amazing.

Great vlog and content excellent as usual. Thank you for informative entertaining content. Looking forward to see what the issue was next week 👍

My wife and I love watching your videos together. Keep up the good work.

Love the two “C’s” of this channel: The content & the couple! Can’t wait for to see the engine breakdown.

Christian and Vera mr & mrs super people what a double act just love how you work together 👍🧢🇬🇧

That’s one complicated bit of machinery! Great progress. Very well!

Wow! Thank you for sharing this so much. I just purchased 2014 that had a catastrophic engine failure. This video is undoubtedly helpful-cheers from Scottsdale, Arizona.

Just wow! Body off and engine out that fast! Huge respect

I've done engine swaps on Defenders but this Disco 4 body off is in another league. Chapeau. You are a great team; informative and entertaining.

Love watching you two ❤get lots of help/information and always done with great humour 😂❤

I’m replacing the inner rear plastic arches next week in my D4, that’s far enough for me technically on my driveway! Great work as always, looking forward to the seeing the progress.

Some wheel dolly's would come in handy when moving the chassis about. Another great video as always.👍

@15.22, my dad is 95 in May, he gave up riding motorcycles at 89!, Happy Birthday to your dad

Wow Christian you are the man. Big big job . I will continue watching. Good luck. You can do it.

Fantastic video yet again. It is a pleasure to see how your equipment and techniques are progressing with time very relatable for all us diy-ers, also wish I'd have a lift for my brick god knows it needs more and more attention as time goes on😅

Great video guys, well done for taking on such a big job at home, very impressed and your a good team

Always wanted to see this process. Scary as hell, but very interesting.

when he said that if his wife was there you would’ve heard 5 omg’s i busted out last laughing!👍🏿😂 Good content, keep em coming!

No One can Ever call you stupid! Amazing

Another excellent video guys👍 I have to say that looked like a hardcore operation but I’d say you’re going to be quicker the next time,,, 😅so so looking forward too see what happens with the engine dismantling. Till next week be safe guys.

What a fantastic job well done, so soothing to watch 👍👏

What a fantastic job you both are doing your an inspiration to all mall crawler owners 😊😊😊

“Clunk of stuff” An excellent description !

Once again, you go beyond amazing! I kinda suspect you do a LOT of research before tackling something as major as taking the body such a complex piece of machinery. Vera, You are his inspiration and rock and we haven't heard so many OMGs as we usually do - but they always crack me up! Thank you both, for the best car show on You Tube! Do Patreons get a free

It’s great to be watching this process. In the shop, we really don’t think too much about creating tools, as we have them there. Plenty of others around too, and remind us “hey don’t forget THAT” or “that you don’t have to do yet”. Great respect for being able to do this big job in your own! I hope we’re all beginning to realize the engineer’s thoughts: “everything is real easy to do on this engine, you just need to take off the body!”

Top video. Nicely explained Adam. I'd never of found the adjuster .

ITS LR TIME 😊😊😊 HAPPY MOTHERS DAY VERA🎉🎉🎉 ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO AGAIN.GREAT ORGANISATION,WILL MAKE IT SO MUCH EASIER WHEN EVERYTHING IS GOING BACK TOGETHER.VERY DAUNTING BUT EXCITING PROJECT.LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT INSTALLMENT.GREAT TO SEE YOUR DAD HELPING OUT.GREETINGS FROM DUBLIN,IRELAND 😃😃😃

Wow..way to go...I do all my repairs on the driveway including engine out ......but you two doing a body lift off job is altogether another level....saw your previous Land Rover engine rear build and that was fantastic...a crankshaft failure at that low a milage is crazy but for Land Rover it's quite common...I can't believe how many bloggs I've seen on crankshaft failures for this model...

Amazing work, much respect !!!

A master class in body and engine removal.Amazing what you both achieve

22.14 seconds of absolute comedy. Well done. Waiting and wanting more.

I am just amazed what a talented Guy you are , where does your talent end. amazing stuff .
