If you drink every time Alex says "happy days", you will be unable to see more than 1/3 of an episode before you are not allowed to drive home😂

Love Tom attitude to business. Here is the price fitted with vat for 1) the genuine land rover part Or if available AND of decent quality 2) a quality after market price These are the bits that are needed, and these are the parts that will improve the car, but not vital IMHO.

Normally a autoalex episode without taylor isn't as good but I've got to say tom makes up for it

Getting some major Art Attack vibes from Alex's look today, just waiting for him to bust out the paint

This is why we call them Disco 3 grand whenever they come into the workshop because they normally need that much to fix them 😂😂😂

I have had - and worked on - the same car for 8 years. And never, not once, have I ever got the car to a point where everything is fixed!

I love how your crew has turned into a little top gear it's great

Tom looks like an absolute giant in comparison...how tall is he? 5ft 11in?

Tom killed me when he said "you're in striking distance"

You have to respect a man who's still rockin cargo shorts, in 2023, even when he says Range Rovers are reliable.

Don’t forget to change the oil pump when you do the belts as they are prone to breaking and destroying the engine - modified pump is t expensive ask Tom when he does belts

Beer 52 & Wine 52 make it nearly impossible to leave, you have to call them and beg to cancel, they will still try and suspend it for a month or 2. Nice beer and wine bad practices

Tom seems like a great bloke hats off to him 🙌

Tom is hang overed, heres a beer ad.

If it’s saying you’re getting 36-37mpg I’d suggest the on board computer needs adding to the list of broken parts. Not a chance, not even down hill

Love my disco 3, had it 5 years and it’s brilliant - does everything!!

Love the work Alex and team are doing! Introducing us to some epic people!

LR Time have many videos about engine diagnosis, engine overhauls and body off work to remove the motor to replace a snapped crankshaft etc. They however love their LR Discoveries.

What a great guy you've found Alex for repairs to another JLR quality product. Don't take the mick, you're probably gonna need him again, great video to boot.

I love when Tom retorts to the legally binding trade price. Bloody classic.

This place is where everyone should take their Land Rovers/Jaguars. What an amazing team and owner 👍

I can't believe that you've got both a Jag and a Land Rover and haven't invited Garreth to have a look yet

Alex is a true master of negotiation 😂😂😂😂😂😅😅😅 he should start his own master class 😂😂😂

Always found LR parts online to be pretty good for parts when I had disco 3, Next day delivery is also a bonus. They offer aftermarket or oem parts

Alex - Pete’s paintwork looks fantastic but your exterior plastic trim is letting him down. You need some Gtechniq C4 (the big bottle) … probably two, just to be safe. Clean the plastic, dry it then apply the C4 and have a light pass with a microfibre cloth to take off the excess. Fantastic stuff.

I really like Tom and his boys. They're actually hilarious

My d3 is on 240000 miles and doesn’t skip a beat! Used daily as a work vehicle and family vehicle and I can’t fault it. Payed £1800 for it with it needing front arms and rear bushes. Now owes me around £2500 but I’d say it’s payed for itself over the 2 years I’ve owned it.

Alex making tom a rich man

I remember driving exactly the same in 2011, low miles. I absolutely loved it and still say it's one of the best vehicles I've driven. I'm a mechanic and driven a lot.

Our disco is pretty much a twin to yours - 55 plate, same colour, same interior, also HSE, except we have the DVD player ;). We've spent a fair chunk when we first bought it to make it solid, new belts, water pump, oil pump

Thanks Alex for being such a gent at the Bathams tent IOMTT2023 and my selfie!

Great video alex and I have a bit of experience with discovery 3s and when something goes wrong it a bit of a pain to do

Sold to Bms salvage for scrap £495 in April 2023. Reconditioned gearbox and New front prop shaft and half shaft 2019 £4500 5 of the glow plugs are wrecked Wiring on drivers side for fog lights etc are worn through to the copper wires. Rear parking brake shoes, passenger are u/s holding clip broke and wrecked shoes and rear inside of brake disc, also parking brake module broken, needs to be stripped and reset or replaced( not a wire pulled back ). Drivers rear lower control arm as a 1 inch deep cut ( angle grinder cut into it to replace the anti roll bar link that disintegrated when it fell off the axle stand, also both back plates on rear hubs nearly not existing. Had a new steering rack 2019 due to original splitting down the seam. Judder at 60mph going down hill usually around roseworthy dip in Cornwall stops if you pull over! How do I know it was my death trap I got rid off. Your welcome x

I'd like to see you do a video on a gen 4 Subaru legacy Spec B estate. whether it's just a test drive or adding it to the collection! Cheap + fast + practical + all wheel drive

I want to buy a discovery just to go see Tom he sounds like a real nice guy

alex in this car must feel like a kid in push trolley

AutoAlex always a good laugh, thanks for the content 👍

Love Taylor and Rory’s channel. 👍

Tom seems like a genuine fella!

I forgot how scary uk prices were. I live in Bulgaria and I have a 2000 LDV Convoy with the 2.5 di banana motor. 2nd hand fuel pump, lift pump, timing belt kit, water pump, steering belt, alternator belt, oil and filter, air and fuel filters, antifreeze... 300 quid. Yes I had to do the work but hey.. Next are the tie rods at a devastating 35 quid...

What Tom said about a well sorted Disco is spot on, They are such practical things when you look after them :-)

Love this, Alex. On another note, more motorbike content, please !!!

“Am I going to spend all of your two grand? Yeh, and a little bit more” 😂

Worth checking if it’s had an upgraded oil pump while timing belts getting done, Don’t want that tensioner mounting point breaking off 🤢

....Happy days, damn I´m drunk now. Damn nice episode, Tom is a no-bullshit man, that is how I would like to be treated like as a customer.

Great engines that definitely don’t have weak camshafts or oil starvation issues. Some people not even getting 50k miles without a complete lemon engine. Definitely good engines. 🤣

2:01 Is that the Supercharged AJ16S that is going into the XJC? It looks totally amaze-balls!!!! 😍😍😍

Dude you're killing me, Kaža B says I have to do a shot every time you say Happy Days !!!

“No no it’s rusted away “ 😂😂😂 love how Alex admitted he’s a short arse straight away 😂

Why price for a replacement propshaft when he already said it looked relatively new. You can replace just the centre bearing. No need to replace the whole shaft. £30 ish pound for the bearing, 1 hour or 2 to replace. £150-£200 all in.

Alex out here looking like he's about to present an episode of Art Attack. ;)

Great video mate and finally some more merch coming 👏

Get the work done, Give the underside the Lanoguard treatment and it's golden 👌

I had same model but in Zambezi silver. Had all the same issues…. Just wait for the Glowplug problem and when that air suspension cylinder goes ‘BANG’ like mine did

I love watching Ur videos😊

We asked for more Tom. We got more Tom. More Tom please.

Yes yes yes something to keep me entertained this weekend

The "I'll do it for 15" guy 🤣🤣🤣

Tom sounds like a solid guy quoting aftermarket as well as genuine prices plus he is only supplying good parts (wheel bearing for instance) - Lets face it, JLR make nothing except body and trim so why not

Great video, Tom should join the team... Big Pete's going to mint in the end eh?

13:53 reverse lights are broken.

Love seeing the videos mate well done

That is one mighty good bargain of a motor car, even with all those jobs done. Here in Spain you'd be looking at €20k+ for one of those. Look after it and it will last a very long time.

I'd love that landy that's for sure! Need it in my life😂

This guy is a such a mechanic

He's going to have to relocate his business now 🤣🤣

Good sponsor 👍🏻

just started listening to the Car Throttle podcast ❤

I have just learned why the bloke at the garage wrote "offside trackrod FKT" on my quote... THANKS ALEX

Thanks for another great video Alex, greeting from Denmark

Heavy vehicle eats bushes, standard ... at least youve got a vibrating shaft for everyones pleasure!!!

Always Polybush (the brand) for land rovers, we've still got bushes on vehicles that are 40 years old!! Been all around the world

Can't you replace only the centre bearing for the rear propshaft with OE ref TVB500360?

Bit of a shocker about detachable towbars. Have a factory one on a Q7. Audi says will pull 3500kg laden ?

Perhaps some reverse light bulbs too Alex :)

so long as you're not one of the unfortunates (both 2.7 & 3.0 versions) that grenade their crank due to the engine design flaws!

“Oooh I lav maself a lan rover” - Always comes into my head for some reason no idea where I got it from. But yeah I love discos, DEFENDERS, standard Range Rovers (any gen from 1st till now), RR sports, especially 1st gen, and 1st gen evoques especially the most pointless, stupid, nonsensical convertible one. Back in 2012 my 1st car was gonna be a lovely 96 Disco I found for £600 until I saw the insurance costs for a 17 year old, at the time “student and voice actor”. Ended up with a leased a Hyundai i10 from my mom instead. :/ Not. Bad car but badly built at the time, the mirrors lost the adjustment within months and the mirror part would just fall down and need constant adjustment. What I really wanted was my moms old car I begged her not to scrap it in 09, it was a 1993 Purple Audi 100 Estate, I loved that car. Same with the one she replaced it with which was an 08 Estima imported from Japan recently scrapped due to f’innUles and replaced with some boring mid range Toyota… >\ I think I got distracted where was I? Oh yeah, love land rovers! Great vid, Alex!

Just ordered my first lot of beers thank you

no one mentioning the elephant in the room, the TDV6

top garage that . very honest geezer

Should have got a X5 pal 😂😂👍

Sounds like a bargain to me. 👌

Great vid as always...happy days....etc etc etc

listening to those prices, I'm happy I own a '05 Civic 😂

This video makes me miss my Disco 4 a lot, however i really don't miss the bills. My parking brake broke, and it cost me £1000 to fix, so it was quickly renamed the Grandbrake

I had a Range Rover Sport based on the Disco 3. Hateful car. Never thought the air suspension was all that. Mine worked fine and after the initial novelty of going up and down, it wasn’t up to much. Every component on it was ludicrously expensive. LR centre we’re reasonable enough on prices but when it’s a few hundred quid for each drive shaft and gearboxes are known to go and is a body off job to change? No thanks. Glad to see the back of it.

As an American who lives in Alaska. Seeing the cars he buys for the prices he pays is so tough. Man I wish cars were that cheap here.

If they replaced everything that had "a little bit of play" then everybody would have a massive bill. A car is only perfect (mostly) for 3 years and then it's all down hill from there.

I have to say I quite enjoy working on land rover chassis items but well never tire of turning body off wngine work away😂

12.33 - 12.40, that's the speed my staff work at when on an hourly rate!

Babe wake up… Alex uploaded again

What’s better for daily driving. Towing and everything manual or auto?????

Just replace the bearing on the driveshaft if it's the carrier. They do make them even if parts shops say they don't.

Xlifter is a great mod

thanks for the free promo. I'm defo using this deal for free beers

Great Video as always ❤

Someone count how many times Alex said "Happy days"

This is way better then car throttle

If the reservoir is rusting, replace it. You'll have to do it eventually and the replacement will out live your ownership of the vehicle so why wait? If you wait for a leak and don't spot it immediately, you run the risk of overworking your air pump, so that's another few 100 quid to replace. Just fit a new tank. What about the oil pump? Has it already been replaced? If not, get it done with the timing!
