Land Rover Discovery 3: How we replace brake lines

Our LR3 did not pass the German TÜV inspection because of the rosty break lines. See in this video how we replace them. We also show how to flare the ends. This is the first of three videos of this big service job:
1. How to replace the brake lines (this video)
2. How to do corrosion protection on the chassis (soon)
3. How to service the electric parking brake module EPB (soon)
Our videos are not intended as a "how to guide". Working on brakes and underneath of vehicles may be dangerous and our approach is for entertainment only and not intended as an instruction. Work safe!
Do not stress your wife more than necessary when doing such repairs. Excessive work on cars together with your wife can result in mental stress and a divorce. Do at your own risk.
Your wife may complain more than Vera during the repairs. This is a completely normal behavior - don´t worry. I cut out 3/4 of the complaining and it may seam harmless now. Take your wife shopping at least once per repaior job or join her doing her favourite things at least twice during a repair - this makes things easier. Let her drive the car more often and compliment her. Let her do the talking and you should be fine.
Driving a Land Rover Discovery 3 requires a certain passion to this vehicle. Do not buy this car if you got two left hands and an expensive dealer for repair jobs, unless you are rich.
Thank you for watching our videos. Check out the wheel bearing repair and you may end up buying a LR3 and get hooked. 9.5 l/100km or 29 mpg of Diesel.

Your wife is amazing. Fun tough partner and always happy
😊🙋♀️ Vera
Vera is becoming the star of this channel. You must never let her divorce you no matter how much she may want to.
Hello Allen, I will do my best. Have a good start in 2021.
@@Vera_and_Christian And the same to you both. In your own small way, I think it is fair to say your channel has brought some much-needed fun to many people in a challenging year. Thank you very much.
@@Vera_and_Christian Oh, and job well-done with the brake lines! I wish I had a service pit on my garage. Never have seen one here in California. I wonder if it is common on Germany? Does it have a drain or pump?
Thank God I have land cruiser,, 35 years driving Toyota land cruiser in Ireland,, but I'm learning from u folks,,, we have 4 land cruisers on our farms,, from 99 to 22,,but love your engineer skills,, and German sence of humor,, 🔧🔨🍺
Let me film you while you are complaining!! , your grasp of English humour is outstanding!!
Wonderful quote from Vera - "I know everything" - great video (again). PF-2021
Hello John, thanks for the wishes. Yesterday i was looking for my contact cleaner for an hour... i wanted to fix a bad contact of the SRS connector. Could not find it and Vera was not around. Once she was back, she found it in 30 seconds (and made sure that I know about it). Have a good start in 2021.
You have an absolute gem of a partner in Vera
Thanks Malcom. I fully agree.
You are a lovely couple....its fun seeing your (our) repairs!! LOL
Thanks.
Great video again. Great job. And you 2 are the most funny Germans i ever see. Keep healthy. And a good 2021, with a lot of LR time video's. Cheers.
Thanks Raymond. Have a good start in 2021.
You have a pit in your garage, I'm jealous! I wish I had a pit in my garage. Anyway another great vid & a job well done. 👍
Yes, we are lucky to have this old pit. It is a bit short and way too deep but it helps a lot. Thanks.
Another great video, love how you just get on and fix things with enthusiasm.
Thanks.
Hello everyone. It’s good to read clean funny comments instead of the crap on most other sites.
You made that look easy! 😊 I need a pit in my garage! Vera always smiling 😃... Merry Xmas all.
Thanks a lot. I was a good Christmas job for sure.
I think that you are a really great RUclips channel, you are also quite funny and it nice watching someone who is very knowledgeable
Thanks Matteo. Getting positive feedbackis very rewarding.
We love you Vera, we wish our wives had your enthusiasm, patience and vroom! Gpx
😅👍🙏🙋♀️Vera
Ihr seid der absolute Hammer!
Came across you two this morning, I must say I love your enthusiasm, the both of you ! Thanks
Thanks, we appreciate it. 👍
Great craftsmanship. A man who likes to do the job properly.
Christian I have been doing brake pipes for more than 50 years and yours are way better than mine.
Very neat.
Hi nice work and well presented again
Copper brake lines should not be used because vibration will cause the copper to work harden and fracture
In the UK cupronickel is popular as it has superior corrosion resistance and does not fatigue fracture like copper
Hello Leslie, I agree. Land Rover should issue a Bulletin to allow use of copper nickel lines. Many other manufacturers have that done already. Thanks for your comment. Have a good start in 2021.
Excellent job. Well done.
Awesome video again,thanks.
You guys are awesome, love the videos
Thanks Joe.
Another great video from a wonderful and inspiring couple 😉👍
Love watching all your videos, you both are so fun to watch. Merry Christmas 🎄👍
Thanks. Have a good start in 2021!
Another amazing video. I think I’m always amazed out how many tools, fasteners, widgets and whatnots that you have :) oh, and anything you don’t have, you are able to build/make. Really enjoy watching these vids.
Merry Christmas.
Thanks Dave. We try to our best and enjoy this a lot. Have a good start into 2021.
You two make a great team. Love your positive can do attitude.. keep it up.
😃👍 Thanks🙋♀️Vera
I think this is a job I will have to do soon! Really love your video’s!
Thanks.
Another awesome collaboration with a great result, your sense of humour is fantastic. Thanks for sharing and hope that the New Year is kind to you, Cheers.
Thanks BigKev. Have a good start in 2021.
Great job and fun to watch.
Thanks.
Macht bitte weiter. Viel Spaß und Gesundheit in 2021!
Vielen Dank! Es geht bestimmt bald weiter....
You both are a great team!
Thanks.
Nicely done! Great couple👍🏻
Thanks.
Job well done I admire your dedication to the LR3 👊👍
Thanks.
Again another great video... You two work so well together. Enjoyable, funny and interesting. Happy New year to your family.
Thanks. Have a good start in 2021.
Nice to have a willing helper.
Thanks. Yes, I help Vera where I can.
Great work and interesting to watch.
Thanks.
Good job this will help give other people advice and confidence 👍
Thanks.
“You’re so mean to me.” He is isn’t he, I’ve noticed this a lot.. Naughty man! You should have let him make his own meal Vera.. 😉😉
Good job guys. Well done as usual. Happy new year.
Thanks Fox Pro, a happy new year to you to. 🙋♀️ Vera
Great video again the camera quality is spot on now. Can’t wait to get my disco 3.
Thanks!
Well done, need to do the same pipes on mine as had an advisory on the UK MOT test, your video will help me really thank you for taking the time to film and so descriptive
You are welcome. Good luck with this job and the MOT test.
Hi, I have learn't so much from your videos, thanks. I have also learn't a bit about fixing Discovery 3's.
That's so great, keep on fixing and learning. It is actually a lot of fun.👍🙋♀️Vera
Great job guys. I would just bring mine to my LandRover specialist.
Thanks.
Great job
Thanks.
Ok, I just need to come out and say it. I’m green with envy about your garage pit. I’m just beside myself with jealousy. I’m a Toyota owner but my Prius has a buzzing rattle. One day I’ll find it and fix it Great video
😀👍🙋♀️Vera
Merry Christmas vera and Christian and your family. Great video it's good to see your wife taking part in your repairs I hope she's learning a lot from you and maybe she will be able to do repairs on her Freelander. I look forward to seeing the next videos and I wish you both happy new year 👍👍🍾🥂.
Ralph
Hello Ralph, thanks. Vera knows where the tools and materials hide and she does help a lot. Her Freelander is really never broke. It has 220T km on the clock andnever acts up. This car is way better than it´s reputation. Have a good start in 2021.
I love your videos! You make me laugh
Hi,you have done very good job))))
Afternoon Vera Christian. It’s great fun watching you both 🤣 Your videos are very educational with good humour making fixing it for others relaxing 😀 I’ve looked at purchasing one since watching your videos lol 😂 a 2007 with a 134,000 miles on the click for £2500 😆 But our road tax is nearly £600 a year 😩 Take care stay safe guys cheers Stevie 😎🏴
Yes the tax is a lot more than here. 👍 Buying a Disco 3 right now, here in Germany, I have to spend at least 10000€ if it has under 200000km.😨 🙋♀️ Vera
another good video and i did not know about the steel break lines in germany
Yes, this is Germany.
Great job! The frame is so beefy on these, it looks like it will run forever. Just a tank!
You are right 😉🙋♀️ Vera
hi guys, im new here. just found you. You both are really amazing. you just made my day and gave me heads up on the lr3, i was actually thinking of buying the sport. Now im going for the lr3 2009 model.. Thanks guys . i love you both cheers
Thanks. A 2009 is a good value at the moment. Try to get the best possible trim level you can afford. This helps to keep the value up. Ours is a decently equipped SE.
@@Vera_and_Christian Thanks , im glad i joined the family

From a proud Discovery 3 owner. By the way, I’ll never be performing this kind of work on mine. Instead, I put large quantity of anti-corrosion oil twice a year (on April, just after Winter season, and on October, after the Summer season, due to the beach yard corrosion) and my Discovery’s under body seems shiny brand new!
Cheers from Italy.
Hello Angelo, sounds like a good way. Regular maintenance is of most importance on a LR3. We neglected some areas as they are hard to reach and this resulted in extra work now. There will be a video soon how we painted the under chassis.
The big corrosion generating culprit in Germany is that they salt the roads in winter. I live in Australia and despite being close to the ocean and even beach driving there is no rust on our Landcruiser after 22 years. I think Italy don’t salt their roads.
@@monstereisa you are completely right! Although I must say that I live in the northern Italy nearby Austrian - Slovenian border... we also have salty 🧂roads here on winter time ❄️.... but of course nothing compare to the Deutsche ones...
Again a fantastic DIY video, very clear and well explained with lots of humor.
In the video you spoke about prop-shafts and that you know a lot about them. I curious about what you have to tell about them and maybe you can show us how to change the centre bearing ( which was already broken in this video, but at the end the new one was already in, i hope you’ve filmed it). [20:23]
Hello Theo, I am working in/for the automotive industry for more than 20 years, in particular Propshaft manufacturing. It will be a few more weeks before this video is out. Hope it will be interesting 🤔 and include some new content.
You know, in the UK we are allowed to use copper brake lines for the MOT (TuV), it would be a little safer to only allow steel and cheaper. Loved the steel brake line tools you had! You are also amazing at bending those pipes so well.
You know your joke ...same procedure as last year. Would be totally lost on most Brits. We don't get to see "Dinner for one" AKA "90th birthday" every Christmas like you do in Germany and for sure Sweden where its all part of the Christmas experience. Sad really, that we don't get to see Miss Sophie and James getting wasted (drunk) like you do. Keep those videos coming!
Thanks. I bend whole morning on those lines but the Timelapse made it look like I knew what I am doing 😂. On some vehicles copper is approved as long as there is a statement from the manufacturer. LR did not issue one as far as I know. Christian
The off side rear boot mine was doing the same so I just put the clamp at the top only and cleaned the lower part of the air shocker with wire wool and put some grease on the lower air shock free to move as you raise the suspension all good now 3 years on also mine was a Brit part part £23
Hello Dan, the shock is really scratched up and maybe it is no longer slipping up/down. I will try to fix this. Thanks and have a good start in 2021,
Please come and do mine, lm terrified of looking underneath the old girl, for what l may find and need doing. Christian l have already seen this posting, but always worth viewing again just to see Vera’s lovely smiling face, keep up the good work
😃👍🙋♀️ Vera
I feel your pain! I've been preparing my Disco for the Swiss MFK for the last month. Oil cooler gasket tomorrow...
When I did the rear brake lines I bought the LR parts and cut them in half. Saved a whole load of time. (Think Prop shaft centre bearing!)
I could not get them out of the UK because of the lock down. I buy my parts at AdvancedFactors. Great guys working there.
I bought now a cheap chineese propshaft for unbelivable 130 Euro. I will make a video about the differences to the brand name GKN drioveshaft. After that is installed, I inted to make a video about replacing the center bearing. I work in the drive shaft industry and I should be able to do this...
have a nice end of year! see you next year
Thanks, you too Jigo.
Your wife is fantastic she works well with you
Thanks!
I Have the same brake line tool it is Fantastic
“The brake fluid tastes sweet” ♥️
There is never a dull day with land rover issues that lead to repair 😱 my line began to leak once I also touch the rusty line in the plastic line holder and I replaced all rotors and pads the pad holder with slide pin seized then snapped off then caliber boots started leaking , land rover have many secrets that come to light that none talks about that you discover while doing simple repair , my lower dash cigarette 12v power plug wasn't working good so I bought a new replacement 12v power plug I removed lower dash unplugged 3 connection for some strange reason I was going to start rover it would not start so I got out my jumper no start I left battery on charger all night , next morning battery fully charged still no crank no start in thinking WTF.. .... So I thought I finish the new 12v plug reconnect the 3 plugs to the 2 12v plug put dash back new plug works good then I thought I see if rover will start now , somebody shut the front door she fired 🔥up like new money , just learn if the lr3 land rover has something unplugged or not in its normal condition with all plugs in the rover won't start , it like having a smart car , you never bought , next time I go home the brake line job is next to do 😰
I just replaced my driver and passenger side with flexible brake line all the way through. Much easier that trying to replace the old line
Yes, I am sure that is easier and more efficient. But as Germans, we must do things in the most complicated way...
Brilliant videos guys do you have one on replacing front brack lines? Thanks keep up the great videos
The superior Amazon wrench!!!
Yes, Amazon is great. Thanks.
Молодцы!
😃👍 Thank you🙋♀️
Great video ,,,O MY GOG
That’s one thing my car will need to get in spring, mines do look kinda rusty, uncle TÜV said nothin, but better be safe than sorry. I fear that this is something that will need some more room under the car than my usual „ no lift no trench“ mentality
This job was not easy done, even with a pit. But someone who removed a engine without body off can do it for sure. Looking forward to your next video.
@@Vera_and_Christian well I really think so it can be done :) - I am working on a Heater core removal and flush right now, hope this will be done today
Hi Christian, I loved the video! You make things look so easy! I'm eagerly awaiting the rust prevention video. Could you tell me in the meantime what rust preventer product you used? It looks really good, like new underneath now. Well done and Happy New year to you both. All the best 😊 From North Wales, UK.
Google A005989642009. This is a Mercedes Benz part number. This stuff is actually made in the UK! It requires a special air nozzle to spray it on. This is a protective layer only. As a primer, I used a product called Rostio (made in Germany). You could use any high end primer, for example out of the farm equipment world.
I am working on the video but I am back at work and have little time right now. Thanks. Christian
Hi guys I’d try some ACF 50 on your corrosion on your underbody , I’ve sprayed it all over the engine bay and it’s come out very clean. The stuff is worth some research
Thanks for the tip. We used different stuff. All the products will be in one of our next videos.
25:12 made me laugh out loud!
I like your videos a lot.. you are like me. we ha so much in common... But if i could advice you... Lift the body off then brake lines job is a piece of cake, also EPB module is much much better accessible. Drive shaft, you can check for some leaks on engine, corrosion protection is much easier to do.. Sometimes do not worth to fiddle under the car for so long. :)
Thanks. We would take the body off if we would have a lift on our property. It is important to us to do everything with the tools available to us and not to go somewhere else.
@@Vera_and_Christian anyway great video.
I am always happy to see your videos because you have an LR3 and so do I and you bring the right mood, I try too!
My LR3 is from 2005 and with 316,000 km I just noticed that the cardan bearing needs to be replaced, why do you have to change the cardan shaft and not just the bearing? Good luck. (Google translation) Belgique
We will release the first video about our problems with the cardan shaft either this week or next week. Maybe it will answer your question. We are really happy that you enjoy our videos and your LR3. 🙋♀️ Vera
:^)) 'Same procedure as every year!' is a seasonal German reference, as this is the last line in the much loved 1963 'Dinner for One' tv sketch starring Freddie Frinton and May Warden, shown every year since at New Year on German tv (and in many other countries).
Yes, this is where it´t from. We watch it every year since 45 years...
Exactly! A great reference and I use it whenever I can. The strange thing is though that almost no-one in England knows about it - unless they worked for a German company.....
Copper brake lines are so much better in my mind! I've replaced the majority of all of my old ones on my old series Land Rovers with them. Why is it that they are not allowed in Germany? Apologies if you mention this later in the video, I'm halfway through watching while writing this. Regards, Ted UK 🇬🇧
Copper brake lines are legal now in Germany, but were not back then when we purchased our parts. This video is at least 2-3 years old.👌👍🙋♀️
Anytime is LR time 😁
Nice video.
Good luck with your centre bearing.
I have tried to replace the seperate centre bearing once myself but ended up installing a brand new drive shaft aswell..
Is Vera ever not smiling??
Thanks. We will install a new propshaft and later on try to repair the original one just for giggles. May end up in a decent video.
Another great video, what have you used to spray the chassis down with for rust protection?
Look at this video we published, also the names / links of the products we use are in the video description.ruclips.net/video/Kbl6CD3BGN4/видео.html 🙋♀️ Vera
Merry Christmas! What product did you end up using for the corrosion?
Will be in the next video(s). I actually used a product from Mercedes Benz. I thought that this fits a German (and the product is made in the UK). Could not fit better. Very sweet stuff. Worked great and easy to apply.
@@Vera_and_Christian Excellent! I just took care of some corrosion on my vehicle recently too. I’m looking forward to the next videos.
Greetings from Melbourne. Australian cars have comparatively very little surface rust, as the roads are not salted in winter.
Sorry I do not know what causes the rubber boots to rip.
Great video thank you. Was it an inverted or a bubble flare?
We used this flaring tool, www.amazon.de/gp/product/B01B5GJ6KW/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1. I am not sure if it's calles an inverted or bubble flare. 🙋♀️ Vera
Hi guy, what anti corrosion product do you use ! Great content videos 👌👍
Here is a link to our video ruclips.net/video/Kbl6CD3BGN4/видео.html In the video description are the products, we used, listed. 👍🙋♀️Vera
I just clicked on to one of your Amazon items and I can't read German. haha I didn't realize that Amazon was in multiple languages. You have very strict vehicle inspections, if we had those here we would have 1/3 of our vehicles off the roadways.
You are right about that. And you could not mount all those great aftermarket parts, which we European offroad drivers are jealous about. 😅👍🙋♀️ Vera
just replaced the gears in the brake unit because its was faulty red light flashing on dash , opened the unit its and the c clip on the slipper clutch gear had come off in mine , and the slipper gear had siezed on its self , replaced the gears and opon fitting the unit back on noticed the brake pipe line leaking in the excact place as yours , thinking maybe a common place to check very very tiny leak, nothing really what would really notice on the roa,d but if its that brittle and had snapped could be another story, worth checking guys in a very hard place to spot can probley see why it may get missed under a MOT test,
Yes, there are several spots like this. Thanks. Christian
I saw a drip at 2:20 and thought you were going to miss it.
The workshop manual says you have to change the whole prop shaft with the bearing.
Propshaft is on order. I wonder how long this bearing is lose allready... It may not really matter.
Great and informative video. :) I have to replace the rear brake lines on my Disco3. Rust was discovered at the MOT (TUF). :O Do you know the dimensions of the pipes, and the couplings? I have to make new lines, just as you did. But i will use copper. :)
All materials we used are in the video description. Copper is not allowed in Germany but would be the better option. Christian
Really nice 👌 😍💋 💝💖❤️
How did you manage to flare those original steel pipes? I cannot do them with a hand held flaring tool, the pipe just slips through the tool. Any tips would be great.
Hallo,
Quick question. For the front did you connect the new line to the wheels or you did the same as for the back wheels? Waldo worlds who mentions you guys :), went and replaced them from the abs pump.
What do you guys recommend?
Also a super useful video and encouraging.
We only replaced the corroded sections. Waldo lives in New Hampshire and there is more corrosion than here in Germany. Christian
How the hell is your English so good?
I see that you allready make the corrosion protection. Can you show the work and material ?
You should fit a light two of them in your pit it helps working on the car
👍 We have light, and use it, but turn it off when filming because it flickers on video. Not every detail makes it onto the final cut. 🙋♀️
👏🏽✊🏽🇳🇴❤️🍀
A full new prop shaft is £99 I put a new one on from Ebay 🇬🇧👍😁
We got the new propshaft now in the garage. That will be a funny video for sure. It was 134 € and it is chineese made. The quality does not compare to the original GKN shaft.
please tell me the small jack is rated for the Land Rover, its a heavy old beast, I saw someone working with one but it wasn't rated to lift a Discovery, scared me to death thinking if it failed
Don't woory, we only used it to lift the car for a short moment to put the jack stands underneath. Usually we use our big jack, I actually don't know why he didn't use it. I am personally very afraid all jacks and jack stands, don't trust them a bit. And of course it will be my fault when something goes wrong 😂. Thanks for your comment and take care. Vera
Christian, there is an ecu brake bleed program that will make your brakes much better by getting rid of air that you can't remove through normal brake bleeding. Do you have a gap iid tool?
I ran the program as I thought my brakes weren't as good as they should be and it took 20mins and replaced a litre of brake fluid. I think it replaces old fluid stuck in the abs pump. It was black! And I bleed my brakes regularly
Hello Jack, I only have a regular Obd2 tool. The regular bleed procedure will not replace all fluid. Maybe I need to get me a gap tool because I get this question a lot. It’s quite expensive so. Thanks for the hint and have a good start into 2021.
@@Vera_and_Christian thanks Christian, I think it's the best accessory you can buy for the disco! I had to use my abs one time to avoid a collision and after that my brakes were really bad, hence why I used the gap tool and procedure and it was a big difference.
Sounds like you have bearing gone or control arm joints need checking
Hello Garry, we hope not. We just fixed the wheel bearing in a previous video. In the videos before the fix of the wheel bearing, you can actually notice that the car was much louder. Audio inside the car is difficult to record.
do you have a link to the brake lines used on this job ! .
No, we don't. But you will be able to find the correct ones if your are able to do that job. 👍👌🙋♀️
In Germany you can do by yourself brake works and be accepted by TUV inspector ?
Yes, but not commercially for money. No issue for yourself or family . Christian
@@Vera_and_Christian Thanks
