UPDATE 29/8/2022:
We found the owner of the GoPro - or he found us... He is from Paris in France and we returned the GoPro to him! The camera was not registered at GoPro.
Join us on our trip through the western Alps between Italy and France. We did find a lost GoPro on the trail down from Col du Parpaillon, lost by a French gravel bike athlete.
We hope you enjoy the video as much as we enjoyed making it.
Thanks for watching,
Vera & Christian
In the Video we use our GAPIID tool to reset the faults on our LR Discovery 3. We also have a Icarsoft I930 OBDII tool.

Germans with good sense of humour. York channel is brilliant.
😃🙏🙋♀️Vera
Yes, as David Handley says your videos can be watched all day every day. How on earth does Vera manage to run up and down mountains and still be up first to make your coffee? Lucky Vera found that GoPro and hopefully the owner sees your posts and claims it, let us know how that goes.
Yes, will inform about the GoPro. Christian
Great to see you using the Discovery for its intended purpose and in such amazing scenery
Hopefully they can return in it!!
Vera talks English just like my late Mother. Brought back many pleasant memories.

Love Switzerland! We have a collection of vignette stickers in our Campervan too 😍
Great channel you have! We’re thinking of adding a discovery 4 to our collection so we’ll be watching your videos for inspiration 👌🏼
A really inspiring couple!
Nice video, I drove the Col du Parpaillon 2 weeks ago in my Land Rover Discovery 2 (video on my channel), on my way from the UK to Sardinia. Its a great track.
Loved this video !! Passing a 4x4.. that was a Mehari.. perfect for those passes. Super soft 2cv suspension and small. Thanks for sharing some location info. If I'd known about these routes across the Alps in the late 80s when I lived in UK I would have taken my range rover. Wow Vera.. running those passes. Quite the athlete.
I see Vera's 2 wheel drive ( legs) just works as good as the 4x4LR3 🤗🤗🤗
Another spectacular video from #LRTime, thanks you two!!!
Yesterday I was torquing some bolts on my Landrover and I said to myself "Click, Click" without thinking about it. I had to laugh, as Christian has wormed his way into my head!!! Neat country to drive through and impressive fitness for Vera. Thank you.
😅💪👍🙋♀️Vera
These are my favorite types of videos that you make.
Thanks Allen. I think next Sunday will be part two… or the drive shaft replacement… or an other vehicle we bought. Not sure 🤔 Christian
@@Vera_and_Christian Ooooo, I have been wondering when you would be working on something "new"! I can't wait!
I’m envious of Vera’s fitness, that was some run, I’d definitely be dead after the first few km , Christian I think you had the right idea!
You two are so fantastic! It made my day when I saw you had made this wonderful post. Spectacular. Thank you Vera and Christian and very best wishes to the injured motor bike rider for a smooth recovery.
Thank you Jeffrey 😃🙏🙋♀️Vera
It's like RUclips channel Epic Family Road Trip they let the dog Lando run ahead of their jeep while filming.... LOL
Good on Vera jogging on those rough roads.
Wow Great Video, I had vertigo watching you travel down those mountain tracks !
What a beautiful trail and spectacular vacation! ✌🏾🙌🏾
Vera has the energy for a whole platoon! The views are breathtaking and the LR3 is a beast, love watching you guys
Hope the GoPro owner speaks up, that is some amazing footage he got there
We hope so too. 🙋♀️Vera
Cool that's great to see you guys using the disco for that which it was built for having fun off road and getting the job done. Remember its a model from the legendary Landrover company!
Amazing to know that Vera loves running! Go go go!
Thanks for sharing your vacation with us again Christian & Vera , it’s nice to see what a Land Rover is really for again and not just for school runs and Mall Crawling to Aldi . I guess we have a Driveshaft replacement video “coming soon” to look forward to , which will be so easy now you guys have your 2 post lift . See you next Sunday 😎
Go Vera! What a machine, I was out of breath just from watching her run🥵😂.
I've only just found this channel, but I'm so glad I did. You guys are great!
😅👍Welcome 🙋♀️
What a fantastic watch!
Thanks and all the best.

Love your Videos, every Sunday is like Xmas morning I carnt wait ,thank you both
Hi ! I shared the video in a Facebook group, on the practice of Gravel cycling, you never know 😉
🙏 , but wouldn‘t you believe it, the owner contacted us last Monday and I have already send the GoPro back to him. 😅👍🙋♀️
@@Vera_and_Christian Oh good ! The magic of the internet and social networks 🤣😅✌️
Glad to see you two having a great time. 🙂 I hope those half-shafts have held up this past week. 🙏 Keep having fun, and stay safe!!
I love your mini movies, you two always make me smile, this road trip is beautiful 😍
Great video as usual guys .. but I'm completely worn out after watching Vera running. I need a rest!!
Very fit Vera, you should try swapping the driving and running yourself Christian. Thanks for taking us along on the trip folks.
Good to see Col du Galibier from the comfort of a Discovery rather than my bicycle seat. My legs thank you 😁
Christian won't by me a road bike. There will be a mountain bike ride coming up in part 2. 😅🙋♀️Vera
A lovely video. It's great to see you away from the house and doing what the Discovery was designed to do. Obviously a few things went wrong, but that is to be expected! Hope you had a great trip.
As always loving your videos. Brings back happy memories of our D3 and Howling Moon stargazer rooftop tent in Namibia, along with our trips up Sani pass to Lesotho up 3200 metres. Always stopping and checking the "bing bong" faults with our Nanocomm. However after a single 10,000Km's overland trip we soon learnt to just stop reset the ignition and off we went. Happy days.. Enjoy every moment life is for living and nor a rehearsal 👍
Absolutely, just because there was a bing and bong and the car went into limp mode, does not mean it needs to be towed right away. Always keep your cool and have a diagnostic tool with you. We also just restarted the car and everything was fine. 😃💪🙋♀️Vera
Absolutely fantastic vacation and Vera you are quite mad for running the pass 😄but we’ll done 😱be carful you two 😳Christian try not to get to exhausted with all the driving 😆😝😜
what wonderful scenery, you must have had a great time! Vera must be very fit to do all that running, and still doesn't lose her smile 😉. Nice to see a Disco doing what it was intended to do (apart from going into limp mode). Take care you two!
It did limp mode once. 😂 Christian
It's a part of the experience when driving a LR😁
Very very good..." The only difference is we do not swap anymore " priceless 😅😅 😅
Thanks guys, for another entertaining and educational video.
Thanks for sharing us followers with amazing videos , will put on my bucket list to visit !
I have many youtube subscriptions that I watch regularly and enjoy, but your videos are absolutely the most enjoyable and entertaining - what a sense of humour; and informative 😀. Given all the maintenance issues you have with your Disco's, I will definitely stick with my aging manual Td5 Ser 2. Enjoy your holiday 😀
😅💪👍🙋♀️Vera
Very enjoyable content....nice one.
Fantastic scenery and thank you for showing it to us
Brilliant thanks for posting. We are heading to Switzerland from Jersey next week's in the alps with our dog hopefully no drama. feeling excited 😁
😃💪Have lots of fun🙋♀️Vera
@@Vera_and_ChristianThanks, hope your drive shafts hold up !! ❤
Just found your page on you tube. Great video, I have done a similar trip across the alps in my landrover to👍
That is great, hope you checked out our other Westen Alps Videos. 👍😀🙋♀️Vera
@@Vera_and_Christian I’ve had a quick look but I will watching them all before long. Love your content
Ahh, I love those mountain roads, even though I think of these mountains, somehow naked, without the snow! Do you remember, some decades ago, were those mountains snow covered during summer?
We are pretty far south on these roads and not really high in elevation. The snow-capped mountains of the ALPS are further north, but of course, there is no offroading and there are too many tourists. That is why we never go there. This region we always go to has lots of snow in the winter because it's relative closeness to the Mediteraenian Sea. 🙋♀Vera
Damn Vera, you are super fit! Running at that altitude is no joke!
Guten morgen Christian and Vera. That looked a fantastic adventure for you both in Vera’s LR3 🤣 More content fixing it for LR time when you return 😊 Yes hopefully the motorcyclist isn’t hurt too badly after falling down that hill 😮 Great find that GoPro and hopefully the owner or somebody can recognise it 🤔 Enjoy the rest of your journey this week 👍🏻 Looking forward to seeing part two. Love you both and keep safe 😄
😃Thanks Stevie 🙋♀️Vera
You guys have amazing and informative content but I keep watching because both of you have such a great presence with each other. I think this is a great example of a healthy marriage. Cheers!
😅🙏🙋♀️Vera
Spectaculat scenery!. Diesel cost is about what we were paying in Australia a few months ago, it is less now. Vera must be a very fit lady. Thanks for the video.
Thank you.
Great content! Thank you Vera and Christian
Hi Vera and Christian, Great weather, great views and a great vacation for You Two, of course, without any problems with the LR3 on your journey.
Not major ones. 😅🙋♀️Vera
What a wonderful video, it reminds me of Colorado with the mountain passes, stay safe.
Good god, that is one hell of a woman! You are a lucky man my friend.
Love love love!!! ❤️🤍💚
It's ridiculous how nice you guys are!
😊🙏🙋♀️Vera
Toujours au top 👌😘
Just when you were running out of LR repairs to do and film ... all you need is someone with a 2 post lift .. lol 😁. Great to see you back out on those mountain trails and putting all your work and invention to good use 🙂
Again one nice video.
Thanks.
Excellent video thank you.
The go-pro is mine...it fell off my bike in the Gibson Desert?
In outback Australia, we have camels running in front of the 4x4 on the track and won't get off the track, so you are stuck doing 20km/h. You guys have bikes, motorbikes and Vera's running on the track in front of your 4x4 and some, but not all, get out of the way.
Great episode guys.
Hope that rider recovers quickly and well.
😅👍🙋♀️Vera
brilliant guys
Looked like a video game with you following the red dot that was Vera running ahead 😀
Another great video good to see the Discovery out in the wild and l await the drive shaft repair using the new hoist with interest
That was funny Vera😂😂
Great episode.
Your Holidays look such an adventure. Made better by good old LR!! Your set up is fantastic. Awaiting the srive shaft replacement video in few weeks! 😂
New Cols to explore this year!
Schönes Video. Na, da hat deine Frau ja einen richtigen Marathon hingelegt. :) Und für den leichten Defekt der Achse, habt ihr ja nun auch eine Hebebühne zu Hause. ;)
Very enjoyable. Looking forward to the next part of the trip.
Loved this video. What fun you guys have and of course all the hard work that sits behind it. Well done and if you ever get to Australia you will have a bed at our place in Central Victoria.
Thanks Robert 😃🙏🙋♀️Vera
I have a gopro but didn't know about the lost and found pages ! I'll take a look at the SN now ! Thanks for your videos :)
Didn’t know Vera was a runner? Multi-talented!
Good luck currently half way down France with the re built gearbox in the disc it's unbelievable smooth as silk and feels very powerful 600 miles since re build all going well heading to Carcassonne then via Andorra to Barcelona, happy Holidays
😃💪 Have fun 🙋♀️Vera
Really enjoyable to watch
Vera =. Vera Even Runs Alps. ? Well done, another fun video
Fantastic as ever 😊. You guys need to get the LR3 to the Scottish Highlands 🏴.
yes absolutely 👍🙋♀️Vera
Most enjoyable. Look forward to seeing more of your trip.
Enjoy your holiday
Very nice video,it looks a cool trip,thanks guys
Brilliant
I could watch LR Time all day. It’s always an adventure. Where can I get a girl like Vera from Christian? You two are both lucky that you have each other. Until next week. Happy days. 😄👍🇦🇺
Thanks!
Christian has better comedic timing than Johnny Carson.....I just love his one liners and zingers.
I really enjoy watching you two. You always leave me with a smile on my face.
The owner of the lost gopro was really fast down the dirt trail passing everyone. I hope he shows appreciation getting it back.
I forgot to ask if you used your diesel heater?
No, in Southern Italy and France, it is quiet warm. 🙋♀️Vera
What a fantastic trip..I can't quite think of anywhere with the magnitude of the alpes..would love to drive those tracks and camp..excellent footage xx
Great videos always learning something new and enjoy your conversation between the two of yous and also love the can do attitude. I also have lr4 2012 hse. I also live north Ireland in wee place call crossgar.
Thanks for sharing a dream holiday with us, If i could still climb into a roof tent we would still be enjoying this type of adventure. I hope the motorcyclist was OK. Impressed with Vera recognizing the Tenere, maybe a how to maintain your Yamaha as a side channel?
No, if we ever get another motorcycle again, it will be a BMW again. 😃👍🙋♀️Vera
Looks like some damm fine trail coffee. ☕😁
Know that track up and down mountains was great really enjoyed watching . Would check that clicking out first before replace drive shafts could be something else around bearing hub enjoy
This is a dream holiday for a mechanic-aholic…. Drive a bit, check something…. Drive a bit, diagnose something… drive a bit more, fix something, drive a bit more then change something…. Repeat 🔁
Only possible with an LR, a Toyota owner / mechanic would be out of their mind with boredom
Lol, thats right. It went on like this for 7 days. Christian
I never knew they had Marmots over in the alps, too. I just figured it was an American vehicle wire chewing critter. Has Vera ever competed in a marathon or triathlon? Looks like a wonderful vacation, enjoy
and a lot of them ... when our mini schnauzer connected their whistling with their movements in his had we had to keep him on leash after almost he got one...
Yes a Marathon, but on the road and I hated it. I am a trail runner, and love to go uphill. 😅🙋♀️vera
Americans lost in a parallel world 🤦♂️
@@pavolklepac935obviously to a non dog owner like myself
@@paulmcgee1867 not sure I understand your remark...
Love all your videos, come to the UK and have a look at the Highlands and Islands in Scotland, Wales and the Lake District, you can stock up on cheaper LR parts as well 👍
Nice nice 👍👍👍!!!
Wow some great views and great to see the Discovery for its intended purpose and yes it certainly looks the part. Congrats vera on running all the way there. I wonder if the Air Intake could be quite if they lined it with some sort of felt material? Don't know if you guys ever watch RUclipsr Eva zu Beck on her lone journey , she just had her Land Rover refitted out in the US she also uses drones that follows her and the footage is really good.
We love the sound of our air intake. 😃👍🙋♀️Vera
Thanks grate wideo 👍
Hi guys god bless you I felt I was there with you 👍👍👍👍
I'm quite shocked at how fast the LR was round those mountain roads..😋
You actually took the LR3 off road for a long distance! The country side is very nice.
It wasn't the first time. 😅Not even this year. 🙋♀️Vera
20:21 Nobel prizes have been awarded for far less than that **cough Obama**
Thumbs up,very enjoyable!
p.s.if you go to many times the windscreen with be blocked off.It,s a problem Toyota,s have.)lol.
Thanks and bye for now.
Hi love watching your video, do make me laugh, in a good way, but whot GPS have you got in dash.cheers Martin
Oh it's an old Garmin, but it does the job. I like to navigate with a Road Atlas and Maps. So the garmin is always running, but more of a back up. 👍🙋♀️Vera
Spectacular!
Vera - wow, you must be super fit and healthy (all that running).
Christian - yep, I'd be driving the car rather than running too!
Have you managed to find out who the Go-Pro owner is?
Both - does this mean we have some new repairs to watch, and the new two-post hoist will get a workout too?
Nope, not yet unfortunately. 👍🙋♀️Vera
Great adventures you're having .when you coming to the uk ?
Oh oh oh, the dreaded "LR half-shaft" strikes again!!!! In Houston where I live, you're lucky to get 3yrs out of a daily driven one and by GOD are they *e.x.p.e.n.s.i.v.e*
It's the first time for us. The bad part is that you can't even get expensive ones here in Germany as of right now. Stuck with cheap aftermarket and we know how that may turn out. 🙋♀️Vera
@@Vera_and_Christian Sometimes, if you're lucky and can find the right machinist to take it apart, the original OEM ones can be rebuilt so long as the cage isn't cracked or worn beyond all reason. Here in the states a whole new half shaft is over $650 when one of the ends inevitably fails.. Somehow the bearing races seem to outlive the actual bearings inside so try repairing it coz you're right, aftermarket is crap on a stick!
@@Drmcclung Yes, and thankfully, I am married to the right machinist and driveshaft expert, renowned world wide. On street, you don't feel anything at all, so we have time to deal with that issue. 💪🙋♀Vera
