Just found you guys and I will have to back track and watch your videos. Really cheers me me watching you working on your Land Rover. You are so funny!😊
That's one great shop.. us boys just love those shops If Christian and Vera was to come to England and open their own Garage they would never be short of work that's for sure.
Fantastic work as always. ‘Aren’t Rivet nuts brilliant!’ I’ve used them on my steam launch boiler cover plates Apparently invented to attach rubber de icing boots to aircraft wings. It’s incredible how humans can invent so many tools but still make brake pipes out of materials that corrode.
That's something good I notice about Dacia cars.. they have these bright shiny brake lines visible from behind the car .. must be some kind of corrosion-resistant metal.
Absolutely brilliant as always - your amazing work is an inspiration to everyone who watches and I sure hope your humour is not lost on anyone, So British!!
I love watching you two work together, it's very cute and also heartwarming to see a happy couple making each other laugh after all these years. The Land Rover stuff, its just a bonus on top for me. 🙌 Thanks for all the great videos, love your work Kristian and Vera. 🤝
@@Vera_and_Christian yes I know. 3 weekends seems pretty good for what you did. In general, you manage to get so much quality work done in such a short time. The complexity of rebuilding the 2.7 will make a few people pause. For most folks a simple refurb of an old defender/series would take longer.
These videos are so inspiring - thanks for showing how worthwhile putting your energy into proper research, hard work and perseverance is. How satisfying it must be to work on your discovery and basically end up with a ‘zero hour’ car - fantastic!
Love the great job you're doing and improvements ,like cutting a small radius in the engine mount to clear the starter motor. As a retired mechanical engineer , I really enjoy the practical special tools and modified parts you've made. Refurbishing the Discovery far more sustainable than buying a EV Best wishes looking forward to next week .
Late watching this one this week (the clocks going back yesterday stole my viewing hour, or at least that is my excuse); really looking forward to seeing the conclusion of your excellent work and then the many millions of miles thereafter as you continue to modify and maintain it...
I have the same rivet nut gun, absolutely love it. Just bought a rivet gun in the same two handed configuration. So wished I had bought it years ago and not struggled with the "one hand" ones. Your patience on the brakelines shows, looks great as always. I have to make sure I have a beer to toast your next video with.
I admire your motivation and dedication. My LR3 has been in my garage for 11 months. I started a light restoration and got sidetracked. Your videos are motivating me to get back at it!
stainless rivet nuts for the win..... no more stuck bolts, that wins any criticism. i watched Tavarish renovate his wiring loom using salt and vinegar and water and bicarb took it back to new.
I remember the last time I went to the US of A, I went into a hardware store. The section for bird feeders and boxes was bigger than the whole of my local Byg XL in Sweden…
Looks wonderful, how satisfying to watch and enjoy the quality in motion. You guys produce in my view some of the best content on You Tube, you don't even have to own a Disco to enjoy it. Cannot wait until next week..
ITS LR TIME😊😊😊good morning folks from a very wet ireland.great job christian, attention to detail as always is fantastic.your project is near finishing.what is next on your list? Till next week folks have a good week 😊😊😊
You have done some fantastic work there Christian, and Vera. I can't wait for next week's episode, it's been a long journey for you both! Crikey, those Yankee shops are amazing! I could holiday just in those stores 😂
Good morning from my train to work lol 😆 Great video and Christian bending those brake lines was a work of art 🖼️ It did make me laugh when Vera was checking your work Christian 🤣 Kiss 😘 for Vera x
Great work guys Yes put the nut on first !!!I I have a very similar tool out on permanent loan to my cousin We use it on his disco from time to time Hopefully all your preventative work should alleviate the problem we had when we had to change the rear floor panel😂😂😂
I am so glad I don't have a tool store like that near me. I would have to sell my house . Your brake pipes are terrific, been doing brake pipes for more than 50 years not my favourite job.
Great job Christian and Vera. One question, why did you decide to use steel pipe again for your brake lines as opposed to the "Kunifer" copper /nickel alloy piping. Land Rover are famous for cutting corners caused by the "Bean counters" to save money in the production costs. When I used to buy one of numerous Land Rover monthly magazines every one commented on the 'cheapskate' choice of steel piping for the braking system on one of the worlds most expensive 4x4's and not using the copper/nickel type of non corroding pipe work. Back when I was about twelve my eldest brother had a Saab I can't remember the number I think it was a precursor of the 90/900 series ( this was 1966) and not only did they have I believe pure nickel brake pipes, but they were all run for the most part inside the cabin of the vehicle, exiting only just above the brakes and connected directly to the nickel pipe by the rubber flexible hose. I asked my brother why they did that and he said probably because they were primarily aircraft manufacturers and that's the way they ran pipe work in aircraft. 58 years later and I realise he was dead right! I've never put steel pipe back in any of my cars, always used either copper or copper nickel pipe ( if I could get it,It's probably available freely now but 15-20 years ago it wasn't.) and I've never had a problem with it at all.
Awesome work but gotta pull Christian on wiring terminology you have a wiring harness, the loom is the jig or fixture you use to make the wiring harness.👍
I enjoy making brake pipes, getting the bends all done at the bench and then offering up the pipe and having it fit first time is very satisfying. A tip to stop brake fluid constantly dripping when you remove a brake fitting is to slightly press the brake pedal down, this causes the master cylinder to close off the internal port to the reservoir preventing any fluid from passing through. Is there a reason that you are using steel pipe rather than Kunifer (Copper/Nickel alloy), which is no only much easier to bend and flare but also better at resisting corrosion?
Christian and Vera, it is a pity you didn't get to meet Matt at MORR while you were visiting Utah, he works a lot differently to you, not so precise but he gets some brilliant results. You both get the job done in different ways.
Try using 'Kunifer 10' brake pipes, they contain a high degree of copper, so bend easy and do not corrode, i have been using them for about fifty years and there is nothing better, in fact i would not use anyting else on the market.
No I can't wait till next week! As an armchair mechanic why is it always raining when I want to do any - who do you call to turn the rain off in your videos? I'm soaked today and your videos are a convenient opportunity to dry out! Were the lines mild steel or stainless? Questions, questions, we love it, fantastic video, OMG!
Great job guys. I have that same brake flaring tool it's really easy to use especially on vehicle. Watching these videos actually makes me want to do another body off job as I loved doing all the prep and paint work on the chassis and body and it is so satisfying when it all looks new. Hopefully I won't need to take my body off for a while though so I might get another project🤔🤫I had to replace a few of those brake line clips and they are not cheap! So what's next for content then as you have finished Vera's D3...? Really looking forward to the final episode though as the first start is the best feeling. 👍😁😎
Before all the heat shields are fully installed there should be some wax/ cosmalene style anti corrosion coating! It would save having to do the job twice.
@@Vera_and_Christian I meant to say for the brake lines and other accessories that come later, but I realize I may just have to just wait for the next videos. Haha, all in good fun. Most of the cavity wax sprayed normally is over everything, not just inside the frame rails. 😅
@@jagtan13No, you need to watch past videos, not future videos to see that we have already done a complete frame and body restoration. Spend two months restoring frame and body. 👍🙋♀
@Vera_and_Christian I have seen the ruststop red coating and the paint afterward, both on the frame and on the body. It is an awesome compilation of videos. 🙂 I know there is wax behind the rails and I know it will take many decades before this work will be done again. I would just like to know the plan for the rest of the protection program past simply the frame and body paint: e.g. the new brake lines themselves, other fasteners, shields, and driveline components. I've had rock chips in rust stop coatings, and the moisture quickly eats the rust prevention formula, allowing the metal to rust again if left unattended. I've had to spray fluid film on my truck as it experiences rough tracks, snow, salt, and water in winter. Farm trucks do see a lot of abuse, and those paint coatings are usually seasonal as well, having to be renewed when they are worn away.
Whats is the collective name for all the little flared bits of brake pipe, that we've all had to cut off, when we have forgotten to put the nut on the pipe BEFORE making the flare ? 🤔😆 And why do we keep them ? 🤣🤣
Hi Christian and Vera, I did my rear brake lines and I want to make sure they mounted them correctly. I know from your last video, when you did, just the back ones, you marked witch line goes where. Im 100% sure they didnt do that so I want to check it. First question, do the car throw any warning if they are switched? If not how can I check and follow the lines? A milliom thumbs up for the german precision and craftsmanship.
You guys using steel brake line replacements? Here in the UK we would use Cunifer (Copper Nickel Iron) or just plain copper. Easy to form and last forever as Cunifer does not rust at all.
Yes we know, they have only been legal in Germany for about 2 years. We are using what we had left from our previous brake line repair on my Discovery 3. At a time when copper lines were not legal and TÜV approved yet. 👍🙋♀️
I replaced my brake lines with Cunifer for German TUV 3 years ago. TUV made me replace them with steel lines before it would pass. Great work Vera and Christian.@@Vera_and_Christian
No, I also only saw one store. Christian is flying to Detroit tomorrow for work, I‘ll make him go to Napa and HarborFreight. If he has time, mist likely not😢😅👍🙋♀️
it must be one of the best discovery 3 ever refubished in the world well done to you both
O yeah
I'd not doubt it..
What do you mean "one of"? 😉🤣
Just found you guys and I will have to back track and watch your videos. Really cheers me me watching you working on your Land Rover. You are so funny!😊
That's one great shop.. us boys just love those shops
If Christian and Vera was to come to England and open their own Garage they would never be short of work that's for sure.
I miss the German tool shops. Bauhaus etc.
Ah nice work as usual. I love how Vera is the Quality Control Officer, inspecting Christian's work!
🤣
Hello from the USA. There was a time that I thought I'd like to own a LR3. Watching your channel has cured me of that. I'll stick to my old Jeeps.
Oh you don‘t have the problems we have here in Europe with the Diesel engines. 😃👍🙋♀️
Fantastic work as always. ‘Aren’t Rivet nuts brilliant!’ I’ve used them on my steam launch boiler cover plates Apparently invented to attach rubber de icing boots to aircraft wings. It’s incredible how humans can invent so many tools but still make brake pipes out of materials that corrode.
use kunnifer pipe
Yep, invented to hold the DC3 leading edge on I think. We call them rivnuts. (one word)
That's something good I notice about Dacia cars.. they have these bright shiny brake lines visible from behind the car .. must be some kind of corrosion-resistant metal.
@@simontist Kunnifer pipe
Sarah ‘N’ Tuned and Vera in one video. Now that’s something I would like to see 😂. Great work as always.
Taping the lines together is a genius idea ! Thank you Vera for this inspiration.
Love the banter.
Christian Toyota and Vera Oh My God. The perfect landrover couple.
Great job on brake lines. Enjoyed watching. 👍🏼👍🏼
Absolutely brilliant as always - your amazing work is an inspiration to everyone who watches and I sure hope your humour is not lost on anyone, So British!!
You guys are so funny. The look on Christians face when Vera talks about driving off a cliff 😂
I liked the camera focus on H&K (Heckler&Koch) pistols: innovative, high quality and German made!
I love watching you two work together, it's very cute and also heartwarming to see a happy couple making each other laugh after all these years.
The Land Rover stuff, its just a bonus on top for me. 🙌
Thanks for all the great videos, love your work Kristian and Vera. 🤝
Amazing you did it in just 3 weekends. Brave to tackle such a comprehensive refurbishment of a modern Land Rover, but very satisfying to watch.
Only the underbody took us 3 weekends. 😅👍🙋♀️
@@Vera_and_Christian yes I know. 3 weekends seems pretty good for what you did. In general, you manage to get so much quality work done in such a short time.

You fit the rivnuts far better than I can, nine times out of ten I clamp too hard and they pull through. Another great video, thanks.
No, I cut that out of the video 😂. Christian

you are definitely going to have a better than new car now you are going to have to order more clips, I love watching these videos
Late watching this one this week (the clocks going back yesterday stole my viewing hour, or at least that is my excuse); really looking forward to seeing the conclusion of your excellent work and then the many millions of miles thereafter as you continue to modify and maintain it...
We gained an hour. 😅👍🙋♀️
Thank you Christian and Vera for another fantastic video.
Superb work!
Great idea to tape the two pipes together, while bending the new one Vera. I am going to try that myself.
Very refreshing the common sense spoken here, and people doing something well. Keep it up.
I'm sure a 25 year old would not be helping Christian fit brake pipes on the weekend so you are safe Vera!
I wouldn't be so sure about that. 😅🙋♀️Vera
This whole series should be labeled "How to rebuild your Land Rover better than the factory". Gongrats once more.
Another great video,Well done on all your work Christian & Vera.👍

Fantastic job, you should start your own restoration business, attention to detail is fantastic 👌
Christian don't worry about it I've been a mechanic for years and I still do the same thing as you did👍
Great video ! Counting the days for next week to witness the marriage of body and chassis.
Looking forward to next week...
I admire your motivation and dedication. My LR3 has been in my garage for 11 months. I started a light restoration and got sidetracked. Your videos are motivating me to get back at it!
Get back to it man , the longer it sits the harder it is to go back to ! Don’t ask how I know that
@petermcneill80 I will. I did a little last week and a buddy is coming to help this week. Hopefully soon. I miss it!
I so wish we had O, Rileys in the UK.. I'd be broke but so happy 😂
So good to see it nearing completion. Well done on all your work Christian & Vera.
It's a re-engineered new car ...Incredible ...Nice job...and it's funny to look at you both...Interacting
stainless rivet nuts for the win..... no more stuck bolts, that wins any criticism. i watched Tavarish renovate his wiring loom using salt and vinegar and water and bicarb took it back to new.
