I will make good use of this sponsorship 😊
they are a fucking pain to cancel, had it a few years ago. If you lucky, theyll accept and email cancellation, but usually have to speak to snouty Glaswegian customer service.
Beers are usually quite average too for “craft” beers.
Why do all of these beer companies make shitty old man beer. Make some fucking lager you cunts it's 2023, nobody actually likes craft beer they just think it's cool.
Do they ship to Belgium? I can't seem to find it on their website.
@@rickySPANish_ I like craft beer
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😂
Was going to suggest that the team should call him "Monday Tuesday" from now on
Happy days
If you do this with etcetera you are drunk as a skunk and passing out
I do love these vids, always a great source of good entertainment 👌😂
Only surpassed by the etc. etc. count
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.
That is the benefit of going to a specialist independent. They take pride in their work and give you both options (if poss). I do love the Disco 3 and 4s.
@@martyp2138 I personally find the 4 a bit kinda "meh"
Golf mk5 gti, Golf mk2 Syncro country, Lotus Elise S2s, Lancia integrale Evo2. Not one comes out fixed. They actually are just ornaments in the service workshop for years
That's how all good workshops should behave. Been taking my Alfas to the same old bloke for 12 years - he's been in business for 40, and that's exactly how he (and his sons) operates. Has probably saved me thousands over the years, as much as anything because he knows the cars inside out and can identify problem - and fix it - at first go. I would never go to a dealer unless it was a new car that needed a warranty job.
Normally a autoalex episode without taylor isn't as good but I've got to say tom makes up for it
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!
Same with my Polo my mums had it for the past 10 years and it's always had one or two small issues 🤣🤣but it's never had any major problems only minor things.
I think that’s only realistic with a Toyota.
Same
When everything is fixed it’s only a matter of hours before the dreaded bong!!!!
Saying that she’s a beast and I love it
Getting some major Art Attack vibes from Alex's look today, just waiting for him to bust out the paint
It's just that red jumper I think
😂😂😂😂 brilliant
haha deffo XD
Now I can't unsee this
Taylor would make such a good Head too.
This is why we call them Disco 3 grand whenever they come into the workshop because they normally need that much to fix them 😂😂😂
are they an ongoing bottomless pit or would a decent investment have them sorted for a good while?
@@John_Wood_ They should be good for a while, there's usually something that needs fixing every year that'll cost a few hundred but over the past 50k miles (I'm at 200k) its been pretty low maintenance. They do go through brakes and tires pretty fast but that's expected from such a heavy car.
@@CarThings___ thanks for that.
Had my disco 4 pretty much the same as the disco 3 2 years cost me around 1000 pound in repairs not bad at all Just keep on Top and there fine
Most modern cars are expensive. It's whether the owner likes it enough.
Tom looks like an absolute giant in comparison...how tall is he? 5ft 11in?
Alex is 5'4" so you're probably about right
😂
I love how your crew has turned into a little top gear it's great
It’s a lot better than top gear
@@hoodwinker7932especially new top gear 🤮
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
So i've ordered right but i have to now call them up to cancel right?
Just cancel the direct debit after putting on pause.
Bungal0w Ben Thank you for your message. Customers can call or email to cancel and we aim to make the process as efficient as possible while gathering valuable feedback on their experience so we can improve our product and service.
@@Beer52HQ as efficient for you to make money not for someone to cancel, it is a false claim that you can cancel 'anytime'. Phones are open bussines hours. You try and take money out my bank atleast once a week.
@@Beer52HQ Do customers need to call or email in order to sign up?
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
Mine 2010 2.7 TDV6 is stuck at 23mpg 😃
My computer reads 37-38, actually getting around 28-29
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
Yeah. Surprised they never mentioned that tbh.
Just wanted to write it. Being a 2005 car, if it has the original, the top left idler will break, just matter of time.
You have to respect a man who's still rockin cargo shorts, in 2023, even when he says Range Rovers are reliable.
Anyone born before the 90’s still considers cargo shorts acceptable
@@LewisGardner187 And rightly so.😂
A very 90s fashion...which is exactly what the people are wearing these days. 90s fashion.
And what does one sport instead of the mighty cargo shorts?
@@WildCamper Nothing.
Tom killed me when he said "you're in striking distance"
Tom seems like a great bloke hats off to him 🙌
Tom is hang overed, heres a beer ad.
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.
Love my disco 3, had it 5 years and it’s brilliant - does everything!!
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 can second this. It was, as you say, very well looked after until we knew it was coming to the end if it's safe life. Would have cost way more than it's worth to make it safe to drive.😢
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.
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
Love the work Alex and team are doing! Introducing us to some epic people!
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
I love when Tom retorts to the legally binding trade price. Bloody classic.
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 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 😂😂😂
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.
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
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 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...
I really like Tom and his boys. They're actually hilarious
Worth checking if it’s had an upgraded oil pump while timing belts getting done, Don’t want that tensioner mounting point breaking off 🤢
I want to buy a discovery just to go see Tom he sounds like a real nice guy
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.
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
Love Taylor and Rory’s channel. 👍
Love this, Alex. On another note, more motorbike content, please !!!
AutoAlex always a good laugh, thanks for the content 👍
alex in this car must feel like a kid in push trolley
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
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. 🤣
“Am I going to spend all of your two grand?
Yeh, and a little bit more” 😂
“No no it’s rusted away “ 😂😂😂 love how Alex admitted he’s a short arse straight away 😂
Tom seems like a genuine fella!
What Tom said about a well sorted Disco is spot on, They are such practical things when you look after them :-)
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
13:53 reverse lights are broken.
Not an mot fail though.
....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.
Can't you replace only the centre bearing for the rear propshaft with OE ref TVB500360?
Alex out here looking like he's about to present an episode of Art Attack. ;)
2:01 Is that the Supercharged AJ16S that is going into the XJC? It looks totally amaze-balls!!!! 😍😍😍
Great video mate and finally some more merch coming 👏
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 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.
Bit of a shocker about detachable towbars. Have a factory one on a Q7. Audi says will pull 3500kg laden ?
What’s better for daily driving. Towing and everything manual or auto?????
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!
Get the work done, Give the underside the Lanoguard treatment and it's golden 👌
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!
Dude you're killing me, Kaža B says I have to do a shot every time you say Happy Days !!!
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.
Petition to make Alex, Taylor and Rory the new presenters of Top Gear!! Thumbs up for yes, thumbs down for no
The "I'll do it for 15" guy 🤣🤣🤣
Always Polybush (the brand) for land rovers, we've still got bushes on vehicles that are 40 years old!! Been all around the world
12.33 - 12.40, that's the speed my staff work at when on an hourly rate!
Tom quoted for a whole propshaft but it was only the bearing it needed!..??
Good sponsor 👍🏻
He's going to have to relocate his business now 🤣🤣
Need a good land rover garage like this in Yorkshire
Any update vid on the M3 touring?
Heavy vehicle eats bushes, standard ... at least youve got a vibrating shaft for everyones pleasure!!!
Just replace the bearing on the driveshaft if it's the carrier. They do make them even if parts shops say they don't.
You don’t need to get a new prop shaft you can split it in the middle and press a new bearing on save yourself some money
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.
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
Grandbrake 🤣🤣I love that.
It's been so cold the first half of June I renamed it "Juneuary".
I just self repaired my EPBM on my 2010 D4 2.7 TDV6 and I've changed the entire rear brake system ( brake callipers, Zimmermann bigger brake discs -350mm , Ate brake shoes , brake pads and accessories for a total amount of 400€ .
fact you thought a skoda estate was a good crew car is worrying tbh, good job you've got the that big piece of lard taylor hanging about
Didn’t know Harry Enfield has moved into fixing land rovers.
no one mentioning the elephant in the room, the TDV6
Alex making tom a rich man
just started listening to the Car Throttle podcast ❤
“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!
I have just learned why the bloke at the garage wrote "offside trackrod FKT" on my quote... THANKS ALEX
You can replace the prop shaft bearing, not a big job either.
just wait until the weather gets colder and you find all the glow plugs are faulty, and more than likely stuck in the block, then there's the fuel burning heater that will likely need removing and servicing - this is in addition to the air compressor that will go bad at some point, hopefully not accompanied by the valve block, but will block up from the decedent air drying balls that break down and clog the valve and pump .... that's aside from the fact that the battery, without fail, would need replacing annually and comes to light on cold starts when the temp drops.... this is what I found on mine and my mates called it "triggers disco" due to the fact that most of it had been replaced 😀 - mine was, without doubt, the best car I've owned - I just couldn't run it as a daily and keep it on the road 100% of the time, particularly in winter - oh, and if we have a hot summer be prepared to be replacing rear brake calipers as if they were service items! At least my disco 3 was easier to maintain than my old P38.........! Oh - and best colour is the tonga green as you have, really nice with the light interior and a lot of car for £3k!
Love seeing the videos mate well done
In a chart of the 20 most unreliable cars of the 21st Century, 12 of the 20 places were Land/Range Rovers.
Perhaps some reverse light bulbs too Alex :)
Yes yes yes something to keep me entertained this weekend
This guy is a such a mechanic
thanks for the free promo. I'm defo using this deal for free beers
Just ordered my first lot of beers thank you
Sounds like a bargain to me. 👌
Thanks for another great video Alex, greeting from Denmark
We asked for more Tom. We got more Tom. More Tom please.
JLR garages must make a killing.
What is the color code for that paint?
I'd love that landy that's for sure! Need it in my life😂
13:53 reverse lights are out
They are great, our Disco 4 is getting over 40mpg on a run.
yes on the back of the big yelow truck
