I get a kick out of these vids. My old German relatives have passed on and I miss their German ways. Now I have Christian and Vera. And tho I am in the U.S. I have their humor to keep me sane once in awhile. Many Blessings friends!!😁
Great video, you guys .I worked in Germany for 10 years,I'm back in Ireland now,miss the frankfurters,and spiegli.keep up the good work.Michael . Tipperary
Love the mention of the channel lock pliers - never heard them called that before!! Here in Australia we just call them pipe grips. Love your videos, keep them coming.😊
You two make my wife and I laugh so much with your friendly banter. We look forward to each video release and we don’t even own a Discovery. I bet you two love Dinner for One..... Same procedure as last year 😂. I was very impressed with your solution to remove the broken recessed bolt, that was inspired. Thanks for sharing your adventures!!
Hello Christian and Vera I can only agree with your choice of tyre it’s the only thing I will put on my D3. I can find no disadvantages with them. I am glad we have an MOT and not the dreaded TUV! Please keep the humour!-my favourite comment of Veras was “I listened to everything you said but i wasn’t concentrating “ That still makes me laugh! Keep up the good work
You guys really do great work and show what most youtubers won't show, you trully show how to solve certain issues that most youtubers won't show, all thye do is talking and no actions
@@Vera_and_Christian Well wish i had a plate like that on my LR3 Vera but sadly mines is just a plain boring UK plate. Dean from sunny.....i mean rainy Scotland 🏴👍🏼😂
Going with Brembo eliminates any worry about what quality brakes am I getting. Back when I was a parts manager my card file had red flags on some brands and suppliers who had sold us rotors that warped or came with bad heat treatment :(
Tires look great, really adds to the stance of the Disco! Nice fun video, makes me miss Germany driving on the nice country roads but I don't miss the regulations hahahaha. I recently installed 265/65/18 BFG KO2 on my Lr4 :). Thanks
I have considered adding spacers and couldn’t decide, I think now having watched this video I may Fit some. I think in the UK the law is not quite so strict but must not stick out beyond the wheel arch. Excellent thank you.
We love your vids 255-60r18 is the smart way when on the 30mm terra spacers not over 9.5 maximum looks good rides awesome done right 🔥👍😎regards from South Carolina
Female vs male diagnostics, I’d go with the female diagnostic “I don’t feel anything” sometimes simple things are best. But on highly technical aspect Christian’s diagnosis is superb! 🤗🤗
Great video Christian and vera. Vera made a good choice. Just be careful with the wheel spacers ; there has been cases of people losing wheels. I've got 30mm spacers on my defender but made sure the spacers had lock tight on the threads when fitting them. Keep an eye on your wheel bearings as apparently spacers put more stress on them. Enjoy !
Yes the wheel spacers do put the bearings under a heavier load. You can expect to have to replace them on a earlier interval than normal. Christian, I hope sincerely that the bearings are replaceable and that you don't have to replace the whole hub assembly. Although sometimes it's a blessing to replace the hub, as getting the bearings out can sometimes be a nightmare if you do not have access to a hydraulic press. Using the time honoured spacer and threaded rod can be a pain in the arse!
@chris lant @SAMRODIAN We have replaced already too many wheelbearings on this car without having wheel spacers on😢 . We'll see, what happens. We love the look, and that the main reason why we put them on. If they don'T work out, well take them off. At least we can make then another video about it. 👍🙋♀️ Vera
Watch "Grizzly n Bear " suffer swivel failure, look at "Defender Mods and Travels" superb analysis of axle failures and I think you will decide to remove the spacers.....before this I'd also had only a vague view on reduced bearing life. It then seems obvious that countries like Australia prohibits spacers for very good reasons !
I thought the French rules & regs were bad but your German rules & regs take the biscuit. Great vid & I'm liking all the new shiny tools Christian is collecting. thanks guys. 👍
This is the first video from this channel that I have watched and I found it charming, funny, interesting and a pleasure to watch. From a Brit in France, Dave. Subscribed.
Like Malcolm Hay stated earlier - your videos just make me smile and laugh. Germany has some very serious rules on vehicle modifications when compared to the USA. I have a Jeep JK with wheel spacers, 8.5" wide wheels and I took the stock fenders off of the Jeep,
Looks good! I was banging my head against the wall for much of the video. I thought we had some onerous rules and regulations here (even in the "Live Free or Die" state!), but Germany may just take the cake on that one! See you next Sunday! 🤠
I think only Japan has more rules than Germany but theirs are not as stupid. Wait for the chapter “lights” and not to mention “engine tuning” or “suspension”. There is actually no welding allowed on the frame 😂. Christian
@@Vera_and_Christian Here in the state of New Hampshire, we have some very strict (relatively for the US) vehicle "safety" inspections, which until recently, I thought were the strictest in the nation. I learned, however, that Vermont actually has a more strict inspection and they also don't allow welding of vehicle frames! At least we can weld our frames here in NH 🤠
You guys grown so much since you started, im very happy for you. Professional grade informative videos with funny/romantic atmosphere around it...thank you guys!
Thank you for your entertaining and informative videos. Very refreshing to see some folks of my country doing good videos with character and knowledge. I would like to see you both changing differential, transfercase and maybe transmission fluid on your vehicles :) greetings from Meerbusch, NRW
I have just fitted Goodyear Wrangler HP all weather tyres to my recently purchased D4. I like them, good on mainly tarmac but plenty of grip in all conditions too. Personally would not fit the spacers. Noticed you have joined the LR Facebook group so we are in good company. Great Videos look forward to the next, thank you.
When the title mentioned Brembo I thought that you were upgrading to RRS supercharged Brembo 4 pot calipers and bigger disc's! Got them on my D3 V8 and well worth it for the extra braking performance 👍
Wow, great video! I bought the same tyres 2 weeks ago after some analyse and I am really proud about the decision. Now after seeing your video I am even prouder ;) but now I wish also to buy a set of wheel spacers:)) keep up the good work and thanks for the video, a have a great car!
I had AT2 on a 2006 D3, they were good tyres, and the carcass is very strong which is as important as the tread. Love to see the area you live in, it’s really nice like Yorkshire, but those rules must drive you mad 🤯
Another great video and very enjoyable. I have driven my GG AT3 at 130 KPH with the vehicle fully loaded from northern France to Spain and they handle very well at the higher speeds. It's important to rotate the GG AT3s every 6 months or you are likely to get feathering of the tread. Look forwards to watching next week's video. Regards Peter.
Your car inspection protocol reminded me of the old joke: Heaven: The police are British The cooks are French The engineers are German The administrators are Swiss The lovers are Italian Hell: The police are German The cooks are British The engineers are Italian The administrators are French The lovers are Swiss 😂😂😂 Love the videos, you guys make me smile 😊
5:55 I crack the bleed nipple on the calliper instead, then you're not pushing fluid back up and makes it easier to push in.. Also, yesterday, I just stuck 18" BMW X5 wheels on my D4 with 265/60/18 Achilles Dessert Hawk Mts on, and they fit perfectly (after getting the centre bore skimmed ever so slightly and different lug nuts), and they look almost factory LR. I bought some 18" LR wheels and tried them on, which didn't fit, so I sold them again. Then later, I heard about using them with a spacer, so never got to find this out, always wondered! Thanks!
Smiley faces all round! I would have stuck with the 19" option, they're awesome, and no spacers. You were very economical with the copper slip - between wheel and disc interface - corrosion city in salty weather and between the disc and hub. Also, from the previous video the floating brake pins, but, considering it's age the car is in remarkable condition. Given the nutters on the autobahns I'm glad the TUV do a good job of inspecting any upgrades - in the UK there's loads of "kids" running around with lowered and widened suspensions with no thought for geometry (you should realign the wheels as well) and clearances. Fortunately, they don't last long here, they usually crash, but we are very tolerant of these modifications for some reason, including the insurance companies.... Great, fun video.
I love you guys! I’m addicted to binge watching past episodes. I wanted this episode a few weeks ago. I keep thinking about it and today I watched the entire episode again and took notes !! Looking forward future educational journeys with you both - I do miss Germany having been stationed in Landstul 2006+. I also purchased my verify first Land Rover the new to US LR2 SE, (Freelander replacement). I’ve had 2 D3’s and 3 D’4s, RRS, Defender. As long as you keep making videos I’ll keep watching and learning. Take care!
😃👍 We just drove by Landstuhl last weekend. Our blacksmith son, Robin, just moved near Pirmasens. We love that area. We hope to add a Defender also to our list of Land Rovers. 🙋♀️ Vera
Great video! We run 275/65r18 on our LR3, on the stock wheels. Offroad it is better to have a slightly narrower wheel, as it keeps the beads tucked in. We have the OME coil conversion, with the HD springs and 2" lift. 235,000 km on the original wheel bearings, and it gets used offroad in Northern Canada. I've been lucky I guess. I love the stance with the spacers, but I have seen far too many failures to ever consider running spacers. It's still crazy to me all the regulations and inspections you have to go through. We do whatever we want in regards to modifications. If your vehicle looks obviously unsafe, the police can force an inspection, but it is pretty rare.
Magnificent job, The new tires look awesome, i’m just wondering how many kilometers they last. My BF Goodrich AT KO2’s (255/55R18 H109) lasted nearly 100.000 kms. Seeing this, i want those spacers, they make the car look even better. Loved to see you working together in jalous making endless harmony. You’ve deserved that ice cream. Looking forward to the next video.
Tire quality is important. I've been telling this to people for years, because it's easy to forget. Even if the rest of the vehicle is junk, like mine, it needs good tires, because that's the only thing that comes into contact with the road.
Another great video. The wider wheel track from the spacers gives your Discovery an aggressive stance, I like it. You did not mention whether or not you performed a wheel alignment after fitting the new tires to ensure even wear. Again, the jovial banter between you makes watching your videos interesting and very enjoyable. Cheers👍
One thing about owning a car in North America vs. Europe is that in NA, there is no "Technical Passport" for the vehicle and nobody cares what you put on your car (larger wheels, different lights, engine mods, brake mods, etc.). Makes things much simpler... Brakes upgrade you guys did looks great, I am thinking about Brembos next time my discs/pads wear out.
Wheel Spacers and Suspension spacers are a big No No here in AU Would rather different wheel offsets to bring the wheels in or out, plus correct springs/struts
Nice to see the upgrade guys! On my D4 I have 265/65 r18 and I love them. I didn’t install spacers as I don’t think my D4 needed them, but also my understanding is that you risk causing damage to the wheel bearings and other such things. Essentially because the spacer puts more distance and so leverage between the part and where the force is being applied.
Yes, but our LR3 maxes out at 180 km/h on the Autobahn anyhow. So we are not really worried about it 😂. We run the 3rd bearings on at least one wheel too. I think 265 tires do not need spacers for look but on the 255s it makes a difference. Nobody told me before that the car gets way more dirty now. That’s a real down side. Thanks Christian
Thank you Guys, Very Lovely video, it's very informative, we need some video about how to install 4x4 info dashboard and units needed and so on??, and if we can replace this with something more modern and new for offroad rides especially for LR3 and LR4 ??
Great video. I use the Goodyear Wrangler AW (All Weather) tires 255/55 R19 111W. At an Irish price of €220 each, they're not cheap but long lasting tires. I had mine for over three years. However, make sure to check your wheel CAMBER and TOE regularly as this is what caused mine to wear prematurely (after the years!).
We have had bearing failures all the time, at least one every year since 2016. And we just added the wheel spacers. I think it's just our thing. We have also installed from really expensive ones to cheap ones. But we do monitor our setup closely, no matter what. 👍🙋♀️ Vera
Gerar vídeos. You both make these videos e pleasure to watch. I had the courage to by a Disco 4 after a watched a couple of your “classes”. Sea you next Sunday.
Great video. I am installing new front brake rotors, brake pads and wear sensor on my LR3 this weekend. I note your comment on "other brands when nobody is watching" Well I bought Bosch rotors today. I could have bought cheaper rotors, but decided on Bosch - what could go wrong with German quality right?? Well imagine my surprise and disgust when the label on the boxes says Made in China / Fabriqué en Chiné. I only hope the ones I bought were assessed by German QC inspectors. Bugger, I could have bought cheaper Chinese ones had I known. I will email you a picture of the boxes.
Yes you are right, Bosch does not manufacture rotors in Europe. The best kept secret brand for brake rotors is Zimmermann brake discs. They are manufactured here in Germany, but are expensice. 👍🙋♀️Vera
Love your videos, they keep me inspired to fix my LR3. What work did you do to the fenders to meet the TUV requirements? Also fun fact about your Channel Lock pliers, the universal name for them is slip joint pliers. Technically Channel Lock is a brand name but were probably the first to make that type of plier popular which is why everyone calls them channel lock.
I put a set of Toyo Open Country AT3 tires on my LR3 (Canada). So far seem to be quite good, just had a bit of a trip out on some gravel roads/trails and they worked perfectly. Stayed with the stock size so didn't need to use spacers or anything like that. Time will tell how good they actually are.
Whenever I watch one of your videos, I always find myself smiling all the way through it - thank you both!

Great video showing how capable the LR can be
Very nice modification, the car looks more purposeful now.
You may find that the wheel bearings wear quicker with the spacers on as it puts more load on the bearings.

There is also risk of reduced fatigue life in swivel hubs increasing risk of catastrophic failure.

@@charliew8378 Same thing here, having a hard time convincing the wife LR3s with off road mods are supposed to look a little funky...
I have Knipex, I love them, use them at work a lot. I have 275/65-R18 tires on my Discovery 3 😁
Thank you Guys, Very Lovely video, it's very informative, we need some video about how to install 4x4 info dashboard and units needed and so on??, and if we can replace this with something more modern and new for offroad rides especially for LR3 and LR4 ??
Thank you. We would like that too, but it's too expensive. We can only do the cheap chinese version unfortunately. 🙋♀️ Vera
Great jobs again guys👍
Great video.
I use the Goodyear Wrangler AW (All Weather) tires 255/55 R19 111W.
At an Irish price of €220 each, they're not cheap but long lasting tires. I had mine for over three years.
However, make sure to check your wheel CAMBER and TOE regularly as this is what caused mine to wear prematurely (after the years!).
We have had bearing failures all the time, at least one every year since 2016. And we just added the wheel spacers. I think it's just our thing. We have also installed from really expensive ones to cheap ones. But we do monitor our setup closely, no matter what. 👍🙋♀️ Vera
@@Vera_and_Christian thanks again Vera for the in depth reply
Gerar vídeos. You both make these videos e pleasure to watch. I had the courage to by a Disco 4 after a watched a couple of your “classes”.
Sea you next Sunday.
😄👍🙋♀️Vera
Hello Fernando, you are a brave man 👍. Hope your LR4 runs forever without (major) trouble. 👍 Thanks for watching our videos. Christian
Do you fell some difference with the spacers in turns?
Tip: to clean the inside of the rims i use toilet liquid cleaner (chalk and rust solution)
I have to try that out, would have never thought of it 👍🙋♀️Vera (I think the car is more stable in curves)
Hi always great to watch your projects. We the brakes 18in?
nice wheels. Like you LR stories
I was number 1000 to like this video!!!! Great content!!!!
Cool, I didn't even know that we get that many thumbs up. Thank you. Our new video will be up at 10 o'clock our time.😃👍🙋♀️ Vera
Great video. I am installing new front brake rotors, brake pads and wear sensor on my LR3 this weekend. I note your comment on "other brands when nobody is watching" Well I bought Bosch rotors today. I could have bought cheaper rotors, but decided on Bosch - what could go wrong with German quality right?? Well imagine my surprise and disgust when the label on the boxes says Made in China / Fabriqué en Chiné. I only hope the ones I bought were assessed by German QC inspectors. Bugger, I could have bought cheaper Chinese ones had I known. I will email you a picture of the boxes.
Yes you are right, Bosch does not manufacture rotors in Europe. The best kept secret brand for brake rotors is Zimmermann brake discs. They are manufactured here in Germany, but are expensice. 👍🙋♀️Vera
@@Vera_and_Christian Poo to Bosch!
Love your videos, they keep me inspired to fix my LR3. What work did you do to the fenders to meet the TUV requirements? Also fun fact about your Channel Lock pliers, the universal name for them is slip joint pliers. Technically Channel Lock is a brand name but were probably the first to make that type of plier popular which is why everyone calls them channel lock.
We have not done any work to the fenders yet. We would like to talk to TÜV guy first, but haven't had the time yet. 🙋♀️ Vera
I put a set of Toyo Open Country AT3 tires on my LR3 (Canada). So far seem to be quite good, just had a bit of a trip out on some gravel roads/trails and they worked perfectly. Stayed with the stock size so didn't need to use spacers or anything like that. Time will tell how good they actually are.
love the emoji edits
Danke
Cool stunt!
Always a leaning experience about L/R in Germany.
