Dear Vera & Christian, So impressive as always and extremely inspirational. I just love watching what you do with your Discos. Making an expedition to the Alps was an adventurous test run and you made it! Well done and a very beautiful video, Thank you so much.
i have an '90 toyota hilux surf that i drove a few years ago from southern california up to northern alberta. A coolant hose broke in northern idaho (the middle of nowhere), on sunday afternoon with almost no cell service. We had no water or tools with us. I was able to get someone to come out 40 miles from the closest town for a tow and he got us back to the o'reilly's 30 minutes before closing. I bought 1 foot of hose, a pair of pliers and some coolant. We fixed it in the parking lot and were back on the road, only a couple hours behind schedule. I know exactly the feeling you must have had when all that steam blasted out (except for the part where 50 000 people would be watching). Those are the things that make a trip memorable, and thats why we drive the old stuff.
But the best thing in the US is, that whenever you are in a town, no matter how small it is, there is at least a Napa autoparts store then. 😃👍We lived in Michigan for almost 10 years and drove out West every summer in our Jeep. When we visited Utah and Cali this August, we went to a O'Reillys for the first time. 👍🙋♀️
Very brave to go on a long trip with an untried vehicle, but looked a real experience. Glad you both got back safely and now Christian can investigate the hiccups.
Brilliant! Just did body off LR4, replaced turbos, new air intakes, new oil pump, new water pump, vacuum hoses, coolant hoses, and 5w 40, new brake pipes whilst the body was off, body back on and guess what, thought the cross over pipe was leaking and so, body back off, it turned out to be a crack in the EGR exhaust pipe and so new egr and pipe fitted.. body back on and so far, all is well, fingers crossed 😅
ITS LR TIME😊😊😊 thanks for taking us with you.what a great episode today guys.a great rebuild with little going wrong.great humor as always.looking forward to the next episode 😊😊😊
Brilliant video and stunning views. Vera is a miniature powerhouse when it comes to fitness. I'm really surprised you're not towing a Sankey workshop trailer Christian. I'm glad you got home, okay? At least we are guaranteed more videos on you fault finding the transfer case and propshaft
I performed all the necessary calculations and found your level of humor to be 162% that of the average German couple. This meets the necessary criteria for subscription which is, as you know, 135% I wonder, though, if the authorities were able to find those maniacs traveling at 109 km / hr and instruct them that this is not possible. We can only hope.
Vera you have just demonstrated why to a large extent only a Landrover can undertake a journey like that. Certainly no alternative make of vehicle at 17 years is likely to be viable. Wise to have taken your mechanic also! Good luck with the transfer box and a great show. You may also read that insuring a landrover in the UK is becoming a big big expensive problem, because car thieves always find ways to hack into them, strip the cars and sell the parts. LR are recalling some to fit more robust anti theft devices.
I have been taking my Discovery on many trips ever since the rebuild. But we don't show them on RUclips, because it's mostly only Philipp and me. 👍🙋♀️
I am somewhat surprised with the Swiss habit of not allowing things, that you can just camp anywhere in the Alps with a car. Perhaps its a historic thing? They were a couple of lovely places to spend the night. Thank you for taking us with you. 👍
Never had a electrical issue. All you have to do is take care of your ground points ( and know where they are ) and don‘t let water get inside. That even goes for Toyotas.👍🙋♀️
Great video as always. You guys make me laugh so much with your humour. If those are the only issues after a complete rebuild, that’s pretty good. Well done you guys.
That bridge after the tunnel is what is known as a 'Bailey Bridge', named after a UK military engineer for creating a temporary bridge for military vehicles to cross rivers where the original bridge was washed out or destroyed. Today they are used for the same reasons for civilians.
Thank you for sharing the trip with us, very enjoyable, and discovering the technical problems, they were all Vera's fault, she's supposed to monitor quality control OMG.
Another great episode, thank you. One trick that I learned while overheating in the Pyrenees a few years ago, is while stationary and waiting for the heat levels to drop, turn on the interior heating controls to maximum to bleed heat away from the engine. Hopefully though, you won't have to do this now that the clamp is properly seated. One lives and learns 😁
Just such great content folks. Im on holiday in paradise here in Koh Samui. I still found time to watch your adventures with my favourite LR vehicle. Brilliant. Funny and so jnformative.
Just brilliant guys interesting, compelling and most of all the humor in the face of diversity is fantastic to watch please keep it up some of the best stuff on RUclips.
This looks like a nice trip! I have been watching your channel for a few weeks right now and really want to let you know I really like it! Feels like a time well spent with Two of You. Great Job!
You're such a joyful couple. Delightful to see your LR progress and excursions in it. The air must have been so fresh up there in the swiss alps. Majestic views to wake up to.
Another excellent video, calm and logic dealing with the problems. Really enjoyed the footage of the mountain scenery, YT channels like yourself are great for seeing other countries in a "virtual" way. Thank you.
Christion, I do enjoy you both with your attitude to life. When you were explaining how to reply to a customer Machine breakdown, a good engineer has to have a very good problem-solving mind. It's a thing clever/ good engineers have. Ask to pinpoint the root cause before thinking of a remedy to cure the problem. Of course, another way is thinking to yourself SHIT what are we going to do next, but, one's mind whirrs like a computer In search mode until a possible cure is thought of. LOL. Owning any Landrover that you fix yourself is like flying for the first time> You know it works but need good thoughts to ensure It continues to work. A broken plane is no good at 30.000 feet (OK lots of KMs) LOL Each new episode I wonder what comes first, a bit like the chicken or the egg. Thanks for the Tech but more Importantly the humour. Ian. UK. a happy hippo owner. (Or was that a Hippy Happy Owner?)
Ух как красиво и самое главное ,что даже небольшая поломка вам не испортила настроение, с такой подготовленной машиной не страшно путешествовать, молодцы !!
I'm only 5 minutes in, and already falling off my chair laughing 🤣. "Woolly mammoth" and "going to the strip club blindfolded" 🤣🤣. I absolutely love Christian's sense of humor 🤣🤣.
I'm currently getting a Grenadier delivered as a second car to the Disco4. So far, the Disco4 has not let me down with 140000 km, but better safe than sorry.
Thank you, Christian and Vera, for taking us on this LR3 rebuilt journey. Very well edited, entertaining and educational at the same time. Now to the rattle in the transfer case. Could a superbly and beyond factory spec build engine have contributed to expose the remaining weak links in this vehicle? Assuming a factory flexing crankshaft never did expose the slop in the transfer case. When I replaced the engine on my 1989 Chevrolet C2500 with 74k miles with a brand new $1,600 GM Goodwrench engine due to low compression on one cylinder, I did renew every coolant hose, sensor and accessories because of reliability was of utmost importance while traveling long distance for work. However, GM redesigned the coolant hose attachment to the heater matrix with snap lock style plastic connector which I didn't replace. Guess what happened next? That piece broke in the middle between Cody, Wyoming and Ft. Collins, Colorado and luckily stopped me at the base of an uphill run. Fortunately, a trooper passed by and radioed a tow to the nearest Chevrolet dealership in Lander, WY. I believe it was still between 50-100 miles from the junction I broke down to the dealership. The moral of my story is, you can try to do the best, but if you don't replace every aged part in an essential system which keeps you going, most likely it will fail at the most inconvenient place possible. I hope the coolant hose clamp fail didn't cause irreversible damage to the overall effort.
What a great trip, makes me envious of all the history you have to see there. Over the years I lost count of the number of times I had to top up from a mountain stream. When I built my own Turbo-diesel Series 109, I didn't get the cooling right, so I had to stop frequently on trips into the mountains to let things cool. The altitude and road grades really test your vehicle. Glad you had a good trip and I hope you have nice clean oil at the end of it.
You two guys are just brilliant, I wish I had a friend like you Christian. You have so much trouble with your Discovery as I do with my VW passat 2.0 tdi sport brake .
Love your videos, cutting edge quality 😀. If the transfer case clicking occurred, when you had your tyre pressure dropped, could’ve been differential tyre radius between front and back, making something grumble in the transmission.
@Vera_and_Christian Hi Christian and Vera, could I email you regarding what the fix was? My Discovery 3 is making the exact same noise and can't decide between Propshaft or Transfer case problem. Local Landrover specialist says its my Transfer box. However after wiggling the CV end that bolts to the transfer case it went quiet for 30 ish miles. I'm hoping it's a lack of grease in the CV joint of the prop shaft? Thank you so much for any help you can give 🙏
👍 Wow. Well done! (Especially for Vera cycling up that mountain...) Looking forward to you figuring out if you really do have some form of lasting issue (that hasn't worked itself out during your shake-down trip).
Fantastic vlog, always entertaining. Would love to see the routes you take, scenery breathtaking, and only minor issues with the Disco after a full restoration is a win. Thank you for sharing, looking forward to next Sunday
Gorgeous views! I love that you were able to just figure out the coolant issue. When my '06 LR3 HSE got a coolant leak on a trail, we limped it down (fortunately, it had been uphill the whole way until then), and then towed it to Land Rover. We were able to get the hose fixed on the trail, but couldn't get the coolant to circulate. The Land Rover mechanics said it required a special device they have to get it circulating again, and that it couldn't have been fixed on the trail.
That is what Land Rover mechanics would say. They don't want to work on these older cars. We do carry, however, lots of hoses and clamps, o-rings what not to fix most coolant issues on the trail. 👍🙋♀️
Very very beautiful scenery!! Love seeing the Alps!! ❤❤ I love watching the Land Rover drive nicely! If always feels good to properly fix and be able to drive a well taken care of vehicle many miles / km's! Hugs to Vera and Christian!
Absolutely convinced that the next gap in the used Land Rover market is about to be filled, Discovery 3 and 4 are superb cars Iam sure someone will set up re building these 4x4 similar to all the Defender specialist that re build currently. Massive market for a fully re built 3 or 4 in my opinion. Such a versatile and suprisingly econimical vehicle for its size and capabilities. Unfortunately our 2008 Disco 3 overheated at the entrance to Mont Blanc Tunnel in the Summer !! We hired a Kia to finish our Journey to Geneo Cannes and Barcelona did a loop on the way back filled the disco with Evian and drove back to UK in the Disco in one hit. Incredible car we panicked too soon I think and have done 4500 miles no prblems since.
By the way fantastic video Vera and Christian I really don't understand why you don't have a Million subscribers not only are you Disco 3/4 experts but you have amazing editing skills. Top notch Super !
You both have big ⚽⚾🏀🏐🥚 to take a trip like that with an untested rig. 😲 Congratulations on making it back home ok. That's an amazing accomplishment. 🙂
Judging by your sense of humor, I'm convinced that both you guys are actually English. I suspect that you are both originally from Wolverhampton and in fact you're just very good at faking an excellent German accent!😂. Best channel, best people, best content on all of RUclips . No question.
Great shakedown run - ofcourse you guys were soo well prepared to resolve as much as you could with what you had. Looks like a bit of drivetrain investigation and you guys will be home free. Looks forward to the next video hopefully sorting out a few snags 👍
Holy crap, you guys have come so far since I was last here, a full rebuild.. I've got a lot of catching up to do.. Great work as always guys, all the best.. Cheers
Good afternoon Vera & Christian 😊 Nothing better before I go to work watching your test drive in Vera’s LR3 after your amazing 🤩 rebuild Christian 👍🏻 What a beautiful trip with amazing views and of corse a cooked steak 🥩 from Vera 🤣 Unbelievable that the only issues was a hose clamp and the EGR valve 🤔 I’m sure it’ll make a great video fix the transfer case 😊 So until next week take care and hug and kisses for Vera so she’ll be happy 😘 xx
“In Germany everything is forbidden but in Switzerland it was never allowed” 😂😂😂❤
This is so true...😅
That’s great line 😂😂😂
Hilarious!
Stunning place to visit. But, I felt like walking on egg shells the whole time I was there.
But what about Italy? 🇮🇹
@@michaelcaton9358it‘s forbidden in Italy too but they don’t care about. 😉
Never failed to be impressed by just how well organised you guys are. Fantastic video as always guys!
Editing makes everything look easy
To only have missed 1 clamp after a full rebuild is extremely good, you should both give yourselves a big pat on the back. Your trip looked awesome ❤
Both total legends....👍🙂
🤗🙋♀️
I love that you both have a great sense of humour in a crisis ❤ well done Christian 👍

What a treat to see you guys in action! Well done! My only not is - If you are going on a 4x4 trip, always with a partner car
You are never alone in the Western Alps👍👌🙋♀️

ITS LR TIME😊😊😊 thanks for taking us with you.what a great episode today guys.a great rebuild with little going wrong.great humor as always.looking forward to the next episode 😊😊😊
My favourite viewing over Sunday breakfast, thanks to you both.
You should be nominated for a Nobel prize for "making a brand new discovery"!
Brilliant video and stunning views. Vera is a miniature powerhouse when it comes to fitness. I'm really surprised you're not towing a Sankey workshop trailer Christian.
I'm glad you got home, okay? At least we are guaranteed more videos on you fault finding the transfer case and propshaft
Our tools we take are dialed in to what is absolutely necessary. 👍🙋♀️

“We’re not going to show how to make coffee, this is not a Toyota channel” 😂👌
Well we toyota owners don't have to fix our vehicles on the side of the light trail so we can focus on brewing that perfect cup of coffee
Well said!

Brilliant, he looks and acts like like a mechanic, great to see under pressure
you guys fix everything together 😊 one thing i noticed in all this, was ..."Look, you cut the best piece off...." 😂
Wow what beautiful panoramic views from the mountains. What a great location to visit for a engine break in run.
Fabulous. What beautiful scenery.
The engine sounds really good.
The electrical system always lets, Land Rover down.
Never had a electrical issue. All you have to do is take care of your ground points ( and know where they are ) and don‘t let water get inside. That even goes for Toyotas.👍🙋♀️
Great video as always. You guys make me laugh so much with your humour. If those are the only issues after a complete rebuild, that’s pretty good. Well done you guys.
😅👍I think so too. I have put on 6000km by now and running so great. 🙋♀️
Amazing footage from the mountains, I love to drive in the Austrian mountains, the views are spectacular. Thanks for your great content.
Outperforming ASPW here on the scenery front and entertainment throughout with a few mechanical gremlins. Great Work !
I'm a car tech from Texas.....you guys are absolutely hilarious and fun in your everyday interactions with each other. I enjoy your humor very much!
Well done. Excellent result, and fun times for you.
You deconstruct your own B-roll ("I hope he waits for me!").
That is so original - and incredibly funny!
Wonderful - love your spirit for adventure and good cheer, even when things seem to be falling apart!
'There And Back' guarantee, by Christian.That is some fine country side and great night stops.👍👍🙂
Well done , I find it a joy addressing all the Land rover gremlins . It's always worth it . Great video !!! ... (2007 RRS 4.4 owner )

Beautiful Alps. Can you share the route of your drive on the Alps?
I would also love to see that, looks amazing for gravel biking
Fabulous trip with awesome scenery and amazing views.
Even better, you made it home and only had minor post-build niggles to deal with - brilliant!

👍 Wow. Well done!
(Especially for Vera cycling up that mountain...)
Looking forward to you figuring out if you really do have some form of lasting issue (that hasn't worked itself out during your shake-down trip).
On the fuel cap door you put various translations of Diesel. Nafta is what we call Gasoline here in South America.
Good that you had a great trip, after a big rebuild you do get teething troubles but you sorted them out, it was a good test of the rebuild
Fantastic vlog, always entertaining. Would love to see the routes you take, scenery breathtaking, and only minor issues with the Disco after a full restoration is a win. Thank you for sharing, looking forward to next Sunday
Love your humour guys, your bravery touring in a Disco and your German ! 😊 ❤

I have been putting on 6000km ever since the rebuild and it drives like a swiss watch. Love it so much. 👍👌🙋♀️
I hope you don't get fed-up of complements, but here's another one. 'You never disappoint' 😊
😅👍🙏🙋♀️
I was surprised by how much the German autobahn looks like the Canning stock route.
Absolutely convinced that the next gap in the used Land Rover market is about to be filled, Discovery 3 and 4 are superb cars Iam sure someone will set up re building these 4x4 similar to all the Defender specialist that re build currently.
Massive market for a fully re built 3 or 4 in my opinion.
Such a versatile and suprisingly econimical vehicle for its size and capabilities.
Unfortunately our 2008 Disco 3 overheated at the entrance to Mont Blanc Tunnel in the Summer !! We hired a Kia to finish our Journey to Geneo Cannes and Barcelona did a loop on the way back filled the disco with Evian and drove back to UK in the Disco in one hit.
Incredible car we panicked too soon I think and have done 4500 miles no prblems since.

Excellently entertaining and fun video to watch, I love ❤️ your sense of humours, hello from Ireland ☘️
Holy crap, you guys have come so far since I was last here, a full rebuild.. I've got a lot of catching up to do.. Great work as always guys, all the best..
Cheers
Driving in Australia is pretty much the same speeds, 100klm. And 110klm/h but for excitement they switch it to 90klms just to keep you on your toes..

Good afternoon Vera & Christian 😊 Nothing better before I go to work watching your test drive in Vera’s LR3 after your amazing 🤩 rebuild Christian 👍🏻 What a beautiful trip with amazing views and of corse a cooked steak 🥩 from Vera 🤣 Unbelievable that the only issues was a hose clamp and the EGR valve 🤔 I’m
sure it’ll make a great video fix the transfer case 😊 So until next week take care and hug and kisses for Vera so she’ll be happy 😘 xx
