Full Overhaul of our Land Rover Discovery 3 / S4-Ep21
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2024
- We started a complete overhaul of our 2006 Land Rover Discovery 3. The car is now 17 years old and has 270.000 km on the clock. We love this car very much and decided to renew it completely, even though the engine is running perfectly. We just do not want to take the risk of a major engine failure of the TDV6 - which is well known for oil starvation. This is episode one of this exercise.
We are not liable for any harm you do to your car, your engine, your surroundings or yourself. Use the information given in this video at your own risk.
Thanks for watching,

Who said germans don't have a sense of humour? You guys are hilarious! Keep up the great work and videos coming. Love from Australia from a recovering LR addict.
These folks have reached the limit for germans :D
Us English 🤣
I love the part where he says he is not a drug dealer 😂😂😂that was hilarious. Love your show from South Africa
Yeah, they are trying. That joke,about The Police man asking why his wife is in such a state ! With him explaining her various accidents !
I think that most German people have, a tongue in cheek humour. Where, actually. The joke is, how casual they are about some horrendous crime !
Or perhaps behaving in an unacceptable way in a blundering , clumsy way yet still determined in their determination to reach a goal .
people who believe internet memes and subscribe to conspiracy theories
To the professional moaners and dumb ass armchair mechanics who think you know better... post the links to all the work you've done and filmed and let us be the judge of how smart you are...
No matter what mood you are in, Christian & Vera definitely make you smile. This is going to be an epic series to watch. The more I watch, the more British Christian sounds with his witty one-liners and jokes.
Well said AW Services
you may be too young to realise this but you don't actually have to have a yt channel in order to have an opinion.
Thank you Christian and Vera for another enjoyable and entertaining video 👏🏻
The clock breaking in the first 20 seconds almost killed me haha😂
First rule of home mechanicing: if you borrow something from the kitchen and break it, never ever confess, hide the bits, surreptitiously buy another. 😇😇😇
@@abarratt8869 Otherwise the couch awaits ....
That was the best 👌 😁 🤣
@@abarratt8869 Apparently curing powder coat in the kitchen oven is forbidden too. Who knew?
@@markrainford1219 Car wheels? Another car part?
My Pa got into trouble with one part of a car engine in the oven, another in the freezer...
I've long since found that car service bills hurt less than spousal disapproval for misuse of kitchen facilities!
I have to say that effectively ‘restoring’ your D3 is a real testament to your commitment to the brand. And I love Christian’s description of the keyboard mechanics. Awesome episodes on the way 👍
I just took my 17 year old Discovery 3 down to the fields to check a newly planted crop. A guy who lives in our village is a recently retired LR Director (only 50 something years old!). I told him that when I get home, I will watch this video and I will forward it to him. I am sure he going to enjoy it.
He then said that the Discovery 3 was a huge landmark for LR, so good that they should still be making that same vehicle today. Which makes me smile that he arrived at the field in a one year old Defender!
Anyway guys, keep up the good work. You are doing it all right!
I especially love the idea of the frame and jockey wheels to mount the body on work on the underside, without occupying your 2 post lift.
PS, IMO every Discover, RRS and RR should use a maximum of 18” rims for a more comfortable, less bumpy ride on badly maintained roads.
Disco 3 was their big transition from Disco 2 "rock crawler" to "mall crawler". Too bad they didn't keep the Defender Disco2 suspension. Also, it appears that they made a lot of complicated "enhancements" to the vehicle leading to multiple failures (as well documented by LRTIME).
Yes I almost agree with you lol I have a 4.2 Supercharged Overfinch Range Rover it was running 285-35ZR-22's and the ride was frankly bloody awful ! I got a secondhand set of Pirelli Scorpion M+S 255-55's on 19" rims and it transformed the ride completely. I don't do crazy speeds these days as I'm getting too old so the "Lesser" grip tyres are no problem and on wet grass I can actually get where I want to go!
@@samrodian919 Yes, the 255 width tires are just right. Those big fat tires are only good for show and make for squirrelly handling.
Big rims and rubber band tyres are all about show. The ride is horrible, they buckle easily, the vehicle can’t use the (allegedly better) grip. Just NO.
Why not publish a “Most annoying criticism” award.
The 5w Dumbass of the month, as a starting point?
That is a good idea. We would have 3 first places every video. Christian
Don't know if you are doing it right or wrong I don't have a discovery but I sure enjoy my trip to Germany every Sunday many thanks 🏆🏆
Let me tell you that I am very impressed with your work and professionalism, and one of the most beautiful things in the universe is that you do the work that you love in your home, with all the tools necessary for work. I wish you health and strength to make us happy to do all these educational episodes Thank you again, Christian and Vera.
I think you are some of the kindest, hardworking and honest people on RUclips. Those comments, just forget them, you are doing a tremendous job!
You’ve become a reality car show for petrol heads 👍amazing job well done
This promises to be another very interesting series, I really like the way you two work as team, I have no doubt at all that if that was a Mercedes you would have broken anything that was made of plastic, "they seem to design it to break" they have a special ABS mix, it's Absolute Bloody Shite and found a LOT more rust. don't ask me how I know.
Have you seen Lanoguard anti rust protector? Had my L322 done. Very pleased with it compared to Dinitrol etc. Much easier to apply. Not hydrocarbon based. Based on lanolin which is the oil in sheep’s wool. I’m a fan 😊
@Vera_and_Christian
Right!!!!! IF frame off THAN.....
Its worth the hardcore invest!
Long term, you save tons of money and time and you will get a toyotadrivingexperiance
in a LR!!!!! How coool is this!
Christian and Vera, you two can upload the full length of the video without time lapse and I will still watch it!
Amazing video as usual!
your work is fantastic take no notice of the moron keyboard warriors ,,
Seriously??
Still nothing learned about Toyota after months?
Thanks, I think your gonna need this fabulous content. Thank you for bringing cheer to Sunday morning.
Thank you very much Terry. We’ll do our best to keep this car on the road. Long way to go. Christian
I laughed out loud when the clock fell off. I also need one of those invisible masks off Amazon 😂 you guys are so funny and great to seethe progress on the LR3
“Mall crawler” 😅 In England we call them “Chelsea Tractors” as they’re all bling, never go near any dirt and are only used by posh ladies in Chelsea, a very expensive suburb of London.
Hi guys another very interesting and entertaining video. Thank you both for your commitment to keeping your LR3 in prime condition. I’m already looking forward to next Sunday.
Me too , sad isn’t it …:)
40€per rim, that's so cheap...
Thanks, Sunday morning is now LR TIME ❤
To cheer you up as regards the sniping of the armchair mechanics, may I recommend to watch the sketches of the comedian Harry Enfield involving his 'irritating know-it-all dad' character who advises various people with both household tasks and diverse jobs, viz: 'Oooh, you don't want to do it like that , you want to do it like this' Or 'You don't want to use one of those, you want to use one of these' etc etc.
Lol. 😂😂😂
Hi folks. I studied Chemistry and thought of Land Rovers. Because we learned that things should be engineered with, metals the same. Iron with iron. Yet, The Land Rover used to have a Aluminium body.
So, it's nice to see a couple working with their baby, as a car is like a baby to some people, I heard.
I wonder if the body is still Aluminium or are modern Land Rovers steel ?
What a complex machine and really an incredible achievement to own this amazing thing .
My only tip is to wear gloves and beware of stupid mistakes in British Engineering.
In the UK they are trying to price these cars off the road, I think you should get a tax break for keeping old cars going instead of getting a new car every 12 months.
I bet the co2 footprint of this old LR3 beats most electrical vehicles. Christian
As a mechanic myself I didn't see anything at all worthy of criticism in the last series! Maybe a bit anal in final assembly but hey that's the difference between a 30,000 mile and a 300,000 mile engine, and I'm glad Christian pointed this out! I don't know why armchair viewers get so.. shitty 😑 Anyhow, again another series I personally look forward to!! Can't wait for next Sunday
Brilliant! If it comes apart with no damage who cares if it’s the right way?! Keyboard mechanics, Pah!🙈🙈
I would watch a 1 hour video if that was required to keep things moving and made it easier for you & vera when editing.
There's preventative maintenance when you have time, or reactive maintenance when you don't..
Hi Christian & Vera, really looking forward to watching this project develop! Firstly, regarding the crankshaft, do you take the view that once it's lasted 270,000 KM, there's a really good chance it won't fail? Secondly, you mention oil starvation in the description but you must have good oil pressure (new oil pump & 5W40), so are you concerned about historical oil pressure (old oil pumps, 5W30) and the effect on engine wear, or are you concerned about further improving oil pressure going forward? Or perhaps you're concerned about potential oil loss through the turbo, valve stem oil seals, piston rings? Thanks for the videos, they're superb👍
Is it sad that this is the first thing I check for on a Sunday morning. Keep em coming 😊
danke Vera und Christian, Sonntag mit Euch und viel Spaß, dankt Euch bin Landy Besitzer eines Disco3 mit Motorschaden aber jetzt der Wagen fährt nach % Monaten Werkstatt. Macht WEITER !!!!!
Good evening Vera & Christian 😊 just back from Albufeira Portugal 🇵🇹 after a holiday so nothing better that a LR video to chill out. Love how concerned Vera is about her beloved Land Rover 🤩 Looking forward again for another exciting LR time video. As always a big kiss for Vera for her dedication on videoing all the hard work Christian puts in xx
Christian, you express really well what so many non Toyoda owners feel. It is a much more emotional connection to these great, yet sometimes flawed but very “lovable” engineering marvels. 😊
I do hope poor vera will survive all this trauma - having her beloved Disco 3 stripped before her very eyes. 😉
Well I’ve put her in a 2016 LR4 for the time of the repair. Hope this eases her pain. She does complain about the push button start…. Christian
Wow, this is a great show. Just a tip: When restoring the body work, use a rust converter as this will get to any unseen hole that have the potential to restart the rust process from underneath the new primer and top paint, you can if you want to remove this new layer but most rust converters are also like a primer coat. Still think you should extend the filming time as some people are not sure how to use a spanner, i.e. Toyota drivers. Looking forward to the next video.
Simply brilliant video guys, thank you both for all your efforts.. keep up the great work 👍👍
I love your video's! Never mind the comment's, you are doing a great job, and not many people would go this far with maintaining their vehicle!
ITS LR TIME😊😊😊 once again great video.such dedication to detail.this discovery will be better than from the factory.looking forward to the next great episode next sunday.till then you guys have a great week😊😊😊
I have a Range Rover classic with a Toyota Diesel engine, best thing I have ever owned!
😳👍
your work gets better and better.
Vera And especially Christian Do not even bother responding to the Idiot desktop know f%#√All They're jealous losers with No life.
It's because your work ethic is top notch all the haters come crawling out and spewing nonsense they know nothing of.
I enjoy all your content both Vera/Christian make a fantastic couple working endlessly with No complaints but dry humour and jokes.🤣😂
Thank you for all the sacrifices you endure every week so we can sit back in comfort and enjoy another episode of LR Time.👍🙏🤗
How much time does it took?
Oh no Christian you did it all wrong again!!!!!!!!! We do't know why you don't listen to viewers comments!!!! Oh NOOOOOOO 😂😂😂😂😂 Great entertainment from the LR valley productions 👍🏻👍🏻
Mine is on 205 thousand miles. 2008 car belts done last year air suspension re built, auto transmission re built. Christian Vera should I re build the Engine ????? She is running like a dream, hopefully she will do our Liverpool, France, Belgium,Germany, Switzerland,Milan Italy,Tuscany Napoli return Via Slovenia and Hungary Frankfurt Liverpool trip this year. But if we make it there and back should I rebuild the Engine ??? Love your Content, amazing work, I sold my products via my distributor in Bremen all over DE, he always amazed me how organised he was Mr Vesshoff, I do believe if I had been half as organised as him I would be retired now.
But I had the product he wanted, he was just very good at distributing and selling it.
I am sure he told his customers it was German. It only ever had made in the EU on the packaging. Always loved the German manufacturing Industries and way of life not for everyone but I get it. I think I get you two as well good luck with this but I don't think you need luck
Guys, only a suggestion but please take a look at VACTAN Rust treatment, we have three Range Rover's (don't ask) but its truly incredible. I take your point about Lanoguard but the two working together is simply incredible. I love the Show please keep going.
Br Peter
Love the desktop mechanic remark, RUclips, Facebook, forums full of them usually chatting rubbish.....😂
Flipping Desk top mechanics.
Have they done an engine change body on and body off. Or just body off? Are they making videos to help everybody else? Thanks to you guys I changed a 2.7TDV6 in my Discovery 3 Body on. You guys inspire me to have a go!!! I am thinking I will now rebuild my old engine which may only have a blown head gasket. I will also do this body on. Keep going Christian and Vera!!! Can’t wait to watch how you go with the rebuild!
God bless you from Australia!!!
Hi, Christian & Vera,, I've watched many of your fantastic videos. My name is Kenny and I'm from Scotland. I had to send you this message as I found you both to be extremely happy with each other and your lives together along with your sons.. I was a mechanic to trade and its great to see you making tools to help carry out the various projects for your own cars and those of your friends.. Both of you are extremely kind and generous and wish you everything that you would wish for yourselves. I only wish your hobby was for BMW 640D's.. 😂. Great Blacksmithing and bike tricks from your younger son. Wishing you and your family continued health & happiness.
Drug dealer…lol 😂
This is so cool! I'm a newbie to the LR3 scene and am searching for one to buy at the moment. Both of your enthusiasm is infectious and I've really enjoy watching your videos. Thank you! I've subscribed and look forward to the next episode. Cheers from New Zealand :)
Missed opportunity to quip “time flies when your having fun’ when holding the clock! I think your both amazing BTW, I wish you were a little closer to me, I would love some help with my P38.
Coming from the Netherlands to Germany on the Autobahn with my 20“-D4: Still limited to 185! What is wrong with the car? TIA 😂
You guys are hilarious. I love your sense of humor!
"I got these silly 20 inch rims on here. I know some people think they look good, but I'm not a drug dealer, ok? They don't suit my needs."
That was golden 🤣🤣🤣.
Did you see Car Care Nut with his 600,000 mile Lexus? He used LR Time style tools with extensions and socket swivels, spent 5 hours getting off his front wheel bearing bolts and when he reassembled he did not use a torque wrench. Christian might know somehing about Toyota after all.
Hello Christian i want to ask you how much kilometers can a jaguar xj 3.0d 275 ps 2011 take with this engine.. with very good maintenance and oil changes?
Have enjoyed watching you videos for a while now , shame we have to wait for our Sunday treat. You cant possibly be German with that humour of yours it is magical.
I hope I'm not to late on your 2.7 discovery 3 rebuild, i would like to know what position from TDC is the number 1 piston when the locking tool is inserted . i am trying to re time a a failed oil pump . without removing the starter and locking the flywheel using a dial gauge through the injector orifice , i know it isn't TDC but about 15mm below TDC on the up or may be down. any advise would be great full
this is on a range rover sport 2.7 the engine may be faulty anyway but engine turns over ok, just trying it , before I condemn it.
Apologies for missing a couple of episodes; I’ll catch up with a binge watch session shortly.
Just enjoyed this episode with a nice mug of hot chocolate and a few fruit shortcake biscuits, what with it being Spring Bank Holiday.
I'm glad you watch Sarah-n-Tune. She is in Tucson like me. I have Toyota 4RUNNER so I have time to watch your videos.
No video this week 😢
Hi guys I am in South Africa ,having changed all the cooling components e.g radiator ,water pump, thermostat but my coolant seems not circulating ,my reservoir remains cold what could be wrong ? Please help
Glad to see you have room for Parkside in your life. Sure, you get what you pay for, but they have their place. Pop in for milk, land home with a jigsaw and some chocolate drill bits. They know how to extract the cash.
I'm curious to see the rust status of the frame and underbody, especially considering all the problems the earlier LR's have with rotten chassis. What could be seen in this video looks good.
Spent most of the last twenty years. In Germany on Business but mostly pleasure. I collect Porsche’s. You are the Epitome of the Beautiful lovely people. I’ve met. Keep up the excellent work
Bought a discovery 3 with discovery 4 lights on it. Already bought an original set to go back on. Loves the videos. Always entertaining. Keep up the great work 👍
I am looking for an auxiliary battery location for 2016 lamdrover discovery sport 2.0l manual
“Invisible Respirator” no wonder many can’t see it. Thankfully I’ve seen it lol 😂 I’m
Any suggestions where I can do this overhaul in Germany? Any good workshop?
I like the way the Amazon Invisible Respirator also protects your ears from all the grinding noise…..
The object of the exercise was to separate the body from the chassis, from what I could tell on each occasion you have done this you have been successful. Who cares what order you take a clip or a bolt out, if you don't break anything in the process then you have achieved your goal. These goons that complain about your procedures probably don't know the difference between a woodruff key and an ignition key so their comments are about as valid as the guy selling rocking horse poo.
This is my Sunday morning routine wake up, toilet, cup of tea , LR Time😂😂
Go to church
Guess I need to drive my 99 LR Disco 1 with 174K to German for a full off body resto from Seattle. :)
Don't mind the comment: " You did it all wrong" They are all toyota mechanics, and they have no practise or understanding, since they only work on toyotas!.
Absolutely mind boggling... I was wondering if LR has ever offered you a job.
Christian and Vera, let the haters hate, don't pay attention to them. Keep up the amazing work you are doing.
Hi guys,my low coolant warning light came on Disco 4 ,water level not low is it the switch in the expansion tank ? Thanks Richard.
Seeing the underbody rust made me shudder. I bought a Jag X-type at auction once which turned out to be a personal import from Europe where they salt the roads. It looked like it had been sitting at the bottom of the ocean for 10 years. Faaaar worse than yours.
Well done mate keep going l give you a tip buy your self some land rover overalls with your name on that should shut up the old farts always complaining about how you work I am a retired mechanic and it works for me take care of yourselves 😉 Barry
I’ve renamed Britpart (Shitpart) the quality is sadly lacking.
Fantastic that you are completely overhauling the LR3 can,t wait well done Vera & Christian
Oh it’s manual!!!
Great video and really please you speak in English. But, out of interest, why are the videos in spoke English as opposed to German?
My le3 with 232k miles on it needs the front differential replaced. Lots of whine. Have you guys done a video on that ?
On your steel, i use Bilt Hamber it's a rust convertor, i wouldn't use anything else, i have coated a piece of steel with it & left it outside for around 12 months & no rust has returned
I waiting for next chapter ...You are amazing.Master of L.R..❤
Fantastic video really enjoy watching from New Zealand
It doesn't matter how you decide to take a body off it is your choice, on my classic Austin club members say drop the engine down & get it out from underneath, i use a crane & lift it out from the top, it's my choice no one elses & it's not any harder the way i do it
Missed having a Sunday fix of OMG. All the best wishes.
I WANT YOUR STICKER LOGO !!! ❤❤❤ Ill put in my LR3 here in Brazil
My favourite RUclips channel - Great Video. 👍
Bro I need a vedio or photo to see how the propeller looks under the land rover discovery 3 from rear diff to the Front gear tranmissin pleae
Brilliance in motion. The only thing you have not taught us is how to fix a dead radio!
Christian How do I get one of the shirts! Do you have a merch page?!?
Heaven forbid Christian gets any smart-ass comments.
Best content on RUclips pertaining to everything Discovery. So glad you have another project
I've been looking forward to this series! :D
Awesome work guys - another entertaining video!
Is this the Peugeot engine that breaks its crankshaft because they designed it too short?
Excellent video very interesting thank you.
