When I was an apprentice we called this type of meticulous engine build "blue printing" when the engine was built to a much tighter tolerance than normal engines, this was done for trucks going out on demonstration to potential fleet buyers, now "blueprinting" has lost its meaning, but glad to see you are keeping up the old school standard, so well done.
Hello together. Great Channel! I'm a big fan from the beginning! actually I was a Toyota driver, and my live was really boring! nothing to do the whole year. After I found your channel, I bought a D3 for my wife. And since then my life changed 360°. Now I'm more a kind of an entertainer for my neighbors. There is no weekend where I'm not working under the hood of the D3. What a wonderful life it is now! Thanks a lot! best regards Fuxl
I am glad this worked out for you. Toyotas get you into the habit of sitting in front of them with a beer 🍺 in your hand and a divorce approaching. LR vehicles prevent this. Christian
This has been the best LR and automobile engineering channel I have ever watched and subscribed to.👌👌👌 You guys are amazing. Not only is it about car repair, it also spreads the great message of true love ❤️and companionship between husband and wife. Throughout, the videos are filled with the spirit of friendship, and punctuated with loads of humour, smiles and laughter. Thank you Vera and Christian. 🙏"Keep the fire burning burning guys." Wish you a wonderful Christmas and a happy New Year.
LR Time, for Christmas buy yourselves Toyota's, then you can sit back in your home and watch RUclips videos of other people repairing Land Rovers. 😁. Only kidding please don't stop with the information and entertainment you both give. All the best for 2022.
My, my, my. The apprentice is starting to become the fussy master. Your workshop still amazes me. Nice also to see the grand master helping too. I find these videos so satisfying (and entertaining) to watch. Thank you Christian and Vera.
Not only an electrician, a mechanic and a toolmaker also, great instructional video Christian and Vera. Hopefully this video doesn't mean your friend Fabian's D3 has failed again, it's just put of sequence. Please tell me the D3 is still going ok...
I’d say Christian had the vernier callipers out on the turkey for Xmas dinner. 🙄poor Vera “the right leg is 2 microns bigger than the left “, only joking 😀😀👍👍💕
No, we shot that video while we were building up the engine. We did this repair for free, so we have to at least produce a little bit of content. 🙋♀️Vera
Another enjoyable video!!!! I was surprised to see the gasket selection process - having done it myself for a much older vehicle, I assumed that it wouldn't be required on a modern one. Absolutely meticulous attention to detail, Christian and Vera! Cheers!
Now I know why the D4 is the "Mall crawler", because Vera does all the work. Hauling all that wood and then going to make lunch. Christian has an easy life. 😉 PF2022 to you both 🍾🥂 and keep up the excellent work - thanks for these wonderful videos. 🥂
@@ian_s7481 Yeah but do know how much of our own money and 3 months time spend on someone elses car, and not getting a lot in return? We can't afford that, even finacially, again. We will, however certainly get a project Land Rover and hopefully do an entire rebuild. 😃💪🙋♀️Vera
How interesting. The discreet guy with the hat is your dad? Such skill to a normal person is a sight to see you have a proper workshop there. Keep them coming it’s an education and great to see.
Hi , glad to see your POP is back to keep an eye on you both , pression at it,s best . Could you please make a video of you both cooking Sunday dinner for your folks with the pression , that my Domestic Goddess may strive to meet , an export of German menu pression . Great work , thank you for the video . 😉👍
A day late, but Merry Christmas. I could sit and watch Christian machine parts all day. You could start a business machining high quality precision tools for us DIY guys. Why buy Chinese when we can buy LRTime tools. lol. Vera, put those boys to work and make them fetch the wood for you.
@@Vera_and_Christian it is always hard to accept that your child has become an adult but that is what parents nurtured them to be - independent, self sufficient and capable to make something of their life. Hopefully he continues being an artistic blacksmith.
Hi Vera & Christian - Happy New Year to you both. I look forward to more LR content in 2022. I'm a big fan of older LR vehicles. "Oh My God" [ aka Vera ] - did I say that! Toyota owners all over the World will be slowly shaking there heads in sadness!
The title of this video should be "Quality Engineering Can Be Fun!" Fabulous work and so entertaining too. Wishing you both a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Hi Vera, can I suggest you make a video that collates all of the times Christian says you are right? You both should be very happy with the great videos and show us Germans do have a sense of humour!
Merry Christmas Christian and Vera and a prosperous New Year. I thoroughly enjoy your series on all things Landrover Discovery L3/4. Brilliant and a funny narrative. 👍
Merry Christmas Christian and Vera just read your comments on Vera’s proposed power winch plans excellent - l will not be sorting out my sock drawer, keep up the great videos, regards Joe
Nun, es war wichtig für den Wiederaufbau. Und unser Freund OutbackDiscovery, der auch seinen Motor wieder aufbauen muss, freut sich bestimmt. Dem schicken wir dann auch das Tool nach Australien. 👍🙋♀️Vera
Evening Vera and Christian. Hope you both had a wonderful Christmas with your family 😄 Absolutely brilliant loved the banter between you both it makes your LR channel very special 🤩 Stevie 😍🏴
You guys do such a great job of getting those videos out. Keep up the good work, I am very grateful of you dedication and the informative entertaining content. You have a good range of machinery to keep you out of mischief. Love it when father and son do some work on a project with Christian as father or son. Thank you for 2021 videos. All the best for the new year.
Merry Christmas you two! Vera, you are meticulous! Fantastic, and you week right to persist. That said I would have gone for a number 3 gasket, No risk and you lose virtually nothing in terms of power and efficiency/scavaging. All the very best, these videos are great fun!
I'm about to go get 2012 LR4 HSE, this video gave me hope that it is possible to properly repair it, loved the LR3 (had a 2006), if something goes wrong would you come to NY to help me? GREAT VIDEO.
Merry Christmas family LR Time! Thanks so much for all the quality edutainment you've shared this year! You guys are awesome. :) That's really a beautifully made gauge mount block Christian - cool technique to cut the bandsaw blade. Which bandsaw brand is it, out of interest?. Hey - it might be interesting to see how repeatable a cheap British 3D printed ripoff of such a quality German tool would be ;) ...especially considering the limited use it's ever likely to received (though maybe not in your case ;). If you care to publish a drawing with dimensions, I can whip it up in Onshape and share a link for anyone to download, print and try.
Amazing🙂👍 That band saw just boggles the mind. You just cut the band, make that slot and weld it back together again a couple of times😳👍. Wonder If the compression ratio is affected by choosing gasket no. 2 compared to gasket no.3?
Happy New Year, Vera & Christian. Excellent video as usual. What a huge effort to make this special once in the lifetime tool, including cutting your band saw blade twice for this slot. I just wonder if you could just used a precision steel ruler on top of the piston and then measured the gap with a feeler gauge. You should get a measurement to 0.05mm, good enough for this job. If you simply fit the #3 head gasket, no damage will happen, only compression will be slightly lower. But it's a turbo, so no problem. But this wouldn't be the Christian & Vera way and way less entertaining. 🙂 Greetings from the What Cruiser country.
Hi, wished to say am in awe of this latest project , hats off to both of u , also wish to send a very happy 2022 to u and ur loved ones , plus hope u don’t mind me asking please , have u ever heard of a -- “ Supplementary engine coolant temperature sensor “ --- plse , mine is showing minus 40 degrees , can’t find any mention of this anywhere , also got ---N/A on the Boost pressure actuator - Bank 1, , -- sorry I’m waffling , lol, all the best for 2022 and thank both of you so much for bringing such fantastic videos, PS have just become a patreon because I love this channel so much
The LR3 has multiple temp sensors: ambient outside (front), coolant, oil sump, diesel return, intake air temp and interior temp. I suggest to read the engine controls and sensor section of the LR3 workshop manual. You find it at disco3.co.uk. Christian
Maybe when you repair all LR from your neighborhood you will make few tutorial videos of machining process ? Also great idea will be to make a tour around your workshop. Happy New Year for you and all LR TIME fans :)
I wish I was my age but had your skills. I think my Disco 4 head gasket is failing. My coolant is being blown out of the expansion tank due to some high pressure in the system. I have heard changing the head gasket is a nightmare on these cars. Oddly enough though, the car does not overheat but will show a “low coolant level” warning but the coolant never completely runs out
I know it was slightly early, but its hilarious to see a family have the obligatory Christmas period "disagreement" concerning piston height on a V6 diesel, rather than who carves the Turkey! 😁
You guys rock! I think everybody should cancel their Netflix subscription and donate 10 dollars a month to you guys instead =) Love your videos, a very merry Christmas to you and your family!
Haha, you two are funny. Christian, even though Vera doesn't appreciate how sexy that block of steel is, myself and (I'm sure)others do. Nice bandsaw too. Wish I could make and modify blades for mine.
For me it is normal that Christian fabricates something incredible.😅👍But he actually caught me off guard and did not even give me a chance to look at it closely. 😅🙋♀️ Vera
If Ford had paid as much attention to making a good crankshaft as they did to gasket thickness you wouldn't have had to make that High Quality Instrument, because the engine wouldn't have needed a rebuild :)
When you torque the heads down, that will compress the gaskets - I suppose the thickness dimension of the gaskets are based on compressed thickness at recommended head bolt torque settings and procedure? Merry Newtonmas** and a happy new year to you all. (**bought to my attention by another famous German content creator and Physicist).
@@Vera_and_Christian Thanks Vera. I know that very well. Christians look is enough to reinforce that :) What I was asking - badly perhaps is the table of gasket thickness you guys used, that would have referred to the compressed thickness, not the thickness of the gasket out of the bag?
Ich finde Euch klasse - eine Frage habe ich als Besitzer eines Discovery4 mit mittlerweile neuem Motor. Könnt Ihr mir sagen wie ich an die Anleitung komme die ihr auf dem Rechner hattet bei der Reparatur des Ölsensors der schon ab Werk nicht richtig eingebaut war. Über Hilfe würde ich mich freuen. Grüße aus dem Landkreis Da-Di

Hi Christian just hoping you can help me LAND ROVER DISCOVERY 3 TDV6 REAR EXHAUST MANIFOLD LINK PIPE can I fit this without taking the engine out or body off or can I just remove and put blanking plates in hope you have an idea I watch all your videos I am in Australia. we dont have rust here hehehe
Are you referring to the crossover pipe behind/above the engine? If so, it can be removed with the engine in place from below. The procedure is in the workshop manual. It’s a difficulty of 11 on a scale of 10. There are some points of no return if something breaks. The exhaust bolts/studs of the turbo or of the crossover pipe connection to the manifold. There are some bolts so difficult to reach that you want to shredder the car in pieces. Christian
You can tell it's Christmas . Vera was right . Only for a few seconds until 30yrs and 60yrs experience overruled her . OMG . Maybe next year Vera . LOL Merry Christmas to you all. Fattrucker

It was good to see your father there, it was like watching the master and his apprentice
Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you both. Please keep making these wonderful videos. They are such great fun. 🎅🤶
Fantastic attention to detail. Superb. And so good to see Christian's father on screen. What a wonderful family you have.
Great video, great to see your father there helping too , particularly liked the band saw operation 👍🏻

Amazing accuracy, I've watched all your rebuild videos, better than any commercial rebuild companies, still in awe!
