The reason it takes you so long is just because you are German I.e. very precise and accurate, in other words you do it properly 😀

I love the way he restarts the introduction to the video to pull down Vera's vest, to save her blushes.... and then shows it anyway! I don't know how you put up with him Vera!

The whole day working with Vera is ok with me

Man, Christian is not just a great mechanic, He is a Master Skilled Craftsman. Truly impressive. Now I’m back on the Disco wagon AGAIN!! Lol

Christian and Vera keep doing what you are doing, love the humour and the engineering, fantastic all the best from the UK.

Amazing how it’s much faster through the magic of editing.

I only discovered (unintended pun there) your channel a few days ago. Loving your work and German humour (the German sense of humour is no laughing matter). You have inspired to buy another disco. I last had a Discovery 2 in the late 90's.

you need a boron drill bit for that pillar any structural section on the disco IE door pillars sills windscreen pillars are boron steel very very hard to drill

vera's giggle is very funny great video guys, it takes you so long because you do the job properly. best wishes to you both from the UK.

You did good, don’t think nobody makes it in 2 hour. Not as nice as this one. Well don!

I know from experience that drilling the door pillar is tough. Glad it's not just me :-)

Completed this yesterday....in seven and a half hours!!! Thanks for the video.

I am always behind on the recommended times. I fitted a long range tank in the spare wheel location, it took me a whole day. The rear wheel carrier took me 2 days, so much for the expected 4 hours.

The reason why you might take a little longer to do some jobs is that you do such high quality work. Carry on 'doing it your way' my friend, you do it right. It is also very good for helping other people do the same jobs. Dave

Your videos just keep getting better all the time. So educational and entertaining to watch. The emoji going across the screen when Christian was about to start drilling is exactly the facial expression I had watching, I was so anxious for you👍

I love the way you and your wife love your LR3. Have you’ve heard the term “German engineering”? Everything is well thought out, precised, and fits and performs perfectly.

After watching this video, I canceled the purchase I made few minutes ago. Thank you sincerely lol!

Hi Christian and Vera Im a number one fan from Tanzania. i love your videos I watched all your videos and I always waiting for new one every day .. engineer plus humor👍

Thanks for showing me the long way

The differences you did it properly you didn’t Cut corners you do a nice job😁🇬🇧👍

Entertaining, as always...

Brave man! With all the salt used in roads in Ontario, Canada there is no way I'd be drilling more holes in my inner fender or A pillar.

I have seen your work, Christian. A quality job takes time. It would have taken me longer. Anyone who did all that would have to have done many of them before, or is doing a poor job. Keep up the great work!

I do not removed light and what you did , exactly less than 2 hours I did great job .and of course your video made more easy-to-use

Love this channel .

Excellent well engineered

Omg I love you guys!

Looks great! Good job!

Excellent job 👍 🛠

Thank you for all 👏

Well done guys great video as always👍🏻

Gründlichkeit. Well done !

Love your videos keep up the good work.

Good team work 😁👍🏻

Great video as always, the LR is looking superb.

Nothing like a Landy, great work again.

fantastic video =), ty ty

you both are so funny, love this channel !

Very good job us always! Don't worry about what you hear worry about what you see... If you see someone do it in 2 hours then start to worry.. I don't think you going to see many people smarter than you..

Christian ,Vera quite obviously you guys always do a great job and always to the very best of your capabilities it really doesn’t matter how long it takes but people who brag and say it’s only taken 2 hours quite honestly then They haven’t done a quality job its been. bodged ..

Another challenging installation completed. Well done :-)

Good video as always :D

Thank you Christian for wonderful details you show on channel ..

I agree, the areo blades are just superior and worth a little extra

Absolutely brilliant - you guys crack me up - pleasure to watch 😁👍

A tidy job well executed, the care and precision you use does you credit, another great video.

Preparing the Disco for Icelandic adventures perhaps 😁

Christian and Vera great video and as always entertaining ,,))))😃🇬🇧

Very good and detailed instructional video. Thank you. A snorkel is the next install I do on my Discovery 3.

Anther great video you guys thanks again I am looking forward to next Sunday 😎👍

Wie immer ein Super Video macht bitte weiter so!

Hi Vera and Christian 👍🏻 That was really interesting 😃🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Love your videos, and your dry sense of humour too. Hope freinds and family are safe with the bad rainfall in parts of EU and in GMB. Cheers

Well done and as always you chose the cheap, oops inexpensive version! Now we all know what the Vera replacement post looks like! As always nice work.

Lovely.

One more time very good

I installed a Safari Snorkel onto my Discovery 3. I have installed a couple of snorkels in the past on different vehicles and to be honest Christian, I did think you were kidding with the drilling effort on the A-Pillar. i was wrong, very wrong!! Drilling the A-Pillar holes were a real pain. We had to sharpen the drill bits many, many times. We broke two drill bits. The last hole was the one that hurt the most, the drill bit broke, the drill bounced on to the A Pillar, then remaining drill bit stub stabbed the windscreen causing three cracks through both layers of glass. Fortunately an after market windscreens installed price was not too dear. I was entitled to quite a large discount through the auto-club I am in (due to the many years of membership) similar to your ADAC. The windscreen I ordered was the one with the Automatic rain sensing mount. When the chap removed the broken windscreen I could see there was absolutely no corrosion, rust or any sign of water ingress past the seals. Hopefully the installer did as good a job as the land Rover factory did with their install.

Love your channel, brilliant, I have a mantec snorkel, it’s a lot easier to fit than the one you have, a lot less faff!!! Keep the videos coming…. J👍

oh and very good video atb

I had the same problem drilling the pillar when I fitted a snorkel you hit the spot welds on the inner panel took me all day to fit mine so you done very well 👍👍

Every week I am waiting for your video. I love the way you do them. Entertaining. And German quality. Your work is always precise, and amaizingly well done. For your information I asked to a professionnal to install my safari snorkell. He welded the braket close to the windshield instead of rivetting. Maybe to avoid the difficulties you were facing.

Great video, you did well for the first time installing one, and better to do a good job than a rushed bodged job.

Lol.. this is without doubt my favourite KZfaq channel...keep it up 👍

I am so glad you shared this. I had the same problem with my A pillar. I spent a fortune on the best drill bits and nothing went through, thought I was just dumb, ended up with one rivet and then epoxied it in. Whole process took 3 months till I finally went epoxy so you did it quick !!

Are you always this calm or just the miracle of editing? I am glad I am not the only one that struggles with those rivet tools. You are so lucky to have a wife that is so patient, helpful and useful on fixing car stuff!

I've been waiting for you to install a snorkel. I find the videos very interesting and they are always quite funny. In 2 weeks were going to be driving to Italy in our new Discovery 5 R-Dynamic so it'll be fun testing it on a longer roadtrip because so far we've only done 250 miles at once but that drive will be 1,100 miles. We normally come through Germany on our way and stop in Stuttgart but because of covid were doing the entire drive without stopping except for fuel of course. Great and very entertaining video 👍

Well done guys and a job well done! It took you three times longer because like me, you are a perfectionist! If the others can do that job in two hours, then they are cutting corners and that is never good. I'm a D2 guy myself, but playing with the idea of building out a D3. Still on the fence as I'm very dubious about the D3s engine and electricals. However, love your channel and videos and every time I watch one, it makes me want to take the leap... Take Care Guys... Kelvin

I love to watch your videos so entertaining even though I`m not fitting a snorkel & a man who can take the mickey out of himself for the length of time its taking him nothing wrong with being precise Christian and nice to see you keeping him on track Vera " as usual " 😉

Love your video, I wish I would have a garage like you, living in a apartment I don’t have that options. Please make a video on how we can improve fuel efficiency of vehicle.

Thank you. That was really so funny when you described how clean the air filter is and the reason why you’re installing the snorkel. I’m in Australia. I have a D4, with a genuine safari snorkel. And even though I’ve done river crossings with it, and even though I have had water come over the bonnet. I don’t think that the water would have ever got close to the air inlet. There’s a high likelihood that I will never really need my snorkel either. It does give peace of mind though.

Cool

Christian I've not read the other comments to see if anyone else had noticed, but when you were struggling your drill was in reverse...!? 🤔 LOL. Love your videos 👍

Love the Snorkel but not sure it was worth the effort. Well done guys. 👍

You are doing it properly... that's why it takes so long... I'm 3.5 hours in... with a couple more to go... but its all neat and tidy with clean cuts... love your videos 😁👍🏼

Now you can do river crossings and cross German desserts. I have a 2nd hand one I need to fit. I can't justify the price of a new one. Only real issue I have is I don't have the instructions or templates for drilling or cutting. Its nerve-racking enough hacking into a perfectly good car, but not being 100% sure on locations takes it to another level.

Great job but don’t know if I want to do that, bit worried about drilling into the pillar. Love your videos always funny

You took about the same time I did. Only I’d did it on my own and in the depths of winter. I knocked out the bulkhead in the inner wing instead of cutting it. I think I managed 4 holes in the A pillar but didn’t go as neat as a slot in the trim. The only instructions I could find were in Russian so followed the pictures. Yet again another informative and entertaining video.

I have exactly the same Bosch 2 speed drill. Proper fast but I have started to use 'centre drills' at much slower RPM as they do not bend like a 4mm HSS twist drills and keep on centre better

Hi Vera and Christian . You owe me a favour ! :-) Because of your videos I have now bought a D3 . Now as recompense I think you should buy a front hidden winch mount and winch . I need to see your awesome instructional/entertaining video on this. Thank you so much for the videos , I look forward to seeing them every Sunday XX Best regards David UK

Took me about 4 hours to do mine ,I only managed to get 3 rivets in to the windshield pillar as well so it’s not just you 😎🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I'd like to see a comparison of a snorkel vs non snorkel air filter on the same dirt road. I think it would be negligible. Great video btw👍🏻

Great comic moments👍

Always a pleasure to watch you guys, but you have convinced me never to fit a snorkel

@Christian Use a battery drill when you drill through steel you’ll find it cuts better at slower speed and learn how to sharpen drill bits or get Vera to do it. 😜😜😜

There is a stainless steel insert in that window post. I found out when I fitted my snorkel.

MUITO BOM

Hi ,we all know jobs take longer is because ur both perfectionists and do the job so well, 👍👍,would be awesome if u have the fitting of a front A bar next please to go along with ur snorkel, lol , it’s nothing to do with me buying one and waiting until an excellent fitting video comes out, wink, wink, lol , as always awesome video , thank u for sharing , did hear fitting the Mantec RAI , a top trim clip is removed and a rivnut is fitted. that looked a pain trying to drill the windscreen pillar for the rivets , must admit didn’t realise that section was made out of boran steel , was wondering would a cobalt drill bit be any good drilling that or is that what u used plse, many thanks as always , stay safe and many thanks as always producing such fantastic informative videos 👍

Yes it takes you longer because you do it properly. De burring and painting and measure twice cut once approach. I bet if you took some of the snorkels off some D3s there would be a pile of mess behind them with oversized holes and rust and pipes not sealed. Keep up the good work guys😁👍🤿

Vera is right - it hurts!!! Now I'm SURE I'm not going to fit a snorkel...

I think l will give the snorkel a miss - plus lm not liable to drive my old LR3 into water up to the air filter inlet. If it’s just for vanity it’s seems rather a lot of work, but again you have made another entertaining video, always good to see yous both so happy. Plus l like to watch a good engineer at work.

another great video thanks , you need to do some videos on vera's freelander

You take longer because you care the job is done right

I don’t mind watching it slower! :D

I would also like to know if you can now open the bonnet (hood) to the service position. Doesn't seem such a big price difference with a genuine safari snorkle her in the UK £192 + vat. I like the look of the genuine mantec one which you can now buy under the terrafirma brand. But it is not sealed and is only a raised air intake not for wading. Keep up the good work guys look forward to your videos each week. 👍

Another great video you are very thorough, so we know you are German 😁😁 but I think you must have some English ancestry because you have a self- deprecating sense of humour I think everyone should have a 'Vera' to help 👍👍

I use cobalt drill bits

Brilliant video as ever, always enjoyable! How do you think you'd get on without such a well equipped workshop?

Hi, as always a great video, I have an idea for the next one, maybe you could install a 360-degree camera.

As a perfectionist and a German those 2 missing rivets must have been hell for you! Lovely job, so what's next, maybe a kangaroo guard as I'm sure there could be a problem with these around Frankfurt?

I used a hole saw to inlarge the intake hole..
