There are 2 components of a lr3 that are irreplaceable; you and vera ! After watching many of your videos I'm buying a lr3; great vehicle if properly maintained. 😍

It's rare that someone will "maintain" their vehicle instead of the majority "fixing" their car when it breaks. I'm liking your videos because of information and your lovely personalities.

"it's very important to have it in all the way" best line of the day.

Hey, i got a mention, how humbling and surreal! And yes, it did take over one month for that package to travel from the west coast of the United States, unreal.

You never have to worry that your videos might be boring, far from it. They are so entertaining and informative, and the banter between the two of you is so sweet. It’s winter here in Australia at the moment and I am missing our warm summers so it was nice to see you enjoying a warm day👍

Stressful for you but hugely entertaining for us viewers. Beginning to wish I had bought a Discovery instead of a Freelander! Your sense of humour is fantastic and chemistry amazing. Thank you.

I’m going to be replacing my EGR valves on my 2005 Range Rover sport so perfect timing for me

great job hello from Pennsylvania USA

For future reference when jacking in brickwork ... using timber pads to spread the load on the stands is very much suggested

Is the secret to a happy marriage a disco 3? You guys rock !

New favourite channel.

Love the Aussie reference! It’s true- we don’t have the heater, living in Perth we may hit zero deg C in winter but high 40’s in summer.

The triumphant return of Christian and Vera!

2% battery - that tickled me. True lies was a good film. I remember my WK 2005 Grand Cherokee with the Mercedes OM642 3.0 V6 Diesel would throw a check engine light when it was not happy with EGR, I put a resistor on it to keep it closed and get only fresh air.

Christian and Vera another entertaining video and presentation from you both,,,))) 😀 🇬🇧

I have recently discovered your channel and I am very impressed with your work ethic and your knowledge I am a technician on airport equipment and have been brought up on Landrover products with my time in the military, I used to use Landrover Defenders myself and skipped the Disco 3 for the Range Rover sport with the 2.7 v6 and all the problems that you are having brings back bad memories of the countless thousands of pounds that I spent repairing my Range Rovers, I eventually went Japanese and have had 4 Nissan Navara ‘s my latest is the 3.0 ltr V6 which is about as troublesome as the Landrover Discovery I have decided to go back to running a Defender 110 .

When Vera raises her hand about the 2% battery I had the exact same scene from "True Lies" running through my mind...

Holy crap, my LR3 gas engine was a snap compared to this. Did my EGR a month ago. Did my water pump last year. Word of advice, put a piece of cardboard or thin plywood on the radiator while doing any work with belts, fan clutches etc. Awesome video, you two rock!

Another great video from you both. I've had an LR3 for 8 years now and I'm still learning new stuff about it from you. Keep the videos coming your banter is a delight. Thank you.

As usual great vid…I’m glad I have my friendly garage man tho😊

You two are fantastic!

I think Christian is better than most main dealer mechanics, Now I must have.been watching too many LR time videos because my wife said “ why are you speaking with a German accent? . ( I am English). I have spent too long listening to Christian and Vera 😂

Thank you for the content all the way from the US. just got myself a lr3/disco3. No diesel option here 👎🏾 I got the v8 version.

As someone who has worked on Land Rovers for 30+ years, I'll give you a good tip. Get yourself a few old pallets, then when you are working on the Landy, put one in front and one each side and that extra 15cm is perfect. Pallets are free, environmentally friendly because they are wood, they have good grip on the surface and won't slip or fall over like a milk crate or step ladder, thy can live outside and when they rot, you can put them on the fire and stay warm.

Guys you never cease to surprise me your videos are always interesting and informative keep up the good work

Great video Christian & Vera. The EGR replacement doesn't look at all difficult in the overall scheme of things. You guys have done far more complex and what I would call challenging (stressful) work on your Discovery.

We .can only wish L/R service techs watched your videos

I'm surprised you guys are able to get videos out as often as you do! 👍 -Waldo (the KZfaqr with the least predictable release schedule 😂)

Love the accent! Reminds me so much of Arnold

29:00 aaaaaahhhhh I always wondered what it was doing when I turned it off! In the garage, it's always quite, so you hear all the buzzes and burrrrrrs it makes..

Hi, hope ur both keeping well , fantastic video as always , ur spot on 👍👍pre 2007 don’t need the EGR software patch if the EGRs are blanked , mines a 2005 UK D3 , No DPF, must admit blanked mine , left the pipes in situ and slid a blanking plate between the engine block and pipe , then removed the butterfly valve , was amazed with how dirty the throttle body and MAP sensor was, runs so much nicer now and always passes the MOT emissions every year . If it also helps as know it can be frustrating sometimes trying to reach into the engine bay , that I’ve done the same , removed the negative battery lead, jacked it up, removed both front wheels and dropped it down onto axle stands , really helps by lowering the front for better access, of course know ur extremely knowledgeable , just something I learnt and hope that it may also help u, stay safe and of course if it’s ok will share ur video on the Land Rover forums , 👍ps, have u seen the new MOT regulations for northern Ireland seeing it’s still part of the EU , that it will include a code reader to be plugged in, also do u have any LR time stickers left please and purchase price as would be very honoured to have one in the back of my D3 , many thks

Guten abend Veri and Christian. Nice seeing you both overcome that EGR valve replacement 😄 You made it look easy lol 😆 Great team work as usual cheers Stevie 😍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Hi Vera and Christian, I hope you guys are well. Thank you for the shout out at the end for Montana Rovers! Keep calm, and Rover on. Alistair Stewart

Good to see you Guys back & fully on form. Cheers.... 👍

Great video, always remember to never leave coolant laying around near dogs as they sometimes drink it causing a horrible death, or have to be put down a few days later......😔

My water pump failed a couple of weeks ago but thankfully my wife who was driving heard the noise and stopped so no damage and all fixed now. Great video 👍

Hi Christian and Vera, well again with your super German efficiency lol the last time was the "TUF" legal spacers you meticulously fitted, again with my typical English disregard for the law and climate change I removed my EGR valves and removed the DPF and fitted a straight through pipe and did an delete on my engine obd programmer. I am happier when the engine is breathing through a nice exhaust and not having its breathing chocked by pumping gasses back through the engine block to diminish its fresh air fuel mixture. Actually as long as the vehicle passes its emissions test on our MOT the removal of egr is fine also because of the weight of the car a dpf is not a legal requirement... the test isn't as bad as your "TUF" which I had to manage when living in Munster in the 1980,s Always enjoy your technical skills and great humour lol all the best Phil and Louise

When Covid is over come visit to Australia, I'm sure you'll find plenty of fans here to look after you.

26:10 - true! No one has ever removed their tires more than you guys.

As you said Christian, we in Australia have nothing in the location where you have the diesel heater. It is a good location for another 12V battery for running a fridge, camp lighting, shower water pump etc.

Can’t thank you enough for the knowledge.👍👍😄

never get enough knowledge both of you are awesome😎👍

Thank you again for excellent content Christian and Vera! Currently having my turbo and intercooler replaced on my Discovery 3 can't wait to driver her again.

Haha. Water pump on sale so you bought it. I found front control arms (Meyle) - upper and lowers - on sale and bought them. Still haven't changed them. You are not alone, my friends :))

Vera looking wonderful, as usual, l blanked off my EGR valves Christian but only after l spent a heap of time locating the turbo actuator and jigging it about with WD40 thinking that was the problem ie no power - l think it’s debatable whether l did the right thing as all the soot has to go somewhere and clog up l suppose - good to see yous

Can't believe I've been watching your videos for months now and not subscribed 😳 . I've now fixed this glaringly obvious oversight. I have a 2013 Sport love it to death . You and Vera are the best 👌. Always entertaining and very informative. Excellent couple excellent work.

Great video many thanks john isle of Anglesey north wales uk

Great Video again love watching how you interact every couple would "argue " getting that egr valve out of there , I`m thinking of swapping my Range Rover L322 for a Discovery so its great that you do all these videos Thank you

This was the best - and the fix was good to.

LR Novel. So fun to watch. Thank you!

Yeah the most confusing thing on the discovery for me is putting the two battery and abs covers back on 🤪🤪🤪 great video ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Really enjoying your channel. I have always loved the shape of the LR3 & 4 but because of the controversy surrounding the unreliability issues of particularly the LR3 & now apparently the LR4 I did not think I could afford the running costs of either models. Watching your videos has given me hope that I might be able to carry out the improvements & repairs myself. I am now looking at buying either an LR3 or 4. You both seem like genuine & lovely people;)

Christian and Vera, another great video and such good humour. I look forwards to these each week but make sure that you take time out now and then for each other and the family. Regards Peter

Thinking of deleting the EGR completely, eco remap and see how it runs then, I am currently getting 30mpg which isn't bad, the remap apparently can give an additional 10mpg, will update all once done :D also LOVE THIS CHANNEL, keep up the great work, Enda from Ireland :) 2014 LR4, HSE SDV6

I replaced the EGR valves two times (i drove my D4 334.000km... before selling it) Truly, the best car ive ever driven. Spacious view, comfy seating, a work horse but with all luxury. The battery side is a one mans job, 20 minutes and done. The braking side is hell and cant be done alone, unless youre very patiently... but count on 2 and not 3 bolts holding the EGR. (yes you can debolt the AC system, but will have to refill afterwards)

Excellent job ,well done to you both.

THERE YOU ARE!! I missed my weekly dose of "happy" on the weekend! 😁

I'm glad I watched your version as I had watched the Britpart video and they removed the EGR cooler as well, and removed the A/C pipes which made the whole job a lot more difficult in my opinion. Your videos are well filmed concise and informative. I have also subscribed to your channel as well. Thank You!!

Thank goodness they managed to invest in a car lift two years later

Loved this! I laughed so much.

Great video and great fun to watch and learn. Who says Germans have no sense of humour!

Great to see you back at it, another very informative video, great to see the humour between you both, 🤣👌👍

Very good job guys, when i replaced mine and i have lost that little bastard nut, i've spent more than one hour to find it out! Hope to meet you soon over the Alps!

I like your videos on the Discovery it makes me so glad I own a defender and don’t have to dismantle half the car every time I want to do stuff. I did an egr delete using a britpart kit on my TD5 it took me 30minutes and cost £20.00😉

I went with mapping them out, still there, still pass technical, never fail again 😂

Sou Nice couple Thank you for everything🤗

Very informative thank you both

You guys are funny 😂😂😂😂I have not yet met a aluminium vehicle that is magnetic 😂😂😂😂😂

I love you. I am LR3 owner too. I have 2 LR3 ( 2006, 2008 ) 2006 is Off road ^^ 2008 is Daily ^^ So i got tip from you! Really thank you for your video. If i can i want to meet you with my "TANK"(LR3) I hope road trip! From CANADA to your location. ^^ I just meet you and hi ^^ Have a great day! Bye!

“From this thing, I think it’s called a Diesel engine” 🤣

Hooray your back. Awesome video once again, highlight of the week. I smile from start to finish. All the very best wishes to you both 👍👌😊🚘

Hi, I was very surprised, seeing your bolts fixing the egr to the egr cooler, looking to the front. At my D3 2009 they are fixed from behind! That is always a fantastic job to loosen them. But after four or five changed valves, you get used to it😉. Funny video! Regards Herby

It's more than just an amazing vehicle, it's also a hobby! LOL I know this for a fact, as I own one (Disco 3) and it's a good thing that I love it. Hang in there folks. Whether you know it or not, you are part of the "Disco" support group......LOL Don't you just want to slap the design engineers around a little bit. They made an amazing vehicle, they just did not consider working on it once it has been assembled. Yep, I learned a few new words over my relationship with her. Forgive me ladies, but I give all my vehicles female names.....for obvious reasons......LOL

Bravo as always! Love your work Vera and Christian. Thank you.

I love watching these videos; informative and so entertaining!!! Danke

Great video. These EGR valves don't seem to last. Mine failed at 48K km in my Ford Territory.

Says a lot that there is a channel about repairing a car and there is enough content

Another great video and glad you're still together after the stress of it!!!

This channel is fantastic. Subscribed.

Great video as always Those egr valves seem to cause an inordinate amount to heartache and hassle all round. Are they really such a good idea I wonder? Very well.

Thanks for a excellent video.

You two are fantastic! Hans van leersum.

"The diesel crisis" Perspective!

Great video

I always tell my kids when removing wheel nuts push down saves hernier in later life LOL

hi there just found your channel, love the videos and i wish i'd seen this channel before i sold my disco 3 last year, but you have given me the confidence to buy another one.

Great series of videos, very enjoyable. I can't wait for one on renewing the steering angle sensor, I've just done mine - omg what a job! I hope your marriage is up to it.

Hey Christian & Vera, good to see that you are enjoying sub-Australian temperatures and keep staying busy with your LR3. I just thought, how boring KZfaq and your life would be if you had bought a Landcruiser 105 instead. No EGR, the water pump works since 23 years and apart from oil I barely replace anything. I thought I may replace the front wheel bearings and swivel bearings after 320,000 km, but just I watch your videos and become bored that there is literally nothing to do on this bloody Toyota. I'm so jealous. :-) Maybe I just make something up, knock it with the hammer and then finally I can repair something. People are right when they say Toyotas are boring. Keep up the good work, I still enjoy your videos and maybe sometimes, you come down to Australia for a beer and BBQ. See Ya!

Great video!!

.... out of this device here, i think its the diesel-engine... :D :D :D great again. macht weiter so. gruß sven

As always. Brilliant, entertaining and informative. Great team work. Hope your national football team doesn't perform as well next week!😉

Hi guys , thanks for another great video. I told you a few weeks back that was going to send you video footage of me driving the new 110 Defender at Land Rover offroad experience, well sadly i never got to drive the defender as it was a Discovery 5 offroad experience day , but it was awesome anyway.

Nice video, but I don't have a Disco3 Diesel. I have 2016 Disco4 HSE LUX, V6 supercharged 3 liter engine. I live now in Florida, USA.

Thanks for sharing always a pleasure in watching you do mods or work, don't own one of these lol (evoque) but still like to watch

Interesting how in the UK Vera is pronounced with the tongue towards the front of the mouth with the front of the tongue to pronounce the R, and Vera seems to use the back of the tongue towards the rear of the mouth; makes for a noticeable difference in pronunciation.

Mines block off in the UK, never been a problem, but it's under a cover and I don't think they take them off.

Another excellent video, thank you.

Yes, time-lapse can fix lots of stuff. But I didn't understand what you were saying in the end about whatever it was that was in that bush. What was it?

I love your accent bro

thank you for including australians #onlyagermanwoulddothat - best channel on youtube - encouraged me to buy a landrover despite the fact they are the worlds most unreliable vehicles - Danke!
