I could be in the middle of a coronary bypass operation and I would stop the doctor to watch a new LR Time video! 😁👍

Quite frankly, I believe that what I'm watching here is a pair of very classy, highly experienced engineering experts indulging in their lovey-dovey hobby (fixing broken Landy motors - surely a source of endless delight!). To total non-runners like myself (engineering-wise), this is mesmerising - and so brilliantly edited. Love it!

I loved the impatient thumb rolling whilst Vera was trying to remove the head bolts!😂

12:17 Christian almost shed a tear seeing the engine block like that, I felt that. I'd feel heartbroken as well.

My boss makes a dollar, i make a dime. Thats why i watch lr time on company time.

If only you had a blacksmith in the family to weld that block back up Christian and Vera!!

Oh my. What a mess. Such a pity that engine was run unnecessarily. I saw a cheap D4 for sale on eBay UK last week. The description said “engine knocking, starts for loading” 😩 Once again I’m in awe of Christian’s skills. 👍

JLR Dealer Workshops, = Poor Amateur Jobs at Professional Prices. Well done LR Time, again.

If I really screw up my courage, I can dismantle '60s motorcycle engines and put them together again😂. Huge respect to you both for your ability and knowledge with this very complex engine! Seems like much of the work to get at the core of the engine is plumbing.

A two man job. In my household of three women and me, comments like that would have been met with the involuntary alteration of important parts of my anatomy.😬 Luckily I have been well trained over these past years. 😂

Sunday morning, tea, biscuits, and LR Time; Perfect! Could only be better if Christian knew more about Toyota 😂😂😂😂😂

Ford and Peugeot used to be renowned for making relatively simple, reliable engines. It seems to me that they now design and build engines that if they can fit something to make it more complicated, they just do it!

Absolutely fascinating. I want an old Range Rover Sport so bad, could possibly buy one, but maintenance (stuff going wrong/breaking) as you guys show is an absolute financial nightmare?! Every time I see a modern engine with it's mind boggling array of accessories/control systems I think back to the 60's and how simple it was to maintain basic car engines. Engine won't start? take out Swiss army knife, and it's sorted.

I watch Eric regularly and about spit coffee on my screen the way Christian handled the water pump.

I am amazed at the complexity of a modern ICE engine ... no wonder they cost so much to repair and a great reminder to DO YOUR maintenance!! And do it often ...

Your dedication to LR is heroic. One of the best channels on here 👌

Been watching for a while now. What a massive dose of knowledge mixed with bloody good humour!

If this engine is going to be put back together, you've got to get those aluminium parts restored! They've been well and truly salted. Put out a call to Vixen surface treatments, or pop up to Sreten in Frankfurt and borrow his 🙂

Excellent video. It is like watching a whodunit in the morning rather than on a Sunday evening.

You two are simply awesome. I marvel at your fortitude, know-how, organisation, collaboration and co-operation through a very complex breakdown, mixed with wit, humour and general cheerfulness in a second language, all dressed with excellent video editing. You would be a joy to watch for anyone that owns a torque wrench, and maybe some that don't know what one is. Thank you.

Love the I Do Cars references. Eric is awesome. Hope y’all have a wonderful week!

Fab, my favourite Sunday morning video entertainment, thanks again to you both….and take the rest of the day off!

Every time I see one of these repair videos I think of the relative simplicity of an electric motor with one moving part instead of thousands. I can't wait to replace the several thousand "precision" parts of my Disco 2 engine and transmission with an electric motor.

Your videos are inspiring me to own an old LR and dare!!! Would be a good idea to live my retired life. My father was just like you, explaining each and every thing in detail while doing anything mechanical.

Have considered having the block repaired? It's often done on older/rarer blocks. If you have all the bits (possibly not!) They can be stitched and welded. But, yes, a short block from the UK is a good solution 😀

Vera's body weight couldn't shift 120nm of head bolt, this is why sleep and food is so important to her in great frequencies, build her up, OMG did I say that...Always look forward to your videos, thank you both.

Certainly some important reminders regarding engine servicing for Discovery owners, but I think the content that this will create is going to be fantastic, really looking forward to how things develop.

I believe the right professionals could repair that block and sump.

here in the states we like cummins diesel my o8 ram 6.7 has 130 k miles and is just getting broken in. as a owner operator i ran fl70 freightliner box trucks easily over 300 k miles. can verify my friend paul bought a 1996 ram 5.9 cummins standard shift pickup new and still drives it as a backup vehicle today. now the big thing is cummins has a new v6 available in the ram trucks today. god bless all your endevors.

Look at that…an adjustable rod and an inspection port! I appreciate the proper care of the water pump! I enjoyed your references to Eric at I do cars!

First time viewer of this channel, been watching from first purchase of this Landy, I am mesmerized by their knowledge and work ethic. Regards from South Africa

It is mindblowing the number of drivers who do not bother with regular servicing and regular oil changes , even if I don't use my car more than 3 or 4 times per year , my Berty BMW still gets new oil and filters every year.......Yes I know that this is a Landrover channel but I love my 1975 3.0s , my Berty BMW

Thank you for another great entertaining and instructive video ! Enjoy your Sunday !

Can never get enough of your channel!!!!

As always, pleasure to see your work. 💗

Great video as always guys... the thumb twiddle had me creasing up 🤣

Loved watching this disassembly video. Looking forward to you next one.

Brilliant again and very entertaining, WELL done Vera and Christian

Gold love the attention to detail!

Good video, and humour was top notch….. 👍🏻😃

Thank you so much, I really do love watching you two. Cracking vid.

Loved the thumb rolling. :D

it is always wise taking a picture of things before you strip it down this is what we always do ,thanks for the video

I love these videos , all kinds of good ideas to learn from

Great Sunday morning viewing just so much better than watching the news on TV! There are enough drivers out there who don't care about how they drive.... You know when I had my '68 Cougar I never listened to the radio (likely because I couldn't hear above the engine) ...no because I listened to that beautiful V8! You have to listen to your car what it's saying to you. Thanks V & C have a good week! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤

I’ve had a triple bypass and 4 years ago and I think 💭 I would watch after I come round 😅 love ❤️ the video 🎉💋👍🇬🇧👍

Really enjoying the videos, you're not Amateurs.

Feeling like you should just scrap that engine and get a 5.0 litre V8 and put that in and show us your excellent skills as you always do! Love your work ❤

ITS LR TIME😊😊😊 great video this week great engineering from Christian and great organisation from vera.great team😊😊😊

Great video as always ❤ It proves regular maintenance is essential, especially for a complex,and quite delicate engine 😂 keep up the good work

I was watching another video and you video popped up I will watch the other video when yours is finished.Another masterclass, I have to wait for another week. Stay safe and good health.

Excellent video thank you.

Another great video from you both, very interesting diagnoses by Christian and yourself look forward to the next one.

Love watching you guys

Brilliant video as per usual. Thats a disapointment on the engine block, it puts the repairs into a different ballpark costwise.

Great video again. Love Sunday morning with a cuppa and your video. Sorry you can't save that block and it's going to cost you more money. Love the water pump bit 😂 Looking forward to the next installment, 👍

Good afternoon Vera 🤩 I watch your videos even if you both sat on a park bench and just talked about anything 🤣 What a fantastic video on how to pull down a LR engine that’s stuffed 😀 Vera hugs always as you do really make these videos come alive 🤗😘 xx

Fascinating episode 👏👏👏☘️

The best part of a Sunday morning is watching the latest video from LR-Time! Now is there a possibility of a Christian / Robin team up? Video Title: Blacksmith effortlessly welds broken cast iron engine block then hands it back over to his father to machine back to factory specs. CAN'T WAIT! 🙏

Watching from London, this is the best channel on KZfaq. If I didn’t have a fantastic Volvo xc90 2.5T and I had a Land Rover, there is no one in the world who I would want to repair it other than you 2. Keep the videos coming, my eyes need it.

Just brilliant, thank you. Learn sooooo much :)

A great video see next Sunday 👍

Great video love the banter

Thank you for another great videao and Sunday morning! Sorry to hear about the block, but it will make a cool coffee table.

Again a great video, many thanks. In my recent experience so many garages have incompetent mechanics conducting poor work, be it owner driver or main agents, just useless and they charge at least as much as a good mechanic even if you can find that. A sad state of affairs which will only get worse the nearer we get to the all electric deadline.

Thank you.

I change the oil every 4 months, no matter the mileage I have done... thank you both, very much

Beautiful work Christian and Vera. 👏👏🙌🤝👌

Great video guys. I love all your videos. Enjoyed watching. 👍🏼👍🏼

I am so pleased that I have an old car with a simple engine in it years ago you could just go down to the breakers and buy a good engine out of almost anything for not a lot and with a bit of work make it fit.

Good update keep it up the good work and God bless you 👍👍👍

Good job guys.

Another good video 👍 I don’t know how you guys do it I 😢changed my front wishbones wheel bearings back plates and inner and outer steering joints and discs and pads today I’m sat here with sore back 😂👍

Hi mate just looking at the engine I would say a lot of 4WD has been taken place some people think the D4 is Bullitt proof and more interested in having fun instead of taking care the vehicle you know the is a old saying in my day in the work shop and it still applies today a land rover is only good as it's owner and who has been serving it, you probably need to check the hole vehicle to be safe take care guys ❤ Barry

Great content, I really enjoy L.R time . I must say I miss driving my Disco 4 but I certainly do not miss the Cost of ownership. Hello from The Isle of Skye In Scotland.

here endeth the lesson... do your bloody services! what a shame that it is going to be so much more to fix this engine, but looking forward to seeing the process. as usual, kudos to both of you, and thanks for the excellent and very watchable content.

On a Toyota this would just be a tick at idle Toyota are so good they don’t even need oil . But in the real world this is what happens if you don’t maintain your engine properly. The most expensive oil change is the one you didn’t do . Great video Vera/ Christian

DEBACLE /dĭ-bä′kəl, -băk′əl, dĕb′ə-kəl/ noun 1. A sudden, disastrous collapse, downfall, or defeat; a rout. 2. A total, often ludicrous failure. 3. The breaking up of ice in a river. 4. Vera's favorite English word Guys, I love it when she says it. I now use the word 10 times a day and pronounce it the way she does.

Another fantastic video guys, I have seen on Facebook( as I'm from northern Ireland ) the new 2024 ford ranger v6 diesel has engine issues and even a guy said his new v6 ranger has an engine failure as it using that same discovery engine.

I wish I had you as neighbours before I cut my teeth on my first disco this year. Always wanted one and after 30 years on the road. ❤

Hi guys, found your channel recently and I am enjoying your content from Czech republic very much since then! I am doing almost same level of careful maintenance, but on different fragile engines - Nissan's yd25ddti that are fitted in Navaras and Pathfinders. When my engine had a bearing failure, I was extremely disappointed by Nissan (engines were already produced by Renault), but later I found out, that era of reliable, long lasting diesel engines is over across probably all brands. With the new block I switched to my own home servicing with frequent oil changes and the faith in my 19 year old reliable overland rig is slowly getting back. Hope to meet you sometimes in the western alps or maybe on Allrad expo Germany, cheers!

At least the specifications inside the car are better than the Mall Crawler so when fix the engine you'll have a better Mall Crawler. Great video again guys, thumb twiddling 😂.

OMG. At least now I know, as the owner of a 2015 D4 in the 'Death Zone' (i.e. 95K miles) not to drive any further if (when) the engine knocks. My previous cars were Toyotas/Lexus, but so far (coming to 4 years) this LR has been just as reliable.

Vera , you should have a counter for how many time you say ," oh my god" OMG counter 😂😂😂😂😂❤

Always enjoy my Sunday LR Time ‘fix’, but this one is more of a horror movie! Not only was there evidence of lots of amateur bodgery with the maintenance that had been carried out, but poor maintenance / running the engine causing the con rod to snap and then punch holes in the block is just criminal! Looking forward to seeing subsequent episodes of this one and hopefully you found a more commercially viable option for the replacement block and sum pan internals! And like numerous others, I’d love to see the original block repaired by Robin, but I recognise that this would introduce more risks and uncertainty for the future. Good luck!

That was a very interesting video it still has not convinced me to get a D3 or D4 the amount of work you guys do is amazing i will stick to what i know and sit back and watch you guys it up see you next sunday i had my chevy suburban engine as a Christmas tree holder one year 😂😂 half way through a rebuild didn't go down to well .

As a “ I do cars fan” it’s cool to see LR time watches his channel to

Yet another brilliant video, Christian & Vera. Quite a lot of issues and unfortunate failures. 1, Previous service & repair bodge job on a Friday afternoon 2, tow truck driver starting the engine and running it 3, Vera gets cranky when hungry I've never worked on or serviced a landrover, but I'd 100% trust Christian's opinion and ability to do engine repairs & rebuilds and consider him as a trusted authority on Landrover as a whole The level of humour, satire in this video is hilarious

Sorry that it is such a mess. I am hoping that it worked out well for you in the end.

Excellent I can now get up having watched this week’s instalment of why not to buy a Landrover lol Roll on next week 😅

I'd like to see you guys repair the block. Old school guys would get it welded up. I wouldn't, but imagine the content 😂 best of luck guys 🎉❤

I'm new to the channel. I'm not a land rover person. I've never been in one outside of the army, let alone driven one. I do watch "4WD 24-7" for the adventures though which I believe is why I was recommended your channel. One of your recently episodes ended up in my feed about 2 weeks ago. Ever since I've binge watched the last year worth of your episodes. I'm Irish and live north of Hamburg. I drive between Dublin or Portsmouth and Hamburg. Once while driving between these places I seen a Landrover with a Dirt plate. I was commenting to my brother who was on the journey with me that it was a cool plate for a Landrover. Funny I come across a channel that is full of them :).

After watching this episode. I am sure I made the correct decision to stick with bicycle maintenance. Another fantastic video. Entertaining and informative in equal measure, and I don't own a Land Rover.

Many thanks for the video. I wonder when you will get tired of fixing failed engines. I am looking forward to the home maintenance videos!

Been waiting for the start time. Next week 8.01.

I have an appointment every Sunday now after I watched some of your videos 😂 I don’t have a LR for now but 😂 British engine under German engineering 😂 well done u2

Guten Tag. Vielen Dank fur dièses augezeichneites Vidéo. Mfg. Hochachtungsvoll

Great content yet again Vera and Christian.. I do hope you paid a very low price for that Disco 4 , allowing for a short block cost..😮🤞🤞

24:00 risky thing to say when Vera is holding a metal pipe Christian! LR Time just about turned into ER time! I laughed a lot though! Hi from New Zealand and a fellow Disco 4 owner :)

LOL loved how you trolled Eric😂
