Check out how we did the rost removal and corrossion protection of our Discovery 3 underbody and frame. In Germany, no holes in a chassis are allowed at all. So we had to do something now before it is too late.
There is sure more exciting work on a car but we hope you like this video anyhow. Do not miss out on the bonus material at the end. We show how to change the struts on my brothers Smart Roadster.
Thanks. Very and Christian

Your work shop is brilliant nice job on the underneath it’s better than new 😁🇬🇧👍
Hello John, thank you for your comment as always 👍
This is rapidly becoming my favourite channel on UA-cam. Keep up the great work!
I agree with you James.... I am always eager to view the next episode.
We enjoy making videos a lot. More to come as long as the Discovery breaks reliably... thank you guys 👍
I agree! you both do a great and funny job! But be careful! at Jay Tee `s channel someone stated you are not as good as him! Seems there is a challenge coming up about the best LR3 vids. I think, he even copied your episode about the things you might not know about your LR3! I got myself a 2016 LR4 and thank god have not encountered any major issues yet!
@@discoverland That is funny. A competition who can put the most sensitive vehicle on the planet in the best light 👍
@@Vera_and_Christian thats Right! ... but the best car! When I saw the latest tests of the new Defender with all its electronics, I thought its blueprint of our D3/4. But reliable!😁👍
Wunderschön. Good job looks like new. I think mine needs doing soon as well.
Well, Neil, I will take a short break before I do an other car, that is for sure.
Christian and Vera, next two presenters of Top Gear... Simply the best 👍😉
We love Top Gear !!!
@@Vera_and_Christian yes I am very fond of Sabine Schmitz. She has appeared on Top gear a few times & given the lads a good lesson.
They are great presenters..
@@pwatom22 🙏👍🙋♀️ Vera
@@Landybandy1 Too sad that she died last week 😌😧🙋♀️ Vera
As a native English speaker, and so on a language-level, the verbal interactions between Christian and Vera bring me immeasurable joy and entertainment.
Amazing couple, great info, thanks to you both,great to watch
Thanks.
I thought it was Walter white from breaking bad ,,great video
another great vid looks better than when it came out the factory lol.
The video camera made that happen.
That looks great underneath! I look forward to seeing how it holds up. This brings back some bad memories from when I painted my project truck last fall 😂
Hello Waldo, I hope it lasts. Used other cheaper products before and it got worse. 😬
Driving the Smart after driving the Disco - it must feel like driving a moveable hole in the road...... :-D
I really love your videos - thank you.
Hello John, my brother can make a grown up man cry in this car. It goes through tight roads so quick and it outruns my Challenger so easy.
This disco will last forever
😂😳 we hope so. Thanks.
Anti - Rust for a Land Rover is like trying to find the Holy Grail. So many products that are not 100% effective. You have to re-do annually if you live where salt goes on the road every winter, just like here in the Highlands of Scotland!
Great job, well done. 👍
Thanks 😊
not sure what has been applied to the chassis of my P38 RR in the past, but it is in excellent condition for 21 years of age, last year I just brushed on a coat of ACF50.
If it was done right in the first place, it will last long I think. Thanks for your feedback.
Excellent video thank you. The under body protection looks great
Thanks 😄
You two are fantastic you have such a great chemistry, ill definitely be catching up on your back catalogue.
😃👍🙋♀️ Vera
You are correct Christian ‘you gotta relax’ . Sehr gefährlich
Great job you two! And your son is very talented with his blacksmithing, you must be very proud.
Thanks Allen. He taught this all himself. I got no blacksmith skills.
@@Vera_and_Christian It is wonderful to have a peek inside your family and to see how you each seem to be very diligent and talented at what you do. It would be nice to meet you someday.
Hi Christian and Vera, did you know that I’m your biggest fan? Can’t stop laughing. I love those videos. Keep them coming. I Can’t wait for the next one. Stay safe
Thank you Theo. We appreciate it. More to come. Vera
Great video, time lapse makes it look so easy. My 8 year old RRS needed chassis welding for M.O.T. test. which was a surprise, after watching this video I can now see the extent of rust. Thx for posting.
You are welcome!
How about the 2nd product, guys?
Does it kill you? 😁
Well, unfortunately not. But the primer does at least 👍.
Really nice work. I'm always impressed at the quality of workmanship.
Thanks 😄
Well worth all the effort it looks great under there!
This video was worth the wait. It’s such satisfying work. I still show off the pics of my underbody/frame project to anyone who will look at it. I used the 3 stage POR 15 product. 4 years ago and still looks good.
Great video you guys! Thanks for sharing!
This footage was from before Christmas indeed. Thanks.
He's German... of course he cleans his stuff!
The dynamic between you guys is just incredible!
Tweezers! Great video
👍
Looks like a great job. Nice products :-)
Thanks !!!
ive got bigger springs in my bed than that smart car lol
Lol... but your bed does not outrun a Challenger on tight roads I guess. 👍
What a fantastic job on the discovery floor and chassis and nice to see a bit of work on the smart roadster as I have one of those. Keep up the good work
Thanks!!!
looks like brand new! great job!
Thanks 👍
I dont know what your TÜV Boy is thinking, your Disco is looking quite good compared to mine. i am pretty sure when i do the Thing with the Paint it will last here where i am max. 12 Month. The only thing that lasts a bit longer here is waxy things like Rope Grease and such things combined with Graphite Oil that creeps in all the spots whe Paint cant go.
It was a recommendation from the inspector. Now we feel better...
Excellent. Funny. A ridiculous amount of work. You misspelled "chassis" in your description.
Hello Rob, I guess I should know how to spell „chassis“ Lol. Talk to you later.
A really good video , I've had 9 land rovers and the LR3 is my favourite to date, I can see you guys love yours , also your level of English is superb, ausgezeichnet👌
Thanks. 👍
The bottom of your LR3 is so clean that we could easily have dinner on it, except that the law of gravity would not allow it. Christian & Vera are the best Ambassadors for Germany!
😊 Thanks 👍🙋♀️ Vera
Top man & wife, brilliant video. Can I just mention when you say frame it can be taken as meaning chassis so saying body makes more sense. So frustrating to see all that corrosion, if only LR had electroplated the chassis with zinc or had them hot dip galvanised like we started doing with Reliant Robin chassis in the early 70's at the galvanising plant I worked as a driver in Birmingham the early 1970's.
Vera is so cute :) (Range Rover Sport 2006 ,Norway )
😊🙋♀️Vera
Hallo. In your video, you make reference to fixing the Freelander headliner. I am afraid of doing this job. I have hear many horror stories about this job going very very wrong. My beloved discovery 3 has now got headliner sagging issues. If you have the bodies still, can you perhaps consider to make a video showing how to do this job properly? Thank you
Does anyone (including Christian or Vera) have a link or part number to the undercoating spray gun that specifically fits the Mercedes bottle linked above? I have searched, but don't see one exactly the same, and don't know which might be compatible. I love this channel!
Hi guys just done mine iv got my done in that very hot day christine helped me I think we are both rust proved now lol take care oh I used mec rust prove gear it’s great take care phill&christine England 🏴
Haha! "Deadly if swallowed".... why the hell not?!
I love you guysh
Also, if you decide to, you should show videos of the Freelander. I have one and would love to see what you are doing with that too.
The Freelander hardly ever breaks. And if it does it is very easy to fix. We like it a lot.
@@Vera_and_Christian I have started doing all of my own work on mine too. This past week I flushed my power steering, replaced the reservoir, changed my brakes, and did a basic service. It is an easy car to work on for basic items.
Hi, I need your help. I want to take care of sills. Do you think it is enough to take off the air tank or I will have to dissasembly anything else to get to the inner side of sills and scratch off the rust, for example compressor?
Looks better than new. If someone just could do my RR like this...;-))
even 4x4 never have any rust here, but If I were in EU and I had a new 4x4 I would paint chassis 350microns high build epoxy same as I used to when I built steel yachts.
You are correct Christian ‘you gotta relax’ . sehr gefährlich
Lol. Vera reads all comments!!! 😂
Great work as always , 👍👍 , done the same with mine but used dinitrol, know it’s not very cheap but wanted something that would last like what you’ve done with urs and indeed the prep work took the longest amount of time , thanks again for sharing , hope it was ok but put a link here showing a few pics of what I done including some tools that may be useful www.disco3.co.uk/forum/underbodychassis-coating-191752.html, found if u need those plastic clips for the inner wheel arch liners the VW T5 clips fit a treat and a lot cheaper to buy than JLR , also some tubes I made up to inject inside the chassis rails , hope it helps ur goodself and others
ps , hope ur both keeping safe and well
Good post on Disco3.co. I like that plier for the clips. It does make sense to spend money for good products. I used cheap coating before and it trapped moisture. Thanks !!!
@@Vera_and_Christian hi, glad it was helpful to u , indeed ref cheap products , had landies some 30 x years now and cut corners back then and alas cost me time and more money in the long run where chassis’s would rust , must admit the disco 3 is my favourite so far, would really like a 4.4 V8 jag engined D3 as I don’t do many miles , always wanted a V8 , really like the videos u make , look forward to many more and thks for taking the time making them , stay safe
Excellent video. I covered my Delica chassis last year with wax oil hammerite. I now need to do my discovery 3 I’m going to try some lanoguard on the chassis rails, and then use the wax oil , and possibly some raptor paint
Hello Rob, Raptor paint is 3 x more expensive in Germany, at least the good stuff is... Good luck with your work !
@@Vera_and_Christian yeah thanks. The lack of a garage and wet weather is putting me off for a while but it will get done. Apart from that my discovery is very close in spec to yours. Keep the videos coming.
Great practical solutions to oh so common problems, nicely presented. Probably shouldn’t say this but your partner is so cute , I thought French women speaking English was sexy but I love the accent. Land Rover stuff is good too !
😊 Thanks Vera
Great video! Thank you! I should be doing something like this to mine, as well. Unfortunately, I already need to replace both sills, as the are quite corroded in the rearmost quarter... New sills are ridiculously expensive, so I'll probably buy a pair of late D4 sills from a breaker/ donor car. Cheers!
Hello Alex, no worries about Rost if the is no TÜV. Thanks!
This would have to be the best kept LR3 in probably the world!!😅
Greetings from 'down-under' (Australia) Stay safe!
Thanks. Which we could drive it where you live at one time.
Nice job, pity LR could not do it from the factory 🤷
How much of the Mercedes underbody protection did you use for Vera's LR3?
The chassis and frame got a complete restoration last year, also the engine. We took the entire car appart, each and every bolt was out. But where ever we used the Mercedes stuff back then, it all still looked perfectly protected. 👍🙋♀️
You guys did an unbelievable job. It looks brilliant and I hope it means the car will last for years to come. I always consider getting this done, but in the USA, you have to be careful about it, because you never know what they will use and some people then have worse rust problems because moisture gets trapped. Good job
Hello Louis, I used poor products before too and then it has the opposite effect. It will trap moisture.
@@Vera_and_Christian Yes, I have seen it happen. I also had to get one car done three times before the dealer got it right. Thankfully I didn't have to pay for the corrective work.
Water based - no odour? that's snake oil - I'm a long time MB owner but what you need for the LR is some proper English WAXOYL. MB have clearly tried to copy this product at EU45 per small can) but don't buy the pressurised cans, get it in liquid 5l bulk can. Pro-tip - next time you cook up a Sunday Roast with potatoes use WAXOYL instead of cooking oil. Tastes proper good, only problem is there is a risk that you will suffer organ failure but the smell is to die for
Christian might dissagree with you. But thank god we don't have to repeat that process anytime soon. But I'll let Fabian know, he's got some work cut out for him. 😃👍🙋♀️Vera
The schutz can looks a lot like Dinitrol.
I had a LR3 2008, do u think I can keep it for 5 more year ? I am in UAE here no rust problem also labor and parts are cheap, why I am asking, I had a Nissan Murano 2005 and I tried to keep that and it broke so badly causing continuous major trouble in almost every 1/2 month. Finally I sold it cheaper than the amount I spend in last 1 year of maintenance.
Rust is not the biggest problem for us either. Engine and electrics are. Do the engine maintenance and oil pump. There is a risk of course but there are many cars with +300t km out there. Hope it works out for you. 😬
Hi Christian and Vera thank you for all your useful insights and I have a supplier for you to try who I highly recommend try Advance Factors in Southampton uk prices are good service is amazing quality is top notch and if your stuck email or phone Paul for excellent advice and help. I won’t use anybody else now
Keep up the good work
We ordered from Advanced Factors many times before. Good service and fast delivery. Really good prices too. Thanks.
Another great video and such attention to detail reveals the true enthusiast!!
And very good comments about MB products and their availability.
Thanks.
Looks great
Thanks.
Christian! Please do not just replace the centre bearing! Please replace the prop shaft complete. All the advice that I have heard in the uk is just replacing the bearing does not work and it only lasts a short time again. Do some research on the forums and you will see
Best wishes and good luck
Ok, it’s done. Video will be out soon. 👍
As usual amazing work, really funny conversation and good instructions!! 😎👍 very enjoyable channel!😁
What a lovely job can you do mine?
I'm English and hate land rover, however after this channel I might just buy one.
😃👍😉🙋♀️ Vera
This video must be the best ever UA-cam video because it has the words "Land Rover" and "Mercedes-Benz" in it 😁😅😇 with Christian and Vera 😍😍
On the subject of the video : Christian you did an absolutely beautiful job on the underside of your Disco 3. I have never seen one look so good, even fresh from the factory - fantastic job !!!!!
I rustproofed the chassis and steel parts on my 2005 defender with a German product called Fertans before coating with Dinitrol, with excellent results.👍
It’s terrible what salting the roads does to your vehicles. I’ve never experienced snow and all it’s issues. Nice job
Thank god they don't do that here anymore. They only plow, and put like really coarse sand on the road 👍🙋♀️ Vera
You mean tweezers 😂❤
Looking good. I have to paint my landy chassis every other year using either Buzzweld or Coroless as living in Scotland the roads are salted in winter. Thinking of just waxing with Lanoguard from now on and may be every year.
I love your paint job, I used a product called waxoyl on my Mercedes and got really covered in the stuff and it stinks of tar, yuk!
Better than factory - again!
You guys are great 👍 just ventured into my first ownership of a landrover - got a nice discovery 3 and it’s a beauty. Going to do the same as you underneath to keep her tip top. Greetings from England
I wish i had a neighbor exactly like you.We could achieve everything.
So the question I have is, how is it looking now, 18 months later?
Better than if nothing was done but there is corrosion again. We will do a body-off this fall and improve the protection. Christian
Impresive work
Brilliant and funny 🤣🤣 I love your channel 👍👍
Thanks !👍
A labour of love and you can rightly be proud of the result. A garage would have charged you a fortune and the result would not have been as thorough.
How does the underside look today after 2 years??
We will take the body off in summer and make a video. Christian
Hello Christian and Vera! I’ve just join your channel....it is great👍 Just a question. Where could I order these MB flasks from? Thank you!
I am acutally not sure where you can get them online. We got them from a MB Auto repair shop. But ebay is always a good source for us. 🙋♀️ Vera
Superb 😀
Looks great! Good work. I'm curious to how it's holding up. I watched a few of your videos while looking at LR3's/Discovery 3's. I bought one and drove it home 6 hours with 0 issues! I was hearing your voice on my trip back! I love mein Land Rover! Danke for posting
Enjoy your Disco, we will do hopefully now content on my Disco 3. We are doing more preventative maintenance like new oilpump, timing belt, and new glow plugs. That might interest you. 😃🙋♀️Vera
It looks better than a new car I’d say. I brought mine to some specialized shop and I have no clue what they did cause now, I have abs error on the dash but not on the gap. I checkd all abs sensors and they are working. Also they told me they removed the back doors (now I have an error on left back door nor closing) and they also remove the rear bumber and stop lights.
Previously I had a transmission fault, reduced tranction.
Do you have any ideas what they did wrong and where to start checkin?
All started with a check engine light that somehow fixed it’s self.
Any advice, guidance will be much appreciated.
Many thanks
They probably damaged a wiring harness. Set the gap to display unconfirmed or incomplete faults. It will show them then. Christian
@@Vera_and_Christian how do you have time and energy to reply that fast, how? Kudos to you guys, you are doing a brilliant job.
@@Vera_and_Christian Christian I will bother you again with my problem because I need that german precision and thinking. I have 4 pages of errors and the shop is asking to change the entire car, I suppose. I suspect that they are Toyota drivers. Maybe you have 2 minutes to take a look?

Gosh, this was almost nostalgic for me, I've been lucky enough to spend the last 28 years living in Los Angeles, Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and now Dubai, all hot countries with very little rain (almost none in Dubai) so no real rust problems, but I do remember the years in the UK and Europe of all that rust cleaning and rust proofing particularly on Land Rovers!!
Wow, you basically have lived almost all over the world. 👍😃🙋♀️ Vera
I've no idea why you would go to all this trouble for a Landrover,, it's a Landrover,, not a BMW X5, or Mercedes Or Audi Q5 etc etc..
We have owned Mercedes and Audi cars before, and love our Land Rover. You should take one for a drive you will understand maybe. 🙋♀️ Vera
@@Vera_and_Christian I did, I've driven Disco's 1,2+3..Hated them all..
I only buy Japanese gear, ie, Nissan Navara, Patrol, and of course the best one Terrano.. You should try them.. 🇬🇧🇬🇧💯💯
@@markb1487 😃👍 As long as everyone is happy. I remember the Terrano, but haven't seen them in a long time over here. 🙋♀️ Vera
Love these videos, I'm from the land of the landrover and it's taken a German couple to educate me, 😅 you couldn't make it up. Keep up the good work 👍👍👍
😅👍🙋♀️Vera
Love your videos ,, Vera needs a pay rise
💪👍🙏🙋♀️Vera
After the painting you should add a coat or two of RP 342 rust protectant it's really good it's a spray on liquid wax that lasts good in salty conditions it's been on my vehicle for two years and still holding up, not payed by company just tryed them all and this is the best yet.
Thanks. We may do that next winter.

We love to hear that you like our videos. Thanks for your comment and take care. Vera
Looks brand new -awesome!
Thanks!
Great Job man.... very thorough. My problem is I don't have a pit
We have been working on our cars for 30 years, 20 of those without a pit. We just got lucky when we bought this house. We even changed shocks on a walmart parking lot. But we will go further into this topic in a couple of weeks. 👍🙋♀️ Vera
Great work and better than a body shop would do. In fact body shops won't even do this sort of work. I tried to get mine done.
Yes, this is a DIY with your wife kind of job... I got to say, I did most of it alone. 😀
Fab video, is your pit ventilated? I'd be concerned about the products of combustion lingering in the depths of the pit with a risk of suffocation.
That's ok, only Christian goes down there. 😉🙋♀️ Vera
@@Vera_and_Christian I laughed, but it's something to consider.
@@richardsheil5289 😃 Don't worry, Christian wears masks a lot of times when working with toxic stuff (we don't show everything, then a video would be 2 hrs long and nobody would watch it) and the pit is huge, and the wind is blowing in constantly🙄. There really is enough airflow. What is going to kill me however are the Diesel fumes from our older Discovery 😅,when running inside of the Garage. 🙋♀️ Vera
@@Vera_and_Christian Thank you for explaining
Nice job, working on mine td5 too.
How long did it take you to do this if you don't mind me asking ? How many hours roughly?
We did this in combination with other repairs. The grind, prime and paint took 8 hours. 😬
Better than new now!
There is some truth to that. 😬
When you say smart car, you say it in a perfect Boston accent! Smaaat caa!
😂👍🙋♀️ Vera
You are doing an exeptional work and grate explanation but I dont understand why you are investing in this LR.
Looking forward for more videos
We like the car a lot. A replacement would cost much more and then we don’t know the history of it. We also do this for fun 😂. Thanks.
@@Vera_and_Christian
That is a grate attitude, like it. I gess you realy enjoy what you are doing.
Well done guys, great video and we love the comments, so funny.
Hi Guys,
We plan to be in Turkey in the coming weeks with out Disco. It needs some loving after all the work it has done in Africa. Once the loving is completed and subject to the Covid restrictions, we hope to be able to drive up into Germany etc. And if possible, we may call past you guys.
That would be great.😃 👍 Right now, Germany is still in a complete lockdown. That means no stores, restaurants, or any kind of puplic attractions are open. Germans are only allowed to meet up with one other person in puplic. I really hope that they are going to loosen up those restrictions soon, so travelers like you can actually enjoy your stay here in Germany. If you have any questions, just send a message, or email us. Have great time in Turkey 💪🙋♀️ Vera
