    Our Land Rover Discovery 3 had a HDC and a DSC fault. Again. Just another normal Saturday in a Land Rover owner life.
    We also do a brake bleeding using the GAP IID tool more or less sucessfully and we service the electric parking brake (EPB). Nothing special - no worries, not a Toyota. Hope you enjoy the video and thanks for watching.
    Vera & Christian
    Our LR3 is a 2006 with the 2.7L TDV6 non DPF Diesel engine with about 245t km at the time this video was released. We do all our maintenance and repairs on both of our Land Rovers by ourselves. No LR shop will ever lay hands on our Discoverys and so far we are doing ok.
    Please check out our videos every Sunday, even if you drive a Toyota. ,

    Hi Christian, Bleeding my D4 with the gap tool was unsuccessful, mine through up an error, couldn't find any helpful information, then I panicked, then just did it the old fashion way, pump & push. Worked fine.

    The GAP tool works. The action for pumping is the same as the old method - you repeatedly push the pedal for 6 or 8 times and then you keep it pressed. At the wheel you open and close the bleed valve. Then repeat the pumping process until it tells you to move on. Vera was correct at the beginning as she wanted to pump the pedal. Good luck. How about the pesky air compressor C1A - gallery not venting fault fix for a video suggestion

    All auto speed adjust is dangerous, if you need to accelerate away from something behind you, or navigate away from danger , you cant. VIP and close protection vehicles dont have this equipment, they dont even have electric hand brakes, you cant J turn with an electric brake. Soon it will be possible for the Police or any other actor to just shut your car into limp mode, or make it drive straight to the Police station with the doors locked. That is not good, if your a good person and they make a mistake etc. I dont like any electronically dependant vehicle. What do you think Christian and Vera?

    You need to talk nicely to your Discovery so that it won’t break down. Tell it you love it almost as much as your wife/husband. Whatever you do, don’t tell it that it might cause a divorce unless you at the entrance to the dealership, to pick up your new Toyota!
    I know this because I tell my 2005 Disco that I love driving it more than I do so for my 2010 RR Sport.
    So the RR Sport has now developed a nasty knocking noise on the rear suspension, just to punish me!

    The GAP 11 is heralded to be the best aftermarket, but it is so expensive, as you mention. I bought an ICARSOFT and it was no help fixing my RRS- but the Facebook forum was! It just shows you not to believe the hype. For brake bleeding, I use my son because I can shout at him. It works.

    At 23 when torquing spacer if you have the torque wrench handle across the centre of the wheel you have the correct torque on the fasteners but less torque or turning moment to cause the wheel to turn. This is because the effective length to turn the wheel is from the centre of the wheel to the handle end. It's a useful trick.

    Christian you are correct… The ABS bleed sequence is the same as a usual brake bleed by pumping/and pressure/vacuum the fluid… the ABS actuation is just to move fluid through the valve blocks and remove air. 👍

    Not sure if this helps and only 9 minutes in so far. Pump usually means push pedal and release about 5 times. So in this context you push and release 5 times then hold pedal hard. Then as bleeder is opened the still pushed pedal moves downwards.

    I believe your channel is one of the best newer Land Rover related channels available and I hope you continue to grow exponentially. The format is excellent and entertaining and the technical detail is superb. I personally think a production company should pick you up for a TV program. There is a laugh a minute with the "German Precision" banter between you both. "OMG" haha! I was born in Germany but I have lived most of my life in Straya slang term for (Australia). Maybe you could learn some of our linguistics as a laugh. Like G'day mate! or No worries! or Crikey! Our family drive a few land rovers, RR Sport L320, RR Sport L494 and Evoque L538. We have in the past had the original discovery 2 many many years ago and it was a powerful vehicle. We used it many times 4WD on FRAZER Island here in Queensland. It did very well with it's V8 engine.
    I just had my Range Rover sport serviced and my wallet is crying and not talking to me currently as it is still in shock....lol All the very best from the land down under....

    I have only jacked my LR3 with my trolley jack. I have not used the suppled jack once, I hope I never need to. My son (apprentice mechanic) replaced my rear rotors & brake pads a few weeks ago, he did it at home. I just watched as he did everything. The parking brake shoes were like new, with no rust. Nothing was seized and no rust/corrosion. We don't have that issue in Australia unless you don't thoroughly wash your vehicle after driving on the beach or back into salt water when launching a boat.

    Pumping - is as you say, but, make sure stop and hold at the bottom when tighten bleed nipple. I think another video where you clearly and in detail go through each step of the bleeding procedure would be helpful. Similarly, a video on a full service of epb where you dismantle, clean and put back would be useful ("everything you need to know"). These are jobs we cannot do and save $$$.

    I laugh at your Toyota comments. I have a 1996 landcruiser with 275000km.
    I have never spent any money on it mechanically and therefore only carry a screwdriver, a pair of pliers, some self sealing silicon tape, a puncture repair kit and an air compressor, despite being in southern Africa and driving (& towing) where there is no discernable road. My reasoning being that the liklihood of fixing anything at the roadside beyond that is very unlikely.
    However the electrics seem to be from the cheapest car they made at the time. I have had to rebuild the starter, replace speedometer pulse generator and oil pressure gauge in the instrument cluster. The rear window washer valve failed and then shorted out. At the same time the front washer switch stopped working, so I switched things around so now I use the rear window washer switch for the windscreen.
    Also all 4 window motors and door lock motors have failed. Fortunately in that case it was a common mode failure - cracked thermistor in the motor, so I just bridged them out and no money spent.

You are looking for bubbles in the bleed pipe. When the are gone its done lock up bleed screw. And then its done

      Yes we know, that is how we have always done it for 30 years now. We just expected the GAP tool to have more precise instructions. Most of our viewers, having a GAP tool, have never ever done a bleeding procedure and expect the GAP to tell them what to do. We try to include GAP content in our videos, but we are not always all that happy with that tool. However, we used it on Saturday for our alignment job, and it was absolutely perfect that we had it at hand. 👍🙋‍♀️Vera

    I have to say that because the handbrake only works on the rear wheels its not really a serious Land Rover. The original drum brake prop shaft design that locked both the front and rear wheels speaks volumes about these vehicles. It's nonsense to think this is a go anywhere vehicle. Its a mall crawler like the Disco 4 and the so-called new Defender

    From memory and I stand to be corrected.
    Park brake service. Tighten adjuster until 50lbft (in old money) registers on torque wrench on centre hub nut then slack adjuster 8 clicks . Any time we changed discs we serviced/cleaned handbrake shoes and/or replaced as necessary. Used Autologic to drive cables into service position so if that's not available a work around that would be an interesting video. Snap-on supplied me with a brake bleeder. Ran on 12volts and from memory pressurised the master cylinder reservoir and fluid to 5lbft (old money again!) This allowed the wife to stay at home and truly was a one person job. The low pressure avoids activating any abs shut off/bias valves. You all have good patience there. I see a Toyota in your future lol

    • @Vera_and_Christian
      @Vera_and_Christian  2 роки тому +1

      It’s primarily because the AT3 sucks on wet roads. A snow flake on the tire does not make it a good winter tire, it just means that is suitable for snow. I Germany, snow is not a issue but frozen moisture and rain in cold weather. The compound of our winter tires is much softer and they have many small threads. Christian

    Christian… Cooper slip is old school and not suitable for your hubs and wheels… it causes a reaction and galling of alloy components… get some Permatex Aluminum anti seize paste- it’s designed for alloy-alloy and alloy-steel components. Copper slip is only suitable for steel-steel components- copper slip on alloy-steel like you hubs and wheels it can ‘cold weld’ the wheels on👍
    One note, you have the wheels off so often you probably will not have a problem but people who don’t take their wheels off at least annually could be stranded with a stuck wheel .

    Hmm, strange. I've never has a rear strut boot spilt in 640,000km on my Discos and I do plenty of off road.
    You missed the 2nd part of the brake adjustment, i.e. loosen the 4mm hex bolt release, tap the drum and retighten.
    Note the notches on brake backplate to help you locate the 2 adjustment positions of the drum for the handbrake adjustments.
    I find the IID tool ABS bleed to be confusing so I do a full bleed on all wheels in the old fashioned way. I think some of the problem is that GAP's (BTW its name is the Gap Eye Eye Dee tool :) first language is French as they come from the French part of Canada and sometimes their translations are a bit strange. Connect with Patrick at GAP, he's a great guy and really helpful.

    Yea, that DSC procedure is ridiculous. I just went thru the same thing on my '08 BMW 750i. Ended up like you guys using a pressurized bleeder; but instead of having help pumping the pedal, I have a one-way valve on the bleeder hose. I put it on the bleeder, open the bleeder up, then pump the brake pedal myself. Way easier and no potential for divorce...well, not for that anyway. As always, a great vid and yet another encouragement for me to get an LR3. Now, if I could just find one in this crazy used car market we have going now.

      Well, a G-class (the only Mercedes SUV we would drive) costs 45000€ with 350000km on it and is at least 25 years old. They are just plain way to expensive for us. Same goes for Toyota SUVs.I like a modern vehicle with airbags, heated seats and air conditioning. And a Land Rover is the only big SUV, which can deliver that plus the best driving comfort, for a reasonable price. 🙋‍♀️Vera
