    When you change the transfer case oil be sure to recalibrate the clutches and the position sensor. This can be done with the GAP IID tool. The LR shop manual doesn’t include this step, but it it’s necessary with the electronic center differential or you’ll have issues with the diff partial locking in normal driving.

    Danke schon Vera and Christian for your helpful, fun and inspiring videos. Bought a 2008 disco 3 tdv6 se a few months ago in excellent condition and loving it. A few issues here and there but nothing that I can't educate myself on through your videos though. Only remaining issue is the slight rev up and down, like a loss of power that occurs always between high 70,s and 80km/hr thats a bit irritating. If you put your foot down it goes away after 80kms. I have been advised that the gearbox needs a flush, transmission oil clean, but no guarantee though. Gruss aus Kapstadt. Oliver

    By the way, turning the snorkel intake backwards should not affect the airflow, but will certainly stop pretty much all of the bugs getting in and clogging the air filter.
    Seeing the wheel-change reminded me ... For info: PowerfulUK have just uploaded a video showing a modification to allow the opening of the tailgate from the inside. Not only good if you need to open the tailgate when you are inside, but also enables you to open the tailgate if the solenoid fails, which you cannot do otherwise - something LR really should have done from the start.

    If you're looking for an idea for a future video, here's a quick and simple one: How to change the windscreen washer pump.
    Dealer charges about 160 Euros to do this but parts only cost about 20 Euros. I could not find a video on how to do this (which is why I thought it might make good content)
    I did the job last week and had to take off the front grille, headlamps, wheel guards and front bumper before I could remove the washer bottle to change the pump. Apparently, it can also be done if you simply remove the wheel arch liner and get to the pump from the back. Be interesting to know if that's true.

    Looking forward to the glow plug video. I’ve heard (worth some research of your own) that the plugs are easier to remove from a warmed engine (in spite of the complications of working with hot components) Cooling each plug with compressed air immediately prior to extraction decreases the likelihood of breakage. Though should one break it would be interesting to see how the conversation would go where Christian then has to explain to Vera that ‘her’ car must now go to the scrap yard… 😱 I feel the ‘bung’ could make a further appearance 😵‍💫

    Hi from Australia🤟🇦🇺 You two are such good value, very entertaining. I bought one of those smoke testing plugs a year or so ago and it works great. I also made my own smoke machine from assorted 6 inch pvc pipe fittings, normally used for sewer access + inspection openings. I used an LPG gas bottle regulator as my ultra low pressure 0.5psi air control, and I use a normal air pressure regulator for checking for leaks that require higher pressures, like boost leaks etc. I also use baby oil, and a fibreglass wick from a garden mosquito lamp, wrapped with nichrome resistance wire. I bought a variable PWM voltage controller off eBay for $4 to control the supply voltage and current, which is a handy way to control the smoke output. I also fitted a pressure/vacuum gauge, and a floating ball manometer to my tank so I can monitor the tank pressure/vacuum and it also confirms when I have flow, and/or no leaks. The manometer also has a control valve so I can regulate air flow/volume before it goes into the tank... It's such a handy machine for all sorts of uses... I'm off to check my snorkel for leaks right now🤣👍🇦🇺

Many theories but harmonic imbalance has come up in the past. My observation on the bearings is the route from the oil pump, to the filter housing back to the oil galleries on the crank causes a loss of hydrodynamic lubrication on start up for a couple of seconds but only Landrover are the ones who know the real cause.

I'm on my 5th week of LR3 ownership, this weeks fault is a bit weird, the AC blower fan makes loud screeching noises but only when I go round a corner, the tighter the corner, the louder the screech. It seems centrifugal force is somehow pushing the fan blades over or something. Have to drop the glovebox and find out what's loose maybe. Keep up the great work you two!

      I found the fault. As soon as my wife complained her handbag was wet I saw the passenger footwell was wet! I've had this before on a Range Rover, so I found the (blocked) AC drain pipe, pulled it off and about 4 cupfuls of water came flooding out, the noise, it seems was all that water sloshing into the fan blades when we went round a corner! Not sure yet if I've unblocked it enough, we have no airline so had to use a wire coat hangar pushed down the tube, which hits something hard after about 7 inches (Heat shield?) Time will tell. At least with the Dubai heat the carpets. dry quickly.

    Hi Vera & Christian, well done! Really enjoy your videos. I have a LR4 at the moment, but i noticed recently the idle was a bit hesitant and lumpy and a grey smoke seems a lot from the exhaust. I did the intake test and found smoke coming out a hole on the top of the plastic manifold where the oil filler cap sits (it’s got a bolt in the hole) and i was wondering could a air leak in the plastic manifold be causing the engine to be not so smooth and emit more smoke than normal from the exhaust.

    Brilliant Video Christian and Vera, many thanks! Please, can you give me an advise how to get to your intake plug tool? I am really lacking of fantasy to get the right keyword for an amazon search. By the way, your snorkel causes a pressure drop in your airpath of around 30mbar more or less. This is significant. A snorkel is, in principle, a NoGo for such a sensible and well balanced airpath. You need an additional inlet into your airbox and if you want to wade really some day you can close this inlet.

    Now that I’ve stopped laughing, the reason for the increased fuel consumption is because all of the snorkel piping adds air resistance, decreasing the airflow slightly. And yes we do need snorkels in Australia!

      @Vera_and_Christian  2 роки тому +1

      Oh we don't doubt that you need snorkels. That is one reason we made a video about it because we know that we have a lot of viewers in Australia and South Africa where a snorkel is absolutely needed. We just put it on for content and for the looks of it. 😃👍🙋‍♀️ Vera

    Thanks for another great video. Now I think I need to do this test on our D3, but on the other hand, I don't want to know if there are leaks as I will need to fix them.
    The snorkel fuel consumption is interesting as I was going to fit one to our car. 0.8 is a pretty high loss. We were hit with a 0.9 increase with our new more aggressive tyres, so not keen on more loss in ecconomy.

    • @Vera_and_Christian
      @Vera_and_Christian  2 роки тому +1

      The tires did not affect our gas consumption that much. We live in a hilly area so it's higher anyways, but the snorkel hit hard. But will I do a test run now facing the snorkel backwards. The Snorkel pointing forward will push more air through (like a ram air system) and the mass air flow sensor will see this and put more fuel in as a result. At least other viewers wrote this and it's worth a try. 🙋‍♀️ Vera

    Hi Vera and Christian
    I think your high fuel consumption has something to do with the extra weight you are carrying and everything that is on the roof.

      No definitely not. We have had the roof setup way longer than the snorkel on. And we monitor the diesel consumption really close, actually calculating the real time data every single time when we fill up. And it increased when we mounting of the snorkel. 👍🙋‍♀️ Vera

    Hi Vera and Christian, with regards to your snorkel they do I believe enhance the look of the vehicle but I am sceptical as to there efficiency. I believe Land Rover say that they are a high level air intake rather than a snorkel. However I have been considering fitting one to help keep my air filter cleaner in dusty conditions and normally take a spare air filter with me. My Freelander 1 used to clog up with dust fairly quickly, however with the Discovery 3 I have not had to replace the filter on a trip due to dust clogging the filter even in very dusty conditions. I presume this is due to the intake being mounted in the side of the wing . I was very surprised just how little additional dust had accumulated during the off road trip.
    Possibly the snorkel would be more effective in drawing clean air over a longer period..
    Another enjoyable and informative video. This was a test which is definitely worth undertaking however I would not recommend ordering a plug on a work laptop or you may have some explaining to do to HR lol.
    Regards
    Peter

      Does your Disco do a single bing when you start the engine? The bing always comes when the airbag light goes off. Ours is doing that now for a while now and no faults are shown either in the info system or shown on the OBDii tool. Starting to drive us mad, slowly 😅. Now Fabians Disco is doing the same 🙄. We have checked battery, oil, and all other known causes found on the internet. 🙋‍♀️ Vera

      Only thing I could think of is battery voltage being low as mine always normally drops to 11.8v when the ignition is on engine not running

That would be too good to be true. Ours started that bing once the hdc fault dissapeared in early spring (our spring). So maybe that is the most plausible explaination. Also on Fabians Discovery, it would so nice if that is the case and everything is fixed. 😂 But we will look further into that topic. 👍🙋‍♀️ Vera

I have been worried about the hard to get to hoses since l watched your video and the trouble you had just getting to them -The intercooler down pipe split after l had a remap which could have just split anyway - lv just started seeing some smoke again so l might have another split coming or leak somewhere

      We would first check if it's the car or the key. You probably have two keys. So we would try each one for an extended time. If it's the car, you have to find the root cause. My brother inlaws car had a rotten reciever connection due to a wet spot on the inside of the car. Now the Discovery has more than one reciever, I don't know how it is on a Freelander.
