    honestly think Cristian knows more about engines than the Land Rover mechanics. He continues to show us your knowledge. We have a lot to learn from you. A big hug from Portugal.

    Exceptional work to not only rebuild the engine by yourself, but to actually go through the time and effort to document and on top of that create the Excel file so others can "easily" replicate what you have done.
    You know someone truly loves Land Rovers when they are willing to do all of this.

    I do chuckle; my brother and I rebuilt a race car engine almost overnight after it blew the head. We didn't know what we were doing, we just undid it all, cleaned it, new head and bolted it back up. It survived a test day and 1 lap of the race, before the block blew up. The amount of stuff we didn't do, I'm surprised that it did a full test day! You vids are so educational, they should be playing these in class

    45 years ago, we have a driver who had accidentally pulled out not only the cylinder head but also a wet cylinder liner on his Citroën DS. After some brainstorming, we beveled the liner on the bottom like the piston insertion tool and assembled the engine without removing the piston.

    Hey Chris a tip to insert the wire clip for the piston pin easier is the get a flathead screwdriver and cut a little notch in it that way the wire clip locks in screwdriver and u can push it in better without it slipping out.

    Love your posts, never stop. I have a disco 3 2007. My front and both back locks don’t work and they quoted me almost R15 000 in South Africa to replace. I saw on one of your previous posts you ordered the little white boxes (motors I think) from China. Would you please share with me the company you ordered from? I think the broken locks are messing with my computers. When I drive it opens and closes continuously and then switches on the hazard lights. I am an older lady so please excuse my way of explaining. I love my disco and will never sell it. So I am for ever having small things fixed by my Landy specialist. My son has done all the services needed and is absolutely great so I believe the disco will outlive me. I enjoy your posts please don’t ever stop. Have a wonderful day. Regards. Marianne

    • @Vera_and_Christian
      @Vera_and_Christian  8 місяців тому

      It is very difficult to replace the motors. Better replace the locks with Amazon parts. 40 Euro each in Germany. Don’t have the workshop do this. Ask your son to do it. Sometimes the module only needs lube and cleaning. No chance that your Discovery will outlive you - my lady. Christian

    Very funny when you were talking about what different brands the good guys use opposed to the villan. I used to use a Toyota rav 4 diesel to shoot my videos but it overheated and the head gasket is gone as it 17 years old it's been parked hope to pull the head of and see the extent of the damage.
    To be able to continue to make my videos and travel to work I bought a Hilux so now I'm being associated with terrorists!! I like to think of myself as a tourist! You know I need a vehicle that can survive going off a cliff and being washed in by the tide only to open the door let the water drain out get in turn the key and drive off making more videos!!
