    Christian it’s important you don’t let them Facebook comments get to you buddy. You and Vera honestly are great. Your approach is stronger then diy and inspires people to have a go to save money on what can be potentially an expensive car to run if you don’t have a go yourself. Myself included. I look at some jobs and think no way. Watch your videos and sometimes I’m out same day having a go. Yourself and powerful uk inspired me and continue to do so. So much so I have created a new UA-cam too. Just for my discovery adventures. Be on the lookout for a mention many times ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

    In the shop, we really don’t think too much about creating tools, as we have them there. Plenty of others around too, and remind us “hey don’t forget THAT” or “that you don’t have to do yet”. Great respect for being able to do this big job in your own!
    I hope we’re all beginning to realize the engineer’s thoughts: “everything is real easy to do on this engine, you just need to take off the body!”

    I'm afraid I agree with Vera, this could not be more exciting! Subscribed within the first few minutes of viewing. I am humbled by the enthusiasm for Land Rovers around the globe, whereas in the UK the brand is soon to quietly fade away, like a chastened dog, tail between its legs. Thanks to a pair of charming Germans keeping the spirit alive... I'd like to think Britain never really left Europe, we're just on a break.
