Now, this is how engine rebuild should look like on TH-cam. I have learnt two very important lessons from today's video. 1 - patience. 2 - systematic approach to solving a problem.
@@Vera_and_Christian Hi Loving the channel, I want to mention a problem I had to solve with a non start D3, it would crank no fault codes or message on dash, a real head scratcher,it turned out to be the key had lost its chip code, it was only stood up up for 6 months, key recoded as it didn’t have a spare, started straight away, never came across this problem ever again, typical LR😅 All the best David
I feel your pain! It’s so damned frustrating when you are sure you have done everything right and the engine just will not start. It can really knock your own confidence. But you will get there. There are viewers all over the world that cannot wait until the next episode and wish you both every bit of wellness possible to get and see it started.
Regardless of the initial outcome of this particular video but you are both phenomenal, and the level of work you do is highly commendable. I don't even own a landrover, but I've subscribed and enjoy the mechanical engineering aspect of your channel along with the hilarious humour banter between you both Who else is subscribed but doesn't own a Landrover??
I applaud you both on your patience and analytical approach. I think I would be throwing wrenches around the workshop about now! On one front I am glad you depict the real world where shit happens! Thank you.
Christian & Vera, excellent video. Even when Engineers who have both mechanical and electronics experience (as I also do and you obviously do) things go wrong. You do wonder how a garage franchised or otherwise would identify and fix this, let alone what the final bill would be😮
An early Sunday viewing boost this week, if not the outcome we were all expecting today. Of course we have total confidence in Vera finding the fault for Christian and normal service resuming next week. Looking forward to watching that episode already and meanwhile, thanks for sharing the frustrations as well as the elation of this project with us! Onwards…
Great edutainment as always. Thanks so much guys, and so sorry the engine didn't reward all your efforts by cooperating. That said, you've identified the problem and I'm sure all will be well again soon. Looking forward to the next instalment with baited breath. Viel gluck (mit umlaut)! 😉
I am 100% certain you have identified the issue. However I had a similar problem on a LR TD5 engine. Engine cranked non-starter. Tried everything. Transpired the starter motor was worn and creating an electrical magnetic field when under load which was confusing the crank position sensor. (I had already replaced the CPS with a new one) New starter motor and on the button. I only mention this in case the new crank ring doesn’t fix it as the starter would not be something you might consider. All the best 👍🏻
So now know we know, Christian is 'so high maintenance' and that is coming from Vera.😅 Amazing German🇩🇪 double act by keeping everyone entertained on Sunday's.👍👋👋
It's a right pig when a rebuilt engine refuses to start. I don't have a lot of experience with Land Rover diesels, I'm a V8 petrolhead myself lol but think your approach to troubleshooting the problem is spot on Christian. I hope it turns out to be a faulty trigger wheel in the end. You'll having running in the next episode! Cheers from England.
Nice early Sunday start or non-start. This is the point we were waiting for after your teaser about the crank sensor in what seems a lifetime ago. Every item you fitted, every bolt you tightened ..all the fluids ... had my breath held because we knew this was coming. Feel sorry for you, but we are all human and a lot of people will benefit from this. Oh ... and inevitable that the OMGs would turn to WTFs 🤐😁
Your diagnostic skills and patience are first rate, this is a classic example of a logical process for troubleshooting a problem. When this is finished it will be the best maintained and loved LR3. Having taken it and others apart you know every nut and bolt. The way you can add humour into the content puts your videos on another level.
Brilliant: having the tools, brains and calmness, to methodically check through all the possible problems and then get an extra week of content, couldn’t have gone better.
ITS LR TIME😊😊😊 only got to see this episode now.christian will solve this problem.these episodes have been brillant,great education on landrover discos.i can't wait to hear the disco start up! I'd say christian has it solved already!!!! Till next week folks have a good week😊😊😊😊
It's so good to see honest content in this clip. It's a nightmare when you put it all back together and it doesn't start but showing the logical approach to rectifying it will prove invaluable to others in the future. Well providing they know mates with all those scopes 😂. I feel for you both but I know that you will sort it out and we all look forward to seeing it finally start up next week 🙏the truck looks really clean and it will be great and last many more years to come for your future adventures. 👍
Vera you keep moving Christian forward, with that analytical mind, I know he’ll get it…and make you a happy camper with your LR again. You two with your diligence and sense of humor are the best👍
I actually got that from a guy in the UK who fixes his Discovery 3 in the rain, outside, all funny. And he has TH-cam a TH-cam Channel called "We are big kids" www.youtube.com/@WeAreBigKids Got to give credit where credit is due. AT least I think it was him. 😅👍🙋♀️
Thank you for the amusing presentation, that apart, you're both patient and talented. I fixed mainframes, and we too had to use your style of diagnosis, the mental pressure is significant. Discovering being let down by new faulty components is a rotten setback, especially when a whole organisation was at a standstill while we struggled. Worse situation when the wife can't have her car back. Love your videos...
I can not imagine the hours that went into diagnosing what essentially looks like a substandard new part!!! I know a lot of people who would have given up on this. Congratulations on your perseverance. Fantastic diagnosing and knowledge of the vehicle. The part manufacturer should be employing you for testing!
I’m not too surprised that it does not work yet. It’s impressive that you know how to diagnose, and have the tools. If everything just works, you don’t learn anything. So… in a way, it’s better that you need to dig deeper and know everything about everything. That always seems to give the proper result.
Amazing skills, Christian. I can't begin to imagine what this rebuild and fault diagnosis would cost in a shop. No wonder so many LR3s can be had for a song now.
Ich könnte heulen..... Das tut mir so leid für Euch beide. Ich drücke alle Daumen an Händen und Füßen dass Ihr schnell Erfolg habt mit diesem verdammten Sensor Ring.
Like many others on here, I felt for you guys in this moment, Using a scope to count the pulses during the rotational cycle on the trigger wheel is great content to watch, but not what you guys had planned for during attempted start up. As always a great explanation and as step by step as you can in relation to video content In one of your previous videos, Christian did say we would see this included in the content where we would see the engine not starting because of the aftermarket trigger wheel Keep up the great work Christian & Vera 👍
Great diagnoses, WTF Vera! This would defeat us armchair boys, although I've thought about getting a cheap Rygol scope. Fascinating viewing though, and I love Vera's impassioned remarks! You are so prim and proper Cristian, I kept hitting my head on an exposed bolt the other day, the air was blue!! Can't wait till next week, and a great tea break watching this, now on with my work!
Really interesting video. Great fault diagnostics and I hope you have success shortly. This rebuild series has been brilliant watching on a Sunday morning 😊
Keep going Christian and Vera. We have all been there when we get very close to the end of a job and don't get the results we were hoping for. Looking forward to the next instalment of LR Time.
😅👍 No you got the uncut version. Christian knows how to diagnose a problem. He singled out the triggerwheel/sensor or camshaft sensor immediately after we knew that the shortblock was ok. And we knew that with the help of starter spray. You can clearly hear that everything is moving correctly, evenso it did not start. 🙋♀️
@@Vera_and_Christian Yes, it was an amazing job, bacprobing the wires and count pulses on the scope. Even setting up the makeshift test rig using the lathe🙂👍
A suggestion… when installing earth connectors, use a dielectric grease not copper slip. You can put the copper slip ofer the top after tightening if you want
Oh my got! was on the tippy toes on my elliptical for the whole episode! between the wtf ing and the general excitement for the engine to start....Should have guessed it would be no start. Anyhow, what a memorable video guys and look forward to seeing your lr3 in action in the mountains. thanks for all the good stuff and keeping it 100!!
Oh no. You left me in big suspense. With all that effort, that engine better start. I just can't wait for the next episode. Once again, thank you for an excellent video. See you next Sunday.
OMG! So many F-bombs! 💣😅 But this is the reality of working on such projects. It's very exciting to see this project coming together, and I'm sure you both have learned a lot through this process. I'm sure this is figured out and your now have a marvelous D3 and a smiling and happy Vera.
Just watching the video I going "Start, start" God I feel your pain. Your diagnosing is amazing and I can only imagine your off camera frustration. I hope the fix is not so hard.
It didn't even seem to want to run on Start you Bastard, I would've expected it to run while you were spraying it in. I hope the air bleeds out of the cooling system easier than my wife's Opel Corsa, it took nearly two hours after I changed the thermostat last week. Your average home mechanic wouldn't have a clue on the electronics on modern engines, you are a very talented man. Another great video BTW
Love your channel. I’ve owned 2 disco 2s and now have a Land Rover Range Rover L322. Totally in love with it. Would love a LR Time badge. Looking forward to next weeks start video.
Wow, feeling your pain Vera & Christian! On the upside, fantastic content, especially the diagnosis process. Looking forward to the next episode when we know you will have sorted it.
Hello Vera and Christian, thank you very much for all your videos, they motivate me not to give up on my Discovery 2 TD5 project. I'm now facing the same problem as you. After dismantling the engine into its individual parts and putting it back together again, the car won't start. I am very interested in your solution. I wish you good luck. Many greetings from Appen, a small village in Schleswig Holstein. Marco Winter
Hallo Marco, wir kennen den Disco 2 leider nicht, auch nicht den Motor, aber dem Christian war bei uns sofort klar, der Motor braucht Sprit und ein Signal, mehr nicht, zum Starten. Diesel hat er ja bekommen, auch in der ausreichenden Menge, da haben wir Erfahrung mit. Darauf hin hat er den Geberring mit Kurbelwellensensor getestet und den Nockenwellensensor. Die sind für Signal verantwortlich. Der Geberring hat 59 Signale gegeben, spezifiziert sind 58. Das heißt bei dem war ein Magnetstreifen zuviel draufgedruckt. Damit konnte der nicht das richtige Signal geben. Unsere Lösung war, einen neuen zu kaufen, OEM, und einzubauen. Also Getriebe und Zwischengetriebe wieder raus, und wieder rein. Zum Glück kein Body-Off 😅👍🙋♀️
Well that is bad luck. Very frustrating but an excellenbt lesson in solving the problem. I would bet most mechanics would not know what an oscilloscope was let alone know how to use one.
I feel sick for you guys, don’t rule out Land Rover sabotage. There could have been a Solihull hit squad sent to gmb. Look around for discarded Subway, Big John’s or Greggs fast food containers!
Love this episode! You guys are hilariously patient problem solvers (at least on camera)! I won't be able to watch the next 2 weeks' episodes because I'll be in Northern Michigan, without internet. But I will look forwarding to catching up later to learn how you fix(ed) everything!
Hunting? Christian is in Michigan right now on work trip. We lived in Southern Michigan for almost ten years and been everywhere in the Northern Michigan and the UP. 👍😃🙋♀️
This is interesting content in so many ways, I did an electrical &electronic apprenticeship in the 70s, many of my friends did motor mechanic apprenticeship,.. it looks like it has taken 40yrs for the two to converge, do modern mechanics training programs go into all this? Long gone are the days when a tool kit was a hammer and a socket set.
I saw your comment during the engine assembly video, about the trigger wheel ring, and wondered how it had manifested . Now you are showing how you found the problem. What an incredible amount of frustration.... engine in, body on. I know a single use engine test bed is financially and space-wise out of the question. Not like old VW type 111, where an old gearbox casing bolted to the engine allowed functionality testing, with a starter, battery and fuel . Hence Vera's "! WTF ?!" comment. Totally justified in this case. Hence your decision not to beep it or edit it out. You lathe demonstration with the borrowed (not many have friends with such equipment) capture scope, clearly demonstrated, the pitfalls awaiting people who won't find that information in the Haynes manual, when the Lion didn't roar into life. Also, it justifies Vera wanting to buy OEM spare parts, and not (Cheaper ?) readily/easily available, questionable alternatives . Your videos have become mandatory viewing for LR owners..... Was watch Waldo talk about his problematic LR and wondered if he had seen this GREAT channel. THANK YOU.
😅👍Of course, he knows us and watches our videos, and we watch of course his videos. The thing with OEM parts not available is fine on a project car which sit and wait, but not on a daily driver, which needs to be ready at some point. 👍🙋♀️
I’m usually not one to reply, but felt I had to on this video. I do some work myself on my 2002 4.4 v8 Range Rover, recently did timing chain and guides etc, and already felt burned out from that. Massive respect on how far you’ve come already, I’m sure we’ll see you solve this issue in the next video(s)! I haven’t fully watched every video as some things are so specific to your engine but am in awe of the workmanship displayed nonetheless, and love the way you work together. Greetings from your western neighbors! (NL)
Ich weiß jetzt, wo ich mit meinem RR Sport zum Reparieren hinfahre! 😂 Offensichtlich habt Ihr mehr Erfahrung mit Reparaturen als die meisten Mechaniker. Ihr macht super Videos. Da kann ich, obwohl ich mal Kfz Mechaniker gelernt habe, noch viel über Land Rover lernen. Weiter so!!! 👍
The sensor signal difference was very subtle and yet you were able to pick up on it due to your attention to detail. Well done! I'm confident a lot of people would have missed that. Once you get the faulty trigger wheel out, let us know if you find any issues with it, please. I'm curious.
Have a good Sunday today I'm driving up north in the pouring rain in my Discovery 3 is there a better feeling than that? Looking forward to next Sundays video.....ups no I can't I'll be in France in the Disco! 👍🏻
That is soul destroying that a new part you’ve fitted is causing you problems. Hopefully it’s a simple case of changing it and then getting to enjoy the rewards of all your hard work.
Guten Sonntagmorgen Vera & Christian 😊 Well this was the video everyone has been waiting for especially me 😂 Body on connect everything up add fluids and watch Vera’s LR jump into life 🤔 How frustrating when it didn’t spark up for you guys 😢 But your channel is all about fixing land rovers & not a Toyota lol 😆 Have a fantastic Sunday & week and I’m sure next Sunday all will be well with Vera’s LR 🤩 xx
Good morning Christian and Vera, I enjoyed this one so much I've already watched it twice😂. An oscilloscope is such a useful tool, I didn't know how much you could do with it (like relative compression testing by the starter motor draw etc) until I started following a guy called Ivan. His channel is called " Pine Hollow Auto Diagnostics " , his channel is almost as good as yours but not half as much fun! 😂. Looking forward to next week's thrilling episode! ❤
Ivan would have scoped the trigger wheel and then gone looking for a "known good waveform" online. Presumably Christian did that but didn't find one and instead made his own "known good waveform" using OEM parts mounted in a lathe. I've been watching Ivan, Keith Defazio and Eric O, Scanner danner etc since forever and have never seen them do anything like this. It probably went over the heads of most viewers but what Christian did here was on a whole other level, like genius tier stuff.
Now, this is how engine rebuild should look like on TH-cam.
I have learnt two very important lessons from today's video.
1 - patience.
2 - systematic approach to solving a problem.
3 - cut away all cursing and throwing stuff around
4. Don't buy a Land Rover ;-)

@@Vera_and_Christian nah! You've got to put some cussing in the vid Vera, it wouldn't be a Land Rover otherwise!

It’s so damned frustrating when you are sure you have done everything right and the engine just will not start.
It can really knock your own confidence.
But you will get there.
There are viewers all over the world that cannot wait until the next episode and wish you both every bit of wellness possible to get and see it started.

Likewise. I think Vera should run a poll to ask how many non-LR owners are subbed to the channel. Would be fun to guess the number
@@mattcartwright8272 brilliant point mate 👏
Same here, I don't own a Landrover, but I would love an old school Defender.
@glenndarragh4417 I wouldn't, they rust like there's no tomorrow
What a very technical diagnostic on the pluses. Your use of your lathe and an old ring, was very clever thinking. Great work, hope the new ring works.
Vera will insist on testing it on the lathe, before installation !
Your diagnostic is really the NASA level.
I applaud you both on your patience and analytical approach. I think I would be throwing wrenches around the workshop about now! On one front I am glad you depict the real world where shit happens! Thank you.
I love how you show the good the bad the ugly
Look forward to next week to find out 👍
Christian & Vera, excellent video. Even when Engineers who have both mechanical and electronics experience (as I also do and you obviously do) things go wrong. You do wonder how a garage franchised or otherwise would identify and fix this, let alone what the final bill would be😮
Your diagnostic is really the NASA level. Amazing!

Great edutainment as always. Thanks so much guys, and so sorry the engine didn't reward all your efforts by cooperating. That said, you've identified the problem and I'm sure all will be well again soon. Looking forward to the next instalment with baited breath. Viel gluck (mit umlaut)! 😉
So sorry this happened but really impressed with your fault finding approach. Every confidence you will resolve this issue. Chin up 👍🏻
I am 100% certain you have identified the issue. However I had a similar problem on a LR TD5 engine. Engine cranked non-starter. Tried everything. Transpired the starter motor was worn and creating an electrical magnetic field when under load which was confusing the crank position sensor. (I had already replaced the CPS with a new one) New starter motor and on the button.
I only mention this in case the new crank ring doesn’t fix it as the starter would not be something you might consider. All the best 👍🏻

Love this episode! You guys are hilariously patient problem solvers (at least on camera)! I won't be able to watch the next 2 weeks' episodes because I'll be in Northern Michigan, without internet. But I will look forwarding to catching up later to learn how you fix(ed) everything!
Hunting? Christian is in Michigan right now on work trip. We lived in Southern Michigan for almost ten years and been everywhere in the Northern Michigan and the UP. 👍😃🙋♀️
Yes, deer hunting! 🦌🔫😁. I would love to meet you guys some day!
This is interesting content in so many ways, I did an electrical &electronic apprenticeship in the 70s, many of my friends did motor mechanic apprenticeship,.. it looks like it has taken 40yrs for the two to converge, do modern mechanics training programs go into all this? Long gone are the days when a tool kit was a hammer and a socket set.
Always enjoyable - even the stuff ups!
I saw your comment during the engine assembly video, about the trigger wheel ring, and wondered how it had manifested .
Now you are showing how you found the problem.
What an incredible amount of frustration.... engine in, body on.
I know a single use engine test bed is financially and space-wise out of the question.
Not like old VW type 111, where an old gearbox casing bolted to the engine allowed functionality testing, with a starter, battery and fuel .
Hence Vera's "! WTF ?!" comment.
Totally justified in this case.
Hence your decision not to beep it or edit it out.
You lathe demonstration with the borrowed (not many have friends with such equipment) capture scope, clearly demonstrated, the pitfalls awaiting people who won't find that information in the Haynes manual, when the Lion didn't roar into life.
Also, it justifies Vera wanting to buy OEM spare parts, and not (Cheaper ?) readily/easily available, questionable alternatives .
Your videos have become mandatory viewing for LR owners.....
Was watch Waldo talk about his problematic LR and wondered if he had seen this GREAT channel.
THANK YOU.
😅👍Of course, he knows us and watches our videos, and we watch of course his videos. The thing with OEM parts not available is fine on a project car which sit and wait, but not on a daily driver, which needs to be ready at some point. 👍🙋♀️
Next week! Fingers crossed 🤞!
I’m usually not one to reply, but felt I had to on this video. I do some work myself on my 2002 4.4 v8 Range Rover, recently did timing chain and guides etc, and already felt burned out from that. Massive respect on how far you’ve come already, I’m sure we’ll see you solve this issue in the next video(s)! I haven’t fully watched every video as some things are so specific to your engine but am in awe of the workmanship displayed nonetheless, and love the way you work together. Greetings from your western neighbors! (NL)
Thanks
Oh no i really feel for you guys all that work im hoping it is a silly plug not plugged in its a lot to do you just need a checklist 👍🤞.
Ralph
I thought the engine would start first time 😂がんばって下さい😊
Good Sunday morning to you both and all who's looking 🎉
Thank you.Super.
Ich weiß jetzt, wo ich mit meinem RR Sport zum Reparieren hinfahre! 😂
Offensichtlich habt Ihr mehr Erfahrung mit Reparaturen als die meisten Mechaniker. Ihr macht super Videos. Da kann ich, obwohl ich mal Kfz Mechaniker gelernt habe, noch viel über Land Rover lernen. Weiter so!!! 👍
The sensor signal difference was very subtle and yet you were able to pick up on it due to your attention to detail. Well done! I'm confident a lot of people would have missed that.
Once you get the faulty trigger wheel out, let us know if you find any issues with it, please. I'm curious.
Yes, next video! Christian
Really enjoyed regardless of start up or not. Enjoy seeing the honest challenges
Have a good Sunday today I'm driving up north in the pouring rain in my Discovery 3 is there a better feeling than that? Looking forward to next Sundays video.....ups no I can't I'll be in France in the Disco! 👍🏻
Totally agree on painting brake calipers, leave them alone.
Thanks
Very sorry for you both. But a superb video as always
That is soul destroying that a new part you’ve fitted is causing you problems. Hopefully it’s a simple case of changing it and then getting to enjoy the rewards of all your hard work.
Guten Sonntagmorgen Vera & Christian 😊 Well this was the video everyone has been waiting for especially me 😂 Body on connect everything up add fluids and watch Vera’s LR jump into life 🤔 How frustrating when it didn’t spark up for you guys 😢 But your channel is all about fixing land rovers & not a Toyota lol 😆 Have a fantastic Sunday & week and I’m sure next Sunday all will be well with Vera’s LR 🤩 xx
Very interesting video thank you.
Good morning Christian and Vera, I enjoyed this one so much I've already watched it twice😂. An oscilloscope is such a useful tool, I didn't know how much you could do with it (like relative compression testing by the starter motor draw etc) until I started following a guy called Ivan. His channel is called " Pine Hollow Auto Diagnostics " , his channel is almost as good as yours but not half as much fun! 😂. Looking forward to next week's thrilling episode! ❤
Ivan would have scoped the trigger wheel and then gone looking for a "known good waveform" online. Presumably Christian did that but didn't find one and instead made his own "known good waveform" using OEM parts mounted in a lathe. I've been watching Ivan, Keith Defazio and Eric O, Scanner danner etc since forever and have never seen them do anything like this. It probably went over the heads of most viewers but what Christian did here was on a whole other level, like genius tier stuff.
God I love watching you guys
Feeling the pain guys. Was on the edge of my seat. The course of true love never runs smooth.. but im sure youll sort it..
