If there were no Land-Rovers, there would be no LR-time, and Vera and Cristian would be bored every Week-end and getting fat from sitting and watching coffee videos! Thank god for Land-Rover!!!
If there were no Land-Rovers, there would be no LR-time, and Vera and Cristian would be DRIVING round the world in a LAND CRUISER making videos for LC TIME😁😁
Blacksmiths were looked upon as wizards in ancient times. They took what looked like rock and turned it into useful metal objects! You, on the other hand, Christian can take a blank of metal and turn it into a spare part using a sketch scribbled on a post it note! Now that's what I call magic!
Every time I want to buy a Disco 3 I just go and watch LR Time, and it does the trick, puts me off every time. Thanks Vera and Cristian for great content every time.
Only those who can deal with all these problems should by a Disco 3 these days. Even the Disco 4 is getting up in age and harder to maintain. Bolts even snap easily on the Disco 4. Wait for an upcoming video. 😅👍🙋♀️
@@hughmarcus1 I would look for something that is easier to work on, that means taking step back in technology. It's hard to say what exactly I would go for. Disco 3 diesel, has no competition in his price range when you look at comfort, off-road capability and technology that was fitted back then. But on the down side there is maintenance fineness that will come for you at some point.
@@Vera_and_Christian there is nothing you can't fix when you have lathes, welding kit + knowledge. Keep up the good work, it's a pleasure watching you.
There’s only one thing about your channel. Once I’ve binged watched all your videos I have to wait weekly to watch a new one lol keep up the good work.
Vera,you say that you are stressed. If you did not have your own genius mechanic/ machinist, and had to pay a Land Rover dealer for all the work that he does, you would be more than stressed, you would be suicidal.You both have my respect, but Mr Genius, has my total respect.
How wonderful it is to be able to use tools from your Dad. I have the same situation, not as technical, but every time i pick up a tool i inherited from my Dad, now longer with us, i get a good feeling. Thank you Christian. You have given me good memories.
My FL2 steering was noisy , Land Rover quoted £2000 for new pump & rack to fix . I fixed it myself in 5 minutes with a new Fluid reservoir from ebay for £10.49 😊 Great video Christian and Vera
Hi, yet another good-to-watch episode today. As an ex-engineer for my 40 years In AERO parts making, I become more alert to Christian`s workshop expertise. They say you can judge how must a guy does at work by the swarf left on the machine and floor. Real Engineers look at a product and notice more of how it was machined rather than how the part works or Is Integrated into the assembly. Don't Tell Christian he Is so damn clever Vera eh - LOL. Thanks both for a watchable video.
Wow, what an amazing job you guys have done. I would have taken the hydraulic hose to a specialist shop and had them swap the end fittings over because I dont have a machine shop in the kitchen 😁😜all sounds good now and let's hope the steering knuckles completely silence the job👍🏻I needed my LR Time fix so much today that I was watching your overlanding in Switzerland video with the Forts and the switchbacks (again)whilst waiting for this one to go live 😁see you next Sunday
Quality engineering & brilliant hydraulic block fabrication. I can't believe someone has been moaning about Robin working. Probably someone who lives and sleeps with earbuds or headphones and their sensitive little ears can't handle hammering. Loved Robins critique on the tool weld. Thanks, Christian & and Vera, for another Sunday video
Trust me I’m English and been in Germany for 10 years if you cut the grass on a Sunday someone will report you ,it’s even illegal to wash your car at home
Good afternoon Vera & Christian 😊 Another great video working on Vera’s precious LR3 👍🏻 Love how protective she’s is about it and how Christian treats it so well 🤩 Kisses for Vera 😘🏴
Excellent video - I am always amazed at Christian's ingenuity - designing and making that adaptor - amazing! Though I was happy to hear how reliable you late Discovery 4 is - it gives me hope with mine. Now I have to go dashboard diving in my D4 - Amazon have just delivered some grabbing tools today. I have been swapping the internal lights for LED from PowerfulUK and Land Rover did not plug in the passenger footwell light in properly when it was made. The old light worked, but the connector fell off as I removed the old light and I now have to go searcing with grabbers in the hole to try and retreive it. Wish me luck...
0:30 The fact that you demonstrated the *whining noise* and felt the need to put a text overlay that explains when we are hearing sounds from Vera, not the whining servo pump..... ;)
Toyoda with a d is actually the name of the family that started Toyota, all those years ago. Akio Toyoda is the current CEO. Kichiiro (sp?) Toyoda was the founder. I don't know if this explains why that pump has Toyoda on it, but Toyota mave have sold units to Land Rover, and said, "this how you do it, Mardell-san".
Goodness me, did I hear you right? DO NOT SELL THE DISCO 3! What a debacle, OMG. Great video and improvisation Christian. That bracket is another work of art, perhaps not so that DIY spanner, shame! Wonderful entertainment for a Sunday morning.
Those wonderful Harbour Freight double ended felxible ratchet are so useful on Land Rover and Range Rovers. I have two and I am located in New Zealand. I picked mine up in California when I got one for a garage owner who had broken his as he used it all the time on Toyotas. I even used mine today doing the Transmission filter upgrade on my Range Rover Sport 2007 ZF 6H26 trans.
Hydraulic Hose.....if you took the old pipes to a hydraulic hose specialist, they would replace the flexible sections of the original ones for around €10 per 15cm section. The EU3/4 issue, again the hose specialist would cut the compression band from the wrong hose to allow the correct end and then compress a new band to the section of rubber holding it.
I am 100% certain that this does not work. There is not a single piece of standard hose or fitting on this car. The compression band is part of the fitting and not of the hose. No way to repair these. Christian
@@Vera_and_Christian If it can be made to start with, it can be remade. Started in the automotive trade in the early 80's and worked all over the world, when I was a mechanic in Antarctica we repaired all our own hoses by carefully cutting off the old crimping and then replacing the hose and putting new crimps on. I remember a AC hose on my L322 going in France and it was only the rubber section that had rubbed though, the new LR hose was €180. I went to several really unhelpful hose specialists in France who didn't want to know...in the end I posted it back to my Dad in Wales who went to the local hydraulic specialist and it was repaired within 20 min using my original metal sections and replacing the damaged rubber... total cost including postage back to France was less than €45. I'll have a bet with you Christian, if it's only the rubber section you are worried about (no damage to the metal sections) post me the hose and I'll get it repaired here in Wales and post it back to you at my own cost. If I can get it done, it'll cost you a Tee Shirt. Brenden
@@Vera_and_Christian I recently took all my P38 hydraulic lines (transmission, engine oil, and steering) to a local hydraulics shop, and they brazed new barbs to the original metal pipes, so they could use standard flexible hoses and crimp fittings. Next time it will be an easy job to replace just the rubber and crimps. Cost was significantly below even Britpart.
Greetings from a Brit in Bonn! Just 'Discovery'd' your channel and have fallen in love with your videos. Great to watch, hugely entertaining and I've learned so much about Toyotas from Christian :)
Wow! (as usual). Rather worrying that the correct parts were out of stock - but fortunately for your LR3 you have a Christian fabrication specialist on site! Looking forward to seeing you next Sunday too...
I love this couple.they are so funny. I wish my ex and I got along as well. I’ve been watching their site about a year and they always are entertaining.
My mind is boggled! I have no idea what Christian was doing in his machine shop but it was bloody impressive! IF I was there I think they would just tell me to make the sandwiches and tea.
Great job Vera and Christian! The pipe block was a work of art Christian, even if it took two attempts! The automatic advance boring head of your dad's is a very nice piece of no doubt German engineering. All in all a good piece of content for the channel.
Great video again. I love it when you hit a problem and come up with something to resolve it. I sometimes do it myself however if I had a workshop like Christian I could do a lot more. keep up the good work..
How funny, my favorite Sunday morning show is tackling power steering whilst I'm up at 4a getting ready to swap the the entire power steering system, rack and all, in a Chrysler that's going to take at least half a day
You guys are so fun. Love the custom bracket! Imagine if someone in the future is working on that LR3 and notices the power steering pump...."WTF???" ha ha ha.
This is really helpful. Mine for over a year will make a loud groan when reversing at full lock. Lower arms probably are close to replacement (again) but everything else feels tight but I have same kms 291,000 as you so watching with great interest. Other than sway bar drop links and lower arms everything else is original.
A sad moment finding a problem. Then a tough repair followed by sadder emotion when selling the vehicle was mentioned. Then a happy result. (I was going to say ending but that may be taken the wrong way):) Also very good video work Vera. Very difficult in confined spaces and varying light.
How Christian says 'we need a bracket' or 'we need to machine it' is like reliving the bracket theme on Bad Obsession Motorsport who put a TOYOTA engine in a Mini. Because 'why not?'. I was only 12 when they started and I am 76 now ... 🤣🤣 Oh and I have fixed all the coolant and water leaks on the p38. Yaay!
Nice work Christian, Reminds me of s freelander Lhd i brought for use in Spain. Steering seemed a bit heavy , but drove it down to spain and the looked at it. Found out a Polish gent had converted a rhd to lhd because they sell better however he inverted the old steering rack and bodged the hoses by using a piece of 12mm aircon pipe , which caused a restriction and the heavy steering. Cost me 250 euros euro for lhd hoses and a used rack from italy 150 euros to fix. Much better watching you work though! Just sold my d3 hse as the bank balance and uk tax snd insurance are killing me! Tell Vera to hang on to hers.... it a mean d3 Best regards Alan
you probably know this, and i'm no desktop mechanic, but i've found a bit of warm water and some fairy liquid helps get difficult pipes to slip on. Great video as usual, love the machining!
Get yourself a Range Rover Sport with leaker active sway bars. Make sure that it has filled with water after heavy rain and all the electrics have died. Cheap, and a lot of work to fix!
I replaced the power steering pump last fall. Struggled for over an hour with the infamous rear bolt until I undid the left engine mount bolt, which allowed me to lift the left side of the engine a couple cm. It made it so much easier to turn the bolt with a swivel joint socket. I would very much recommend doing the same. Although maybe not jack the engine up by the oil pan like I did. 😅
What a fantastic watch! New subscriber, binge watched last year compulsive watching. Please keep them! All the best Christian and Vera. David. Ps old LR owner series 3, ( analog not digital) !
ITS LR TIME😊😊😊 great start to a sunday morning.if it needs to be adapted christian will adapt it.great engineering.vera which landrover is going to stay??? 😊😊😊 have great week and stay safe.looking forward to next weeks episode😊
The most amazing workshop I've ever seen. Did you look at trying to rebuild the old pump? With such an amazing shop, knowledge and skill seems there's not much you couldn't do.
There really wouldn't be much point in even trying to rebuild the PS pump. Being an Aluminium alloy housing the wear will be in the housing and not the rotors (or maybe vanes depending on the type) if it were a cast iron housing it probably would be worth trying, but I doubt if the parts would have been available.
@@Vera_and_Christian I was just thinking you couldn't get a Euro 4 so you had to modify the euro 3 version, which was quite a bit of work. May be refurbing old one might have been easier. Samrodian.. explained housing could be worn.. fair enough. In the end you created a great video that shows what can be done with machining. Advanced machining is not generally something people consider but your videos could well inspire people 👍👍
Christian, you are such a creative engineer, making the modified part for the power steering pump, if i knew i could have scaled the barbed wire fence & got you the right part from Solihull & sent it over, great to see Robin at work, tell him to start his own channel, has he seen the woman blacksmith on youtube 'Path of Fire'
Awesome fabrication and repair job! If you get stuck like this again it may also be possible to silver solder steel AN fittings on the stock hose ends and make your own hose with AN connections. Probably not as much fun for you though LOL.
Christian the AC equipment is quite cheap to buy. Got all mine second hand for £200. You need a recovery compressor, vacuum pump, a gauge and hose set and an old empty R134a or R1234 gas bottle. And some PAG oil Bob's yer uncle 😊
@@Vera_and_ChristianI expect your very busy with your channel. Its really appreciated you taking the time to reply to the comments, many out there don't bother.
I recently had a problem with my power steering hose {not a Landrover} , it only made itself apparent when my mechanic had his head under the hood and i turned the steering.That was the money shot moment.It wasn't apparent until i turned the steering. That was, in Veras words, a debacle.Seized bolts, broken bolts and a previous fix using liquid metal. All sorted now!
Mal weider ein schönes Video. 🥰So bleiben die Schrauben ja schon mal schön gängig am Disco 3, so oft wie Ihr die schon gelöst und festgezogen habt. 😁😘 An der Batterie lohnt sich ja schon fast ein Hauptschalter, wie ihn einige Defenderfahrer auch haben. 🤔😘
I love Land Rover /Range Rover but I also love Citroen 2CV , no cooling system , no ecu , no head gasket . And lots of room to work under the bonnet. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
I fitted a battery isolator that allows you to disconnect battery power without undoing the battery terminal. Had an audited to keep codes alive. It’s a great modification.
Please, please do an LR Time toolbox tour video - i.e. Christian and Veras top tools for dealing with LR debacles - just standard hand tools, brands, quality etc. (not home made tools though - they are very special)
I guess the adapter you engineered, is the most reliable part in the Discovery 3 now!. Did you forget the power steering funnel adapter you made some time back when you had to fill the system back up?. Loving the videos.
Once Cristian starts machining a new tool or a new piece of hardware I just think I am watching wizardry. He is a 10x engineer, there cannot be many 10x-ers in the world. I am floored by your resourcefulness sir!
Christian, I was a little offended by the comment about Toyota drivers doing videos making coffee. It was somewhat stereotypical, not all Uber reliable Land Cruiser owners sit around drinking coffee. I own a Land Cruiser and I sit around drinking tea.
Ok, sorry. But we did not refer to the drivers. We pointed towards (most) TH-camrs driving Toyota. They show how to make coffee in most of their vidoes. They also sit around the barn fire or cook something. Then they drive around a lot with drone shots and musik. Not much happening in those videos. I am not talking about Ronny Dahl for sure. LR TH-camrs got car trouble in every third video. Less coffee and food cooking. LOL. Christian
That undercutting tool must have an epicyclic gearbox and it looks likely to be a very very expensive specialist tool. It is nothing without a very skilled operator of course and we obviously have one here. The ultimate independently intelligent tool.
Outstanding of course, but just think how much free time and money you would have if you had a Toyota lol A close friend of mine is a retried Landrover specialist having his own company for many years , even the local main dealer sent him work, his saying is “ failure is not a option “ Great work guys
Basically, when you rebuild a LandRover discovery, replace everything! It's like the mop I have had for 20 years! It's only had five heads and two handles!
Hi Cristian and Vera do some more video's on the Queen look at the climate settings on the heater there is different settings yours is on the quite and soft so you don't get a lot fan speed thanks dave
If there were no Land-Rovers, there would be no LR-time, and Vera and Cristian would be bored every Week-end and getting fat from sitting and watching coffee videos! Thank god for Land-Rover!!!

Took the words right of my mouth 🤣🤣
Wunderbar! Now that was a debacle 😊
There would be lots of exciting things happening in the machine shop, like machining Toyota beans!
And they would be sitting in a Toyota and didnt even know, if the car has an engine or not😂
I own a Toyota, but I’m drinking coffee whilst watching LR Time. Never a debacle 😄
😂👍
Yeah, lifes too short to own a Landrover.
Blacksmiths were looked upon as wizards in ancient times. They took what looked like rock and turned it into useful metal objects! You, on the other hand, Christian can take a blank of metal and turn it into a spare part using a sketch scribbled on a post it note! Now that's what I call magic!
Christian is a one man orchestra. He design the parts, skillfully fabricate it, and install it precisely. Excellent job, my man!
Another repair brought to you by the super talented Christian.. amazing the quality of workmanship and the tooling in a home garage set up.
Who needs a manual when you have the master at work with his ever smiling assistant,once again an enjoyable and educational video thanks guys
Highly skilled intelligent guy ….. wish some of the main LR dealers were the same
Ahh, my favourite Sunday morning entertainment, hope you are both well.

Dealerships are the Devil!!!
Brilliant solution, now you can bolt on either hose the older type and the newer type. Good job, the whole family got involved as well, nice to see.

It made it so much easier to turn the bolt with a swivel joint socket. I would very much recommend doing the same. Although maybe not jack the engine up by the oil pan like I did. 😅
Very good idea 👍
Gald I am NOT a desktop mechanic! Thanks for another educational video.
What a fantastic watch!
New subscriber, binge watched last year compulsive watching.
Please keep them!
All the best Christian and Vera.

Ps old LR owner series 3, ( analog not digital) !
😃👍🙋♀️
ITS LR TIME😊😊😊 great start to a sunday morning.if it needs to be adapted christian will adapt it.great engineering.vera which landrover is going to stay??? 😊😊😊 have great week and stay safe.looking forward to next weeks episode😊
Incredible work 👏👏👏 I’m thinking Vera & Christian need to be at the top of the survival pyramid 🙏🏼
😅👍🙋♀️
Sunday morning Verio and C show! What a great video today (actually always) I really enjoyed watching and learning (sort of) keep em coming ! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I wonder if a hydraulic shop could re crimp a new hose with the old fittings?
Unlikely, because this is all non-standard stuff. Not a single fitting is stock and all is stainless. Christian
@@Vera_and_Christian Ah, OK. Unfortunate then.
The most amazing workshop I've ever seen. Did you look at trying to rebuild the old pump? With such an amazing shop, knowledge and skill seems there's not much you couldn't do.
There really wouldn't be much point in even trying to rebuild the PS pump. Being an Aluminium alloy housing the wear will be in the housing and not the rotors (or maybe vanes depending on the type) if it were a cast iron housing it probably would be worth trying, but I doubt if the parts would have been available.
The pump was only 140 Euro from a good brand. Christian
@@Vera_and_Christian I was just thinking you couldn't get a Euro 4 so you had to modify the euro 3 version, which was quite a bit of work. May be refurbing old one might have been easier. Samrodian.. explained housing could be worn.. fair enough. In the end you created a great video that shows what can be done with machining. Advanced machining is not generally something people consider but your videos could well inspire people 👍👍
Christian, you are such a creative engineer, making the modified part for the power steering pump, if i knew i could have scaled the barbed wire fence & got you the right part from Solihull & sent it over, great to see Robin at work, tell him to start his own channel, has he seen the woman blacksmith on youtube 'Path of Fire'
Fantastic milling job!
Thanks again for another brilliant episode!
Just finished watching 6 hours of LR Time and this pops up ❤
😳😅👌💪🙏🙋♀️
Awesome fabrication and repair job! If you get stuck like this again it may also be possible to silver solder steel AN fittings on the stock hose ends and make your own hose with AN connections. Probably not as much fun for you though LOL.
Christian the AC equipment is quite cheap to buy.
Got all mine second hand for £200.
You need a recovery compressor, vacuum pump, a gauge and hose set and an old empty R134a or R1234 gas bottle.
And some PAG oil
Bob's yer uncle 😊
It seems like every job on a Discovery would be easy if it's an engine out job 😅 great video as usual 👍
Absolutely, if there would just not be the airconditioning. 😅👍🙋♀️
@@Vera_and_ChristianI expect your very busy with your channel. Its really appreciated you taking the time to reply to the comments, many out there don't bother.
I recently had a problem with my power steering hose {not a Landrover} , it only made itself apparent when my mechanic had his head under the hood and i turned the steering.That was the money shot moment.It wasn't apparent until i turned the steering. That was, in Veras words, a debacle.Seized bolts, broken bolts and a previous fix using liquid metal. All sorted now!
😳😅👍🙋♀️
Mal weider ein schönes Video. 🥰So bleiben die Schrauben ja schon mal schön gängig am Disco 3, so oft wie Ihr die schon gelöst und festgezogen habt. 😁😘 An der Batterie lohnt sich ja schon fast ein Hauptschalter, wie ihn einige Defenderfahrer auch haben. 🤔😘
Ja, dann muss ich aber hunderd Fragen jedesmal beantworten "Wo ist denn der Schalter an meinem Disco?" 😅👍🙋♀️
Nice job and a great modification 👍👍
Wonderful as always, well done guys, amazing as always ❤
You guys are amazing engineers.
I love Land Rover /Range Rover but I also love Citroen 2CV , no cooling system , no ecu , no head gasket . And lots of room to work under the bonnet. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Another great video guys. Genius ! Enjoyed watching 👍🏼👍🏼
I fitted a battery isolator that allows you to disconnect battery power without undoing the battery terminal. Had an audited to keep codes alive. It’s a great modification.
Good idea.
Please, please do an LR Time toolbox tour video - i.e. Christian and Veras top tools for dealing with LR debacles - just standard hand tools, brands, quality etc. (not home made tools though - they are very special)
I guess the adapter you engineered, is the most reliable part in the Discovery 3 now!. Did you forget the power steering funnel adapter you made some time back when you had to fill the system back up?. Loving the videos.
Great job Christian good job you know how to make things.😀😀😀
Incredible job once again
Once Cristian starts machining a new tool or a new piece of hardware I just think I am watching wizardry.
He is a 10x engineer, there cannot be many 10x-ers in the world.
I am floored by your resourcefulness sir!
There is also Alen Millyard, another amazing man with machining skills beyond the norm.
Simply brilliant 😊
Christian, I was a little offended by the comment about Toyota drivers doing videos making coffee.
It was somewhat stereotypical, not all Uber reliable Land Cruiser owners sit around drinking coffee. I own a Land Cruiser and I sit around drinking tea.
Ok, sorry. But we did not refer to the drivers. We pointed towards (most) TH-camrs driving Toyota. They show how to make coffee in most of their vidoes. They also sit around the barn fire or cook something. Then they drive around a lot with drone shots and musik. Not much happening in those videos. I am not talking about Ronny Dahl for sure. LR TH-camrs got car trouble in every third video. Less coffee and food cooking. LOL. Christian
@@Vera_and_Christian I was just pulling your leg Christian.
No offence was taken.
Great video and a wonderful piece of fabrication.
What we don't see is Vera snacking every half hour, she's always hungry. OMG really?
Amazing machining thanks for the video.
That undercutting tool must have an epicyclic gearbox and it looks likely to be a very very expensive specialist tool. It is nothing without a very skilled operator of course and we obviously have one here. The ultimate independently intelligent tool.
Outstanding of course, but just think how much free time and money you would have if you had a Toyota lol
A close friend of mine is a retried Landrover specialist having his own company for many years , even the local main dealer sent him work, his saying is “ failure is not a option “
Great work guys
Sunday Super Content 😎
Basically, when you rebuild a LandRover discovery, replace everything! It's like the mop I have had for 20 years! It's only had five heads and two handles!
Hi Cristian and Vera do some more video's on the Queen look at the climate settings on the heater there is different settings yours is on the quite and soft so you don't get a lot fan speed thanks dave
I know that setting. Thanks. Got it on medium. More to come in a few weeks. Christian
With regards to the noise coming from the blacksmiths shop, In England i would say you can either like it or lump it,😀.
Will add this to my vocabulary. Christian
