- We take our fresly restorated Land Rover Discovery 3 2.7L TDV6 down into the Western Alps between France and Italy for a intense Shake Down. Hopefully, it will not fail on the trail and makes it back home under its own power. Hope you enjoy watching our little adventure.

“In Germany everything is forbidden but in Switzerland it was never allowed” 😂😂😂❤
This is so true...😅
That’s great line 😂😂😂
Hilarious!
Stunning place to visit. But, I felt like walking on egg shells the whole time I was there.
But what about Italy? 🇮🇹
@@michaelcaton9358it‘s forbidden in Italy too but they don’t care about. 😉
Never failed to be impressed by just how well organised you guys are. Fantastic video as always guys!
Editing makes everything look easy
To only have missed 1 clamp after a full rebuild is extremely good, you should both give yourselves a big pat on the back. Your trip looked awesome ❤
I love that you both have a great sense of humour in a crisis ❤ well done Christian 👍
Both total legends....👍🙂
🤗🙋♀️
Dear Vera & Christian, So impressive as always and extremely inspirational. I just love watching what you do with your Discos. Making an expedition to the Alps was an adventurous test run and you made it! Well done and a very beautiful video, Thank you so much.
🤗🙏🙋♀️

ITS LR TIME😊😊😊 thanks for taking us with you.what a great episode today guys.a great rebuild with little going wrong.great humor as always.looking forward to the next episode 😊😊😊
You two are truly two wonderful people 🙏🏴
🤗🙏🙋♀️
You should be nominated for a Nobel prize for "making a brand new discovery"!
My favourite viewing over Sunday breakfast, thanks to you both.
Very brave to go on a long trip with an untried vehicle, but looked a real experience. Glad you both got back safely and now Christian can investigate the hiccups.
i have an '90 toyota hilux surf that i drove a few years ago from southern california up to northern alberta. A coolant hose broke in northern idaho (the middle of nowhere), on sunday afternoon with almost no cell service. We had no water or tools with us. I was able to get someone to come out 40 miles from the closest town for a tow and he got us back to the o'reilly's 30 minutes before closing. I bought 1 foot of hose, a pair of pliers and some coolant. We fixed it in the parking lot and were back on the road, only a couple hours behind schedule. I know exactly the feeling you must have had when all that steam blasted out (except for the part where 50 000 people would be watching). Those are the things that make a trip memorable, and thats why we drive the old stuff.
But the best thing in the US is, that whenever you are in a town, no matter how small it is, there is at least a Napa autoparts store then. 😃👍We lived in Michigan for almost 10 years and drove out West every summer in our Jeep. When we visited Utah and Cali this August, we went to a O'Reillys for the first time. 👍🙋♀️
wow amazing views, I admire you both on keeping calm with all those problems on the discovery.
Inspirational adventures as always.
Thank you for sharing. 🙂🙂
Brilliant, he looks and acts like like a mechanic, great to see under pressure
Brilliant video and stunning views. Vera is a miniature powerhouse when it comes to fitness. I'm really surprised you're not towing a Sankey workshop trailer Christian.
I'm glad you got home, okay? At least we are guaranteed more videos on you fault finding the transfer case and propshaft
Our tools we take are dialed in to what is absolutely necessary. 👍🙋♀️
@@Vera_and_Christian that craftsman box is like a tardis
@@AW-Services Oh yes, and I would never trade it, ever 😃👌🙋♀
Thanks For Sharing Best wishes From Liverpool UK
Not a LR owner but worked for Ford jaguar and Land rover
Vera you have just demonstrated why to a large extent only a Landrover can undertake a journey like that. Certainly no alternative make of vehicle at 17 years is likely to be viable. Wise to have taken your mechanic also! Good luck with the transfer box and a great show. You may also read that insuring a landrover in the UK is becoming a big big expensive problem, because car thieves always find ways to hack into them, strip the cars and sell the parts. LR are recalling some to fit more robust anti theft devices.
I am somewhat surprised with the Swiss habit of not allowing things, that you can just camp anywhere in the Alps with a car. Perhaps its a historic thing? They were a couple of lovely places to spend the night. Thank you for taking us with you. 👍
Amazing footage from the mountains, I love to drive in the Austrian mountains, the views are spectacular. Thanks for your great content.
Great video as always. You guys make me laugh so much with your humour. If those are the only issues after a complete rebuild, that’s pretty good. Well done you guys.
😅👍I think so too. I have put on 6000km by now and running so great. 🙋♀️
Brilliant! Just did body off LR4, replaced turbos, new air intakes, new oil pump, new water pump, vacuum hoses, coolant hoses, and 5w 40, new brake pipes whilst the body was off, body back on and guess what, thought the cross over pipe was leaking and so, body back off, it turned out to be a crack in the EGR exhaust pipe and so new egr and pipe fitted.. body back on and so far, all is well, fingers crossed 😅
👌👍And Body off on a LR4, especially a newer one, is much easier than on 17 year old rusty old LR3. 👍 🙋♀️
“We’re not going to show how to make coffee, this is not a Toyota channel” 😂👌
Well we toyota owners don't have to fix our vehicles on the side of the light trail so we can focus on brewing that perfect cup of coffee
Well said!
Well done. Excellent result, and fun times for you.
I'm a car tech from Texas.....you guys are absolutely hilarious and fun in your everyday interactions with each other. I enjoy your humor very much!
Outperforming ASPW here on the scenery front and entertainment throughout with a few mechanical gremlins. Great Work !
Great video - thankyou both
Fantastic drive. Thanks.
very impressed with Veras tenacious biking!
Thank you so much for taking us along with you on your Alps trip. Love your videos. Safe travels
Thank you so sharing your great adventure. Glad you guys are safe. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦.
you guys fix everything together 😊 one thing i noticed in all this, was ..."Look, you cut the best piece off...." 😂
Thanks for taking me on your trip.
Fantastic vlog, always entertaining. Would love to see the routes you take, scenery breathtaking, and only minor issues with the Disco after a full restoration is a win. Thank you for sharing, looking forward to next Sunday
And now I know the trip I want to take next spring. Thank you guys for the excellent footage.
Best video trip yet,you guys are a legend among Discovery owners,thank you
Such fantastic views. Reminds me of driving over the alps too many years ago. Thanks for sharing.
Another excellent video, calm and logic dealing with the problems. Really enjoyed the footage of the mountain scenery, YT channels like yourself are great for seeing other countries in a "virtual" way. Thank you.
Great video as always - thank you guys
Really enjoyed the video, thank you very much!
You guys are the best ! Can’t wait till next Sunday. Take care.
Fabulous trip with awesome scenery and amazing views.
Even better, you made it home and only had minor post-build niggles to deal with - brilliant!
God bless you, my German friends, you. Wonderful people.
Just such great content folks. Im on holiday in paradise here in Koh Samui. I still found time to watch your adventures with my favourite LR vehicle. Brilliant. Funny and so jnformative.
Nice work! That must be very rewarding.
Wonderful - love your spirit for adventure and good cheer, even when things seem to be falling apart!
This looks like a nice trip! I have been watching your channel for a few weeks right now and really want to let you know I really like it! Feels like a time well spent with Two of You. Great Job!
Holy crap, you guys have come so far since I was last here, a full rebuild.. I've got a lot of catching up to do.. Great work as always guys, all the best..
Cheers
What a fabulous trip, the scenery was incredible !
Great series guys enjoyable viewing light hearted fun presentation 👍
You're such a joyful couple. Delightful to see your LR progress and excursions in it. The air must have been so fresh up there in the swiss alps. Majestic views to wake up to.
Fantastic, very well done with surprisingly few OMGs 😄 I always enjoy your trip videos .. and this one was extra special. Sunday can now begin
Excellent video thank you.
Well done , I find it a joy addressing all the Land rover gremlins . It's always worth it . Great video !!! ... (2007 RRS 4.4 owner )
Epic journey and successful test of your rebuild Amazing thanks!
That bridge after the tunnel is what is known as a 'Bailey Bridge', named after a UK military engineer for creating a temporary bridge for military vehicles to cross rivers where the original bridge was washed out or destroyed. Today they are used for the same reasons for civilians.
Wow what beautiful panoramic views from the mountains. What a great location to visit for a engine break in run.
I enjoyed this episode, how Christian keeps his cool, I will have to get some of it.
Another excellent video Thank you!
What a great trip, makes me envious of all the history you have to see there. Over the years I lost count of the number of times I had to top up from a mountain stream. When I built my own Turbo-diesel Series 109, I didn't get the cooling right, so I had to stop frequently on trips into the mountains to let things cool. The altitude and road grades really test your vehicle. Glad you had a good trip and I hope you have nice clean oil at the end of it.
brilliant, what a trip, thanks for sharing 👍👍👍👍
Great shakedown run - ofcourse you guys were soo well prepared to resolve as much as you could with what you had. Looks like a bit of drivetrain investigation and you guys will be home free. Looks forward to the next video hopefully sorting out a few snags 👍
Excellently entertaining and fun video to watch, I love ❤️ your sense of humours, hello from Ireland ☘️
I am very happy that you finally make a video where you can actually enjoy your car and not just work on it.
I have been taking my Discovery on many trips ever since the rebuild. But we don't show them on TH-cam, because it's mostly only Philipp and me. 👍🙋♀️
Just brilliant guys interesting, compelling and most of all the humor in the face of diversity is fantastic to watch please keep it up some of the best stuff on TH-cam.
Hi Christian and Vera thanks for the video 👏
Wow that's a shake down trip indeed. Glad you got there and back😁 hopefully no chips in the oil and time to make the kitchen box. Great work guys.
Great trip, amazing mountain views.
Excellent as always 😊
Fantastic videos, great sense of humour
😂 There’s a reason they named it a discovery! Every time you drive it you’ll discover something new 😅
I have learned so much from your videos
Very very beautiful scenery!! Love seeing the Alps!! ❤❤ I love watching the Land Rover drive nicely! If always feels good to properly fix and be able to drive a well taken care of vehicle many miles / km's! Hugs to Vera and Christian!
I have been putting on 6000km ever since the rebuild and it drives like a swiss watch. Love it so much. 👍👌🙋♀️
'There And Back' guarantee, by Christian.That is some fine country side and great night stops.👍👍🙂
Great video glad you have got it driving again and had a nice trip with a few Land rover problems, that is normal 🙂
Another great Sunday morning adventure with you 2 coffee and entertainment see you next sunday .Happy Trails
I was surprised by how much the German autobahn looks like the Canning stock route.
Christian has taught me so much tackling jobs i would never have tried before. You both are top notch with landrovers
👌💪🙋♀️
Thank you for sharing the trip with us, very enjoyable, and discovering the technical problems, they were all Vera's fault, she's supposed to monitor quality control OMG.
You two are awesome! Top notch!
Thankyou you have saved me the trip from Australia,l didn't have the money to visit. Please take care of my Discovery.
Another great video,well done both.👍
You deconstruct your own B-roll ("I hope he waits for me!").
That is so original - and incredibly funny!
The spirit of that woman! Loved that fact she wanted to get on the bike.
😊🙏Happy New Year🙋♀️
Fabulous. What beautiful scenery.
The engine sounds really good.
The electrical system always lets, Land Rover down.
Never had a electrical issue. All you have to do is take care of your ground points ( and know where they are ) and don‘t let water get inside. That even goes for Toyotas.👍🙋♀️
Good that you had a great trip, after a big rebuild you do get teething troubles but you sorted them out, it was a good test of the rebuild
Well done guys amazing trip thank you 🙏 and a Chinese tool came in handy!!
Great video guys. Very enjoyable and entertaining to watch. 👍🏼❤️
Great episode, one of the best!
Amazing! Absolutely amazing! I love Landrover
👍👌💪💪😃🙋♀️
You two guys are just brilliant, I wish I had a friend like you Christian. You have so much trouble with your Discovery as I do with my VW passat 2.0 tdi sport brake .
Well done, very entertaining.
Perfect! You are two hero’s! 😊
Teething issues. Lucky you have a great technician and warranty. Loving your videos.
Well done guys 😊
Great test drive
👍 Wow. Well done!
(Especially for Vera cycling up that mountain...)
Looking forward to you figuring out if you really do have some form of lasting issue (that hasn't worked itself out during your shake-down trip).
Great vid again. Go ahead. Great landscape.
What a THRILLER:)
Regards from Poland!
