Now this is a a easy install - for other people - apparently. It took us more than 5.5 hour to get the snorkel installed as a first time job. We show you every step of the way of this litle debacle. Hope you enjoy the video.

I love the way he restarts the introduction to the video to pull down Vera's vest, to save her blushes.... and then shows it anyway! I don't know how you put up with him Vera!
The reason it takes you so long is just because you are German I.e. very precise and accurate, in other words you do it properly 😀
Also 90% of the videos on TH-cam are fakes!

Amazing how it’s much faster through the magic of editing.
Man, Christian is not just a great mechanic, He is a Master Skilled Craftsman. Truly impressive. Now I’m back on the Disco wagon AGAIN!! Lol
Christian and Vera keep doing what you are doing, love the humour and the engineering, fantastic all the best from the UK.
😊🙋♀️ Vera
Thanks for showing me the long way
The reason why you might take a little longer to do some jobs is that you do such high quality work. Carry on 'doing it your way' my friend, you do it right. It is also very good for helping other people do the same jobs.
Dave
Entertaining, as always...
you need a boron drill bit for that pillar any structural section on the disco IE door pillars sills windscreen pillars are boron steel very very hard to drill
I am always behind on the recommended times. I fitted a long range tank in the spare wheel location, it took me a whole day. The rear wheel carrier took me 2 days, so much for the expected 4 hours.
I love the way you and your wife love your LR3. Have you’ve heard the term “German engineering”? Everything is well thought out, precised, and fits and performs perfectly.
Your videos just keep getting better all the time. So educational and entertaining to watch. The emoji going across the screen when Christian was about to start drilling is exactly the facial expression I had watching, I was so anxious for you👍
You did good, don’t think nobody makes it in 2 hour. Not as nice as this one. Well don!
I know from experience that drilling the door pillar is tough. Glad it's not just me :-)
Ok, great. Powerful UK made that look so easy that I felt really bad. 😂 Christian
@@Vera_and_Christian But your cut-out in the engine bay was perfect compared to the PowerfulUK one ;-)
Hi Christian and Vera Im a number one fan from Tanzania. i love your videos I watched all your videos and I always waiting for new one every day .. engineer plus humor👍
👍😃That is so great, thank you. 🙋♀️ Vera
The differences you did it properly you didn’t Cut corners you do a nice job😁🇬🇧👍
I do not removed light and what you did , exactly less than 2 hours I did great job .and of course your video made more easy-to-use
I agree, the areo blades are just superior and worth a little extra
Completed this yesterday....in seven and a half hours!!! Thanks for the video.
That’s we I needed too. Christian
I have seen your work, Christian. A quality job takes time. It would have taken me longer. Anyone who did all that would have to have done many of them before, or is doing a poor job. Keep up the great work!
Thank you Christian for wonderful details you show on channel ..
Christian ,Vera quite obviously you guys always do a great job and always to the very best of your capabilities it really doesn’t matter how long it takes but people who brag and say it’s only taken 2 hours quite honestly then
They haven’t done a quality job its been. bodged ..
😄👍🙋♀️ Vera
I only discovered (unintended pun there) your channel a few days ago. Loving your work and German humour (the German sense of humour is no laughing matter). You have inspired to buy another disco. I last had a Discovery 2 in the late 90's.
vera's giggle is very funny great video guys, it takes you so long because you do the job properly. best wishes to you both from the UK.
Another challenging installation completed. Well done :-)
Are you always this calm or just the miracle of editing? I am glad I am not the only one that struggles with those rivet tools. You are so lucky to have a wife that is so patient, helpful and useful on fixing car stuff!
I cut out my swearing, yelling, throwing tool around and kicking the car…. It took me forever to install this. Christian
@@Vera_and_Christian Ah your in good company, when dating my wife she got really upset to hear me swearing a lot. she told my sister who said 'Was he working on his truck? He always swears when working his truck, but rarely otherwise. British Engineering......
Love your videos, and your dry sense of humour too. Hope freinds and family are safe with the bad rainfall in parts of EU and in GMB.
Cheers
Christian and Vera great video and as always entertaining ,,))))😃🇬🇧
Very good and detailed instructional video. Thank you. A snorkel is the next install I do on my Discovery 3.
Thank you. That was really so funny when you described how clean the air filter is and the reason why you’re installing the snorkel.
I’m in Australia. I have a D4, with a genuine safari snorkel. And even though I’ve done river crossings with it, and even though I have had water come over the bonnet. I don’t think that the water would have ever got close to the air inlet. There’s a high likelihood that I will never really need my snorkel either. It does give peace of mind though.
👍😃 we are kind of worried about all those sensors which do not really look watertight anymore. Also the ecu box seems to have broken clips. I try to avoid all water crossings deeper than like 30cm. Not that we have any of those around here. 🙋♀️ Vera
I installed a Safari Snorkel onto my Discovery 3. I have installed a couple of snorkels in the past on different vehicles and to be honest Christian, I did think you were kidding with the drilling effort on the A-Pillar. i was wrong, very wrong!!
Drilling the A-Pillar holes were a real pain. We had to sharpen the drill bits many, many times. We broke two drill bits. The last hole was the one that hurt the most, the drill bit broke, the drill bounced on to the A Pillar, then remaining drill bit stub stabbed the windscreen causing three cracks through both layers of glass. Fortunately an after market windscreens installed price was not too dear. I was entitled to quite a large discount through the auto-club I am in (due to the many years of membership) similar to your ADAC. The windscreen I ordered was the one with the Automatic rain sensing mount. When the chap removed the broken windscreen I could see there was absolutely no corrosion, rust or any sign of water ingress past the seals. Hopefully the installer did as good a job as the land Rover factory did with their install.
Wow and I thought I was the only one struggling with the drilling. Hope you through with it! 👍 Christian
@@Vera_and_Christian It is all done, I will send you some pictures.
I had the same problem drilling the pillar when I fitted a snorkel you hit the spot welds on the inner panel took me all day to fit mine so you done very well 👍👍
You guys are awesome.
You are doing it properly... that's why it takes so long... I'm 3.5 hours in... with a couple more to go... but its all neat and tidy with clean cuts... love your videos 😁👍🏼
😅Thank god we are not the only ones taking so long. It's all worth it, it puts a smile on my face everytime I look at my Disco. You are going to love it. 👍🙋♀️ Vera
Nothing like a Landy, great work again.
Hi Vera and Christian 👍🏻 That was really interesting 😃🏴
Very good job us always! Don't worry about what you hear worry about what you see... If you see someone do it in 2 hours then start to worry.. I don't think you going to see many people smarter than you..
Brave man! With all the salt used in roads in Ontario, Canada there is no way I'd be drilling more holes in my inner fender or A pillar.
👍You are right, we have lived in Michigan for 9 years, and cars this old did not even exist anymore 😅. But thankfully, we do not have problems with rust on any of our Land Rovers, but they do put salt on the road here too. 🙋♀️ Vera
Good team work 😁👍🏻
Absolutely brilliant - you guys crack me up - pleasure to watch 😁👍
Love your videos keep up the good work.
A tidy job well executed, the care and precision you use does you credit, another great video.
Looks great! Good job!
Hi Vera and Christian . You owe me a favour ! :-) Because of your videos I have now bought a D3 . Now as recompense I think you should buy a front hidden winch mount and winch . I need to see your awesome instructional/entertaining video on this. Thank you so much for the videos , I look forward to seeing them every Sunday XX Best regards David UK
😅👍 That was actually the plan for this summer, then we spent all our money on that Disco 4. Unless we start earning money with youtube, at least a little bit, the winch has to wait until next summer 😃👍🙋♀️ Vera
Every week I am waiting for your video. I love the way you do them. Entertaining. And German quality. Your work is always precise, and amaizingly well done.
For your information I asked to a professionnal to install my safari snorkell. He welded the braket close to the windshield instead of rivetting. Maybe to avoid the difficulties you were facing.
👍 Just imagine all the comments we would get, alone from German viewers, if we would have welded on A-pillar of our car 😳😄 But it's a great idea, as long as you don't put it on TH-cam. 😃😉🙋♀️ Vera
I've been waiting for you to install a snorkel. I find the videos very interesting and they are always quite funny. In 2 weeks were going to be driving to Italy in our new Discovery 5 R-Dynamic so it'll be fun testing it on a longer roadtrip because so far we've only done 250 miles at once but that drive will be 1,100 miles. We normally come through Germany on our way and stop in Stuttgart but because of covid were doing the entire drive without stopping except for fuel of course. Great and very entertaining video 👍
😃👍You are going to love it. Have fun on your trip, I am assuming you are traveling through the western Alps. We'll be there in August. 🙋♀️ Vera
I am so glad you shared this. I had the same problem with my A pillar. I spent a fortune on the best drill bits and nothing went through, thought I was just dumb, ended up with one rivet and then epoxied it in. Whole process took 3 months till I finally went epoxy so you did it quick !!
😃👍 We feel for you. 🙋♀️ Vera
Love your channel, brilliant, I have a mantec snorkel, it’s a lot easier to fit than the one you have, a lot less faff!!! Keep the videos coming…. J👍
Lol.. this is without doubt my favourite TH-cam channel...keep it up 👍
😊😃👍🙋♀️ Vera
I love to watch your videos so entertaining even though I`m not fitting a snorkel & a man who can take the mickey out of himself for the length of time its taking him nothing wrong with being precise Christian and nice to see you keeping him on track Vera " as usual " 😉
😄😉👍🙋♀️ Vera
Always a pleasure to watch you guys, but you have convinced me never to fit a snorkel
I have been begging him for almost 20 years, if not longer, to get a snorkel on our car. 😉🙋♀️ Vera
@@Vera_and_Christian 20years that’s a long time to wait
Have you changed your cam belt and oil pump yet that’s a good job to do
I had to make a tool to hold the engine crank while loosening the pulley nut if you ever need to make one I can give you the size and dimensions
Regards
@@lesliethompson1546 Yes we have, right after we got the Disco in 2016, unfortunately we did not film any of it. 👍🙋♀️ Vera
Well done and as always you chose the cheap, oops inexpensive version! Now we all know what the Vera replacement post looks like! As always nice work.
You took about the same time I did. Only I’d did it on my own and in the depths of winter.
I knocked out the bulkhead in the inner wing instead of cutting it.
I think I managed 4 holes in the A pillar but didn’t go as neat as a slot in the trim.
The only instructions I could find were in Russian so followed the pictures.
Yet again another informative and entertaining video.
👍😃 🙋♀️ Vera
Great video, you did well for the first time installing one, and better to do a good job than a rushed bodged job.
Now he knows better the next time, and there will be a next time. 😃👍🙋♀️ Vera
Christian I've not read the other comments to see if anyone else had noticed, but when you were struggling your drill was in reverse...!? 🤔 LOL.
Love your videos 👍
Yes, like rims spin backwards on video. Christian
Same reason wheels spin backwards on camera.😅It was going in the right direction.👌😀👍
I had initially thought that as well but at 8:33 it spins slowly to a stop in your hand....
I'm probably wrong... Lol.
I absolutely love your videos and over the past couple of years you've helped me out so much, always making me smile in my hour of need, with your excellently detailed, humours approach to the struggles of owning and working on discoverys...
My oil cooler has blown, dumping 5l of oil in my cooling system... 😯😰😳😟
Replaced, but now won't fire up... Seems more like a fuel problem than anything to do with my oil cooler replacement!? 🤔
Regards
Shaun
Preparing the Disco for Icelandic adventures perhaps 😁
Well done guys and a job well done!
It took you three times longer because like me, you are a perfectionist! If the others can do that job in two hours, then they are cutting corners and that is never good.
I'm a D2 guy myself, but playing with the idea of building out a D3. Still on the fence as I'm very dubious about the D3s engine and electricals. However, love your channel and videos and every time I watch one, it makes me want to take the leap...
Take Care Guys...
Kelvin
After watching this video, I canceled the purchase I made few minutes ago. Thank you sincerely lol!
😅👍 I also don't think we'll be adding a snorkel to our new Mall Crawler anytime soon. 🙋♀️Vera
Gründlichkeit. Well done !
Great video as always, the LR is looking superb.
Thank you for all 👏
Wie immer ein Super Video macht bitte weiter so!
😃👍🙋♀️ Vera
I'd like to see a comparison of a snorkel vs non snorkel air filter on the same dirt road. I think it would be negligible. Great video btw👍🏻
We can actually do that now, great idea. Stay tuned.😃👍🙋♀️ Vera
you both are so funny, love this channel !
Yes it takes you longer because you do it properly. De burring and painting and measure twice cut once approach. I bet if you took some of the snorkels off some D3s there would be a pile of mess behind them with oversized holes and rust and pipes not sealed. Keep up the good work guys😁👍🤿
Love your video, I wish I would have a garage like you, living in a apartment I don’t have that options. Please make a video on how we can improve fuel efficiency of vehicle.
Anther great video you guys thanks again I am looking forward to next Sunday 😎👍
😃🙋♀️ Vera
Excellent job 👍 🛠
Omg I love you guys!
Took me about 4 hours to do mine ,I only managed to get 3 rivets in to the windshield pillar as well so it’s not just you 😎🏴
😃👍🙋♀️ Vera
Well done guys great video as always👍🏻
I think l will give the snorkel a miss - plus lm not liable to drive my old LR3 into water up to the air filter inlet. If it’s just for vanity it’s seems rather a lot of work, but again you have made another entertaining video, always good to see yous both so happy. Plus l like to watch a good engineer at work.
We will also do not do any wading because there are more factors to consider than the air intake. But I wanted one for so many years I just really love the look of it. And yes, you are absolutely right, if you got a TH-cam Channel, you have to provide fun and entertaining content, maybe sometimes also filled with useful information. 😉👍🙋♀️ Vera
Great job but don’t know if I want to do that, bit worried about drilling into the pillar. Love your videos always funny
Yes, that pillar did not want to get drilled 😬. Christian
Love the Snorkel but not sure it was worth the effort. Well done guys. 👍
Hi ,we all know jobs take longer is because ur both perfectionists and do the job so well, 👍👍,would be awesome if u have the fitting of a front A bar next please to go along with ur snorkel, lol , it’s nothing to do with me buying one and waiting until an excellent fitting video comes out, wink, wink, lol , as always awesome video , thank u for sharing , did hear fitting the Mantec RAI , a top trim clip is removed and a rivnut is fitted. that looked a pain trying to drill the windscreen pillar for the rivets , must admit didn’t realise that section was made out of boran steel , was wondering would a cobalt drill bit be any good drilling that or is that what u used plse, many thanks as always , stay safe and many thanks as always producing such fantastic informative videos 👍
I have exactly the same Bosch 2 speed drill. Proper fast but I have started to use 'centre drills' at much slower RPM as they do not bend like a 4mm HSS twist drills and keep on centre better
Excellent well engineered
Love this channel .
fantastic video =), ty ty
another great video thanks , you need to do some videos on vera's freelander
😥 Yes but no one is watching those videos unfortunately. We would have loved to provide more content. 🙋♀️ Vera

Now you can do river crossings and cross German desserts.
I have a 2nd hand one I need to fit. I can't justify the price of a new one. Only real issue I have is I don't have the instructions or templates for drilling or cutting. Its nerve-racking enough hacking into a perfectly good car, but not being 100% sure on locations takes it to another level.
One more time very good
I would also like to know if you can now open the bonnet (hood) to the service position. Doesn't seem such a big price difference with a genuine safari snorkle her in the UK £192 + vat. I like the look of the genuine mantec one which you can now buy under the terrafirma brand. But it is not sealed and is only a raised air intake not for wading. Keep up the good work guys look forward to your videos each week. 👍
Cool
oh and very good video atb
Good video as always :D
Another great video
you are very thorough, so we know you are German 😁😁
but I think you must have some English ancestry because you have a self- deprecating sense of humour
I think everyone should have a 'Vera' to help 👍👍
😅👍🙋♀️ Vera
Vera is right - it hurts!!! Now I'm SURE I'm not going to fit a snorkel...
😃 Oh , I love it, I take everything back I said in the video. 👍🙋♀️
Lovely.
As a perfectionist and a German those 2 missing rivets must have been hell for you! Lovely job, so what's next, maybe a kangaroo guard as I'm sure there could be a problem with these around Frankfurt?
😅👍 You are right about that one. 🙋♀️Vera
@Christian Use a battery drill when you drill through steel you’ll find it cuts better at slower speed and learn how to sharpen drill bits or get Vera to do it. 😜😜😜
Hi, as always a great video, I have an idea for the next one, maybe you could install a 360-degree camera.
Well, he really, really wants a drone. So maybe we'll finally get one and have that one hovering around us. 😃👍🙋♀️ Vera
What kind of nutcase would design that template/bracket so you need to drill a hole next to a spot-weld?
That experience should be important information for anybody attempting to fit a snorkel; look at where the holes in any templates are positioned BEFORE starting to drill and simply ignore any that want you to drill in stupid places.
Always love to see you working on your Disco'.
It's easy to see that you really know your stuff and people would do well to look at how YOU do things rather than copying some of the better-known TH-cam DIYers.
😊👍🙋♀️ Vera
I don’t mind watching it slower! :D
Nice video. I would have left the templates in place while drilling holes just in case I slipped with the drill.
Sikaflex 552 would bond and seal the bracket to the A-pillar and the flanges of the fitment on the inner wing. You wouldn't need the rivets on the fitment on the inner wing or even the A-pillar bracket.
Pity the nuts and bolts holding the snorkel to the A-pillar are bright instead of being blacked.
Why does the inlet of the snorkel face forward rather then down or even to the rear?
This picture was taken just right after the install. Have a look at this video.th-cam.com/video/HhMsKMXfsTk/w-d-xo.html🙋♀️
There is a stainless steel insert in that window post. I found out when I fitted my snorkel.
Hi LR Time. Very nice video...again.
Question on the Bravo snorkel: would you think it is really waterproof enough for a serious river crossing?
I used a hole saw to inlarge the intake hole..
👍🙋♀️
I love that as proper Germans you clean everything making evey job so neat and tidy not seen that much from so called pro workshops ;) ...and you take your time cos I have noticed you just like tinkering with that Disco so much ;) Much better than sitting n ones ass watching bullshit on TV right?!
😅👍 But we do that a lot too. Got to support other TH-camrs. 😃🙋♀️ Vera
Vera and Christian should be the voiceover for an online haynes manual guide.
That way when we sacrifice skin and blood to the landrover gods we'd be too busy laughing to swear.
😅😃👍🙋♀️ Vera
