I wonder how many of those Facebook hounds could achieve this level of mechanical competence.
What a daunting prospect to even start this project.
You guys are an awesome team.
Oh, they only want to sell you their aftermarket parts or promote their workshop. No real advice coming from them. 😅🙋♀️Vera
@@Vera_and_Christianthis is true 🙋🏼♂️
@@Vera_and_Christian Looks a bit different to my friends old 109" stage 1 V8 when we separated body from chassis!!!!

Yes vera❤
“Admiration” doesn’t even start to describe it! - Amazing what you both achieve 👍
Also 'amazing' what can be achieved with video editing! LOL!
An amazing effort and an amazing wife!!! Brilliant...can't wait to see engine teardown....😮
This is amazing
Best wishes to your father Christian on his 84th birthday 🎉. It’s great that he shows up now and then to help out. I’ve never seen a body off engine removal before. It looks very daunting. Cheers from Australia.
'I think the noise always happens when it's too late'. Brilliant.
A master class in body and engine removal. Well done to the three of you. It's great to see your Dad helping out.
you guys are priceless, please don't change anything about how you work together I (we) all appreciate the commitment in you filming your work and sharing with us 😊😊
Really really good work and I can't wait for the next update, thank you both Christian and OMG Vera, your channel has now become my favourite channel on TH-cam
The OMG Vera, I love that one lol
😊🙏🙋♀️Vera
You two make a great team. Excellent communication! And entertaining
Vera!! Everyone needs a Vera in their lives. 👌
Respect for attempting that outside on your drive. Best wishes
Another excellent video, very much looking forward to the diagnosis of the failure. Thank you Vera and Christian.
I'm so humbled with your craftwork, you're awesome. Watching from South Africa.
What a great team, wife, husband and dad working together efficiently.
Wow..way to go...I do all my repairs on the driveway including engine out ......but you two doing a body lift off job is altogether another level....saw your previous Land Rover engine rear build and that was fantastic...a crankshaft failure at that low a milage is crazy but for Land Rover it's quite common...I can't believe how many bloggs I've seen on crankshaft failures for this model...
That was amazing work - just love to see how you overcome challenges as they appear and just keep going. Can't wait till the next episode!
Next favourite channel to salvage rebuilds for me , and that says a lot .
Thank you for the hard work in making these videos 👍
We all need a Vera 🤗
Land Rover...Turning Pedestrians into Mechanics for nearly 80 years!
Wow! I'm exhausted just watching that...
... frankly, Amazing!
From now on oil changes will be a body off job! There were parts of this video where I could feel the stress, well done getting it all apart and no damage.
Just watched this episode and want to congratulate you both on another entertaining video, such hard work and enthusiasm to give us all another great episode in this series. Thank you both and I am really looking forward to find out what has happened this engine.
I wish I enjoyed fixing my Rover as much as this guy.
Brilliant work! Well done to you both. Such a great milestone achievement! P.S. - I love the colour. The Disco looks great in navy blue.
Once again, you go beyond amazing! I kinda suspect you do a LOT of research before tackling something as major as taking the body such a complex piece of machinery. Vera, You are his inspiration and rock and we haven't heard so many OMGs as we usually do - but they always crack me up! Thank you both, for the best car show on You Tube! Do Patreons get a free
60k kilometres and a wrecked engine, absolutely unbelievable. A very bad advert for LR. Great video.
My wife and I love watching your videos together. Keep up the good work.
"After we got the battery out we gonna go to the Doctor"......OH YES, I've been on that journey. Thank you for this lovely video.
You have both done great with your first body off project. It seemed relatively painless - either plenty of editing or it really was relatively painless. A bummer about the oil pan, but you did come up with a solution.
I am looking forward to what you do about rotating the engine. The other option if you can't rotate it is to take the heads off to see if there is something obvious, followed by the sump to view the crank & rods if you still can't turn it with the heads off. I know that would be a bugger, though they most likely have to come off anyway no matter what you find if it is an internal engine problem.
I can't wait till part 2 of this series.
It is gut to have froeline interested in mechanics
It’s free until I say snap a good maxim to use. Anyone having to do this job is having all the catches show to you great job. Well done
Some wheel dolly's would come in handy when moving the chassis about. Another great video as always.👍
You know this is going to lead to “I have to change the fuse so I guess we need to take body off because it makes it so easy”.
What a fantastic team effort!
Bloody well done.
You are doing a great job. I am a backyard mechanic from way back when it was easy to work on simple design cars. Totally in awe of your skills. Cars are now a total electronic nightmare to me but hey just up your street Christian. Keep up making the videos I have rapidly learned that I will never have the skills to do anything on my vehicles engine!
Incredible. Can’t wait to see the issue inside. Such brilliant but flawed vehicles!
Top video. Nicely explained Adam. I'd never of found the adjuster .
22.14 seconds of absolute comedy. Well done. Waiting and wanting more.
And I thought fixing farm machinery could be frustrating, they certainly give you a few challenges and work arounds, the kiss theory has well and truly been forgotten about by Land Rover , great video thanks for sharing.
A mighty undertaking! So many OMGs in one video 😂👍
Another brilliant video, I’m learning loads of information from your videos
YES! The video we all have been waiting for! :)
OMG OMG OMG OMG...!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😳😳😳😳
That was wild! Considering this was your first body-off, I'm sure you accounted for making mistakes. It seems they were mostly minor. Obviously, a service manual won't tell you specifically what to do if the engine is seized so pull off the oil pan, but you learn as you go. That whole process must have been exhausting and nerve wracking. Great job and great commentary from both of you, as always. 👍
No, nothing bad really happened. We prepped really well. The manual explains the body off procedure and it is really good. 👍🙋♀️Vera
Thanks(From Brazil) for sharing knowledge!
Guten Sonntag send Vera & Christian. That was absolutely fantastic and I didn’t want it to end 😩 👍🏻🏴
You guys are truly awesome. My girlfriend and I are considering a cross over pipe replacement (body off) because of you two. Many thanks x
👌💪🙋♀️
What a fantastic job you both are doing your an inspiration to all mall crawler owners 😊😊😊
Really great video Guys, look at all that access with the body off 🙂🙂, can’t wait till next week, thank you for all your hard work 👍🏻
it seems you like to work only in the winter time :-) impressive Job, thanks for sharing.
Landrover wanted 30,000 euro to repair it because they would have to hire a real mechanic to do the job, and you 2 make it look so easy.
Not something I would dare attempt, so respect for taking on such a big project.
A very good job supporting the gearbox nice and straight. The pump will be fine. Everyone forgets that a seized engine prevents access to the torque converter bolts.
I know nothing about Land Rovers.
Absolutely right, that is how we differ between desktop mechanics and those who actually know. 👍🙋♀️
Hello from the north,
Another great episode, almost too short, I could have watched you for hours. I find Vera's love of order remarkable, I like that. I'm already looking forward to the next part.
Best regards, Heinz.
Christian and Vera mr & mrs super people what a double act just love how you work together 👍🧢🇬🇧
I've had to go and hug my Land Cruiser after watching that ! You 2 are brilliant and should be brought in by Land Rover as designers .I would be tempted to buy one if you approved it ,even though I'm a Toyota man !! . Body off on your example is made bearable as its like new as are the bolts etc .Rusty exapmles could get near impossible to seperate body and chassis also as they get older and less in value I cant see them getting repaired sadly due to the work involved . ....
If you are going to move a lot of dead vehicles around, you may want to make or buy yourselves a towing bar.
Makes it so much easier because you can push & pull very controllably.
Always wanted to see this process. Scary as hell, but very interesting.
Admiration to you. How on earth will you remember where it all goes back? There is absolutely nothing in common with this vehicle and the original LR concept.
Run the video backwards and watch very carefully.
Not a problem at all. It's all in the prep work. And, we know that car inside out. And watching the video doesn't really help, you have to take lots of pictures every time you take something off. 😀🙋♀️Vera
Fantastic video yet again. It is a pleasure to see how your equipment and techniques are progressing with time very relatable for all us diy-ers, also wish I'd have a lift for my brick god knows it needs more and more attention as time goes on😅
Hi just watching your video in australia and it’s inspirational , I’ve owned one of these cars and had a nightmare time trying to repair and I gave up in the end . So I’m glad your having a win fixing this car , great mechanical teamwork and nice people . Good luck .
One word: ,, wow 😮 “. Great video ❤ love it.
I'm not even a LR person (I did use a Series III for work in the early 80's so getting wet while sat inside and 100kmph max put me off I guess🤔🤨 even though half shafts broke, gearstick dropped off, stuck in low range etc it always got us home though) but love watching you two! We moved on from a G Wagen to a Sprinter 4x4 for overland travel about 8yrs ago. Europe and Africa as far as Mali in the Sprinter.
Thanks. LR brings people together. Christian
That’s one complicated bit of machinery! Great progress. Very well!
when he said that if his wife was there you would’ve heard 5 omg’s i busted out last laughing!👍🏿😂 Good content, keep em coming!
The way you work together goes beyond what what words can describe, the humour and being real. Keep it up
Such brave folks, I was nervous for you just watching 🍻🇦🇺
Thank you for making such amazing videos 🙏 I love the banter and sense of humour you have with your wife😅 she's great. You're lucky to have eachother ❤
I work at JLR factory in Solihull building this cars. It’s fascinating to watch how you do it in reverse. Great content!
Congrats on this job!!! It‘s always big fun and wonder watching…
And by the way, my MY13 D4 has 220k on the clock…
All the best out of Switzerland.
You will know soon why this engine failed and why yours did not. Keep it running and think about the oil. 👍👌🙋♀️
I found that removing the radiator before lifting the body, and the front radiator support, just made it less stressful as it freed up room for the separation. Where the fluid is already lost, it only adds the time to remove the bolts holding the radiator and supports in. I haven't put my body back down, but I think it will be even more useful at that point to have the radiator/support out of the way.
You must have a LR3😀🙋♀️
You guys are great and very brave. Thanks for sharing. Hopefully my 2016 D4 engine keeps going….
A bloody good show guy’s. Well done, no question, outstanding work.
WOW! You guys kick a$$, this is going to be an awesome series!
Wow I just changed my Discovery 3 Engine Body on. It took me 3 weeks to do it. Body off looks good. I like this method! Best of luck. I am really enjoying watching.
That is great. 👍💪We have taken out the Engine on a Discovery 3 Body on also. 🙋♀️Vera
You should invest in something like a Rode Wireless Go 2 setup so that both of you can be mic'd up at all times so we can hear both of you while you work on projects. It gives you two mics and one receiver and simplifies recording two channels.
Well done once again. Informative and entertaining. Happy Birthday to your father Christian. You are a wonderful family.
You both are amazing! Congrats for such high level content. Keep going!
Great work. You seem to have solution ready for everything. It looks like some LR "disassembly line", first body off then chassis rolls to the garage for engine removal while parts are returned to shelf 😄
Really amazing guys. You two did great..!!!
I am just amazed what a talented Guy you are , where does your talent end. amazing stuff .
Started my apprenticeship when I was 16 as an automotive mechanic. I am in my mid 40s now. Worked on cars did a long spell in subsea rov now work for a dedicated Hydraulics company. Got to say a lot of companies would pay handsomely for an apprenticeaa good as Vera.
😅🙏🙋♀️Vera
Great watch, great team
I thought this was very good. I laughed all the way at your funny comments and Vera's remarks. Well done
Highly competent trouble shooter, who’s got a great sense of humour and honesty “I f$&ked up , but as a TH-camr I can hide this in the editing..” hilarious husband and wife duo. The kind of people you’d love to meet them both in a coffee shop. The accidental lr3 experts.
Awsome! I cant believe you have attempted that outside your house! you defitantly go above and beyond!
Best wishes from kent.
Great video, good time to treat the chassis to some waxoyl before the body goes back on. Looking forward to finding out what happened to the engine.
Wow Christian you are the man. Big big job . I will continue watching. Good luck. You can do it.
That’s incredible…. The effort is absolutely amazing!!!
I love 💕 watching this kind of stuff. Good luck 🤞
In awe guys. It's difficult to see how you would do this without your two post lift isn't it? Only done a body off once before, and that was on a Mercedes W186 "Adenauer": much less complex but oh for that lift. Looking for ward to next Sunday! All the best, Stuart
you all have got massive balls !!! 💪👏
Definetly a compliment for me, thanks Graeme. Christian
Another fantastic video, i look forward to your videos more than a traditional Sunday roast dinner 😊
I'm sure you've already got it out by now but even with the torque converter you can pull the engine out and leave the gearbox behind, a screw type load balancer helps lift the engine high enough to clear to frame at an angle that allows the torque converter to slide out with a trolley jack holding up the gearbox 👍 also I like to put a cable tie around the black lever on the left side of the gearboxes to hold it in neutral
It‘s all been done already. Video will be out next week👍👌Vera
Wow 👌 👏🏼 😍 👍🏻 beautiful job. I'm looking forward to next Sunday.
Great video guys, well done for taking on such a big job at home, very impressed and your a good team
As someone who ran and mended Disco 1 & 2s for friends, when they asked me what they should replace them with I said "Anything but a Disco 3 or 4."
Absolutely right, if they need someone else to fix them, then a Disco is not for them.👍🙋♀️Vera
Great to watch this and you both finding your way around getting the body off. When I lifted mine off the only thing I snagged or forgot to disconnect was the gear auto selector cable plug so I have a replacement one for that now. Thankfully you have a Vera who cleans all your parts and puts them in order for you and a great dad who still likes to put in a days work. Awesome progress. It was watching your video on Fabian's engine and also Ryan's video from outback discovery that totally convinced me not to remove the engine with the body on! I am just starting to reassemble mine with all major components being replaced as I have the access. No doubt you will be finished first so please send Vera over if you do to help me 😂👍 see you next Sunday
Oh Ryan single handedly took the engine out and put it back together. 😅Yes, our rebuild won't take as long as yours hopefully. We already ordered all the parts, and most of them are here already. 🙋♀️
@@Vera_and_Christian what parts.... come on tell me what the problem was, I won't tell anyone else 🤣🤣🤣
@@simon-mouse8739 😅That is not going to happen, sorry🙋♀
@@Vera_and_Christian 🤣🤣👍
I had a Disco 3 and loved it, and I also believe the body has to come off to change the cambelt, you could do that at the same time, but in the real world and if we couldn't do it ourselves, the Disco would be a scrapper and broken for parts, and that's a shame.
On a D3 you can change both belts body on. It’s not as bad a people say and we made many videos about it. Christian
What a fantastic job well done, so soothing to watch 👍👏
Hi Christian's Dad, Our birthdays are on the same date, even though you have more wisdom then me! So I'd like to raise my glass to you from Canada! Christian think he got smart all by himself but it's obvious to us, viewers, that you largely contributed to his way of thinking and shop education. So many thanks to you and please don't tell Christian I wrote that so he can keep thinking he's the best ;o) Haha! Cheers and keep up the good health!
He'll be happy to hear that, happy birthday. 😀🙋♀️Vera
My entire car is one "Big Fat Stop Sign"!!
