In this episode, we disassemble the engine of our Land Rover Discovery 4 SDV6 3.0L. We bought this car with 135000 km and a failed engine. We thought we have a snapped crankshaft as usual but this time, something else caused the engine to fail.

I could be in the middle of a coronary bypass operation and I would stop the doctor to watch a new LR Time video! 😁👍
LOL - I hope you are not the doctor. Christian
Your Land Rover probably gave you the coronary in the first place!
I would let them do the coronary surgery!
@@jimegan7193 Whereas if you had a Nistoyobishi you would’ve died of boredom…
@@Vera_and_Christian ♥️👍
Quite frankly, I believe that what I'm watching here is a pair of very classy, highly experienced engineering experts indulging in their lovey-dovey hobby (fixing broken Landy motors - surely a source of endless delight!). To total non-runners like myself (engineering-wise), this is mesmerising - and so brilliantly edited. Love it!
Thanks!
I loved the impatient thumb rolling whilst Vera was trying to remove the head bolts!😂
@adrianward1362, yes I nearly wet myself when Christian was doing that!
Yes, really funny you douche. She just had the wrong angle and simple to tell her to reposition.
12:17 Christian almost shed a tear seeing the engine block like that, I felt that. I'd feel heartbroken as well.
He wanted content, and we certainly got great content. 😅👍 It would have been boring just doing the same stuff over again, and we aquired so much experience. 🙋♀️
JLR Dealer Workshops, = Poor Amateur Jobs at Professional Prices. Well done LR Time, again.
The company's entire senior management level should watch this video and be extremely concerned, assuming they're serious about saving the brand - and their own jobs. This is that fecking bad.
If only you had a blacksmith in the family to weld that block back up Christian and Vera!!
My thought as well. Yes, someone familiar with metallurgy and metal casting.
They wouldn't still trust it. Block integrity might be compromised and it's kinda a hack job. 😃
My boss makes a dollar, i make a dime. Thats why i watch lr time on company time.
That is our philosophy here, you can surely own a Land Rover, earning a dime, if you know how to wrench. Parts are not that expensive. And remember, we alsways only look for broken ones. We never look for running Land Rovers. They are not all bad. 👌💪🙋♀️
Been watching for a while now. What a massive dose of knowledge mixed with bloody good humour!
Oh my. What a mess. Such a pity that engine was run unnecessarily. I saw a cheap D4 for sale on eBay UK last week. The description said “engine knocking, starts for loading” 😩 Once again I’m in awe of Christian’s skills. 👍
I think I saw one like that too. Price was £1500.
@@KatlegoMacyes. The headline figure may appear cheap, but when you see the damage to this engine, buying one is definitely a gamble.
Oh ... I thought that knocking was the BMW next to me
A two man job. In my household of three women and me, comments like that would have been met with the involuntary alteration of important parts of my anatomy.😬 Luckily I have been well trained over these past years. 😂
Your dedication to LR is heroic. One of the best channels on here 👌
Ford and Peugeot used to be renowned for making relatively simple, reliable engines. It seems to me that they now design and build engines that if they can fit something to make it more complicated, they just do it!
Now they are using wet timing belts (BIO) they just fit a whole new engine if the belt breaks under warranty.
Love it when you get to the oily bits 😂thanks again for another great video 👍
Sunday morning, tea, biscuits, and LR Time; Perfect! Could only be better if Christian knew more about Toyota 😂😂😂😂😂
If I really screw up my courage, I can dismantle '60s motorcycle engines and put them together again😂. Huge respect to you both for your ability and knowledge with this very complex engine! Seems like much of the work to get at the core of the engine is plumbing.
I watch Eric regularly and about spit coffee on my screen the way Christian handled the water pump.
I wish I had you as neighbours before I cut my teeth on my first disco this year. Always wanted one and after 30 years on the road. ❤
Absolutely fascinating. I want an old Range Rover Sport so bad, could possibly buy one, but maintenance (stuff going wrong/breaking) as you guys show is an absolute financial nightmare?! Every time I see a modern engine with it's mind boggling array of accessories/control systems I think back to the 60's and how simple it was to maintain basic car engines. Engine won't start? take out Swiss army knife, and it's sorted.
Love the I Do Cars references. Eric is awesome. Hope y’all have a wonderful week!
Beautiful work Christian and Vera. 👏👏🙌🤝👌
If this engine is going to be put back together, you've got to get those aluminium parts restored! They've been well and truly salted. Put out a call to Vixen surface treatments, or pop up to Sreten in Frankfurt and borrow his 🙂
They’re only down the road From Frankfurt!
Thank you once again for an excellent video Vera and Christian. So glad to hear that we are both Eric fans. I haven't been able to work out why I keep watching. Must have watched him dismantle hundreds of car engines. Me myself, not a one
He has quite a following
Vera's body weight couldn't shift 120nm of head bolt, this is why sleep and food is so important to her in great frequencies, build her up, OMG did I say that...Always look forward to your videos, thank you both.
Certainly some important reminders regarding engine servicing for Discovery owners, but I think the content that this will create is going to be fantastic, really looking forward to how things develop.
Excellent video. It is like watching a whodunit in the morning rather than on a Sunday evening.
Every time I see one of these repair videos I think of the relative simplicity of an electric motor with one moving part instead of thousands. I can't wait to replace the several thousand "precision" parts of my Disco 2 engine and transmission with an electric motor.
Unfortunately that's not quite accurate. Watch Richie Rebuilds and other EV repair channels. Certainly the electric motor is simpler, but EV's have a lot of moving parts which require lubrication, plus they have sophisticated cooling systems for the batteries, especially the high performance models, complicated battery management electronics.
@@geoffaries Yeah, they have axles. Electronics don't wear out.
Yeah electronics "wear out" have you never had to replace or repair a PCB
I have piles of old computers. All work just fine. Never had an electronic failure in a car
Have considered having the block repaired? It's often done on older/rarer blocks. If you have all the bits (possibly not!) They can be stitched and welded. But, yes, a short block from the UK is a good solution 😀
Vera , you should have a counter for how many time you say ," oh my god" OMG counter 😂😂😂😂😂❤
Fab, my favourite Sunday morning video entertainment, thanks again to you both….and take the rest of the day off!
Loved watching this disassembly video. Looking forward to you next one.
I always learn something new watching LR Time - the best engineers on youtube
As always, pleasure to see your work. 💗
Thank you for another great entertaining and instructive video ! Enjoy your Sunday !
Brilliant again and very entertaining, WELL done Vera and Christian
Loved the thumb rolling. :D
Can never get enough of your channel!!!!
I believe the right professionals could repair that block and sump.
Not one professional will ever warrant a welded block like that. 👍🙋♀️
Thank you so much, I really do love watching you two. Cracking vid.
Great video as always guys... the thumb twiddle had me creasing up 🤣
Look at that…an adjustable rod and an inspection port! I appreciate the proper care of the water pump! I enjoyed your references to Eric at I do cars!
Really enjoying the videos, you're not Amateurs.
Another great video from you both, very interesting diagnoses by Christian and yourself look forward to the next one.
Great video again. Love Sunday morning with a cuppa and your video. Sorry you can't save that block and it's going to cost you more money. Love the water pump bit 😂 Looking forward to the next installment, 👍
Gold love the attention to detail!
it is always wise taking a picture of things before you strip it down this is what we always do ,thanks for the video
ITS LR TIME😊😊😊 great video this week great engineering from Christian and great organisation from vera.great team😊😊😊
I love these videos , all kinds of good ideas to learn from
A great video see next Sunday 👍
Fascinating episode 👏👏👏☘️
Great video guys. I love all your videos. Enjoyed watching. 👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you for another great videao and Sunday morning! Sorry to hear about the block, but it will make a cool coffee table.
Good video, and humour was top notch….. 👍🏻😃
Just brilliant, thank you. Learn sooooo much :)
Good update keep it up the good work and God bless you 👍👍👍
Brilliant video as per usual. Thats a disapointment on the engine block, it puts the repairs into a different ballpark costwise.
Excellent video thank you.
Great video love the banter
I was watching another video and you video popped up I will watch the other video when yours is finished.Another masterclass, I have to wait for another week. Stay safe and good health.
😅👍🙏🙋♀️
24:00 risky thing to say when Vera is holding a metal pipe Christian! LR Time just about turned into ER time! I laughed a lot though! Hi from New Zealand and a fellow Disco 4 owner :)
Great video as always ❤ It proves regular maintenance is essential, especially for a complex,and quite delicate engine 😂 keep up the good work
Love watching you guys
Good job guys.
I’ve had a triple bypass and 4 years ago and I think 💭 I would watch after I come round 😅 love ❤️ the video 🎉💋👍🇬🇧👍
Looks like this engine decided to retire early and take a well-deserved vacation!
Watching from London, this is the best channel on KZhead. If I didn’t have a fantastic Volvo xc90 2.5T and I had a Land Rover, there is no one in the world who I would want to repair it other than you 2. Keep the videos coming, my eyes need it.
I'd like to see you guys repair the block. Old school guys would get it welded up. I wouldn't, but imagine the content 😂 best of luck guys 🎉❤
LOL loved how you trolled Eric😂
Great content, I really enjoy L.R time . I must say I miss driving my Disco 4 but I certainly do not miss the Cost of ownership. Hello from The Isle of Skye In Scotland.
Amazed at what you found. So much damage because of poor maintenance and being driven when it should have been pulled onto the tow truck. The price of these engines is very high here in the UK. Trust you can find the parts you need possibly from the UK. Maybe cheaper to come over and get the bits you need here. These engines are so complicated these days. Your patience in taking it apart and Vera making sure the parts are kept in order must make things so much better for you. Always amazed how you stay so positive. 😀👍👍
Excellent I can now get up having watched this week’s instalment of why not to buy a Landrover lol Roll on next week 😅
The best part of a Sunday morning is watching the latest video from LR-Time! Now is there a possibility of a Christian / Robin team up? Video Title: Blacksmith effortlessly welds broken cast iron engine block then hands it back over to his father to machine back to factory specs. CAN'T WAIT! 🙏
Again a great video, many thanks. In my recent experience so many garages have incompetent mechanics conducting poor work, be it owner driver or main agents, just useless and they charge at least as much as a good mechanic even if you can find that. A sad state of affairs which will only get worse the nearer we get to the all electric deadline.
Great Sunday morning viewing just so much better than watching the news on TV! There are enough drivers out there who don't care about how they drive.... You know when I had my '68 Cougar I never listened to the radio (likely because I couldn't hear above the engine) ...no because I listened to that beautiful V8! You have to listen to your car what it's saying to you. Thanks V & C have a good week! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤
👌💪🙋♀️
Another good video 👍 I don’t know how you guys do it I 😢changed my front wishbones wheel bearings back plates and inner and outer steering joints and discs and pads today I’m sat here with sore back 😂👍
At least the specifications inside the car are better than the Mall Crawler so when fix the engine you'll have a better Mall Crawler. Great video again guys, thumb twiddling 😂.
It is mindblowing the number of drivers who do not bother with regular servicing and regular oil changes , even if I don't use my car more than 3 or 4 times per year , my Berty BMW still gets new oil and filters every year.......Yes I know that this is a Landrover channel but I love my 1975 3.0s , my Berty BMW
👌💪👍🙋♀️
Been waiting for the start time. Next week 8.01.
I am so pleased that I have an old car with a simple engine in it years ago you could just go down to the breakers and buy a good engine out of almost anything for not a lot and with a bit of work make it fit.
Many thanks for the video. I wonder when you will get tired of fixing failed engines. I am looking forward to the home maintenance videos!
It's perfect for us, in our stage of life, right now. And it's so interesting. 👍🙋♀️
The Amsterdam is very high maintenance! ❤🎉
Good afternoon Vera 🤩 I watch your videos even if you both sat on a park bench and just talked about anything 🤣 What a fantastic video on how to pull down a LR engine that’s stuffed 😀 Vera hugs always as you do really make these videos come alive 🤗😘 xx
😃🙏🙋♀️
I'm joining Vera on this one , OMG ! 😂 Looks like you need a roadtrip to the UK , you'll get another engine here a lot cheaper. Best with one from a salvage yard.
Such as shame that engine was driven on. Going to be a good rebuild though LR Time 😊 🔧
Another fantastic video guys, I have seen on Facebook( as I'm from northern Ireland ) the new 2024 ford ranger v6 diesel has engine issues and even a guy said his new v6 ranger has an engine failure as it using that same discovery engine.
Yes it'S the same, but also very different. I think we have some footage explaining the differences, because everybody thinks you can put that engine into a Discovery 4, which is not possible. 👍🙋♀️
here endeth the lesson... do your bloody services! what a shame that it is going to be so much more to fix this engine, but looking forward to seeing the process. as usual, kudos to both of you, and thanks for the excellent and very watchable content.
It‘s going to be good content😅👍That is all that matters. 🙋♀️
Feeling like you should just scrap that engine and get a 5.0 litre V8 and put that in and show us your excellent skills as you always do! Love your work ❤
Sorry that it is such a mess. I am hoping that it worked out well for you in the end.
Yet another brilliant video, Christian & Vera. Quite a lot of issues and unfortunate failures. 1, Previous service & repair bodge job on a Friday afternoon 2, tow truck driver starting the engine and running it 3, Vera gets cranky when hungry I've never worked on or serviced a landrover, but I'd 100% trust Christian's opinion and ability to do engine repairs & rebuilds and consider him as a trusted authority on Landrover as a whole The level of humour, satire in this video is hilarious
My wife gets cranky when hungry too, it’s a girl thing….
I don't get cranky, rather antsy. Remember, I am not in the kitchen cooking and a warm meal is readily waiting for us. I am out in the workshop with Christian until the very last minute, and then I still have to cook. 😅👍🙋♀️
I love these people 😂 wish I had same temperament.
Coats 😮 No underfloor heating in the workshop 😉
I have an appointment every Sunday now after I watched some of your videos 😂 I don’t have a LR for now but 😂 British engine under German engineering 😂 well done u2
The shop looks great with the new bench, Nice work as usual. Would be great to see you do the supercharged 3.0 v6 petrol engine but I know that will never happen because those timing chain guides never wear out :))
As a “ I do cars fan” it’s cool to see LR time watches his channel to
too
You can weld a patch in the holes in the block and sump? Sure you can! Let Robin loose on it!
Done many times on dozer engines, as I have witnessed.
It’s chewed up inside too though…
Thank you.
Hi guys, found your channel recently and I am enjoying your content from Czech republic very much since then! I am doing almost same level of careful maintenance, but on different fragile engines - Nissan's yd25ddti that are fitted in Navaras and Pathfinders. When my engine had a bearing failure, I was extremely disappointed by Nissan (engines were already produced by Renault), but later I found out, that era of reliable, long lasting diesel engines is over across probably all brands. With the new block I switched to my own home servicing with frequent oil changes and the faith in my 19 year old reliable overland rig is slowly getting back. Hope to meet you sometimes in the western alps or maybe on Allrad expo Germany, cheers!
👌👍 That is great. Check out the very lates video from I do cars. It's about the Nissan's variable combustion engine. 🙋♀️
Oh such an overcomplicated engine that 1.5 VC is. So many unecessary baerings.. Shame that CO2 amount is the only value that matters these days. No government does not consider what ecological impact will have repairing or replacing engines that won't survive 3 yrs of service. In the comments section there was Nissan service tech reporting of 6600km failed one..that is even before breaking in. Same story with Audi's stupid variable flow on their 3.0 V6 tdi oil pumps.
When do you two get to relax with a bottle of wine and chill cheers guys loved it Vera ''be quiet let me speak''🤣🤣🤣🤣
Oh we are relaxed, enjoying the evenings sitting by the bonfire in our garden. Remember, we do that for fun. And even that rebuild is not a financial catastrophe, because that engine did not fail on us. The big money lost the original owner, not we. 👍🙋♀️
That was a very interesting video it still has not convinced me to get a D3 or D4 the amount of work you guys do is amazing i will stick to what i know and sit back and watch you guys it up see you next sunday i had my chevy suburban engine as a Christmas tree holder one year 😂😂 half way through a rebuild didn't go down to well .
😅👌👍At least it serves a purpose. 🙋♀️
Always enjoy my Sunday LR Time ‘fix’, but this one is more of a horror movie! Not only was there evidence of lots of amateur bodgery with the maintenance that had been carried out, but poor maintenance / running the engine causing the con rod to snap and then punch holes in the block is just criminal! Looking forward to seeing subsequent episodes of this one and hopefully you found a more commercially viable option for the replacement block and sum pan internals! And like numerous others, I’d love to see the original block repaired by Robin, but I recognise that this would introduce more risks and uncertainty for the future. Good luck!
It will have a happy end. 😅👍🙋♀️
@@Vera_and_Christianand we all love a happy ending, don’t we 😂
It’s such a shame to see such needless extensive damage and the catalogue of events. You win some, you lose some, as they say. I hope the second rate LR dealer technician who did such a substandard job on the timing belt is not still employed in the motor industry. He might be a subscriber and watching this. Good luck finding the parts to rebuild. Thank you both.
Nice to shout out "I Do Cars". I think a collab would be awesome
