Criminally underrated video. Really wonderful and thorough explanation of the car. I think with your sense of humour you could make your own great repair tutorials. Keep it up!

Were neighbours! Another masterpiece may I say. It felt like I was being chauffer driven through the beautiful mountainess village's of beautiful Germany in my own car. I use Mandy every day. I teach freelance English here in The Czech republic, so a lot of driving and all you listed is totally true and has been repaired or maybe fixed including a new air pump. The first one failed after a year. The new one is a Bosch. I'm sure you will be pleased to hear. So the German one should be far better than the Chinese hair dryer. I must confess that I couldn't possibly do what you do. I wouldn't know where to start. I use a Czech mechanic who I visit every year. My Mandy 3k automatic LR3 full leather. still use the old satnav. missing the toe bar and some tools. Buckingham blue and almost as old as I am. You and Vera are simply genius. Thank you.

I bought the LR3 knowing I could do the work, one of the easiest cars I have worked on. Great accurate video!

Nice to see someone not slagging Land rovers and just getting on with repairing it great video.

First of all congratulations for the video. A few years ago I had a Discovery 2 V8. It was a dream to have one here in Brazil. I took many scares with the electrical part and few with the mechanics. But I miss Disco2. Here in Brazil, there are many Youtubers, who say they specialize in automotive matters, they have never owned a Land Rover in their lives but they criticize, speak badly and badly say Discovery 3, Range Rovers and Freelanders. Disco3 being the critical champion! They don't understand the Land Rover "legend". Ok, here too the prices at the dealerships make anyone bankrupt, but we can find parts via the Internet easily. You have to know how to dig! Finally, your video made me rekindle the old passion for Disco3. I'm already dating several in the classifieds on the web. I've had Cherokee, Explorer, Dakota (all V8), Subaru, but Discovery has no equal. A big hug and thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the trip! I felt I was in your Land Rover all this time. I Own a Disco One and a 2005 Gasoline Discovery 3 or LR3 here in the USA. Thanks again from El Paso, Texas USA.

16:44 still watching. Very good video and easy to watch. Watching with the sound off in bed late at night - you explain well and it is enjoyable :)

[alexconfidence]

The good thing I like is how your wife is very involved in the repairs and remembers the changes. Nice video.

[jamesb]

Great video...well done! I appreciate how you put work into your vehicle to keep it going instead of just selling it and buying something else. People don’t understand how just simple maintenance can extend the life of a vehicle. I love the LR3 and have always wanted one. I can’t break away from my Land Cruiser though. I’ll just continue to admire them from afar.

A very complete list of things that can go wrong and refreshing to hear that you enjoy and look forward to the next repair.

Great video. I have driven my 2007LR3 2.7D since 2009. Bought it with 34k km on the clock. Just passed 342k km. It needs maintenance, budget 1200 euros per year and ur fine. Otherwise it's a brilliant all round go anywhere vehicle. Super capable. Keep the vids coming.

[MTeague]

Brilliant video, I am a Disco 2 owner because I feared the Disco 3. You've taken that fear away through the straightforward way you have described the typical problems. Prima!!

[Paul-ifjq]

A true appreciation of the Car and its faults! Fantastic video, I hope you have many more happy miles.

[landroverlover]

Can I just say that you have a great taste in music

[manjit]

Well deserved recognition for your channel - great team work and excellent mix of travel, LR time and projects.

[simoncuthbert]

Thoroughly enjoyed watching your video, very entertaining, thank you. I was constantly finding myself nodding my head and laughing in agreement with your comments!! :-)
I have a very similar UK spec 2006 manual Discovery now with 150k miles on the clock and have had many of the problems mentioned in the 10 years we have owned it (bought in 2010 with 56k). Like you, despite the issues we also still love our Disco 3 and are reluctant to part with it. It is an amazing and capable all purpose vehicle but just needs regular maintenance and attention (and perhaps a second car to use when it breaks down)!
Keep posting please, you are an inspiration to us sometimes beleaguered Discovery owners!!

I’m so glad that at last there are some people shows the disco3 the respect that it earns. I have a 2007 at 250.000km on clock. I’m in love with mine. I’m an ınterior architect & designer, i know what this car means and how it’s designed. Everybody must be proud of their Discovery 3-4. At last the days of the respect on Disco 3 has begun. A little of people had understand the capabilities of this vehicle.
Very great video, thanks for all the information that you’ve given. King regards

Once you have had a good experience when owning a Landy you will always be in love with the brand. I currently have a 1992 Defender and a 2012 Disco 4 and both have their own personality. I love them and same as you, I realise that regular preventative maintenance is the secret to happy Land Rovering, old and newer models alike. Where we live is a dry part of Australia so rust is not a problem either, both my cars are rust free. I wish you many more years of happy Land Rover ownership.
PS. Try a Disco 4 next car, all those D3 problems have been resolved

Just watching this video and thinking I know this voice. See your face in the workshop. Hey Christian. Good to see you. Such a small world. Good to see you driving around the Odenwald. Thought of buying a LR4 a lot of times but we still keep our old and very reliable Landcruiser 105. Greetings from Perth.
