Hi Both! GREAT video!! i have a D4 2011 SDV6 HSE with 122, 000 miles on it.My power steering felt heavy so i checked all bushing and ball joints and all were good, tyre pressures correct so i decided to do a Power steering fluid change as in the manual it suggested that heavy steering could be fluid related. I followed your video (using a large funnel taped to the top of the reservoir, and an air line connector from the return pipe to some hosepipe into a 5 litre container) and it worked a treat! Three interesting things i noted... 1. The fluid i removed was extremely dirty (almost black) and smelled (i removed the reservoir and cleaned it with petrol too - it was not too bad but needed cleaning). 2. The pump is always pumping so as soon as i started the car it began draining the funnel of new liquid and its VERY quick in draining it - fortunately two of us were doing it and we kept filling it quickly! 3. the power steering now feels as should do! no idea why this would make such a difference - but it does. I bought my Power Steering fluid from the Main Franchised JLR dealer which they supplied as: RAVENOL SSF Cold Climate Power Steering Fluid - Landrover STC50519 which is what they use. Lovely green liquid.(£18.30 per litre including VAT). Removing the headlamp and loosening the coolant tank gave great access to the clips/hoses on the bottom of the reservoir too! Without this video i think i would not have had the confidence to do it myself AND would have had oil everywhere - fantastic team - keep up the really excellent work.

This is the second LR video I've seen in the space of a week where I curse the design of the ARB front bar. Cant get the headlight out without removing the bar. Ive done the power steering fluid change several times on my D3 and having that headlight out looks like it would make the job so much easier

You guys are awesome.
You both share a beautiful love that shines through in your videos.

[cazarilolsen]

You two are just wonderful together. Hope I find someone as you two found each other.

2014 LR4HSE LUX- Today I did a power steering flush and fill, and an engine oil and filter change! Very satisfying day, and all went well (with no OMGs) thanks to the confidence you instill in your viewers. If you see it done it is so much easier to do. Now I have Power Steering fluid up for sale for Toyota owners! Your videos are interesting, entertaining and educational!- thank you!

[richardharker]

I'm sure there are many people envious of Vera having a wonderful technician looking after her vehicle. Lovely video again showing what a perfect team you make.

[JudgieRob]

Love your content and humour, great informative videos, like that you utilise your engineering skills to manufacture bits and tools to suit the application. Keep your great videos coming

[alhit]

Another great video guys and brilliant piece of engineering at the start.. so looking forward to seeing the catch up on Fabian’s LR. Have a great week a head.
Hopefully the prices will come down here in Europe soon.
