Toyota Driver here! You should turn all Christians "Why I drive LR" and "What Toyota drivers do" rants, into youtube or instagram shorts? I'd love to sent the clips to my LR buddies. They haven't got time to watch your long videos as they are too busy doing repairs😂😂. Loving the entertainment and considering buying one for the giggles😂😂

Guys, you're literally couple of videos away from convincing my better half that buying Disco4 will not ruin our lives. Keep them coming!

How many Toyota owners follow these guys. ? I admit I am a Toyota owner, but just love this channel,

Christian's sense of humor is on another level💀😹😹

Thank you for the Omaha Beach part of this week's video. My father was in the British Royal Engineers during World War 2, and he went through Arromanches on D-Day+25. He was originally scheduled to cross the Channel on D-Day+2, but that date was for some unknown reason changed to D-Day+25. If that change had not happened, I may well never have been born (1951). I visit France a lot, and when I drive back to the UK I always arrive early for the ferry and spend half an hour or so at the Belvedere on the cliffs above Arromanches beach. Sobering moments. Sobering thoughts. Keith J.

Happy anniversary to you both. You are both a ray of hope and sunshine and brilliantly funny. Many thanks from a former lr series 2 owner in Derby UK

Every enthusiast DIY mechanic needs a Vera. You're a very lucky man Christian.
I love the amount of Oh My God's too.
Love it 😂😊👍💯

Overfinch is the definition of Chelsea Tractor

It makes me feel better knowing that even Christian made the mistake with the intake foam piece blocking the sunroof drain. I made that mistake last year and figured it out after my passenger floor was getting wet when it rained.

I cannot even begin to fathom that beach landing. That D4 is 100%!

My weekly fix of Vera and Christian....I really look forward to Sundays working on Land Rovers...

[morgansteele]

Congratulations guys 25 years it's a great achievement

Overfinch indeed is a tuning company for the Land Rovers. Wonderful episode and the black grille looks great!

As a bored Toyota Land Cruiser guy, I was amazed at procedure for bedding in the newly fitted parking brake. Fantastic.
Toyota know their customers are generally bored so they know after new parking brakes they will forget to take the hand brake off a few times, this is the equivalent of your procedure, it beds them in OK.

Guys I just bought a 2012 Disco 4, SVD6 diesel SE (143000kms) from my garage owner Son In Law. He bought it from the first owners who had suffered an engine failure. He got his mechanics to do a body off inspection of all systems and install a ‘new’ engine after they had pulled it apart, checked it closely and installed new timing chains etc just to be sure. After driving it for only a day or so I fell in love with it and threw my money at him - got a great Father in Law price too 😂

What a great driving car! What an awesome interior!

I had my mind set on a Toyota Land Bruiser, and some years ago had a 2004 Nissan Patrol, neither drive as nicely as my ‘new to me’ Disco 4.

I found your channel surfing the web for everything I could learn about my Disco 4 and have been binge watching it since. You two are AWESOME ❤

Christian I wish I had your skills but when I move back to Australia in the next 6-8 weeks and start driving my Disco every day I’ll certainly be buying the maintenance manual and a good computer fault detection device, as recommended by you, and start doing more of my own preventative maintenance/ oil changes etc - even if my SIL owns a garage. My current car is a 2015 Ford Ranger 3.0 XLT, I bought new, with the same Kms and is an utter POS in comparison.

Ich Danke Ihnen Aus Australia!

As a Toyota Rav4 Driver the most technical thing I have yet done is find the bonnet ( or hood) release lever. I found it but as yet never had the occasion to have to use it. Watching you Landrover guys is fascinating to us, I think you are all a little loopy. Having said that it makes great viewing for us . There is an old English saying "there is always someone worse off than you" (Landrover Drivers) At least it is exciting, getting in to the Landrover and never being sure if you will ever get to your destination. They are very comfortable which is ideal when sitting waiting for the break down truck to arrive. I have in the past considered buy a Landrover, but when i get this urge I open my garage door and bang my head on the wall a few times and it soon passes. I hope you both keep up the good work as we Toyota drivers love it.
