Every time a Disco breaks down with terrible engine issues, the dealers are now shipping them off towards the locality of Frankfurt in the hope that Vera makes Christian buy it!

You guys are amazing, me and my wife cannot even decorate together without arguing yet you two build discoveries together. Well done.

If you're in the market for a Discovery 4, then this is the video to watch. Christian and Vera give such good insight into what to look for in a used vehicle from interior accessories, reading fault codes, mechanical inspection and much more. This video (and all the others) is brilliant! I'm going to be looking at a couple of D4s this week and I will have my eyes wide open with my list of things to look out for.

This is so addictive I’m thinking of buying one, but I don’t have room for a lathe in the kitchen…..

Love it guys! Your channel is why I bought my my disco 4 about two years ago. She's a 2012 XS with a lot of extras had 117k miles now 126k. So far apart from servicing gearbox and general servicing, it's cost me for replacing the inlet manifolds which both cracked one hot day on Exmoor last summer. She came with a full Landrover service history and two prior female owners. From looking through the computer, she had done 26m in ice and snow settings before I bought her in total and zero miles in any other setting, so I knew she'd never been offroad. Well, she definately has now! We use her as a camper, with an inflatable mattress and all rear seats folded down, we put our luggage on the front seats and it is very comfortable. I look forward to Sundays and seing how to use all the tools I have had to buy to keep my Mall Crawler road and mud ready! To me, your channel is like a video version of the Haynes manual, with jokes and commentary - so thanks for all the useful information and laughter and long may you continue to inform and entertain the rest of us D3/4/Queen - addicts.

Dealer starts shaking when Vera and Christian stroll in...😂 ....my favourite duo. Brilliant as always.😊😊

Thanks for putting a smile on my face this morning, watching you both and the lovely energy between you two.
Great that Vera is onboard with your projects. I think she will have more knowledge about Land Rovers than many LD owners!!
👍👍👍😀😀

I just bought my new to me 2011 LR4 and I'm very happy with it so far. Timing chain had been done a couple hundred miles before I took ownership so I was confident in the purchase. I've been looking through a lot of youtube videos on LR4s because, well of coarse I would. Anyway, I'm super happy to have found this channel. I love you twos back and forth bantering but also can sense the passion you have behind the vehicles as well. An easy channel to subscribe too!

Ah, my favourite Sunday morning video entertainment, thanks again to you both.

[chish]

One thing is for sure: there will never be a shortage of Land Rovers for these two hilarious people to argue over .. I mean fix for us to enjoy on YT ... 👍👍

Fantastic guys! Our 2012 Disco 4 SDV6 we've owned 2 years, has just had it's 18th service and eclipsed 170k miles! We love it

[MrCamkay]

I love Vera. It’s a blessing to have a wife that loves this as much as Christian does. It means more arguments but it’s nice dor you to have her there. Lucky man!

[davidfuters]

Your drive is starting to look like a Landrover Dealership 😂😂😂

[mhassouneh]

The two of you have got to be the craziest LR couple on the planet! I salute you 👌

Hi Guys from the UK. I don’t have a D3 or 4 but do have a very much loved and very well cared for D2. I’ve only recently found your channel, but I’m really enjoying going through your back catalogue of videos. Great energy between you both and very entertaining. Looking forward to the work you’ve get planned on the new arrival. Keep up the great work. A fellow Discovery enthusiast.

In 10 years time, Darmstadt will be known all over the world as the global hub for the most reliable Land Rovers. I think I should get ahead of the game now, and start an independent LR showroom in the area.

Hello Christian and Vera, you have such a great channel. Congratulations and thank you for all your hard work and content development. I have just bought a LRD4 HSE Luxury. I rejected over 12 cars before finding what I hope is a good one. I have had the car for 2 weeks now and it comes to me with full LR Service History to 99k miles and solid MOT/TUV history with only failures reported for bad tyres. The car now has 105k miles on the clock. I look forward to following you and watching more of your content. Best regards, Neil

40:29 Christian & Vera, the only owners who sell their LR because it’s too reliable! Love the channel, only wish you guys had a LR with a 5.0 Jag V8 so I could learn more from your channel.
