Looking up from underneath and seeing a crack, LR Time never fails to deliver š¤£

I had exactly the same, mine was just newer than recall and Land Rover were having non of it. I even went to the DVSA here in the UK to highlight the danger, they too not interested. Zero concern from Land Rover on this one, glad your highlighting.

You and your lovely wife are not just the funniest people on youtube you are also the most enjoyable.Your description of countries that drive on the right hand side was the funniest thing i ever saw on youtube besides being a super mechanic/engineer you are so clever about all things land rover please never stop making the videos

I just love the way that Christian explains a situation/problem. When he is finished there is no drought or questions. Christian you should do "After Dinner Speeches" with the topic "How to make a mountain out of a molehill". You have "Desktop Mechanics" another YouTuber has "Health & Safety Police" (UK)

Excellent Duty of Care applied here, Christian.

That is definitely a recall. Once you have notified Land Rover all these vehicles need to be stopped and taken off the road. They will have huge liability here if they canāt prove an aftermarket torque problem.

Today I learned two things: 1. When something really is bad Vera says ''Oh my God....Oh my God.'' 2. In Germany, when you have a highly efficient functional vehicle lift, when working on suspension you just raise the vehicle 0.5M so you still have to get down onto your knees. Maybe it saves on electricity?

In Australia a few years ago I had one of Australia's biggest selling cars. The a/c hose leaked out all the gas right on warranty expiry (on time, the car was low klms). The dealer said they had never seen that issue before however the internet was full of discussion on the exact issue. Even a mate who worked at a dealer said it's a common problem. Never trust what the dealer says š

Brilliant video as per usual. Christian, your next project car should have the JLR 2.0 litre Ingenium diesel engine in it. There are a lot of them around, and by all accounts it will surely provide you with endless video footage for this channel, especially if you get a car where it's mounted transversely, because that appears to be related to all sorts of grief related to emissions reduction systems.

Thank you so much for this video, I have a L494 and definitely going to check this out. Ralph from South Africa šæš¦

I would love to see you pick up an XJ. I think it's one of the nicest Jags ever produced. Massively underrated. You don't see many of them on the road.

Christian, don't be too angry with people that drive RHD cars as they aren't the ones that force the vast majority of drivers to remove their primary hand from the steering wheel to change gear š

Hi Christian and Vera . Firstly I donāt own a Land Rover of any description, but , i cannot help but watch your hilarious antics on this channel, Iāve seen everything youāve posted and itās excellent. I especially like the fact that as a half German from a little town called troisdorf , near to porz and cologne , I get great pleasure from your sense of humour, exactly like my uncle Werner !! (Sadly no longer with us) please keep up the good work, and Iām hooked!!!

Another gem from LR Time ā¤ Next week on my FB feed, ādo you own a 2014-16 Range Rover?ā Land Rover may be compensating owners. We can handle your claim (sub text, weāll take 60% of your claim) š

Land Rover donāt like paying for recalls. They never admitted the oil dilution issue with diesel Ingenium engines, just gave extra free oil changes until the car was out of warranty so the car was not their problem anymoreā¦ā¦.. š

Buy the Jag, itās good to get challenged from time to time. Re: Metal fatigue. Many years ago, I worked for Hawker Siddley in Hatfield UK. My office window overlooked the water tank they used to test the hulls of the doomed Comet aircraft before they knew about metal fatigue. The windows of the plane were square shaped, the cracks happened in the corners.

Sir I have recently joined your channel. You are an online technical library. Love your videos. Lots of love and respect from Pakistan ā¤

Thailand also drives on the Left, the correct side! Good show!

Really excellent and very interesting. I think if this was taken to the dealer there is a possibility that the dealership may change the knuckles with Rand Rovers approval and raise an inspection request rather than have an official recall. Your approach was 100% correct. I'm sure now that this video has been on youtube and viewed 100,000s then Range Rover will act, they have too. Always a great show and very informative.

Wonderful, Land Rovers always deliver. I'm a desktop mechanic and I thought your idea about crack testing was overrated, until I saw the other side cracked as well, so now I'm having a moment of cognitive dissonance. lol. Best of luck getting something to happen before the end of the universe, but we must live in hope. In the meantime, I know now not to park next to a Queen in case it falls on me, so for that I am grateful. I hope you enjoyed your holiday Christian, always nice to have some time.
