#Landrover #LandroverDiscovery #LR3
In this episode, we show the final version of our DIY wich mount bracket for Vera´s Land Rover Discovery 3. We improved our self made construction with a few clever details. Anyone with basic welding skills and a angle grinder can duplicate this design for about 180 US$.
The winch is mounted completely hidden and is streel leagal in Germany.
The drawings and files are available for Patreons over our Patreon account LR Time. Alternatively, you can send Vera an email (see the about page of our chanel for the link) and request the assembly drawing and laser-cut files.
Make sure the drawing has the V02 shon in the lower right corner.
The drawings are for private use only (commercial use of my design is prohibited). Copy the design on your own risk. LR Time is not responsible for any harm to you, your souroundings or your poor Land Rover vehicle.
This is a video for enterteinment only and not a how-to instruction. Don´t come back complaing to us if you cut your Landi in half and then the pieces do not fit.
The winch we used is a
RAW MACHINE
Raw Force 1 12.0
4.4 kW 12VDC
Price of this winch in Germany including tax is 379 Euro.
Thanks for watching.

Fantastik und sehr gut!!
It's much easier to mount a winch on a Toyota by installing a trailer hitch on the front, putting the winch on a trailer hitch adapter, then just putting it on when you want to use it!
Christian, excellent design with the clutch lever. I have one suggestion, I think you should laser engrave or emboss the lever indicating if wether the clutch is engage or dis-engaged. I know the primary operators will be yourself or Vera but you never know if you might have to depend on someone else to help with winching.
How do I get these plans? I’m looking to add a hidden winch on my 2006 LR3. Great design!!!
Only just found your channel, & I love it. You are my favourite German couple ever. Love your ideas, like a mad scientist, just don’t buy a DeLorean. Lol I now look forward to Sundays.
you really are an inventive genius
I love your custom engineering solutions! And I thank you for all your DIY videos. I just replaced the rear pinion seal on my 06 LR3 and your front pinion seal replacement was very valuable. But you didn’t talk about rust making removing the propshaft so difficult. Haha. Found a YouTube tip to use a ratchet strap which I connected around a part of the frame in the front. With that tight, a couple hits with a screwdriver on the tiniest bit of exposed propshaft from behind the flange did the trick. Of course this solution came after many hours trying other ineffective methods. Thanks again! Both of you are a joy to watch.
You guys are great! Love watching. It is funny I am watching you and I live in the same town as Ronny Dahl and Christian watches him. Ronny has it easy because he has Toyota cars. Maybe you need to get a Toyota and fix things on it but put one hand behind you back or keep you eyes closed to make it the same difficulty as Land Rover. I have a Freelander 2 but it does not seem to need much fixing up.
when you winch you will rip of your rego plate
A very good job.
My second request is for LR people to explain the thinking behind a spare wheel on the bonnet for a car with unreliable engine. We need to know what LR engineers were thinking, if at all it was the engineers who decided that.
LR D HSE cool!!! watch – https://youtu.be/9NTHG4sC0j4
Do you have an only fans?
Hi Again….OK got my answer to the Toyota question ha ha…it was your rant on the LR3 against the LR4 vlog.
Keep up with the great work
Cheers
Peter
Hi Vera & Christian.
I love your videos but don't own a disco 3944 butt have that same engine in my Jag with the DPF. I watched your engine rebuild and I was gripped all the way, fantastic stuff.
Anyway – I am sure you have explained this before or there is a well known reason for the Toyota comments. If there is vlog link please can you point me in that direction… ?
Thanks for the entertaining content.
Kindest regards
Peter from Wigan UK
Great work. Ive got a problem that is being solved by the LR mechanic changing the HPFP. He has changed it twice. Its been working for 3 months and now i have the same fault engine code has come up again. P2288 – Injector pressure too high. This is the same fault i had with the prior HPFP and the mechanic LR decided to replace the HPFP but i think he has not done enough investigation. This time as well as code P2288 i have code U0073 – Control module communication bus off. ? i do not think its HPFP because the supplier says he has not recieve any returned and so it could be my CAN BUS? Any suggestions old mate? or anyone else?
Thanks for your video! Great stuff!
I would watch shorts with your thoughts on specific topics as well, as you mentioned in some comment below, Vera!
Also I, for one, would be interested in your Why-we-don’t-drive-a-Toyota-Video.
(Even though I already know the answer: nothing to fix and therefore: endless boredom and no exquisite content)
Alles Gute!
i wish somebody would donate a discovery to me LOL thanks for the video hope it will not be long before another video
Another excellent video, when does the work start on the mall-crawler? Or is that off-limits?
Another great video, we have had a powercut in sunny Scotland since Saturday morning and it came back on today so catching up with you now.
Hi Christian and Vera, Nice job but I’m just wondering why you are wanting to use a steel winch cable?
Thanks Mark
Are you running Alloy guide with steel cable?
28:32 – Yes it is and I expect nothing less from you. Vorsprung durch Christianik!
You guys are awesome, Christian that was great thinking from your part and superb parts manufacturing. Vera great recording and you are like a surgery room nurse already know the tools that Dr. Christian asked for. Thank you and stay safe.
