In this episode, we begin the challenging repair of our newest addition—a 2016 Land Rover Discovery 4 with the 258 HP SDV6 Gen2 diesel engine. This beautiful car, which Vera fondly calls "Pretty Boy" but Christian calls it "Prince Charming," came to us with a failed engine at just 181,000 km. Despite the engine issue, the Discovery is in fantastic condition and fits perfectly into our Land Rover lineup, joining our Range Rover "Queen" and black Discovery 4 "Prince Mall Crawl."
The first step in tackling such a repair is removing the body from the frame to gain full access to the engine. This difficult job requires careful attention to avoid breaking components—because as we all know, Land Rover spare parts can be expensive!
The outdoor lift we use made this a challenge, as temperatures hovered around freezing, making the process even more demanding. Nevertheless, we pushed through and made great progress toward getting "Prince Charming" back on the road.
