having made a bunch of videos on our LR3 build I can appreciate your approach to clear concise execution as well as taking the time to get proper camera angles and all. I'm too lazy to do all that and it still takes me a long time to make a video. Kudos to all your info. So helpful to the Land Rover community.

@wafflesquare Год назад

It definitely takes four times as long to complete a task so thank you for noticing.

I have learned more from your videos than I have from all the other LR RU-vidr's combined. I have owned (and currently own) an LR3, two LR4's and a Range Rover Supercharged. With the cost of a good LR technician approaching $150/hour, your channel has been a godsend to me. Thank you so much an keep up your excellent and, dare I say, inspiring work!

Favorite comment of the day! Thank you, Craig!

Oh and what I've learned is your average person who really cares is better than most "mechanics". Even if they don't know something initially, it's their vehicle and they invest the time to do things right; and life is all about learning new things anyway.

Cooling system is definitely overlook by most people until something happens! Can't wait for the results in the next video!

@wafflesquare Год назад

I’m very interested to see if this fixes the issue.

@roamingdoggy Год назад

Wow!!! I found your video just in time. My LR 3 has very low heat coming out. Now I’m going to flush the core and probably change the heater hoses. Thank you!

@wafflesquare Год назад

You are very welcome.

@simon-mouse8739 Год назад

Great video and excellent quality production as always. I did this on mine last year but had to resort to changing the heater matrix as it was still blocked. Found it a really easy job in the end 😁

@wafflesquare Год назад

I hope it doesn’t come to that but we’ll find out soon enough. Thank you for your kind compliments.

@jsheglund Год назад

Now I feel like doing that as well on my LR4 but since it ain't broken... BTW you sound amazing on the bucket mike! And you got my "like" right at the Bulletboy reference ;o) Cheers!

Thank you Nicolas!! Nothing like a plastic bucket for some reverb!!

I've fought with brittle coolant plastic on a 2008 Nissan Pathfinder and, to a lesser extent, a 2013 Infiniti G37. The problem on the Pathfinder was pretty server, with a large component having to be replaced. It crumbled in 2013 and again in 2022. At that point, I found an aftermarket, all metal solution that cost the same as the Fischer-Price Plastic part from Nissan. I'm in process of repairing an LR4, so I hope to find durable options when stuff like this happens. Looks like you decided the OEM/LR part was the best option, so maybe I'll be stuck with those, too.

@wafflesquare Год назад

I trust Atlantic British to sell good quality parts.

@007Gofer 8 месяцев назад

Great video, watching from New Zealand. Love ur work, which pipe is the inlet or outlet as want to reverse flush to start wth to try reverse any potential particles that could be there.?

@wafflesquare 8 месяцев назад

I don’t know which way is reverse but that is a great idea.

@mjennings4094 5 месяцев назад

Hi Great video, i drive a lr3 (discovery ) for a couple of years how, i have the same problem with my heating. But i have low coolant levels pops up .when i look need top up about a quarter of it .

@wafflesquare 5 месяцев назад

Be sure to bleed the system of air with the bleeder valve located on top of the engine (connected to a small hose).

@the.Tech.Maverick Год назад

When do you think the second part will be posted? I am in the same boat and just hooked up the gap tool to see if the blend motors where adjusting correctly. They look like they are adjusting correctly so I was headed to the next part either replacing or flushing the heater core. Thanks for all you do.

@wafflesquare Год назад

Looks like the replacement hoses will arrive on February 20th so perhaps the video will be ready by the 26th.

@the.Tech.Maverick Год назад

@@wafflesquare Cool thanks!

@deanshepherd Год назад

Thanks for the excellent video. I can only get one of those pushfit connectors off. Any advice for loosening a stubborn one? Brute force doesn't seem to be working for me!

@wafflesquare Год назад

I would try PB Blaster and let it soak for a bit. If that didn’t work I would also try CLR.

@deanshepherd Год назад

@@wafflesquare I'll give it a go! Thanks. 👍

Hey Mike, I noticed you got the engine cover on. I'm looking for the cam bolts as well. I don't suppose you have a link or source for those bolts? TIA

@wafflesquare Год назад

I got mine used on eBay.

@stevensutcliffe533 Год назад

Hi Mike. Love the grille on your Lr3. Does it clip in like the original or do you have to drill and bolt it on ? Also where did you get it? Thanks …Steve

@wafflesquare Год назад

Hi Steven. It came with the vehicle so I have no information on it. It clips in on top but the bottom is loose as I demonstrated in episode one. When I fix it, I will try to find the manufacturer and post a video.

Hi. Did you make the follow up video with the final results? Did it work?

@wafflesquare 10 месяцев назад

Yes. Episode 9 is the follow up.

@mariosoto1112 10 месяцев назад

Quick question, is it possible to just replace the plastic that connects to the hoses?

@wafflesquare 10 месяцев назад

Probably. This was so easy however.

@roberthudson619 5 месяцев назад

So... Did it fix the original temperature difference problem?

@wafflesquare 5 месяцев назад

Yes. Please watch episode nine to see the difference.

@jadeplummer2964 8 месяцев назад

Do you have the bleed procedure for this vehicle?

@wafflesquare 8 месяцев назад

In episode two I use a vacuum kit to refill the coolant system. This method greatly reduces the possibility of air bubbles in the system. Nonetheless, there should be an air bleed valve at the top of the engine that looks like this: amzn.to/3MyF2qf

@jamesray3920 Год назад

Sorry to say but I had same issue no heat after I flush my system but I did replace all my holes trust me they are brittle you won't know it until you touch or disturb them , the one I haven't replaced is the one with the metal cap by throttle body , I'm waiting for someone maybe you show how to replace it 😁, my plan is to replace my heater core only and leave the tubes in fire wall undisturbed due having mine break off also , but the quickest what is keeping tubes in place off of heater core undo tubes from core pull out and stick new core in same location extremely rare that tubes off heater core bad , but on a lr3 I am not sure what in the way of getting to it , but I may. Just do a flush I got no heat and Ac issues too I live in Texas it get very hot like naveda you can only drink so much ice cold beer 😀

@wafflesquare Год назад

Very true.

Yes it did. Please watch episode 9 to see the outcome.

How did you connect the hoses to the pump??

@wafflesquare 7 месяцев назад

I bought barbed garden hose fittings at the hardware store.

@johnnyquid3350 7 месяцев назад

@@wafflesquare And those screwed onto the pump? My pump has a hose fitting and you screw the hose to it.

@rafaelsuner6670 5 месяцев назад

Hey what’s up brother! So my heater isn’t working and my HSE is overheating, I changed out water pump, Radiator and thermostat housing still overheating but doesn’t do it til after 45 mins

@wafflesquare 5 месяцев назад

Be sure to bleed the system of any air bubbles. On the very top of the engine there should be a bleeder valve on a small rubber hose.
