This video confirms that I would never want a Range Rover ! Thanks for your sacrifice!

cold ratiator hose would indicate that its not circulating, change the thermostat, The blue deveil is a sealant and may have clogged the thermostat as well as the head gasket.

Dude this purchase was not a bad investment, you paid for knowledge and content. Randy you probably helped like 1 million people 😂😂 thanks man👍🏾💯

Let's start a drinking game for every "She's not happy "😂

I've tried Blue Devil twice and didn't work either time. They wouldn't refund purchase either. I found "Steel Seal" which runs circles around Blue Devil. Steel Seal works in 15 to 20 min compared to 55 min with the blue. If the coolant is getting into the cylinder and causing smoke / steam from the exhaust, those sealers should work. The affected cylinder MUST be firing though. Its a good idea to either change all sparkplugs or at least the plugs in the affected cylinder or cylinders.

I used blue devil once on a civic. It didn't clog anything and it actually worked! Well it did for about a year so I can't complain. It ended up just doing the headmaster.

I went through the same thing, I drained all the coolant and was able to remove the thermostat , removed a few screws and it comes out, i poured it through the expansion tank and bled the system, there are 3 bleeder ports, on the expansion tank, the upper hose to the heater core and one around the throttle body, I let it run an hour with the heat full blast, i drained the coolant and put fresh coolant, when I was done with this process it ran great and didn't have any problems

It looks like it's time for an LS swap.

I think you inadvertently lowered the boiling point of the water by unpressurizing the system which is why it started to boil after the system was released of pressure. It's not locked so maybe fill it again and run it unpressurized until it seems like the air pockets are removed and the put a new bottle of Blue Devil and start over. I'd remove the thermostat first though so you know water is circulation. Maybe you can remove the thermostat from that old housing and just reinstall the old housing w/o the thermostat for now. Not sure on those if the thermostat can be removed. Worth a shot maybe.

Ive done 2 of these. You have to hollow out the Cats to stop the back pressure. Thats what blows the heads on those and jaguars.the cats seem to clogg quickly. Once that is done the engines last forever 2011 jag now has 351,000 miles. I sold both of the 2011 range rovers

Well, it looks like you and Santa took a trip to Yellowstone National Park right here in the shop! You started with a tour of the hot springs and ended with a view of Old Faithful! Thanks for the video Randy!

Thanks for the how-to and I knew it’d not go well!😊

You may have to bleed the cooling system. Radiators without a cap most of the time need pressurized when filling in order to bleed the air out of it thus avoiding air pockets. Might not be the case but just a thought. Great video love the channel!

That blue devil has the color and consistency of washer fluid. 😂

The me these are kind of like vlog videos as well. I enjoy these videos.

Sometimes it's not about the easy road.Randy your you're providing content for your viewers. Regardless if you fail at the attempt to fix it or not which may provide you with good watch time on KZfaq

That's why they say in the directions to STAY with the vehicle incase something goes wrong!!! Duntdada LOL...

Fine Ground Black Pepper: I have watched friends tip a container of fine ground Black Pepper into their Radiators when they have had overheating problems with leaky Head Gaskets or Radiator cores. A neighbour did it to her old Toyota Van and it ran fine afterwards for 2+ Years when she ended up trading it, never overheated once after putting the Pepper in. I bought a Suzuki Wagon R and it overheated on the way home, percolating the Coolant until it split the top Tank. I had the Tank repaired and filled with Coolant, overheated again, then I remembered the Pepper trick. I bought a Container of fine ground Black Pepper and tipped it into the empty Radiator, then filled it with Coolant. Started it up and ran it to operating Temperature then took it for a 20 minute drive. Problem solved! I sold that Car two years later and the new Owner has driven it problem free for the past year without an issue...

somebody put blue food coloring in the bottle with water and returned it back to the store. this happening to me one time

I always check them to be sealed AT THE STORE, I almost got taken with a jug of used motor oil! Needless to say I didn’t buy it.., went to Auto Zone! Glad I did, I jug was sealed.

I Run those k02s on my 2nd gen cummins and absolutely love them!

Randy, I've never used blue devil... Never been one to think it would work at all, but I've used the Bar’s Leaks, High Mileage Cooling System Repair. It's got like a 2 part mix, and It has definitely helped on my engine, ( 97 Nissan 200 SX, you had Randy, but mine's the 2.0 ) It's not perfect but lot better than it was... I've driven it for 2 years like that now... so I'd say it's definitely worked, well to some extent because before yeah... wasn't drivable at all. Now I just gotta keep an eye on the current level maybe every couple months needs a bit at the most. Friends of mine in the past said liquid glass was real good, but I've never tried it. I know with it you can't have any antifreeze in the engine, or it won't work I was told.

you could always do a LS or HEMI swap!!!! That engine is done!!! you may be able to crank it again but what is done is done!

Other than the head gaskets, the $7K water pump timing chain replacements every 70K miles, and the air suspension, these are great $6K cars when running right.

Great video guys, water volcano ranger danger🔥🤣👏

The struggle with keeping the rover running is real Randy. Sorry to see how this one turned out my friend 😔🎬🚘.Salute AAR & Santa workshop 🎅 😎👍. Ps Randy I have never had blue devil work for me. But I've seen the product work for others. I think someone already used that bottle 🤔.

My thought Is stuck thermostat and bad head gaskets. Due to these newer motors being aluminum I would say new motor would be the best choice for this one as she Is cooked. Good video tho man.

I would love it if you put a new motor in it and try to see if it works and also this Range Rover is great for content keep up the good work

I think a new fuel pump and a brand new used engine from J&J Wrecking would get this beauty back on the road. A good detail, new tires and brakes... yea she would be good to go.

Haven't these range rovers stumped every you tuber? Samcrac had 2, Hoovie, and others. Sam had an ex range rover mechanic come to assist in retiming the engine once the gaskets were replaced. None of them worked. There is some deep magic needed to get these things fixed. Good luck with it.

You can test blue devil by putting a torch to it and it should start hardening a little bit when the silica in it melts

It'll make a nice fire pit when all else fails, and I bet someone filled that Blue Devil bottle with washer fluid and took it back for a refund.

I think that's a wrap for that range Rover there is so much compression leak enforcing fluids probably wash the bearings out all kinds of scenarios

Love the Range Rover videos

Randy can’t stop now lol I truly think it will start , got to keep going bro lol , looking to the next video

I love the new tires on the dodge very nice 👍👍

Had this same problem with a rover several years back, auction vehicle also, went to salvage yard sold it to them, there head ache now!

It needs a fast trip to copart.

That Range Rover sure is a fine looking ride!!

That was one hot video. Fortunately, unlike Mikes video, it wasn't on fire. Personally, I'm a chronic optimist so I think it will run and straighten it's self out. That said, I wouldn't put your last dollar on it but it will make a wonderful follow up video.

Randy, send it back down the road if you’re not going to fix it properly. I have an 11 Rover HSE, the big boy, not the sport. I just went over 100k miles, my owner’s manual says that it’s time to replace the timing chain, if the timing chain breaks, it will destroy the motor, but I do have the 510hp supercharged motor.

did you remove the spark plug in the cylinder that was putting air into the cooling system like sam did?

I know I can not afford this range rover, but it would be a great LS conversion project but If I had the money I would consider buying it from you I would love to get a range rover and do a conversion of some sort, 3.5 eco boost also sounds like a great option

Old man has a good point on pulling a plug. So compression is going to push the blue devil away from the gasket.... but if you pull the plug the compression will take the lesser path of resistance allowing the blue devil to flow into the gasket leak and possibly form a bond.... removing a thermostat will also help with the air bubble issue btw... blue devils website has some interesting tips. Removing a plug being one of them... keep in mind to change the oil if coolant is making it into the crankcase after using blue devil .liquid glass can cease a motor

My Uncle Fred Jones said that the Jack Shaft position sensor is bad. He says that when you use Blue Devil it clogs that jack shaft sensor and also makes that DF106 sensor for the Mid Modulator can need blown out. Also check the oil in the Dinklebarry conductor sensor, it doesn't like Blue Devil either

think it’s over for the Rover. (although when I see Santa I do believe in miracles🙂).

Do a 3rd gen hemi swap or LS swap to the Range Rover then you’ll never have that problem again 😂😂😂

I don't think you should run that stuff with the thermostat in there. I know you explained why you didn't do it, but.....

This is a great episode for me. I have the 2010 Range Rover sport and it also has a blown head gasket issue. It actually drives great but it always say low coolant. I just bought blue devil but I think I’m going to exchange it for another product and pay a professional to install it. If I can get at least a year and a half of driving out of it that’s fine with me.

I have a 2012 ..... trust me... they have Demons!!!!! Mine had electrical issues out the wazuuuu. found out they are notorious for Water entering the Electrical block connection which is directly below the Sunroof drain tubes. I had to replace the entire wiring harness

Could that be exhaust backpressure from clogged cats? Happened to me on a 307 powered caddy.

I've got a lot of good results with regular Blue devil but I've never had great results with poor and go

sounds like a bad fuel pump too

It looks as though you chose a good 1st option. Now the fun part, digging further in.......

Did the cooling fans ever start up because I have a discovery 4 and it turned out the cooling fan motor had seized

My anxiety for Randy when he’s close to it boiling.😢

Used Blue Devil in an old Tacoma truck years ago, drove it for years after the fix, then sold it to a guy in town. Still on the road, guy said he hasn't had any issues. Truck had some starting issues with it! Some vehicles it's stated can't be fixed with this, I know the north-star engines and some other import models, maybe boxer engines, but unsure.

Heater Core my Dude

Randy those tires are awesome I've been running bfg at ko2s for the last 7 years on my jeep wrangler for the last 7 years and 17 years ago I had a set of them on my old truck and on both vehicles they're awesome in the snow rain you name it they do really well.

You have to save it! They are great vehicles if given the love! She want to run still after all that

I’d be willing to be that there was blue windshield washer fluid in that Blue Devil bottle

This really works

Nice video :) Why not diagnose it and see what are the codes ?

Hey randy get some steel seal, that stuff should work pretty good !

haha, this engine is so far gone the bluedevil wants to jump ship :)

Those are nice SUV's with junk engines. I'm surprised more people don't drop LS crate motors in them, if you just have $2k in a nice body why not.

I watched a video where they found the cylinder that was blowing the coolant back into the water jacket and removed the plug to have no compression while using the blue devil. Its a long shot with the guizer coming out while you were cranking it but who knows . If not i would pass it on to someone who wants the challenge of dropping in an engine,

The last 20 seconds was classic .

Randy is that Santa’s workshop there as well with you😮

Good luck my friend.

Hey Randy, kudos as always! Great post! Just curious, how much would a rebuilt engine cost? Or just a used one

Hot Pockets! My favorite!

Perhaps you should look in the manual how to bleed the cooling system and then start over.

Time to get a head gasket kit😮

I've got nothing good to say about that blue devil stuff plugged every water jacket on a sxs engine I had tore the engine down with pics to show how plugged it was. Had to use my hot tank an hot water pressure washer to get it all out of the engine an ended up fixing it the right way

1st u should have taken the thermostat out ..blue devil is ok but it's for mild blown gaskets ..I wish you would have done more ..been serious now that it's been cooked it may not really start again and it should be running while you cool it down with a water hose

Now That Was An Entertaining Video Randy! I Do Think That Engine Could Run Smoothly Again But You Might Have To Spend A lot To Get Her Happy Though.

That thing is probably done. I don't imagine the windshield washer fluid someone put in the blue devil bottle did much. Need to find a nice low mileage one hit hard in the rear you can buy for the motor.

Randy my wife insists on mowing the lawn. She grew up in Vegas and never had grass so she loves mowing the lawn..

Do you have to vacuum fill the cooling system on those?

Has drive several trucks and cars that I fix with it that have been on the road for several years now with no new problems overheating.

I think I can see a bleed screw in the expansion tank Maybe this cooling system needs to be bled and has a few points air in the system. If so, pour fluid / water into the expansion tank will not remove the air circulating in the system and the fluid will boil.

Does these range rovers run for a while after replacing head gaskets or it blows up soon again?

Do you need to flush the radiator & or change the hoses? I dont know 🤷🏾😅

Wow nice

Good car!!!

this is my fav vid.

It is definitely a head Gasket problem seen this before in one of my my cars

Percolating Hot Water in a Cooling System: A friend had a similar problem many years ago, turned out to be a stuck Thermostat. So he bought a new cooler Thermostat and fitted it, it was worse! Turned out he fitted it upside down. Refitted it and solved his problem. But it was percolating like a damn Cappuccino Machine before that where the Thermostat was stuck almost completely closed. !

Randy you know what they say ain't no rest for the wicked

Randy, I like you and I like your videos very much (especially the vlogs like this one), and I absolutely hate to say it, but I really feel like you wound up taking a $2,500 bath with that truck. If Blue Devil did’nt help it, and especially if it’s losing compression like you guys were wondering about (reminds me of that 4-banger Camaro you had a while back), then I think that engine is trash. And quite honestly, I suspect you’d spend more for another engine and the time and labor to pull that one out and put another one in it than what you spent on the whole truck. I think you might be better off sending it back to the auction and cut your losses. I’m so sorry that’s happening to you, because otherwise, that seems like a real nice truck.

I like your video randy ❤

That blue water is exactly that blue water, been tampered with for sure.

Try Sodium Silicate (Liquid Glass).. ive try it for and it worked..

I too bought a 2011 Range Rover Sport Non Supercharged recently with a blown head gasket. Mine has 139k on it. But I think I want to take a chance with the head gasket

Definitely either find another motor for it or rebuild it .

We need more truck content pls!!!

Thank you for this video. I hope all take this warning about these vechiles, used. Buy or lease, then walk away.

remember when range rovers were dependable, oh wait they never were
