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

[@corblom11]

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.

[@benwah6993]

Never correctly filled cooling system then drove it with air in the system and overheated it worse than ever. That engine is toast. That stuff he keeps referring to as smoke is actually steam 😳

[@FraserCheyne]

The engine tone changed as the cap went on the expansion tank lol that's a big hole in the gasket. Typical of rover all models and an awful lot of uk cars. Cylinder heads made from cheese

[@johnnyjohns3863]

I agree 💯. I poured some blue devil that was for power steering leaks... It fixed the power steering leak but I had to get a new power steering reservoir... Clogged it up. Which was cool with me because it was only about 15 bucks. The shop told me I needed a new rack and pinion and I believe all together it was around $1,000 maybe even 1500 dollars worth of stuff that they said they needed to fix. I bought the reservoir for like $15 and the bottle of power steering Blue devil for like 30 or $40

[@dubcoco1]

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.

[@markb3869]

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.

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...

As long as you DON'T listen to Jaguar Land Rover's Oil change intervals of 10k miles and do 5k instead, the timing chains will not loosen.. Unfortunately most of these engines are ticking timebombs to all the used car buyers after those initial Leases are done..

[@blackmagicgarage871]

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

[@Miles-wy1zr]

I heard about this. So do you recommend loosing up all the spark plugs and re torquing them when the engine cools down?

[@blackmagicgarage871]

@Miles-wy1zr just the cylinder that's affected. Sounds like more diagnostics may be in order if you aren't sure where the leak is yet.

[@UptownFights]

I've tried blue devil on 2 land rovers and 1 mustang, it only worked if they were sucking down coolant, not blowing exhaust into it. So your saying after engine is hot, because Blue Devil only turns into glass at very high temperatures, that removing sparkplug and running engine will allow it to enter leaking headgasket? Wow I'll try this if you say it will.

[@SummEr0614]

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.

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.

[@justinhobart8747]

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.

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.
