DISCOVERY 3 / LR3 WINDSCREEN COWLING REPLACEMENT

[@alfiedog2942]

Brilliant video thanks just replaced mine and noticed previous owner had run heavy black sealant inside the cowl/ scuttle along the entire length obviously to stop any water passing into engine bay/ air vent so I might do the same now realizing that is a potential problem if I don’t 😉😜

Thanks for the video. I just got a new one today from the dealer for $229 plus GST which is not too bad. Must have come down in price over the last year. Appreciate the video now I know exactly how to replace it. Mine had deterorated a bit but mainly it was messed up when the windscreen was replaced.

Good luck with the changeout makes the car looks 10x newer after changing it

Terrific videos!! Don't worry we all get your accent... we all watch 4x4 Action.. 😉👍

[@OUTBACKDiscovery]

Hahah thankyou Yep love a good 4wd action or (24/7) as they call it nowadays episode I much prefer the old name

Hi. I also have a 2005 model year DISCO 3 and have the same problematic blistered plastic windshield cowl. But I'm not sure if the water flowing over the windshield leaked into the car behind the swollen plastic piece. I know that the leaking water is discharged through the drain pipes.

[@OUTBACKDiscovery]

Hey alpervaci there's 3 possible ways for water to get in 1 being the windshield cowling which is more by the middle of the car 2 being the a pillar plastic clips not sealing and letting water in there , this being more by the outside foot of the front and passenger footwell depending on which sides leaking And 3 the sunroof drains which is more middle again if you have a sunroof

[@alperavci]

Hi @@OUTBACKDiscovery. I have experienced number 3 and renewed all the sunroof drain pipes from 4 corner of sunroof after a galoon of water on my front footwell 🥺 Also i watched the pillar leaking on another channel at any helpful video as yours. At all you mean it must be replaced windscreen cowling. Do not gamble with LR3 😄

[@brotherseamus165]

Hi mate, do you know if this will be the case on a l320 range rover sport? Mines same engine as yours. I have wet carpets at the front no sunroof. Same car just different body.

[@OUTBACKDiscovery]

Hey mate yeah should be similar maybe slightly different I found out the hard way that if your a pillar plastics are missing clips or the rubbers on the clips are missing it will let water in aswell

[@OUTBACKDiscovery]

So maybe start there the clips are about 15$ for a bag of 6,

[@brotherseamus165]

@@OUTBACKDiscovery thanks for the help. I will that a go.

[@OUTBACKDiscovery]

@@brotherseamus165 another thing to check is your air-conditioning drains make sure there not blocked up there 2 of them

Could I ask how you clean you engine bay? I am a bit cautious when cleaning this part, and most people where I live dont do it.

[@OUTBACKDiscovery]

Hey buddy I just wet it with a normal hose low pressure and wipe with a sponge and then hose off again and just avoid plugs where possible

[@landroverexpeditionsnamibi3040]

@@OUTBACKDiscovery thanks! Do you idle the engine or not?

[@OUTBACKDiscovery]
