While in the middle of attempting to remove and replace a heater core on a 94 LWB we removed what we thought were all the retaining bolts on the blower/core unit. The casing appears to be hanging up on the lower left hand side were what looks like a rubber gasket with a plastic tube of some sort looks to be exiting the cabin through the firewall into the engine compartment. This seems like the only thing restricting our ability to remove the unit. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks. |

Go to the Rovers North bulletin board for Range Rovers, I think someone there just replaced their heater core and there are numerous posts.
Good luck,
Paul |

John,
I don't know what the problem is? You're using [email protected] right? I just emailed the other Paul with a grey market Rangie about maybe trying to put together a run on 2/23. How does that sound for Wurtsboro?

That plastic tube wouldn't happen to be the cconnection to the cooling system would it?? If so then you have to lay on top of the engine and disconnect the heater hoses from heater core.

Paul, I tried it two times. I'll try again.
The 23 is no good for me, I'll be in Chicago.

Yeah he got it out tonight. We didn't realize the top portion of the dash had to come out as well as the bottom section. Thanks to everyone for their help. From what I understand the housing can be a PITA. Is this true? It only seems like the two halves are held together by the clips. I would think that if you remove the clips the assembly opens in half. |

Yes , taking it apart is easy but putting it back together is tedious ,lining up the flaps etc. It also helps to hve someone pull up on the dash when reinstalling the heater suitcase.

There's one particular flap that prevents the halves from coming apart. It has to be all the way to one side before it'll allow the halves to come apart. There are three C clips along with tons of other clips that hold the two halves together. When reinstalling the halves, it helps to move the end of the flaps into their prospective holes...this can be tedious. What helped me is that I drilled tiny holes at the end of each flap. Then when they're all almost lined up with the holes but not quite in the holes, I used few nails to guide them through the holes. The nails will help keep the flaps from moving out of the hole while you're trying to arrange the halves for reassembly. This will make when you're in the middle of this fun yet frustrating exercise!
Make sure to check out the condition of the blower motor. It should be cleaned of loose crud if possible.
Good luck and have fun. |
