2006 Land Rovr LR3 V8 Project (Part 6) "New Heater Core"

We tear apart the dash to replace the front heater core which turns out to be one of the most difficult things we've done so far on the LR3. We then confirm the rear heater core isn't plugged but several of the rear lines are. We are able to unplug all but one, which we find has split open. Next we move onto replacing the engine oil cooler and removing the intake manifold so we can replace the thermostat housing and the coolant line that connects under the intake manifold.

If it was me I just swap out heater core left tubes in place I bet would have been much faster job and blown out tube to make sure nothing in tube

We actually were hoping to do that, but because we purchased an aftermarket heater core, the pipes were different in a few ways, specifically how the fasten to the heater core. The depth of the original pipes were longer than the what the replacement allowed for. The way you described would definitely be the way to go if we had ordered the original Land Rover part. Also, I believe the Atlantic British heater core would have worked that way as well, it's about twice as much as what we spent on ours but definitely would have saved some time, live & learn. Thanks for the comment!
