A single valve can stop your Range Rover’s cabin from being toasty and warm and I have to fix mine! We also catch up with many of the things we have been up to in the workshop seeing as so many of you have been asking why there is such a gap between each of our episodes!

Ok, seems as though the x2 AskEdd is not a complete success so we’ll add a normal speed version of that section in a separate video and normal speed service will resume!! Thanks for watching and remember to ask any questions with #AskEdd
Thank You Edd 🙂
Nice music choices too – can't beat a bit of JTQ 🙂
Ed nobody owns a Range Rover that isn’t loads of trouble
Edd waving that spring around talking like he was 6 pints in… oops I had the silly thing in 1/2 speed 😅😅😅
5:02 It doesnt look like a hydraulic one…?
Slowing the ask Edd, nice experiment……don't do it gain…
No, i was wrooooonnngg
Love the new workshop format, keep them coming. I slowed the ask Edd section down to 0.75 and watched through. 👍🏼
Question if I may: I have a 1982 VW T3/T25 Aircooled – with little to no heating from the exchangers. What are my options for an electric heater (for the driver) in the winter months?
Playing double time @ 1/2 speed, kind of, works sounds like a reconstructed spy file collected by bouncing a laser off a mirror, onto a wind chime tube and gathers trough a spinning fan blade. It does work, though.
lmao I had to set the ask edd to 1x because 2x2x is a bit rough even though I do listen to many podcast type things at 4x just fine.
Top tip: After the Ask Edd section leave the play speed at 50% and Edd sounds like he’s been on the beer.
Hi Edd I actually find Ask Edd useful just ignore the people who speed through that bit, don't mess with the speed on it, to be honest I understood what was being said with the speed slowed down.
I won’t go EV I sat at services a few months ago long line of cars waiting to charge, with all stations taken up, why they weren’t driving to the next one is a mystery probably didn’t have the range, I just flew past to the fuel station and charged my tank with derv, back on my way in minutes
🇧🇷👏🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
In the industry, those yellow hose clips are called “grenade pins”. True story. The hose supplier installs them to make the assembly line process easier. Unusual to see them on service parts.
Hi from Ireland, really enjoy your videos.
Please, keep the speed as normal. That was actually rather frustrating. I (for the first time) did speed over the section. Otherwise, keep up the great content.
That's interesting shape for a tie rod end on the van, I've not ever seen one shaped like it before.
As far as full BEV's go I think the market is now completely saturated for people who have charging available to them (either a private garage or central charging stations), they've all already got an EV. The rest of us still have nowhere to charge one.. I would absolutely buy a hybrid though if there were more options. Believe it or not hybrids like the Prius are very very popular in rural America in places like Hot Springs Arkansas. You see quite a lot of those out in the country. That's what automakers should be focusing on right now, hybrids
Hey Ed, Remember when all you had to work on was an air cooled VW. No heat in the cab then either but oh well. When did life get so complicated?
Playing that section at half speed makes you sound all robotic 😀
vw diesels may raise the revs when regen-ing- certainly do on a polo bluemotion
i watch your videos always in normal speed 😀
Cowboy 🧲 Mustang 🔥
I stuck with you, Edd! 👍❤
1'05"… Isn't the collective noun for a bunch of Range Rovers "A Scrapyard"?
"… not a complete success…"? Make that an "abject failure", Master Edd 🙂
I am so glad that you are back and creating such good quality content, love every second of it, thx Edd.
The sound isn’t that good even though you slow it down. Please just play it at normal speed
Silly boy it's called an EXCREMENT of Winge WOEvers.
Sorry you make like EV's as they are interesting, BUT the public KNOW they are not worth it and they have a habit of bursting into flames and killing the occupants because the doors are electric and they cannot get out, NOT GOOD, they also don't like cold or heat or surprise surprise WATER
Thankyou Mr C. Learn so much from you. 👍👍👍
I hate that I like the sped up Ask Eddd so much. I usually skip over it but this is more consumable and I don't know why.
Well, I am going to pause and watch Hot galvanize video
Another masterclass!!! X2 ..Xn… As slow as possible, as fast as necessary!!!
Thank you Edd!!
I set it to 1/2 speed
Yeah, éso es hacer mecánica.
Saludos desde México
Hi Ed would be great to see you elvis Alan millyard build a car. Love the show
Edd the EV hate IMHO boils down to two things here in the USA. Not enough charging stations and taking way too long to "refill." A gas car/truck from empty to full of liquid fuel in what 5-min or less and you can depending on the vehicle 200/300-miles on a tank. The EV's take 3 to 5 hours to refill and get the same mileage. The colors on the ice cream truck I say three colors all in pearl metallic, a grape/purple on the lower 1/4 of the truck and an orange on the top 1/4 and a cream in the middle.
think Ill just stick to not buying a pos toyota product
Edd, you are so much better when you work on cars.
Edd at half speed reminds me of that one uncle at the family Christmas party that's had a few too many…
Great info as always. I agree, just leave the viscous fan in. I thought of doing this mod to my 1985 4D56T Pajero, but stuck with the viscous fan and have no issues. The .5kw gain over putting extra strain on the tiny alternator doesn't make much sense.
11:40 rip me. I watch all videos at double speed. 4x is very hard to follow lol.
Once upon a time, Sir Alec Issigonis thought heating inside his car designs was an extravagance that nobody deserved to have, nice to see JLR continuing the tradition… 😛
The collective noun for Range Rovers is a "bankrupt".
If you want info on anything Caterpillar, try reaching out to Squatch253 on here.
Well, the experiment was worth a shot. Glad we won't be doing that again.
I’m assuming that tracking is what is called an alignment in the US.
England is an island, what black magic did you use for those parts to come off so easily?
Why are you pushing for EV so much???
We know it’s a flop, it’s all about control, they don’t save the planet, electric is not viable and prices will sky rocket. A big no to EV
I’m loving the new format 👍
