Hi guys...
Herb is most definatly "Herbert!" at the mo! (The name I give him when he is being bad!)
Changed the heater unit over the other day... the old motor had stopped working. After much cursing under the bonnet trying to release the bottom hose off the radiator. I could not get my hand and a screwdriver in the space provided to slacken off the clamp. Then I caught my head on the bonnet catch! So I decided to not drain the entire system. I took the carpets out and proceeded to unhook the hoses inside the car, with a specially placed washing up bowl. Then I put the heater bought at the Bristol Mini day in.
So finally got it all sorted, heater blowing and warming up nicely. Topped up the system. All running well.
That was until yesterday... driving along thinking..."Thats a funny smell, why is my foot getting wet?"
Sure enough the heater matrix is shagged!! So once again the whole thing has to come out. I have now butchered the two knackered heater units into one decent working heater. The matrix from the original and the blower from the £4 bargain one!
Fingers crossed thats all sorted now.
If anyone needs any of the shell let me know... or the switch unit etc etc.
Now just need to sort the Hazards, Main Beam Flasher, Horn etc etc out!
