Heater problems

(1/3) > >>

Jimbo:
SWMBO's gone away with the girls for a few days - and 'borrowed' the Disco, which means I'm using the 110 for work.

The temp gauge has never made it to the half way mark, but I assumed that where it sits (about a third across) is normal for this truck.

Anyhow - the heater's cr4p, on a long run round the top half of the M25, I had to have the blower on full, the heat setting on max - and still had two fleece tops on.........is this normal (the lack of heat, not the 2 fleeces !)

Another question - the lever for directing where the heat goes, moves up and down, but you don't get any warm/hot air from the footwell vents. What might have seized/broken/needs adjusting ?

Ta,

Jim

Pretty much  :D

I am told you can fix them but it wouldnt be a proper defender then would it :?:

Jim-Willy:
My heater is slow to warm but very hot when its up and running.  It throws the hose to the top vent all the time though.

Jimbo:
It blows quite a bit of warmish air onto the screen - but no matter where the 'direction' lever is pointing, I can't get any air (warm or cold) out of the footwell vents:

1 - Does it have footwell vents ?
2 - Where are the mixer flaps (think thats what they're called)

I assume that the direction lever connects to something by a cable - anyone know where the other end of this cable is ?

Ta,
Jim

Two cables operate the flaps on the heater matrix. One is for temperature, I think the other is for direction. Make sure the cables are adjusted correctly at the matrix end and moving the flaps to their full extent before looking at anything else.
