Fan/Heater Overhaul
Hi All
Thought I'd put something together to show what I've done with the Fan/Heater. Both units had some degree of corrosion, but I had no reason to believe they weren't working prior to stripping. With he fan I stripped it, checked the electrical connections, stripped and cleaned the plastic fan in soapy water with a tooth brush, checked the bearings which seemed fine. I sand blasted the housings, painted them in primer then in black and reassembled. With the Heater, similarly I stripped it down and inspected the various parts. The Heater Matrix seems ok as expected as it's protected within the housing and no signs of excessive corrosion, so I'm hoping that will be ok. I ordered and replaced the water direction control valve as I didn't want to risk finding that it leaked after 'd got the dash back in, likewise I replaced all associated hoses and clips as they were still the originals. Like the fan, I sand blasted the housings, painted in primer and black. Then after greasing the hinges etc and reassembling I refitted both units to the bulkhead Quite happy with the result, but the test will be putting water through it - Fingers Crossed.
