Heater Matrix

Feb 12, 2004 5 Replies

Does anybody know where I can get a decent condition heater matrix for an 82 RRC? Mine gave up the ghost the other night and I really would like a heater in the car.



Would it be worth my while considering fitting aircon, and is this a doable retrofit?


For details have a look at:

(Warren). He knows many people, and he is a Yorkshireman so knows a good deal and won't rip you off. He may very well have a matrix in his large 'shedfullofreallyhandyatsomepointbits'

I was told a few hours ago that I should be classed as an 'honorary' Yorkshireman as I'm tighter than any Scot (?) 'tint true, mind. :-)

Retro-fit aircon kits may be similar to those for the Discovery, i.e., 'kin expensive and nowhere as good as the factory fit. I've looked into this a bit for our Disco and also for Grumble. In the case of the latter, I'm not going for a totally different solution (no, not just keeping the windows open) of a component based kit from many different suppliers (the setup for Grumble is based on a rooftop cooler van - meat mover type jobbie, but I'm sure that you could find something similar for the Rangie if you looked around - if you see what I mean... It's late...) Remember also that the Mini had a very (very) good aftermarket slimline aircon unit which was easily efficient enought for a Rangie or Disco - you just need the compressor

- which should be easily available from many scappies.

I'd certainly give Warren a call first, in any case, though.

...Consult the Oracle. The red pill or blue pill?

:)

I did consult him and got "Ah think ah got one of those. Let me know when you're comin' so's ah can split it from 'fan. £25"

Now I need to get up to Sheffield on a weekday. Should be doable.

Kin eck - that's almost a 'conversation' - he must like you...

Let me know if you do, I'm only 50 yards away from Warrens place.

Let me guess....

He moved his workshop to be nearer his income source? ;@)
