    Possible Heater Matrix problem?

    He told me to check the numbers under the car seat 8, 17 and by the coolant under the bonnet 31,34,42,43. All of these are fine, except under the drivers seat fuse box number 8 isnt there. As in the whole (im not sure what the word is..fuse?) isnt slotted into number 8. Now I dont know if...

    Kieronf - Nah hes a straight up guy, really helpful. He even drove nearly 3 hours to my house to fix it for free, then 3 hours back after doing 2 and a half hours work on it. He said he felt bad for selling the car and it happening a few days after. I dont know if he knows what hes done to it...

    I had a very quick look in the fuse box but didnt know which one to look at. Will give that a shot. Saint.V8 - Yeah, I saw the diagrams for it on the workshop manual. I figured if it was a loose connection or something then surely atleast ONE of them would be working, but both of them are...

    Possible Heater Matrix problem?

    I'm not sure if the fan turns? I dont hear anything and i dont feel anything coming out. Just seems dead. The display shows the lines indicating fan speed though, thats what confused me about it. The dial knob/fan was working perfectly before the bloke "fixed" it. Just no pressure coming...

    I dont know about overiding it, but if it makes it any clearer there is no difference in the blowing speed when I turn the dial fan speed control from idle to full. Absoloutely none. Where abouts in Surrey are you based Saint V8?

    I think he said he did replace new o-rings and he used a way more "reliable" bolt to hold the pipes in place. When he talks about it, he doesnt really dumb down anything so he could be talking chinese for all I know :D I try to keep up though! The whole job took him about 2 and a bit hours...

    Possible Heater Matrix problem?

    Just tried to get behind the Heater unit but the trim that goes from the storage box between the two front seats has plastic covering the screws and it seems really hard to get access to the screws without snapping the plastic. Not a clue how to get these panels off!

    Okay, the man fixed it yesterday which is all good and its no longer leaking boiling water. He said that the pipes came out because of a brass thread and that meant the hot water pipe was just loose, thus spraying boiling water out everywhere. He told me to take it for a drive to check it...

    Bloody hell, I'd cook a roast dinner if it meant getting the beast back on the road! haha. Its a 4.6 HSE with auto transmission. I live on the Surrey/Kent border. I'm really eager to learn more about the car, but I'm only 19 and my previous mechanical experience is solely based on Motorbikes!

    Possible Heater Matrix problem?

    Yeah, I figured that driving with high temps wouldnt be a good idea for a long period! I was only 5 miles or so away from home and had 3 stops in that time. I think the guy im bought it off is coming up tomorrow to fix it, so fingers crossed it should be fixed pretty soon. He said its all...
