During the year, water has been going missing from the expansion bottle.
Last month it was time to do a bit of work and investigations.
We had the symptoms of water inside the vehicle, on the floor behind the dash, and water dripping from the hose connections to the inside heater, which are both right behind the engine and are pigs to get to :(
So we fitted a bypass loop, using a hose, connected to the two pipes that would have gone to the inside heater.
No more leaks.
So its the inside heater ? or i have read there are seals that fit onto the pipe fittings onto the insdie heater ? these can go ?
Gtting to it, means the whole dash out ?
Has anyone else done this operation ?
What parts of the dash need to come out ?
I used it with no heater last weekend ( the raining weekend )
I tell you something - the heated front windsreen works a treat :) :lol:
utter amaizement.

Just dismantling daughters old RR, (Di Di RR on here) to get the heater out, just about everything has to come out, complete dash disassembly i would think, it took me a day to get all the centre console and dash out then the heater was visible. I think a real PITA job.

Basically the wiring loom and heater matrix go into the car whilst the paint is drying, everything else has to come out to remove them again.
