I know someone who can help as well who has done it.......beer tokens and you never know.....

Sounds like a plan Essex boys. So Matt, as the Beds Fezzasus' heater expert, does that mean we can have a fitting day at yours - so you can advise us on what we're doing right/wrong? Oh and punch the f*%k out of the old heater boxes after we're finished removing them? G

We should make a collection of all the old heater units, stack them up and have a big VX bonfire to celebrate. ;-)

No way, I'm going to use mine to cool my house in the summer time.

[LazyDonkey]

Surely it will heat your house in the summer? It only cools in the winter

[elwill]

Good point. A sauna? Vegetable steamer? Bread maker? No no, those are all far too practical...

Oh and punch the f*%k out of the old heater boxes after we're finished removing them?

I only beat the sh!t out of the original to get it out of the car in pieces, as I'd had to partially break it already because of the fuggered fixing. I'd also got a perfect OEM spare, so I wasn't in the slightest bit sentimental about it and it probably saved an hour of frustration trying to wrestle it out of the front compartment. Plus, it made me happy. Very happy.

So you're saying when we have the Beds fitting day at yours you won't punch the sh!t out of it unless its still in the car...?

If the new one works, then I doubt anyone is going to be sentimental about the OEM units.

I won't be punching the crap out of anybody elses, in-car or out. I've counted 17 individual wounds on my right hand and only a few less on my left.

But you're still happy to host the Beds fitting day right?

If I say it often enough you'l believe it!

Ooh. Beds fitting meet! Wouldnt that be great? Go on Matt! You know you want to.

By all means. As Graeme suggested, I'm more than happy to take up an advisory role and to have a not inconsiderable chuckle when you all discover the state of your hands, once the VX has done it's best to eat them alive. I'll even supply the plasters and the cable ties.

Throw in some coffee and cake and you've got a deal!

By bleeding Techie, Im assuming that its red stuff coming out of you, not orange stuff coming out of the heater matrix?!?!

Yes, most definitely the red stuff. Fcuking car and penny pinching Lotus fitting the worlds most rust prone fixings. I'm tempted to just get it up on axle stands and SORN it for a year or two. Heater is in and all hooked up though.
