Perishing hoses, Batman!

During the EAS/Colchester disaster, one of the AA men went in search of fuses and took the panel below the steering wheel off (I did tell him there were none there, but his book said different).

The air vent on that panel is fed air via a rubber coated tube: that tube has very little rubber left on it. At some point, I'd like to get that replaced. It's bloody freezing driving the RR at night.

So, given that this tube is knackered at the end I can see, I'm presuming that the other end is too. Also, given that there is very little movement of air through the dash vents, I'm presuming that the others are in a similar condition. Do I need to take the dash off to get to all the hoses? It looks like a massive job.

Thanks!

One thing I have recently discovered is that the P38 has TWO heater blowers, one each side (RAVE doesn't make this obvious for some reason) and if one ain't working, there will be just a trickle of air coming through ANY vent. You will still hear a blower going, so may presume the problem lies elsewhere. Take your pollen filters out and shine a torch down the slot - are both blowers blowing? If not, alot of the pressure from one blower might just be getting blown back out the intake!

British automotive design at it's best! Classic!

do you have the book symbol on on the hevac? it might be your blend motors are fooked

yup, the book is there. I was going to get the EAS stable and then look at the HEVAC next.
