Really chuffed to get the car though an MOT with advisories for low brake-pads all round and an oil leak...well...it wouldn't be a Landy without an oil leak, would it?!?!
Bought a replacement for the original leaking radiator but...was from a "Gems" and mine's a yes...you've guessed it...a "Thor". Mechanic sorted a workaround by using materials at hand. Doesn't look pretty, but it's working.
BUT...during winter of 2017/18, I had no heat on drivers side. Still the same now and the weather's turning cold....and I'm getting soft...and old! After being parked up for so long, the car's also got damp carpet to the passenger footwell. Lotsa condensation on inside of windscreen the last couple of nights, so sucked up the damp with Karcher window vac and will place a small dehumidifier in car tonight.
When I warmed up the engine this afternoon, there appeared to be warm air on passenger side but, when I messed about with selecting different air outlets, now have plenty of cold air, but no heat.
Can anybody please advise a logical way of fault-finding please? I' be very grateful.
Hoping it may just be an airlock or two...
