    help tracing coolant pipe from rad bottom to engine

    I take it your talking about the botom radiator hose. It would also seem that it is still in its original size and position.,hence the use of an ali sleeve joining different hoses . You will not find an OE hose and will therefore have to make up a system to fit as was previously done...

    Discovery 1 - Replacing heater fan

    If you look on ebay and see a picture of the heater unit size ,then you'll probably realise as to why you have to take out the dash. I hope the switch solves your problem.

    Discovery 1 - Replacing heater fan

    I forgot to mention the possibility of the switch being defective. If you remove it and then put a direct feed from the battery is a means of elimination. I think that £125 for a second hand complete unit is a bit steep,as also £55 for a s/hand fan .I have seen advertised new Bosche fan units...

    Discovery 1 - Replacing heater fan

    It's a dash out job unfortunately,and then the heater unit has to be split to get access to the motor.Unless of course you're replacing the complete unit,in which case it's like for like .If you go to all that trouble is it really worth putting in a second hand motor (unknown quantity),only to...

    inner wing panel

    You've still got to cut off the old battery box and head light unit and re attach them.If yours are shot would you not be better off purchasing a complete unit ?. It would work out cheaper and less messing about .

    primer

    If the only parts that are down to bare ali are on the vent panels ,then all they need is flatting back with wet and dry 600 or 800grade . Use a block as anything else has a tendency to leave a groove in the metal ie your fingers.Put a bit of liquid soap in the water as this prevents the paper...
