Location: barnsley | decided to change drive plate on clutch for this one i bought a lot more friction surface to bit to so should be able to get a better bitting point now
through general driving it was excellant with other plate but decided to take out as the bitting point is more or less non existant |

Location: Guildford | Padel clutches are always hard work, not really for road use. Given that its a K series turbo would a fast road 220 turbo clutch not be a better idea? I know elise parts drill all their light weight fly's for 228mm clutches now. |

whys that mate
This is the most common source of water leaking into the car...i did alot of investigation into this a long while back and is why i still have a dry floor in my daily R115 Diesel for some 5 years now. The heater box fills with water, weather this be due to rain fall or washing your car...fine youd think as the box has a drain at the bottom... only the box is split vertically! Rover in their infinate wisdom for some reason fitted a bung to the end with a slit in it, maybe to prevent engine bay smells being drawn into the cabin. I always remove this as this causes a blockage of debury (leaves etc), causing the heater box to fill with water to the point where water overspills down through the footwell ventilation! Even without the bung fitted, water seaps by the vertical joint... so the solution is to split the box apart and seal the joining surfaces. |

I'll back our Ade up on this one Daz.
Does work a treat.
And it would have been lovely to be able to do mine with a new one, those blower assembleys really do get full of scunge.
Nice find. |

How easy it it to remove the heater blower box ?
its not too hard to remove the blower motor but youll need to remove glove box
but if your removing heater box you have to remove dashboard |
