Hi Chris, my Duster 340 had the same problem, effectively a non-working heater system. I did investigate the option of installing a non A/C heater box assembly but was advised that it would not fit as the firewalls were different. I have achieved a working heater system and posted some photos on yo...

Heater Removal

Hi guys, just a quick one, thinking about removing the heater unit behind the dash. The factory Air con was ripped out long ago and the heater i dont think has ever worked for me. How easy is it to do. I Have the big unit the long vents directly under the middle of the dash. There are also 2 hoses g...

I think the most impressive thing is the milage. How he had managed 400000+ miles whilst living in Manhattan is beyond me

had a few problems in the last couple of months, some just me being stupid, and others frustrating as hell. Had an auto electrician out last week, who worked wonders with the awful chinese turn signal switch. Managed to separate the brake lights from the turn signal switch and the turn signal works ...

cheers for all the help guys, but it turns out if been a massive idiot this entire time. The answer to all my problems was a tiny, stupid thing i never even considered, the alternator gauge wires. Hooked them up and bam, car started. Thankfully i never took the steering lock off, so it was never the...

Dave, as we discussed at the time, I had so much fun :evil: I ended up retiring the switch via a junction box and literally trying to reconfigure. Gave up and ordered OEM in the end. CHRIS READ THIS Ok, got your attention. Your new switch has a small black wire coming down from it. It wil join the ...

Cheers Pete, I managed to get the cover off easily enough but the pin won't budge. One side seems to be longer than the other and sticks out slightly

How'd you manage to get the pin out? Also, the switch you got from rock auto, don't suppose it was a standard brand switch was it? Mine seems to be wired the wrong way too.

Hi guys, fitting a new ignition switch but having a bit of trouble getting the column apart. Managed to get the bearing and snap rings off, but I'm stumped when it comes to the lock plate. I assume that is what is called, the circular, saw blade looking thing. Any tips? I saw on another forum they u...
