Hello,
I recently bought a cheap Vauxhall Midi 1996 van. its a lovely van in good condition and low mileage, my biggest bug bear with it at the moment is that the blowers don't blow hot, the previous owner said he replaced the thermostat and bled the system but that didn't cure it.
I'm just wondering if anyone has experience of these and could provide me with some help or information as to what to look for and where to look.
I have experience of replacing thermostats and radiators in a land rover but never in a van.
Where would the thermostat be?
Is there an expansion tank for the coolant or is it a case of filling through the radiator cap?
How is it best to bleed the system - i normally fill the system and leave cap off expansion tank whilst running the engine up to temp to remove any air blocks - do i do the same with the radiator cap off?
If i have to replace the heater matrix where is it located?
Any help greatly appreciated as id like to get it sorted over the summer!
Cheers
