My 1999 Ka will no longer blow hot air, only cold.
Reading around it's been suggested that replacing the heater valve might do the trick. Does that sound like a plan? Is it difficult? I'm not at all experienced with engine repairs.
Also, the car has air con. Would I need to drain the air con system to get to the heater? Read more
im having an un usual pro in that respect. but i would sugest before you purchase a new hcv that you test the old one first.
its easy to replace even for a novice but first check weather the pipes comming out of the hcv are hot or cold when engine at normal temp or just hot up to the heater control valve....

People used to bring me some weird motors to fix in the late seventies/early eighties....Daf variomatic pick-up,Bond Bug,every Reliant 3-wheeler model ever built,Ladas,FSOs and a Moskovich to name a few oddities.Trouble was once the word got round that I tackled odd and awkward vehicles there was no stopping them.
Question is,do I remember correctly that I fitted some rear flexi hoses to the Moskovich because they didn`t come with them as standard?! Read more
We have been advised the rear suspension bushes in our 52 reg 92k estate should be replaced. Haynes say bushes cannot be replaced so suspension arms should be replaced.
Anyone come across this? Read more
Thanks for that. Not into tool fabrication! Trusty,really!, service guy now explains this is item to watch not requiring immediate action and agrees bushes can be replaced with expensive tool. Main dealer who wanted to do it 4 years ago was obviously flying a kite.
