OOOerrrr, let me know how you get on with this problem, I've a feeling mine might be leaking as my dash instruments steam up even on a sunny day. Regards, Mark

I took mine to the radiator man £55 which compares badly size by size with the engine rad at £65.

He did say the repair was marginal to do successfully due to condition as it had been corroding for so long Worked well afterwards and produced heat as soon as the temp gauge moved rather than at max temp. It even demists now

Taking the heater out is fun and allows you to plug all the holes left during manufacture or last rebuild

ps Don't forget to lubricate the wiper wheelbox while you can see it
