Hi all,

I have come to the conclusion that TVR changed the location of the heater fan every week through the production life of the Vixen / Tuscan series.

Mine was originally mounted ahead of the radiator with a long (elephant's) trunk running down the (UK) driver's side in a well in the wheel arch to the heater matrix on the bulkhead. I have never liked this i) because it blanks off about 1/3 of the rad core, ii) the trunking saps most of the rather pathetic puff the fan puts out and iii) the fan gets all the rain.

I rather like the set up in that gorgous Tuscan V6 pictured at the show last weekend. How easy is it to swap the heater box to a left entry? I realise that you can't just turn it around - pipes and chassis get in the way. Assuming the swap is fairly easy are there any other pit falls to be avoided?
