Where can I buy heater control pots?

[dnb]

There's 4 switched pots that control various heater activities in the Griff. 2 of mine are broken. Where can I get replacements from? (RS & Maplin don't seem to have anything that'll work as a replacement, although I'd love to be proved wrong!)

Also need triangle LEDs and a glovebox catch - I seem to remember RS selling these items... Is this right (The RS search doesn't work properly for me here.)

Thanks!

There is a glove box catch on ebay.

Hi dnb,

If you ask Mongoose, I am sure he will be able to help you on the 'pots'. So a search and mail him direct.

Lig.

Farnell set the pots, you have to shorten the shaft though. I will check P.no at the office. What colour LEDs are you after,got some of those kicking around.

[dnb]

I need an awkward triangular green LED, but will probably replace the yellows while I'm at it. My local Maplin now say they might be able to get the greens, but aren't sure.

Thanks for the info on the pots. I'll give Farnell a go - I'd forgotten them!

[dnb]

Farnell actually do have them, but they're well hidden. (ie not with the rest of the pots :roll: )
Part no. 919573 and cost £4 each.

Maybe BB would add this to the alternative parts list at some point when I know that they're right.

When I bought my Griff, the heating panel was completely knackered. I replaced all of my pots and LEDs with parts from Maplin. The switched pots were slightly bigger than those that came out, but I made them fit. The only thing I couldn't get hold of was the yellow triangle shaped LED (I used Green). The electrical side of the repair cost less than a fiver. I managed to get some wallnut sheets from ebay to repair the facia. The only problem is I can't get any air to blow from the right hand vent (nearest the steering wheel), anybody know if this is normal ?

[JoolzB]

If the pots you're replacing don't need the switch part of the pot then I have a couple that you're welcome to. 2 require the switch on mine and 2 don't, the 2 that do are the heater fans and the heated mirror I believe.

Joolz,

Right hand vent is supplied with fresh air only by secondary blower in the drivers wing (94 - 95 models I think). In my case there is no ducting pipe to the vent so I get nothing.

[andyh01]

It's a 94 Model. There is a pipe to the right hand vent, but it looked to me like it came from the main blower, but via the outside of the cockpit. Where should the seconday blower be located?

The secondary 'booster' blower is located inside the o/side wing,if you have one.I think BB has a good pic of this?.

Forgive me I'm new on here. What/Who is BB ?

Me too :Silly:

This is the picture I think



On Mine 96.I get cold air coming out the Drivers footwell vent and The Dash Right hand vent when using the switch under the steering wheel. When using the Swicth panel Switch I can get warm and hot air( must be seasider behind there ) out of the both dash vents/Windscreen/Footwell vent transmission tunnel side.

Sorry there was no response from me chaps, I've been sunning myself. Looks like you've got it under control now though

[stringbag]

I have a few of the triangular LEDS left. PM me and I'll send you a couple. Also see here - big discussion on it last year with a few ideas.
