Heater mods?
But can I find it????
I've searched and found an old thread by a chap called "oldfart" who put an extra vent where the ashtray goes, but I want to be able to blow warm air and cold air out of the side vents.
Anyone help?

I very much doubt if any one will remember or know about this, it's not part of the MOT , & the local plod arn't going to stop & test, but it's down to if warm air is blown on the face of the driver, it has a 'soporific' effect. (sends them to sleep).
I think it had to do more with centre vents. Still all you would have to do is fit the vent you want warm to the heater ducting, best to fit a cable on it though, so you can put it back to fresh air when you want.
If you want the PSD Boot Sticker file, it's here: Boot Sticker

QUOTE:
Photo 1 shows the new bit of trunking for the new centre vent
Photo 2 shows the dash with the centre vent fitted instead of an ashtray
Photo 3 shows where to cut the holes on your heater box ( this one is out of the car, but you don't have to remove it!)
Photo 4 shows the right hand trunking feeding warm air to the right hand dash vent
Enjoy!

Now my thoughts are, in photo 3 "Oldfart" shows where to cut a new hole for warm/cold air controlled by the temp slider. If I just connect the side vent pipes to these new holes, then I could have warm air whenever I wanted, and for cold air just slide the temp to the cold setting? I'd have to blank off the fresh air holes as well.
What do you recon?

What im more interested in is mods to the heater motor to make it turn faster for a given speed setting, ive always thought of doing this.
