Hello Ed,           =20
            =20
            =20
            =20
The heater is as inaccessible as that on the Magnette, i.e. up behind the d=
ash. The hoses and valve are difficult to reach, but there is an access cov=
er secured by self tapping screws in the bulkhead/firewall, it is however r=
ight behind the cylinder head, so still not easy!           =20
            =20
            =20
            =20
The heater is certainly much the same as that on the Magnette and may actua=
lly be the same, it is held in place by two straps and it is possible with =
much effort, contortion and perhaps a little bad language to remove it with=
 the dash in place. I did change the unit on my car in 1978, when it was my=
 dads car and I was very much younger and flexible.           =20
            =20
            =20
            =20
One hose is angled and when I did the unit on my Magnette I used a modern 9=
0 degree silicone reinforced hose then joined it with a brass union to the =
straight run with the idea of a long life.           =20
            =20
            =20
            =20
The valves on the Smiths heaters are known to be troublesome in old age, th=
e internal diaphragm can stick or perish. Replacements are available and ag=
ain it may be the same as the Magnette, I'm afraid that whilst I have refer=
ences for many things, I don't have anything for the Smiths heaters and val=
ves. I have seen replacement valves on e-bay. As it happen my heater is pla=
ying up & I suspect the valve, so at some point it's a job I need to do. Th=
e valve should be on the left side of the unit at the bottom right at the f=
ront, I doubt it would differ on LHD cars.           =20
            =20
            =20
            =20
Do you have a Workshop Manual for the car? these are still quite easy to fi=
nd here and if you need one I can suggest a supplier who may also have the =
Parts Manual.              =20

       =20

Kyle Leatherwood who I am buying the car from told me that it was disconnec=

                 =20
                 =20

Kyle was not sure if it was the heater core or a heater hose that was the i=
ssue but he seem to think it was a hose.                =20
                 =20
                 =20

I hope you won't mind my getting in touch, I was very interested when Jenny=
 Rider informed me about your acquisition of a Wolseley Six-Ninety and woul=
d be interested to learn more about the car in due course. I share the advi=
sers role with Bernie Peal who may also be in touch, in fact I'm sure he wi=
ll be as he has a spreadsheet of known cars. From the internet I have a cou=
ple of Six-Ninety pictures which I know are of cars in North America, but w=
hether the US or Canada is not clear, both are however LHD and I think the =
maroon one may well be Canadian. I attach these out of interest.           =

The heater is as inaccessible as that on the Magnette, i.e. up behind the d=
ash. The hoses and valve are difficult to reach, but there is an access cov=

The heater is certainly much the same as that on the Magnette and may actua=

much effort, contortion and perhaps a little bad language to remove it with=
 the dash in place. I did change the unit on my car in 1978, when it was my=

The valves on the Smiths heaters are known to be troublesome in old age, th=
e internal diaphragm can stick or perish. Replacements are available and ag=
ain it may be the same as the Magnette, I'm afraid that whilst I have refer=
ences for many things, I don't have anything for the Smiths heaters and val=
ves. I have seen replacement valves on e-bay. As it happen my heater is pla=
ying up &amp; I suspect the valve, so at some point it's a job I need to do=
. The valve should be on the left side of the unit at the bottom right at t=
he front, I doubt it would differ on LHD cars.

Kyle was not sure if it was the heater core or a heater hose that was the i=

I have just recently spent a day at the Heritage Motor Museum in Warwickshi=
re where they hold all manner of archive material and we were actually look=
ing through the 6/90 factory production records, these show that a high pro=
portion of cars were exported, most to Australia and NZ, but also a signifi=
cant number to South Africa in CKD form for local assembly, these would all=
 have been RHD, but there were also quite a few LHD models for Europe and N=

I hope you won't mind my getting in touch, I was very interested when Jenny=
 Rider informed me about your acquisition of a Wolseley Six-Ninety and woul=
d be interested to learn more about the car in due course. I share the advi=
sers role with Bernie Peal who may also be in touch, in fact I'm sure he wi=
ll be as he has a spreadsheet of known cars. From the internet I have a cou=
ple of Six-Ninety pictures which I know are of cars in North America, but w=
hether the US or Canada is not clear, both are however LHD and I think the =
maroon one may well be Canadian. I attach these out of interest.
