Apparently the heater for he Woseley &= nbsp;6/90 is identical to that of the Magnette. 

Not knowing for certain at this point what the exact issue was that resul= ted in the one on the car I'm buying being disconnected, I'm going to start a= sking now what may be available out there in Magnette land for hoses, contro= l valves, heater cores and motors. 

Also does a= nyone know if there is a difference in the  heater hoses and/ or contro= l valves between Left  hand and right hand drive Magnette ?

Hello Ed,

The heater is as inaccessible as that on t= he Magnette, i.e. up behind the dash. The hoses and valve are difficult to r= each, but there is an access cover secured by self tapping screws in the bul= khead/firewall, it is however right behind the cylinder head, so still not e= asy!

=
The heater is certai= nly much the same as that on the Magnette and may actually be the same, it i= s held in place by two straps and it is possible with much effort, contortio= n and perhaps a little bad language to remove it with the dash in place. I d= id change the unit on my car in 1978, when it was my dads car and I was= very much younger and flexible.

One hose is angled and when I did the unit on my Magnette I used a&nbs= p;modern 90 degree silicone reinforced hose then joined it with a brass unio= n to the straight run with the idea of a long life.

The valves on the Smiths heaters are known to be t= roublesome in old age, the internal diaphragm can stick or perish. Replaceme= nts are available and again it may be the same as the Magnette, I'm afraid t= hat whilst I have references for many things, I don't have anything for the S= miths heaters and valves.

Thanks Jeffery:

Kyle Leatherwood who I am buying the car from told me that it was disc= onnected by the previous owner whethe got the car. 

 Kyle was not sure if it was the heater core or a h= eater hose that was the issue but he seem to think it was a hose.

Jeff= rey:
Thanks for the email. Good to hear from you.
I reco= gnize those pictures. They were taken in Delavan , Wisconsin USA five years a= go at NAMGAR' national meet. I was there with my Magnette.

After seeing the picture I realize that I am miss rem= embering the maroon car (which is the Canadian car) as being right hand driv= e.

The grey car is the one that I am= buying. 

At the time that that= picture was taken, the grey car was owned by a guy from New Mexico. He sold= it to Kyle Leatherwood of Virginia a year or two ago. I am buying it from K= yle.   

I also have a ) '57 ZB Magnette ,  '= 57 Austin Healey 100 Six both of which have undergone full body and mechanic= al restoration. I have a '58 Triumph TR 3A which is in driver condition and a= '72 Triumph Spitfire MK IV which is actually my wife's. 

The spitfire has had the body and interior restored and a rebuilt over dri= ve gearbox from a Spitfire 1500 fitted but the engine at 83,000 miles still r= uns strong and has not needed a rebuild.  
I'm having the 6/90 shipped up from Virgi= nia by a commercial car transporter in a closed trailer. I probably  wo= n't have it here until sometime the week after next.

Mike , any contact info that you have will be appreciated. I= 'm guessing that the  upgraded heater is suitable for both the Wolesle= y and the Magnette ? 
 
That is good news !

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= . 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.
=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 =20
 
=20 =20
I hope this helps and if you need anything more do get in touch.

The one thing I know that I know I need to address is the heater.=20
=20 =20
Kyle Leatherwood who I am buying the car from told me that it was disconnec= ted by the previous owner whethe got the car.=20
=20 =20
 
=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 =20
Kyle also compared. The Wolsey heater to the Magnette Heater and said the t= he heater box has the exact same detentions.=20
=20 =20

Hopefully I will only need to find the correct hoses but if it's more than = that then some suggestions on a suitable replacement will be needed .

Hello Ed,
=20 =20

I did wonder whether the grey car may be the one you are buying, I think th= e maroon Canadian one had some pictures on the internet of a rebuild, but I= can't seem to find them now, the good old EU have made Google take down a = number of older websites recently for Europe.=20
=20 =20
 
=20 =20
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= orth America.
=20 =20
 
=20 =20
Anyway, we would certainly be interested in some photo's when you get the c= ar and will be happy to help with any queries as necessary.

I recognize those pictures. They were taken in Delavan , Wisconsin USA five= years ago at NAMGAR' national meet. I was there with my Magnette.

Hi Ed:
=20 =20
Don=E2=80=99t overlook that there=E2=80=99s an upscale version of the heate= r available out of the U.K. Available also through North America firms.
=20 =20
The heater much more efficient than the original.

Apparently the heater for he Woseley  6/90 is identical to that of the= Magnette.=20
=20 =20
 
=20 =20
Not knowing for certain at this point what the exact issue was that resulte= d in the one on the car I'm buying being disconnected, I'm going to start a= sking now what may be available out there in Magnette land for hoses, contr= ol valves, heater cores and motors.=20
=20 =20

Also does anyone know if there is a difference in the  heater hoses an= d/ or control valves between Left  hand and right hand drive Magnette = ?

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= . 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.
=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 =20
 
=20 =20
I hope this helps and if you need anything more do get in touch.
