<div class="">Hi Ed:</div>
<div class="">Don’t overlook that there’s an upscale version of the heater available out
of the U.K. Available also through North America firms.</div>
<div class="">The heater much more efficient than the original.</div>

<div class="">Apparently the heater for he Woseley 6/90 is identical to that of the
Magnette. </div>

<div class="">Not knowing for certain at this point what the exact issue was that
resulted in the one on the car I'm buying being disconnected, I'm going to start
asking now what may be available out there in Magnette land for hoses, control
valves, heater cores and motors. </div>

<div dir="ltr" class="">The heater is as inaccessible as that on the Magnette, i.e. up
behind the dash. The hoses and valve are difficult to reach, but there is an
access cover secured by self tapping screws in the bulkhead/firewall, it is
however right behind the cylinder head, so still not easy!</div>

<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1441645776949_9035" dir="ltr" class="">The heater is certainly much
the same as that on the Magnette and may actually 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.</div>

<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1441645776949_9036" dir="ltr" class="">One hose is angled and when I
did the unit on my Magnette I used a modern 90 degree silicone reinforced hose
then joined it with a brass union to the straight run with the idea of a long
life.</div>

<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1441645776949_9038" dir="ltr" class="">The valves on the Smiths
heaters are known to be troublesome in old age, the internal diaphragm can
stick or perish. Replacements are available and again it may be the same as
the Magnette, I'm afraid that whilst I have references for many things, I
don't have anything for the Smiths heaters and valves. I have seen replacement
valves on e-bay. As it happen my heater is playing 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 the front, I doubt it would
differ on LHD cars.</div>

<div class="">
<div class="">Thanks Jeffery: </div>
<div class=""> </div>
<div class="">The one thing I know that I know I need to address is the heater. </div>
<div class="">Kyle Leatherwood who I am buying the car from told me that it was
disconnected by the previous owner whethe got the car. </div>
<div class=""> </div>
<div class="">Kyle was not sure if it was the heater core or a heater hose that was the
issue but he seem to think it was a hose.</div>
<div class=""> </div>
<div class="">Kyle also compared. The Wolsey heater to the Magnette Heater and said the
the heater box has the exact same detentions. </div>
<div class=""> </div>
<div class="">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
.</div>
