found mine is dead today, any spares going about?

None that I know of... but I can do a rapid prototype of the new batch if you want to best crash test gean *gunea *giny *hamster....

guinea?! its just one of those words isn't it!

Une Cochon D'Inde....

Yeah, thats the one!! Thanks Gem!

Vart, it's down to Gemma that we have a possible solution, I nicked her old resistor pack a couple of months ago

are you making / building replacements? you can still get them at volvo no? or is this to save pounds? i cant remember how much volvo wanted!!

Nah, Volvo no longer stock them is the rumour I heard, which is why I tried hacking something else together...

Solution seems to be less of a hack, and more of a trip to a Euro Car Parts...

i'm shortly of to GSF for some expendables and i'll see if they stock heater packs, then i'm going to have a look at brook house volvo in ippo to see what they claim to have. otherwise i'll test the new thing.

regards

Hi Vart,

Look wot I got.


Don't know the age of your car, but this is a 3207725 (upto ch.154579) if you are after this you want a 3210094.

If you think this is any good to you you are welcome to try it (after all it's only just down the road in Needham).

Mac.

wicked, i may pop down at some point, i'll send you a PM or something when i've got use of an automobile again. hopefully later this week.

mines an '86 1.4, but that part looks the same. the current one with bending cleaning and being sworn is a total failure.

thanks again.

No problemo Vart, - it should work ok - if you want to pop by, PM me with your 'real' e-mail and i'll give you address/phone etc.

Mac.

Another victory for Mac I see - who I swear has a Volvo parts department in his attic

Nah ! only 300s, 400s, and 900s

Wheee excellent - I happen to have a 1990 Volvo 940GL , as well as my trusty 360GLT

how convenient is that?

after quite a cut and shut job the resistor went in and the fans and heater work once more. thanks again mac.
