What Brian says^^^^^^. Common on Ford Tranny's.

I think its a weak point on a lot of cars, never done one on a Tranny Van.

Its good fun getting at the one on a Toyota GT4.
The Clio is one of the easier ones......

Yeah, that looks like a piece of the preverbial!!!

I work for a certain Transport Industry (it's like big busses on rails!)
and we use Transits. Being "Legged up" most of the time with the
heater running, you'd be hard pushed to find a van in our fleet
that's heater works properly!!!

Heater plenums full of crisp bags and fag ends ?????

My other half's Micra had the resister pack go, was dead easy to fix on that one

Our depot's been smoke free for years! Crisp bags? well....

It's more over-use than owt else!!!

One night shift last winter, we were in a Tranny
with no blower it was -7 outside and the lads were
impressed that i got 2 hours sleep! But I was born in
colder climes!

I would have made a fire with the crisp bags :rasp:

Speaking as a pyromaniac, they dont burn very well!
They just shrivel up and hiss.
Plus, I don't mind the cold fek the rest of them!!!!

No problem. The one in the picture was cleaned up and put back and is still working six months on.

No worries.
