Hey guys, the pull cord for my heater is pretty well seized up, and with winter on it's way I thought I'd replace it this weekend when I'm flushing the cooling system. The question is, can anyone verify that this is the correct part that I need for the Rover, and is it likely that this is the part causing me trouble?

Thanks.

I'm pretty sure those two are for older cars. Mine is an spi and it's completely different to them. Have a look on the mini spares site to find the right part number.

Yeah, I've been digging all of the retail spots, and am now having trouble deciding between these two...

My Rover was built for Japan and had air-con. It is a single-point, but under the bonnet is arranged more like a twin-point... Oi...

Is the heater valve under the bonnet or on the side of the heater inside the car ?

It isn't under the bonnet, as I cannot find the heater pull cable coming through the firewall. I assume this means it is under the dash..

The JJB100260 is the one that suits your car. It's located on the top of the heater on the left side.
Difficult to get to - I'd just leave it open permanently.
:D

Thanks Harley!

I plan to drop the heater out entirely, give it all a clean and a rinse, replace the tap, and re-install the whole lot. Doesn't sound like fun, but I can't stand having the thing seized up!

I have the same heater for my project car- but was just going to have it permanently connected with no tap at all! Problem solved!
