[Rovernet] Where's the heat in my 3500S?

[LANCE LA CERTE PSY D]

Jim,   I've only run across one person with a 3500S who said the heater worked well (I'm sure others will chime in to help with the problem).   My heat has always been anemic and after I completely rebuilt the entire drive train, in the process I had the heater core out for some minor repairs, but never had it tested/recored (I rue the day).  With everything else cleaned out and working perfectly, my suggestion is to find out if you heater core is clogged/corroded/dysfunctional.


If the core is not a possible problem, I would love to hear from others about any fixes because I can never drive mine in the winter because it is too damn cold.

Got booed at the theater, huh?  Wow, man.  My condolences.        Abraham Lincoln

AC works fine, but it's the time of year when I need Heat!

        Didn't work last year so I replaced the vacuum valve with a good (?) used one. At least the Rover owner who sold it to me thought it was good. Didn't fix the problem. Recently, I took out the heat control switch (behind the console) to make sure all the lines were connected: They were, though some fit a  little loose. The letters on the vacuum hoses match up to the diagram in the shop manual, as well.

        Any ideas what I should do next? Is there any way to run a test on the vacuum valve to see if it's working?

        All suggestions welcome, since winter's knockin' on my Virginia door!

                Jim Pile
