Hello dear P6 professioals (Part 4)
I really need your help, because I run out of ideas and logic solutions
Well, my car (Rover 3500S NADA) has some little difficulties at the moment.
1.) No sound/crank from starter (I post in electric section)
2.) Horrible squealing brakes (I post in brake section)
3.) Hazard flasher switch not working (I post in electric section)
4.) Heater does not heat (I post in engine section)
Nr 4., AIR CON model, not heating anymore, or how „so called mechanics“ can ruin things.
2 years ago I had to look for a new garage which I can trust, so I brought my car to a garage (oldtimer cars) because the idiot of the Range Rover garage switched the tappets in wrong order, during changing the cylinder head gasket 3 years ago) He just said, this is no problem, the tapping of the tappets will disappear soon. Of course, It did not. My car is still tapping beyound 40 mph.
Well, the guy in the oldtimer cars garage also repaired a screw (worn, stuck) of the inlet manifold, changed the thermostat, but forgot to change the tappets (just cleaned it??!!! = another Story how stupid some People are)…..since then, the heater does not work anymore. Its an air-con model, so If I turn on the heater knob, I hear the water rustle, but the air stays cold.
So, last year, I brought the car to another specialist (because I lost trust in Oldtimer Garage after this**) , he was looking for the fault behind the centre console inside, behind electric window switches, the vaccum pipes, wires, etc…
My question: where I must start to look for this problem? Is it a simple thing like, a wrong or defect thermostat inside the inlet manifold? Defect heater matrix? Something with the water circuit? The AIR CON tater tap on the end of inlet manifold plus Water tap metal wire (to heater unit) looks good and is not broken.
I really appreciate your help and advices. Not only I run out of ideas, I run out of garages and mechanics here in Austria, because they all ruin more then help me.
(**another expensive example: they ruined my at BW 35 Transmission, it was repaired by ROVER CLUB Austria, but they did also not work good enough, because BW 35 is loosing much oil again) (this will be Part 5.....someday)
Thank you very very much
