Whilst i was checking for leaking oil after my sump plug mod (see Sump plug blues)
I notice that the heater pods cable operating springs were rather weak and possibly the bowden cable had streched. they were of course rusted to hell and back. I then checked that the cables actually moved when the heater cool to tepid operating lever in the cab was moved. the cables moved but the pod operating lever did not move on the nearside and only slightly on the offside. I pondered a solution as it seemed that the springs where now very tired and the cable end stop so rusted that if i had attempted to undo the retaining bolt pete tong would have visited me at a rate of knots. so i ponded a solution what with winter looming, being warm in the cab would be a bounus.
then

Now if the pods aren't knackerd I may get more warmth in the cab. NOTE I did say may....
