I'm a bit embarrassed by this one!

can anyone advise me on how to untie the flaps on my heat exchangers?? i got them tied open by my mechanic back in the depths of the winter while i was having a load of other stuff done, not my feet are really hot and i need to undo his good work!

I've looked under the wheel arches and all i can seem to see is a long cable either side with spring coiled round - couldnt get into see where it ended up. i though i read somewhere that this job could be done without geting under the van...perhaps i was wrong!

Mine done have the cables attatched anymore the levers are just bent into the on position. Sorry for the poor picture, but you can just make out the
chain attatched to the lever on top. Follow the big heater pipes back to the exhanger.

thanks for taking th time to upload the pic. ended up having to take it to the garage anyway to get the brakes checked out so asked him to do it while he was fiddling around

sorry, raising this one again becuase really need to get this done now! once again, hands up and admitting the guilt over here. Had the van nearly a ear and dont know one of essential self fixes!

Does anyone have a clear photo to demonstrate or even a description?

thanks!

Hey up Sam come out of hiding and let us know where you are

If your close enough to me or indeed anyone else with the "knowledge" perhaps we can enlighten you face to face
Failing this please feel free to give me a call (07989450987) and should be able to talk you through it
Cheers

hey toolsntat,

thanks so much for the offer! I'm in london so a little far from leicestershire - would be god to give you a call though. Probably be good to do it at a time when i'm stood next to the van so I can see what you're telling me! Let me know when's good for you - i'll only be around sat morning or in and out all day on sunday. otherwise could try to do it at some point next week.

Thanks!

Sam

No problem , try me any time and if possible we`ll try and sort it there and then

A great big thanks to Andy for talking me though the fix - took me about 10 mins once i knew what I had to do - would have been faffing for ages if he wasnt there to help

Pleasure to be of assistance......
