DaveT Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 I don't see how that gets any access to the heater core. The A/C Evaporator, yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll have to check that out for the time if/when I need to replace the heater core in the brumby. It could possibly be different for RHD and LHD vehicle’s too... I’ll have a look!

Steptoe Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Moth balls and rodents do not mix very well so if you plug a car away in a shed or storage for some time or just have rodents cleaning their teeth on car soft stuff..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kayakertom Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Wondering when I'll get my really nice 3-door ea82 back together minus the mice nest... Still removing things to get access... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayakertom Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Does the heater / ac/ fan control unit have to be disassembled / disconnected to remove the dash (3rd image)? Something seems to be snagging the dash at the top center. Looks like a mouse dragged a rag into one of the boxes (4th image). This stopped being fun a long time ago...

DaveT Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 I don't think any of the big heater parts need to come out before the dash. [been too long] The steering column does have to be unbolted from it's anchor points so it sags down. There is a bolt in the center under a snap in cover, like the ones on either side, right up near the windshield. No this is not a fun project at all.

el_freddo Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 You would’ve been better off pulling the dash board out. You’ve created a lot more work there pulling all the individual pieces out like that! There are seven bolts holding the dashboard in from memory. Three under the windscreen hidden behind click on plates, two each side, one centered one. Lower section there’s one on each side, then two in the centre on top of the trans tunnel. Other snags include speedo cable, temp control slide cable, vent cables - driver’s and passenger’s side, AC wiring, ignition wiring and the main dashboard harness plugs. This is all from memory so I could be wrong on a few of these. Last L series dash removal was in 2015... I thought I had an image of my L dashboard out of the vehicle but I can’t find it now. As for the MY heater core. I can’t see how this can be removed without pulling the dashboard to remove the heater box. I’ve got my brumby dashboard out atm and there’s no way that heater core comes out sideways. Cheers Bennie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayakertom Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Took out the Evaporator Core Box without removing the dash and that contained the mouse nest. Found 4 mice bodies and lots of insulation material, a rag, paper, leaves and twigs... May start the reassembly process tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 You got lucky if that's the only place they got to. Mine, they had made nests and left crap all through the duct work and the heater core / blend door assembly. And chewed the seals [foam] off the blend doors.
