Thanks for the reminder

I've decided to take the starter off first and have a look at it to see how much of a kit I need. There are ones on ebay for 13 quid, which are just plunger and copper parts, or rough traxs do a more comprehensive kit fo 50 odd quid.

Thanks for the info. It must be the same for the petrol. ordering the kit now.

Thanks for replying Towpack. So its starter motor off job then? I wish I'd left my tools in the back now.

I can’t find the starter relay on my 96 Petrol 80 series. Anybody know where it is please. The starter isn’t disengaging and turns with ignition off! I’m thinking it’s the relay??

I eventually got round to mine. It was a dash out job, but on the plus side I managed to pick up a genuine matrix really cheap(don't ask!). I got someone else to do it with my help(not much). I'm so glad I didn't take it on. What a mess it is inside there! Anyway, thanks for the invaluable input...

Scrub that! It is on the passenger side doh!

In the black box? driver side uk?

Hi all. Has anyone any experience of fitting an aftermarket heater matrix to their 80 series? Is this advisable? If so which brand did you use? thanks for your time! Mark

I replaced the fusable links and most everything works fine now except the abs? Any ideas there?

Thanks Frank. dash out then, I suppose.

Anybody else had any luck with rad weld to cure matrix problem?

Do you have a brand in mind?

Is there a cheap fix that might work? Egg in the cooling system or something like that?

There’s what appears to be a thermostat(?) that goes in that hole.
