[s-cars] Heater not working

[Stott Hare]

Sounds like the servo flap in the cowling isn't switching you over to heat.
Remove the wiper motor, take the white? cover off the servo motor (several
small Phillips which will almost certainly break their mounting points in
the process).  Under there you will find the servo motor/arm.  Unscrew the
servo mounts, and rotate arms until the tab/slot align and you can remove.
AT that point you can validate by moving flap arm manually and feeling the
love... err heat in the cabin.  Fix or replace servo (there was a write up
on cleaning/repairing them on a British site a while back) and put it all
back together before the snow flies.

Good luck!
Stott

The blower works.  I get tons of airflow in the cabin.  The problem is that
the air is the temperature that it is outside, even with the heat set to HI
(or any other temp hotter than it is outside).  I let the car sit for 15
minutes with the climate control set to HI.  The engine was all warmed up,
but there was no change to the temp of the air blowing from the blower.  The
hoses going into the firewall both get hot so the coolant seems to be going
in and out.
