Mk2 Roadster Heater Matrix

[andyf]

Got my Marlin out to get her ready for the SKCC remembrance day run tomorrow and the heater has sprung a leak. I thought that it was a classic mini matrix in the custom marlin supplied heater box, but I can't find one with the correct pipe configuration online. Does anyone know what the matrix would have come from?

Marina matrix and fan were standard fitting to the alloy heater box supplied by Marlin. Why not do away with the heater box and fit complete u8nit of your choice?

Or go direct to the manufacturer here. I fitted one of their other models a few years back...good service, great product & helpful advice.

I fitted one of these to my Berlinetta, I hope it will do the job. My set up requires the fan to run all the time, as there is no force feed of air as the car moves. So I was a little disappointed to find that the two fan speeds are almost the same, more or less flat out. So I fitted a resistor in the wire to speed 1 and now I have slow and fast fan speed.

Ok, so I've got a replacement heater matrix. The next problem is how to get the heater box out of the car. It doesn't look like there is enough room to get it out with the heater matrix in place.

Tight, but it will wiggle out

It took about 4 hours but I managed to get the new heater matrix fitted today. It took a bit of BFI to get the heater box out.

Well done

Re: Mk2 Roadster Heater Matrix

LOL wiggle = persuasion with a rubber hammer.

Seriously, with the large tunnel for the Ford engine and box there was not much room to get it out. I had to take the carpet out to get enough room and it was still tight.
