heating

Hey all, I noticed tonight that the blowers in my car are only hot on the drivers side unless I wind the passenger side up until it clicks, then it's hot. Any simple ideas or is it going to be a horrific dashboard out job? I'm hoping not as it's an airbag on the passenger side. Cheers for any...

At the start of my journey to work of about half an hour I set the controls thus: For most of the journey the heater appeared to be doing nothing. I couldn't hear it and I wasn't getting any warmer. However, if I vented the airflow away from the windscreen it started to mist up so I guess...

Hi My central heating is on the blink again and I have not been able to get hold of the guy that fitted it today. I have been up to the loft and the boiler is on and the pipes coming from it are hot so assume that its working, but we have no heat in any of the radiators. It is a...

Hi all, I would like to have heated rear seats in my W140, I was toying with the idea of buying an original seat with the elements already installed, then making up a loom etc., until someone suggested that I consider going down the route of an aftermarket seat pad kit; now I have looked...

We have a combo system with a 10 years old Valiant boiler, and cover from British Gas (as in the 'your world' advert etc). In the summer the boiler was loosing pressure and British Gas had the pressure relief valve replaced (I think). There was also a very small leak, so they put in some leak...

Guys anyone know the answer to what this could be Electric Electrolux oven used to work fine, then food took longer to cook, bought a seperate thermometer and put it in and the oven isnt heating up enough. need to fix it ready for the xmas turkey! :doh:

Boiler has been working fine and then about 15 minutes ago I noticed a loud humming. Went into garage and found boiler making a fairly loud humming noise thats its never done before. If I switch the thermostat on the old Apollo Fanfare30/50 from HIGH to OFF the noise stops. Noise reappears if I...

Hi We have had our new boiler fitted and we have heat again :D Now I have some questions, probably silly ones, but here goes. The controller that has been fitted is a Siemens wireless room thermostat, I know how to set times and temperatures to control the heating, but can't work out a way...

I have hot water in the header tank (F&E) to my vented central heating system....this has happened recently. As far as I can tell, the rads are getting hot. Any ideas

Hi The heating in our house has gone on the blink, the down stairs radiators are stone called whereas the up stairs ones are as hot as usual and the hot water seams hotter than normal. I have googled this and is seams to point towards a pump failure, can anyone suggest anything else that...

I have a Vaillant Combi Ecotec plus boiler that serves the central heating and I seem to have pressure issues in the radiators. When the system is cold the sealed pressure reading is at about .4 bar and at around this figure the boiler will refuse to come on and show an error. Then you have...

Hello, my CLK350, 2006, cab, W209 did come with seat heating, nor the buttons on the dashboard. The seats are full leather with no pinholes. Can seat heating be retrofitted either MB original or non original. If non original, can MB original buttons be installed and used? I know that a non...

Hi I've a C180 Auto Year 2000 (W202) which I only use occasionally. It had been standing for 3 months and I drove it 15 miles and everything worked ok. Stopped for 10 mins and restarted and the air con wasn't working. Next morning the blower fan stopped working too. Left the car for 8 months...

Hi all, The other day I noticed my heating dial would not augment the actual heat output. I wanted to reduce the temperature, turned both heating dials down but only the passenger side vents reduced in temperature. This was while using the aircon, i've not noticed the issue without aircon on...

Just wondered if anyone else here is as 'nuts' as I am and heats their garage through winter. In which case, curious what forms of heating people use? I've been using a 3kw electric space heater but I'm thinking there might be more economical ways to achieve the same. I'm not so much after...

Hi all! Need some help..... Went for a drive with my C43 in the mountains yesterday and enjoyed the red and gold autumn colours. However, when my wife tell me she's freezing on her side of the cabin, I was doubtful as I was warm and comfortable on my side. I checked the air-vents on her side...

Hi all, Another heating question as the days grow colder!! Anyone know anything about "kick heaters" - i.e. heaters that fit in the kick board under the cabinets in your kitchen. I believe that there are both electric and wet central heating (with electric fans) variants? I'm guessing...
