Heater blowing resistors

To save me time at the breakers, if you know where on a Rover 200 the resistors are for the heater blower, could you let me know please.

Cheers,

John.

p.s A bit of dim moment lead to the incorrect thread title!

There screwed into the Heater fan assembly. Two screws and it pull's out. There basically wound wire.

They look like this.

John

Limpabit has provided all the necessary info, I would just sugest, it maybe of some value to use a relay, and if possible when you go to the breakers, get as much rover wireing as you can.

Cheers chaps,

I thought it'd be in the airstream, as they usually are, but I couldn't see it on my heater box when I had a look.

Either I need my eyes testing, or the resistors were on a section of the heater box I chopped off when I modified the 'box, and I've forgotten where the "safe" place is I put the resistors.

Either way, oops.

John.

John, you have not chopped it off as it is located know where near that part!

As you are sat in the passenger seat and looking at the blower you will be looking at the round part of the blower....it is located at the bottom of this if my memory serves me correctly

Right, I'll have a proper look tomorrow. Passenger side is full of rubbish, that's my excuse for not spotting it!

Nothing lost, as I got on with the rear lights instead

Slowly getting there!

I like those lights! Could you tell me where you got them? I'm (trying!) to get some via Marlin but I don't think they're quite as nice so might look at other options.

They're the same lights as Craig and Limpabit both also have, so not ideal if you want to be individual!

I wonder where the idea came from......!

I started on the fronts last night (shame there aren't enough hours in the day!)

Looking good John. Not far to go now!
