Nute Posted December 17, 2025 Share Posted December 17, 2025 Just been removing the screen wash from the engine coolant expansion tank which my wife put in there thinking she was filling up the screen wash on her car ... Got to take mine into the dealers tomorrow to have the motor thing that runs the cabin heater replaced - the car has a third party warranty who said "no- not covered" until I posted a review, then all of a sudden they were falling over themselves to pay up as long as I took the review down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will be the cabin heater motor I suspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nute Posted December 17, 2025 Share Posted December 17, 2025 I think it's something which directs where the cabin air goes as I change the heater settings. Either way I just want the heating to bloody do what I ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YamaHead Posted December 18, 2025 Share Posted December 18, 2025 53F this morning after a night of gale force winds w/ 60+mph gusts....blew down half of a willow tree in my back yard. Then spent all day w/ Mrs. Hook at the hospital while she got a new right knee. She did pretty good but still needs to sleep off the pain meds. I'll go back down to La Grande tomorrow to bring her home. Our house just isn't the same w/o her...& our dogs know it. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad the op went well mate, hopefully her recovery is quick and full, my mum had a new knee 18 years ago and it's holding up well 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
