ADJUSTMENT 3.Disconnect bottom hose from radiator. Drain
coolant into a clean container. Reconnect bottom
hose, re-tighten hose clamp.
NOTE: It is not possible to drain all coolant
retained in heater system. It is not
desirable to flush through system, after
draining.
4.Remove engine drain plugs, one each side of
cylinder block, beneath exhaust manifolds. Drain
coolant, refit and tighten plugs.
5.Pour correct solution of water and anti-freeze
into expansion tank until radiator is full.
6.Start engine, run it until normal operating
temperature is attained, topping up as
necessary.
7.Refit radiator filler plug and 'O' ring, with new 'O'
ring if required. Tighten to
6 Nm.
8.Fit expansion tank filler cap.
9.Allow engine to cool, check coolant level. Finally
top up expansion tank until level reaches seam

HEATING AND VENTILATION

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Controls set for unheated air to footwells and face level vents
Heater and ventilation operation
The heating and ventilation system contains a heater
matrix, which is connected to the engine cooling
system, and a 4 speed fan for air distribution. Engine
coolant is circulated through the heater matrix
continuously, except when the temperature controls
are set to COLD.
Recirculated air
When the recirculation switch is pressed, an electrical
servo operates and fully closes the fresh air intake
flap.
Fresh air
When the recirculation switch is returned to the OFF
position, the electrical servo returns and fully opens
the fresh air intake flap.Heated air
Temperature output is controlled by the temperature
controls which move the air direction and temperature
flaps independently to increase or decrease the
volume of air flow through the heater matrix.
V8 Engine:When both controls are in the cold
position, the coolant valve is turned off.
Face level vent flap
Control at face level, flap fully open. All other vents
closed.
Control at face and foot level, flaps half open.
Unless an air conditioning unit is fitted, only fresh or
re-circulated air is available from the face level vents.
Demist vent flap
Control at demist, flap fully open. All other vents
closed.
Control at demist and foot level, flaps half open.
