... but can you actually turn the heater off ???!!!
My 1986 4/4 seems to chuck out the hot air through the windscreen demister vents regardless of whether I slide the control bar (under the dash marked 'H') in, out or in between !
And this is with the fan turned off !
Is there another control that I've missed ?
Now that the weather is a little warmer, I'm starting to roast.
I sit and wait for replies with suitable embarrasment .

Hi Matthew
The control under the dash is IN for ON & OUT for OFF. I find that the water is still getting hot because only one side of the heater rad has a control valve. Sometimes these stick so it would be a good idea to set it to cold under the dash and then try and move the valve lever at the rear of the cylinder head. You could try slackening the control wire at the valve and try to close it a tad more. I hope this helps

Thanks David, I'll give that a try - I'd assumed that out was on and in was off, so I hadn't even got the basics right !
