Guys thanks for the encouraging and positive response. A true community. I'll go and try the heater controls and see if I can shut it down. I think I've currently 3 clicks so there's another one or two in there. We're off to the continent in June so I really need the fan to turn off. Mark. The fan has only 3 positions: Off, low, and high. The heater control is the knob with a sort of wave on it, on the LHD car it is on the right but I think it is the same on RHD cars. When it is off the symbol is horizontal. Down under the dash in front of the brake lever there are two vents which can be adjust for opening and angle of air flow. They are aimed towards the seats. On either side of those, at the side of the footwell, there are another two vents aimed towards the sides of the car. These can also be closed or have the direction of airflow changed. Hope this helps
Peter

Peter,
That worked a treat. Three closed tight and one (driver side cabin) opened fully. Thanks for that. I'm assuming there's a flow of air generally when the fan is off which was concentrated by there just being one outlet open. It increases when the fan is operated and when the fan is off it's at it's least intensity. When the car isn't moving there's nothing from it at all so it must be drawing outside air past the element? (comments invited) Which I suppose it has to do.
Found another knob under there. Right of steering wheel and under dash beside the clock set button. A rotating black (like the old marshall amp dials) knob. Dash dimmer? I'll try it later.
Cheers.

Mark, If the heater knob, bottom right with a sort of wave on it, is properly off (anti-clockwise) any air that arrives should be outside air temperature and not hot. Perhaps in heavy traffic you would get some hot air from the radiator and the motor itself but not from the heater core. If you are still getting hot air with the knob completely anti-clockwise there may be a problem with the connection. For me, looking at your photos, it seems off but it may be rotated half a turn. Try rotating it fully clockwise and fully anti-clockwise. Wirewheel confirmed there should be 5 clicks.
I'm not sure exactly where the interior ventilation draws its air from.
Peter

Peter,Wirewheel,
Cheers. It's like one of those pictures that came from the 60's kids books. Each time you look at it there's something else. Love it!!
Thanks guys.

Krossek,
I found that waiting, deciding and generally fact finding was so positively assisted by this web forum that it was almost as if I already had the car and was only missing the log book. These guys will help the time go in for you, and I (and I'm sure all of them) wish you the very best for it when it comes. Thats true. I enjoy this forum and the friendly atmosphere every day.

A great read of first drive impressions. Bonnet catches - my bonnet will only open if the rear catch is undone first! (me or the Morgan?)

Instructions say rear first to undo, last to fasten.
