Hi all. I have been told by my Mechanic that the in-car heating system needs to be operational for my VL to pass road worthy (windscreen demister mainly). When he inspected the car, the heater hoses were not connected. They are now, however, when I backfill the heater inlet hose, it fills up and poors out, meaning that the heater core valve is shut (I made sure the heater / a/c control unit is switched to heat, but makes no difference). What makes the valve open then. On top of this the vents are permanently switched to the dash vents. I adjust the vent settings but it remains as. All the venting hoses are connected to the control unit, however, I note that the vacuum tank at the front of the car is not connected, does this make a difference. In essence I have NO idea how the in-car heating / venting system works. And it is dam hard to find some laymans terms on this. (just FYI, the a/c ha been removed, and the car is v8, if that makes any difference). sorry for long post, but there is a lot to jam in. Any help would be great.
