hi everyone, i've just purchased a soarer that i think was on this site previously, the owner was greg foord. good bloke, kept this soarer in amazing condition! i couldn't be happier.

few little things need fixing with the car.. air con, heater, saggy door, climate control LCD.. shouldn't be too difficult..

i've been reading threads about fixing the heater, still trying to get my head around it? shouldn't be too hard though.

i'll most likely thrash this forum as i did the same with my motorbike when i got that.

What is wrong with the heater? I thought mine was f**ked, but it turned out to be the VSV. Swapped one from the race car, and all was well.

Welcome any rate.

Hi Ethan and welcome. Take the little breather cap of the top of the valve and spray a little crc/wd40 into it. Then with engine running use the vacuum line you used as bypass and swap it between the bottom inlet and the top breather outlet a few times. You will feel the valve start to free up and move, I did this and heater works a treat now. Also we have a local group on facebook, SoarerSA, and a cruise organised for this Saturday... Come along if you are free...

Ian, i don't think so, never heard of him! is he on the forum also?

thanks Dave, i think i'll come to the meetup at 2 but maybe not the cruise as i want to get it home and get the VSV valve off.
