That darn heater - again

I have read loads on the heater problems, I've replaced several of the big pink 30A fuses

they keep popping, bought a new speed fan motor, checked my blades turn, but still the heater doesn't work. Someone said something about another motor for the fan (or did I read it wrong?)If so, where is it and what do I do next? Am travelling to S.France at the end of July and the dogs will die in the heat if I can't get the blower working. Thanks

Have you repaired/replaced the resistor wire?

What resistor wire? Where do I find that? - Only just started looking under the bonnet for techie things and only had the bongo a year. The fuse keeps blowing so there must be a short of something. If you can tell me where and how to get at the resistor wire I'll check that - I'll check anything I can - cheers

Hi again
If you're a member, there is a fact sheet at http://www.igmaynard.co.uk/bongo/member ... sistor.pdf .
If not a member, you'll have to search the forum. Enter "heater AND resistor" (without the inverted commas) in the search field - there are loads of threads on the subject.

Thanks, I've already replaced the fan speed resistor and done everything I can from the second page so I guess I'll have to take it to the Drs! Cheers
