130 broken again (my fault this time)!

Decided to do some more work on the 130 today. Got the centre consul and associated bits out today in my quest to sort out the heating and ventilation. Unfortunately when removing the blower switch knob I did not take into account it is held with a grub screw and managed to break the switch beyond repair

If anybody has a spare for sale please let me know!

Stig has one!

regards Richard

hi dave, sorry to read you have broke the knob, what a sickener! at least richard knows what i have in my lock up!will have look in some of the boxes!

Re: 130 broken again (my fault this time)!

Well, today I plundered a 130 Coupe which is being broken for spares (very rusty). I managed to get a set of column switches and a blower switch amongst other things. The donor car had air con and the switch has three settings not two. Does anybody know is it just the switch that is different or is the fan/motor different too?

More details and pics of what I bought to follow!

Re: Re: 130 broken again (my fault this time)!

hi dave,was the car you plundered, the one in wigan?
are the window gear still intact? drivers side?

Re: Re: 130 broken again (my fault this time)!

the motor will be different, also across the counsole thre should be another switch for the air con,but will check the manual,

Re: 130 broken again (my fault this time)!

Yes it was the one in Wigan. The electric motor and gears for the drivers side window were still there. The door panel has been riveted on though so take a drill or hammer and chisel with you! If you go to it could you perhaps pick up a few bits for me? I bought the carburettor, but left some screws for it under the bonnet and I also got the air con system but think I have left the bracket for the pump attached to the engine. I ran out of time as it took longer to the the parts I needed than I thought!

I got the fan motor too so that should not be an issue!

Re: Re: 130 broken again (my fault this time)!

will see if i can get there soon.
