Attachment DeletedThanks 'dickdastardly' for the info on the digital temperature controller. Can I also ask what you used as a 'water valve'. Do you have a ebay number for this also? Do you have a mini heater fitted to the car?

On my car I have a mini heater fitted to the nearside of the car and at the moment I have a heater valve that can be controlled by a cable. Attachment Deleted

The valve is fitted to the right of the heater under the dashboard. But I think that the digital temperature controller is an excellent idea. Attachment Deleted

This diagram shows how I have plumbed the heater in so that coolant flows through the auto choke when the heater valve is fully open or fully shut. This is done because I have fitted a bypass pipe. Attachment Deleted

Good stuff just fit a solenoid you can buy them off ebay 12v half inch fittings like item number 2515307 normally closed then simply connect a coupling each end and 22mm copper pipe that should push into the hoses . The digital controlle63331r then simply opens or closes the solenoid on demand

I actually did mine a little different and used two solenoids, one normally open and one normally closed , the one normally open went into the bypass and when the digital thermostat cut in it opened the shut one and closed the open one , that way I can get full heat into the heater matrix

Regards directing the air flow its a lot simpler to just use vents you can close off by hand ,I used 4 x air vents from a modern MGTF they look the business and work really well and its easy to heat shrink the air duct onto the back of them but this can still be slid on and off the air vent

Thank you for that info. I have got some rotational vents in my dashboard. They demist the screen and can also be rotated to direct air to the driver. I got them from demon tweaks for about £10 each. My dash shape is different to yours though as the top slopes down at 45 degrees. Attachment Deleted

The beauty of the MG ones are you can turn them on and off so the cabin ones can be shut off so full force goes to the screen
