Thread: Dehumidifier / Heater ???

I think you mean de-mister/heater. The one shown is fitted to a Series II.

You should be able to find a Series III blower from a wrecker or someone on the forum.

Try the Wanted area of the Markets: http://www.aulro.com/afvb/wanted-adverts/

That pic looks like a series 3 lightweight so not representative of a "normal" series 3.

The series 3 did have a a heater system as an option (my 1972 didn't have one) in the engine/passenger guard so LR parts suppliers in the UK should be able to provide what you need.

Locally try LR wreckers, the standard LR aftermarket/NOS parts suppliers, or advertise in the Wanted Section of the Markets on this forum.

Hello from Brisbane.

Be aware that the heater and blower fan that was fitted to the UK models is slightly different to the unit that was fitted into the Australian S3 models - local content.

The blower fan is a Smiths unit, but was locally built and possibly common to a few other locally assembled British Leyland cars of the era. The heater boxes, cores and taps are certainly different, as is the diameter of the air duct from the blower to the heater box. The blower motor and the fan housing and mount may also be different.

You might be better off looking for one off a local wreck, preferably one that hasn't been standing out in the weather for a decade or so - the motor can be reconditioned (DIY) if it isn't too far gone. There is a bit of a trick to getting the flimsy impeller off without breaking it.

Cheers,
