Last post by LazyLightning - 18 September 2023, 12:19 PMQuote from: BMA on 18 September 2023, 12:57 AMvery nice color combination and condition looks nice as well. Congrats and welcome. Very good Price as well. only 32k miles?
Cars like that are more expensive here in Germany

Thanks Björn! Unfortunately my car does not actually have 32k miles! I wish. The odometer was replaced decades ago, but all the mileage is rigorously documented - the car actually has 113k miles. Still not bad for a ~46 year old car!

Last post by Randys01 - 18 September 2023, 05:08 AMNot heard this one BUT I can recall footage on the tv debuting the Finnie being put thru its paces when it accidently rolled and fell over small cliff.!
The team clambered down to the car and opened the doors!. this then became a feature of the documentary!
A serendipitous event you could say!

Mechanicals / Re: Heat
Last post by daantjie - 17 September 2023, 10:31 PMIf you push DEF you need to get max hot air out of the outlets at the windshield. That would be the first test.
Also, you say the auxiliary water pump is missing. So do you know how the hoses have been rerouted? Maybe a previous owner bridged the hoses to bypass the heater core. If the heater core is leaking perhaps this was a shortcut fix. Hopefully not the case as that is a huge job to replace the heater core.

Last post by Feather535 - 17 September 2023, 09:56 PMI know there have been a lot of threads on climate control, but I'm hoping the group can steer me to the right sources for the problem I'm trying to solve.
The car is a 1977 280SE with ACC II. The AC doesn't work, but I'm not concerned about that right; with cool weather coming soon, I just want to get some heat in the cabin. The push buttons for climate control work as they should (the fan blows, and air comes out the right places), but the air is always cool, regardless of where the temperature control wheel is set. The car still has the original regulating valve with 14 vacuum hoses and an electrical harness, but the electric hot water pump is missing.
Where to start?
