Hi all,
I have just done the o-rings and it is nice to once again have some heat even in our mild winter. Many thanks to paul.adshead and all who contributed to this shortcut.
Looking at the distribution flap blend motor and found that with it removed the flaps are stiff. I have loosened them using the self tapper method (thanks to Allv8, Wiggy and Chrissal) and they are improved but can be better. I am now considering lubricating the flaps by drilling a couple o holes and spraying in some wd40 or lithium grease.
Search is usually my friend but in the case I can find lots of reference to this idea but none actually specifying where to drill the holes. My gut feeling is to use the hole in the middle (from the self tapper method) to lubricate the flap edge and drill one on each side to try for the edges of the flaps.
Appreciate any input on this please.
Regards, Steve.
