Clive Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 yes. The exception is that some heralds had a delaney heater which looks very different. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scooter Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Some Vitesses had a Delaney heater too. Supposedly a better heater, which really wouldn't be hard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve C Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 You will be amazed what a new matrix will do for the heater output - mine is toasty! Steve C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve C Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Hi Paul I got mine from here: http://www.demisterman.co.uk/Triumph/Triumph%20Herald%20heater%20matrix.php Good service and worth every penny. Apart from having to relieve the holes in the heater fascia plate a little with a stone on a hand drill to stop it putting any lateral pressure on the inlet/outlet pipes, an easy job.(The pipes on the repro version were about 1cm further apart, but I did tell him about it, and he may have corrected this since).

Paul H Posted May 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 Progress.. Started to dismantle smiths heater with a view to check condition of heater matrix . I've removed the rubber pipes, removed the spring clips , and from inside the car undone the 2 retaining nuts and removed the air distribution box . Removed the blower motor. Now trying to lift out the heater assembly , including the front plate . It won't budge and as it there are more bolts to undo . Anything I've missed ?????
