The trials and tribulations of TVR Chimaera ownership.

Just when you thought.....

...it was safe to turn on the heater.

I have been traveling a bit in the Chimaera - quite a bit of motorway driving.  All of a sudden I smelt burning and then the heater fans stopped working.

I took the dashboard apart and found this:


Yes that is what you think it is :-( that's the heater control unit under the dashboard. This is the second time it has burnt out. First time I suspected the unit itself but now I think the current draw on it is increasing because the heater blower is seizing up - or is packing up.

More to follow next weekend - when I can get my head into the passenger footwell again
