spare part needed for old hymer!!!

[jaygee]

I need a heater rheostat for my 1993 hymer - on a fiat chassis.
my local fiat dealer cannot help as it is an imort and he cannot get many spares for it, definetly the rheostat. Anyone know who I could try for this?

are we takling about the speed controler for the Cab heater if so i might have some info

Yes that's the one.
Only blows on full power - we have confirmed it's a faulty rheostat (we fit loads to customers vehicles) but cannot get one anywhere?

then you will know there about £50 ish if your stuck the parts can be bought and soldered in for a few pence (Maplins):thumb:

And before the customers go jumping up and down
Factor in the cost of sending someone to maplins and the labour in repairing it would cost you more than the new replacment but gets you out of a fix
