heater question

[Ben]

just thought i would make use of the forum while its still running.

are the heaters the same in all age minis ie: would a heater from a 1988 mini fit and work properly in my 1994 sprite? is the wiring the same or would it be different?

There were (I think) 4 different heaters used. The original recirculating type as fitted to early Mk 1s and vans/pickups, the early fresh-air heater with the vertical selector switch, the 'mainstream' fresh-air heater fitted to the vast majority of cars and finally the 2-speed MPi type.

An '88 heater should be identical to a '94.
