Very true!

Cam - I had the two matrix units side by side - identical. The feed hoses on both my cars look to be the same - they join the same bits together anyway. The main clue for top efficiency is to eliminate the by-pass hose (or at least block it off) - more airflow is all very well (and the Mini fan gives at least twice the old Minor fan ever managed) , but you need to be sure there is enough hot water circulating, or it will just blow luke warm !

I fitted a Mini heater,complete. 92 degree stat, repostioned air intake to behind top of radiator [ now running hotter due to hotter stat ] secured with zipper clips.
But one thing I did notice once when front screen out. The demister outlets were not exactly under the slots in dash. Remove them cut about 3/16" from fixing tabs and redrill them.
Result, perfectly aligned outlets, better demisting.

Ah, you must be confused. That's what happens to a northerner when they are forced to live in the south and subjected to a life of 'real ale' or 'extra smooth draft'.
Still, my more than acceptable antidote was to eat curry all the time. Which has to be accompanied by lager, not beer.

Now, I know I'm not exactly in my field of expertise here
But
EVEN I know that 'real ale' is a northern/midland thing and the south only drink shandy
and lager shandy at that!

They'll be telling us next that Boddingtons and Newcastle Broon are pleasant, manly drinks. Leave them to it - they don't know any better...

Newcastle Broon? That was absolutely AWFUL last time I drank it
Mind you that was about 15 years ago but I doubt it's changed much...

Now this is back on top I wonder if Jonathan progressed any futher with the improved 3 speed unit that was being developed is it in production or available yet.

Well its in production as a raw unit, fully built tested etc but in a simple box rather than built into the original late minor casing. I'm short of development time at the moment but if anyone is definately interested I can raise it in position of priorities. I can e-mail someone some pics as it looks at present, to post on here .
