Have you tried Somerford Minis?

Not yet, forgot about them!

You will have to wait until they come into stock at Mini Spares. These parts were NLA for years, in fact Rover never seemed to even start selling them as a seperate part in the first place. Mini Spares had them re-manufactured last year and unless they are selling them on to other traders, they are the only source. I have a set and they are far superior to the OE parts. There is a company making a replacement heater matrix that includes the outlets so it doesn't need these stubs but I can't remember who. In the short term, new O rings make a world of difference to the original Rover parts if they haven't actually completely turned to dust.

Oh and when they do come into stock, the kit includes new O rings.

Excellent! I will have to make do with what is left of the old ones at the moment then and fit some new suitable size o rings. Cheers for the info though, i would have spent ages searching for them if i hadn't known!

Pm Simon, he'll know when they are getting more in. They have been a very popular part since they were introduced, (what with the genuine part apparently being made from some form of cardboard-steel composite and replacements not having been available for years) so I imagine they'll be getting more. Until last year they were providing the earlier plastic one-piece outlet from the previous type of matrix under that part number because that's what Rover had listed. Rover just never updated the list when the new heater was introduced. Fortunately, Mini Spares noticed the error.
