Yep, I'm ok with that. Although it is my understanding that some of those bumpers have rubber endcaps only on the ends of the bumpers like the US models, but others are chromed metal at the ends or rubber with metal underneath. I would prefer those if at all possible.

I'm looking for any non-american b310 bumpers in decent condition. I dont like the look of the rubber on my bumpers nor the amount that they stick out. I cant find those all chrome "pushed in" bumpers anywhere.

Fantastic, I don't really mind that, I can always keep the vent door closed when I'm not using it. But hell, if i'm finally going to fix this, even though I don't drive it in the winter, I might as well get me a new AC compressor. The one I have seized up. I don't suppose you know where I can get on of those? :)

In mine I believe the valve is actually corroded shut. I suppose the whole heater core may not even be bad. I wonder if I can just cut that valve out all together?

I was also once told by someone that you could fashion a heater core just by using a large diameter pipe and making fittings to connect to the water lines. Ya ever tried anything like that? Obviously the heater would pretty much always be going.

Anybody know what heater cores will work in place of a stock b310/210 heater core? I see a lot of Datto heater cores on ebay but none for my model. There's one on there for a 310 that looks pretty similar. Cheers.

awesome! Thanks DD

That's an old photo, most the emissions stuff is gone now. The valve just had a small air filter on it (i obviously dont know what im doing). Thats the part that fell off. I didnt think it was a good idea to plug it up but it doesnt go to anything now.

Nope, I dont think that's it. I'll have to find a picture. Its above the thermostat housing.

So, my damn diverter valve rusted and fell of. Now my car sounds like a boat. I put some water weld around it a week or so ago, and that held for a while but now its coming apart again. I believe i've seen a few pictures of guys plugging the whole up all together but that seems kinda iffy to me. Anyway, if anyone has a cheap DIY solution I would appreciate it. I dont really wanna pay $100+ for a new one.
