Question E150 Going to Europe

Hi people, just a quick hello, my name is Karl and I'm a Brit , after lving in Florida for a while, I got myself , I think a bargain . But could also be a van from hell, once I start really looking into it.
Well I bought an E 150 Dayvan 1996 and I think its a mk III. 5.4l gas guzzler and auto trannie.
First thing it needs is HEAT - airco works , but that;s not needed here in Europe as much aas it was in Florida :-)
Pipework hot , rad ok , no leaks from heater box to be found - so what the heck is stopping heat from blowing out the vebts ? Vent control for heat moves without any friction so is it broke or the cable ?
Hope to hear from someone as summer doesn't look like coming this year

Karl




My E150 after arriving in UK, shipped without problems, well just a minor 3 week delay but I was happy as Larry to drive away.




E150 dayvan by Centuras , with my Rear sticker to warn idiot rear bumper tailgators




dirty,scruffy but it goes

Did you ever sort out your heater issue?
Could be a plugged heater core or the vacuum actuated air deflector is stuck.
