Hey guys new proud owner of a 75 2001 auto. Just picked it up today and noticed the heating is working on the drivers side but blowing cold air on passengers nit sure if I'm just being stupid and missing something but any help would be appreciated

not sure but bearing in mind the car has dual controls the heating can be turned up and down individually on either side

That's quite a common complaint James and is usually the result of a blocked heater matrix.

Is this an easy fix

Usually to try and clear a blocked matrix you need to remove the heater pipes in the engine bay connect a hose pipe to one of the copper pipes sticking out of the bulkhead and flush it out, then reverse the hose pipe and flush the opposite way, hopefully lots of mucky crud will come out and job is usually jobbed

Right was speaking about cars in general but as you will see from the next thread rover 75 pipes don't allow you to get at the clips at the bulkhead.
