Hi Tim!

Good suggestion. I took your advice and secured the vacuum pipe with a little zip tie - shouldn't fall off now!

Situation is improving - took the CAV for a long drive today and got her up to operating temps. Definitely some heat coming out now but it's really not a lot. Only marginally warmer than the 40 degree cockpit unfortunately.

I suspect I need to "burp" the lines for the heater. As suggested above, sounds like the right fix is to install a small valve in line with one of the heater lines to help evacuate any air. I'll give this a whirl tomorrow.

Thanks again.
