Why do you people think that opening windows is somehow a substitute for air conditioning? It isn't, air con is a refrigeration process.

It cant be that difficult to fit a second hand heater unit. It's just a bolt in unit under the dashboard, at worst you may have to buy a new heater tap and bottom radiator hose, and some universal half inch heater hose to connect it all together. If it's not there, you can run a cable through to the tap to control it and have adjustable heat. its better than nothing.

So you want to use power to remove hot air, sort of the opposite of a turbo. Here is that goal in reverse, with a similar level of commitment required.
When I worked for a BMC dealership we fitted heaters to Minis. They were made by National Radiators and were completely useless. These and radios were extras along with those stick-on rear screen demisters. You could tell the ones I fitted,they were never horizontal.

A Christchurch north west wind, will turn the 280 aircon model, into a 280 heating unit. lol
Its all good, I will explore getting a heater put in the car at any rate, that will at least help in winter time
If you are heading north into a nor wester then close the passenger window and crack open the RHS rear window.

As for fitting a heater. Dont even bother with the Natra unit which was fitted to NZ built Minis. You need to find a genuine BMC unit which in the later models had a fresh air intake and eyeball vents in the dash/parcel tray area. For what they were they worked quite well.
