Hey I recently bought a second hand 94 nissan navara dx and can't road worthy because the heater core is disconnected. I am not sure if it has been disconnected by previous owner because it wasnt working but im wanting to know how to reconnect it to see if it's working and if it isn't then how to replace it. I can't see the heater core or Evan see if it's there because it's behind the dash but all I know is that under the hood the hoses that are supposed to be going to heater where gone when I got the car.

The core probably needs to be replaced if it was disconnected because it was leaking. Normally that is what people do instead of fixing it. You can ddrive it like that if you want as long as hoses are by passed in engine. We don't have the navara in US as it's a right hand drive. I'm sending for a pickup here in US which is similar to your truck except LH drive. Removal would be similar as dash has to come out.
