yes ive read the link thanks, when it dry enough ill have a look and see if the heater gets moved to all the vents first, but it sounds like the one that does the cold to hot is stuck. shame as never wanted to attack the dash as it immaculate condition, or even strip out the centre part. still gotta have heat.

the book light can go on for many reasons, start engine, turn aircon on, and see if the clutch engages on the aircon pump. its on the top right od the engine. if it doesn't then you prolly need to regas aircon.

i suspect its on for the blend motor tho!!!!

aircon blows cold on drivers side but not on passengers side, does that mean it blend motor then

yeah, i'm pretty sure it is, it's a bit of a cnut to do, but it is the easiest side to access. trouble is tho, they are usually 3 connected together. i reckon you can splice one in but how long before others go???

Changing the blend motors, are not as bad as you might at first think, when you read about it and what to do it seems like a nightmare, the job is easy enough and should only take no more than 1/2 an hour, the only problem i had is, that its just a tight squeeze getting them in and out

I was very lucky and got one from ebay for £20 i was the only bidder, and he put the add in the wrong place

or search flea bay for s/hand units single or sets.
