Climate control - no heat

Ady, is Northern Bongolow on here, and his favourite breaker seems to be these people http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/bongobits4u2012/ no personal experience, yet but others seem to be quite pleased with what they have acquired!

Thanks Geoff,I'll give it a go

I've been trying to imagine how on it could have been snapped off! Its not exactly in a place where a foot could kick it, nor does it stick out particularly far to get much leverage on it.
As to how to replace, really not sure, it might be easier to get a complete unit from a breaker and replace it as a whole, the entire heater box, especially given the violence that might have been applied to break the shaft in the first place, there may be further damage that your not aware of inside maybe - just a thought! Perhaps Ady's breaker of choice can do a unit at sensible cost ?

One theory is it hasn't been snapped off....?? Stay with me!!

At some point the front heater matrix may have been replaced/fixed & the flap assembly has been bundled back together the wrong way round....?

What you maybe looking at in the picture might not be a broken spigot bit, but the bit that sits in the hole the other side..?? I guess you wont know for sure until the heater housing is taken apart..... http://lushprojects.com/bongopartsmk2/c ... mgno=.html

I have seen a similar hash made on the rear heater flap where it was stuck on hot & i had to turn the flap over to get it to function properly!!!

In which case there should be a spindle sticking out the other side with a flat on it .....

Gents,thanks again for the good advice. I shall check whether it is in the wrong way round. Still more concerned I can't seem to operate the flap manually which means its jammed somehow.
I spoke to the guy at bongo bits for u and he looked at one whilst I explained the situation and he reckoned the dash needed to come out to get at the heater box!

I wouldn't disagree with you there Geoff... Looking at the drawing its hard to tell.. I never had the front heater housing apart... If it has just sheered off..?? I would have thought the servo would have give up before the spindle broke, if the flap had jammed??

[g8dhe]

Yup it wouldn't be the servo that snapped it! My thought was a foot but I can't quite see how, or maybe it was replaced with a damaged one previously ... who knows...
