borarob 0 Posted April 24, 2008 Hi, sorry if this has been covered elsewhere but I could only find info relating to the later style direction controls. I have an early C so has the sliders for windscreen, footwell, dash etc. The slider moves between positions ok but I'm pretty sure the movement of it makes no difference whatsoever to where the air comes from. I think it is stuck on dash vents only. Not too much of a problem with summer coming as the windscreen is hopefully not often going to need clearing. The blower itself works at all speeds and gets warm ok. Any help gratefully received. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boost monkey 0 Posted April 24, 2008 the slider has cables that come off the back of it and move different flaps in the piping behind the dashboard. Perhaps your cables are broken? These are now obsolete i'm afraid but I do have a spare with good cables if you need. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
borarob 0 Posted April 24, 2008 ok, I guess it will be obvious if the cables are broken - i.e. are the cables visible and tuggable to feel the slack? I guess I could somehow manually set the flaps so that they are permanently set to windscreen vents as that is the most important.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boost monkey 0 Posted April 24, 2008 yeah all the flaps have little cogs on them, so if you took the dash apart you could set them all manually. IIRC the slider panel just clips in so you should be able to see quite quickly if the cables are knackered. My sliders are quite stiff as I can feel the cables moving about, do your sliders slide without resistance? might be a sign that the cables are going.
