Davina air con

Many thanks! 

And oiled, cleaned and ready to install again. Cleaned up the endbell with a green scourer, awkward shape so not a great finish, although you'll never see it anyway! Should really have polished the outer mounting flange but again it'll never really be seen.

Runs nice and smoothly now, the best its ever sounded tbh.

By the way, how do you guys mount the relays at the back? I tried velcro but there's not enough contact area. Plus that other huge cable harness behind the glovebox. I've wedged that in with some foam

Fan fitted back now, seems to be running well! 

This id the broken thermocouple connection on the thermostat which I'm wondering about

Where exactly was that mounted?  Mine has a probe going into the box. I will see if I can find a picture

On the right side of the passenger undertray. The thermocouple just routes round to the bit covered in black mastic

I am intrigued... under my black mastic was the block expansion valve where the pipes join to the evaporator. Nothing else as I remember, hmmm 

Generic picture of this

Actually you could be right about the routing - I'll check again tomorrow and post up a picture. So you don't have that thermostat fitted? I can't even seem to identify it on the Diavia wiring diagram tbh

Found this, showing the

air flap motor top left.

Fan speed resistor pack below this

Shiny expansion block valve in the middle at the bottom

Far right on top is my temperature sensor which has the yellow plug.

Thanks for that. On mine, the thermocouple runs across and then towards the expansion valve, then disappears into the mastic

@Cressa, did you not have the thermocouple anywhere on yours?  I'm wondering if it is interconnected at all and if not, i'll just bypass it
