the resister pack (rheostat) or the thermal fuse on it has gone...

 

IE you have no resistance

 

Have a search on here and you should find some guides to fix this.

thermal fuse from maplins cost around £3 including delivery. Just have to be able to use a soldering iron (one end of the thermal fuse only).

 

You have to remove the shelf below the glove box. You should then see the fan in the LH corner. The shiney metal electrical connection is the fuse/resistor pack.

 

Remove the fuse/resistor pack by levering the metal plate away from the fan housing AT THE TOP. Its held in by a bit of sealant and a plastic 'groove'. Take off the 2 connections and then you can take the fuse/resistor pack out of the car to work on.

 

The thermal fuse looks like a resistor with a white pointy end. The connection at the white pointy end is 'crimped' to the mounting post (more like held in with a piece of bent metal clip!!). The other end is soldered on. Just replace this and away you go.

 

I got the gen off that link too. Approx 45 min job

I don't think so as its the only car of that age to have a 4spd setting, the mk3 is alot different. I managed to get a corrado from a scrappy for a £10er...
