Well, summer's here, and so is the heat. My Super has decided to vent hot air in my face for no apparent reason.... or so I thought.
Had a look under the plastic cover between false firewall and windscreen base.
It appears the plastic crank attached to the cable from the stepper motor (which regulates the proportion of heat fed through the ventilation) has snapped at the 90 degree bend (i.e. the crank arm has split away from the shaft going into the drum assembly).
Any thoughts as to how difficult this is to get at? Is it easier to remove the entire distribution drum assembly? I am wondering how much rotational drag load is on the drum, I am speculating whether a wodge of epoxy shoved around the broken bit might suffice... if I can get my hand in far enough!
Or is it even worth attempting?
I am more than a little irked that an entire weekend's work will be required to replace a 50p plastic part....
