Or we could meet up at Springfields? About half way for each of us.
I've ordered a (cough cough) diagnostic yesterday. Should be here wednesday. I'll see how that goes first.
Thank you gentlemen :)
Well no power at the socket as its corroded in the obd socket.
Got a new socket arriving friday so i guees i know what im doing saturday :(
I have a Nano you can use if needed.
I am just up the M5 from Weston. J26 Wellington :-)
Welcome Jim - you snuck in the back door?
Cheers Rob. It’s all that Ninja training!
Very kind of you all. Thank you
Well that was a crap day.
No power at the obd port so had fun trying to trace the problem. There's no power between the engine bay fuse box and connector in the right hand footwell. Bollocks:(
Done a modification that draws permanent live from the radio constant live and Fed that to the DLC.
All working now and got a forced calibration initiated.
Didn't help. The blend flap is sticking by the looks of it and logging errors in the ecu. Bugger.
I think k I need to delve in there again. Boohoo:(
That'll make it easier to plug into, no grovelling in the passenger footwell.

I had same problem, it was a broken wire in driver's kick panel multi plug (brown IIRC). Previous owner had done same as you, drawing a live off radio. but they'd just twisted a wire on and not even taped it up!!!
If you've unscrewed the blend motor and checked the movement on the actual flaps and it appears that they are moving over the full range, it could be the feedback pot in the blend motor has a dead spot at one end. If you use your (un-named) diagnostic to look at the signal being returned from the motor while causing it to move from one end of the travel to the other, you may well find that is moves smoothly up to a point then stops. You may be able to sort it by pulling the blend motor apart and filling the pot with switch cleaner.

Indeed and can be left in panel when not in use.

Yes, it is the brown wire, although mine is before the connector.
Mine is soldered and heat shrink fitted. Proper job.

Need to remove the rear vent pipe first. As I don't fancy breaking anything again :(
Will probably strip again next weekend and watch what's happening etc.
Thanks gentleman
Well nothing happening today.
Bleeding weather.
Did change these on Thursday though
Yuk
Only about 8 months old
Bleah ... I am however impressed about the very fine filtering of the RRP38, regardless of the filter brand.
They look near new compared to some I've changed....
Lol, that's what I thought about the ones in it when I bought the car.
