Almera heating - A Dent{P}
I've just collected an Almera 1.8 with aircon.
The manual air temperature control doe's not work. It has air con (it worked when I originally drove it). The control can be turned but on the cool air setting where it should allow outside air it just continues to pump out hot air. I think the aircon still works because it cleared the screen dead quick this morning.
Anyway, the dealer will sort it, but I'd like to know how big a problem this is going to be. Is it a simple pin that has sheared or a new heater unit that is rquired? any ideas?. I dont think there is a Haynes manual on it yet but I'm off to Halfords to find out.
I won't get back on this until monday.
Thanks

Thanks.
If that's all it is I'll be relieved.
Also, I will come back on this when it's fixed.

Full marks to Aprilla.
The cable just came off. I dont think the dealer even replaced anything. I spoke to one Nissan dealership (always knowledgeable) who said it has been known for the retaining clips to break.
Anyway, all is right now.
