New Heater Problem?

[jacktar]

Hello everyone. I'm brand new to the club, (Yesterday) but I already know from reading the posts that the heater resistor problem has been well discussed, however my glitch is a bit different. Yes, positions 1 and 2 don't work. I have put up with it because I didn't know about the resistor.(I thought it was a bum switch.) but what is happening now is 3 and 4 are just going off completely for no reason, leaving me with no heating then coming back on again suddenly some time later at random. I have visions of having to strip out the console to try to find a bad connection somewhere but I'm now wondering if it could also be to do with the resistor.

 

I want to buy a resistor to at least try it but this leaves me with another problem. I don't know which one to get because I don't know for certain whether my MC1 1600 Auto Aerodeck is a mk.4 or a mk.5. ((It's 1999 but Europarts keeps telling me it's 1998)

 

I would appreciate any help any advice with the heater problem and any info about the mark.

It's quite easy to remove John, although I know what you mean about getting into some funny angles in the footwell......................I tend to get stuck when I try to fix things up behind the dash and stuff now! lol My sister lives in County Durham in Spennymoore. I'm not down that often but due a visit sometime soon I think, so could maybe help you out if it's not been done by then

Give me a shout when you do Dave... Not too far from me
