It can be accessed from the engine bay.

I managed to do it by just spraying the contacts with WD40, jiggling the connectors can work too if they are not corroded.

Let me know if you need any help.

Just had to change one so I took a pic just as I'd pulled the resistor out:

still cant find the f**cking thing doing my head in may be its time to get a garage to do it...do you have to remove anythink to get to it...

[Brianmoooore]

Panel above the glove box, then the one to the right.

[driverstu]

and then should i see it or is it at the back .should it be easy to reach.should it just be lose in there or is it fixed to anythink...

See Chris-W's pic. The big heater valve should be fairly obvious! The resistor pack clips into the heater box just in front of it.

[Chris-W]

You can't see it , but if you grab, just ahead of and above the valve, the wires that plug into it and pull gently chances are you'll know when you've got it as it will pull out very easily.

You may have the earlier type of heater box then. See Moz's link.
