Prompted by someone else's troubles I think its about time I got my blowers sorted. Mine only run on max speed but after reading the wiki it gives the impression that aircon cars not only have a different resistor it maybe in a different position can anyone confirm this before I try to source a replacement cheers

Definetly a different resistor. It can be in one of 2 places. In where the blower is, or directly behind it on the other side of the bulkhead.

No. Dealer fit aircon (Diavia) is a different again.... mine is located on what would be the battery tray in the engine bay.
These are sensations as hard to forget as they are to ignore.....
