Heater control slider, disappears inside!????

[LemmingLegion]

Ok folks, so I've had a look around at old threads, but am no closer to a solution. Please help

The problem is, that when I slide the heater slider, it doesn't have the right movement because it has a piece missing, which it 'hinges' on, almost could be described as a 'bolt' shaped object. If you see what I mean. And so, with it missing, the slider, now 'flaps'. (for lack of a better word.) And is very difficult to adjust.

Nothing I have tried to repair it with works, which leads me to believe, that I already know the answer. I really hope I'm wrong

Could anybody tell me, if it's possible just replace the piece thats missing, or do I need a whole new heater control unit?

Thanks in advance.

Replace the whole unit, it's not expensive and it's an easy job.

It pivots on a a pin with a very flat and thin head, which is retained in the housing by one of those push on axle type clips, with the internal tabs which grip the shaft.

I actually have the bit you broke, but it would be much easier to get a complete unit from Stormforce.

No worries, it was broke when the truck arrived, but it still works, it's just a bit of a bugger to adjust thats all..

Thanks for the help chapps
