Ok, since I've had my Z, I have not been able to get air to blow out of the vents at the top/back of the dash :( I've been putting off the repair because I cannot be arsed to bust my back trying to get up under the dash. However I'm getting a bit bored of guessing where the road is at night!! :kamikaze:

When I press the demister button, the air comes out of the "face" vents. When I did my retrim, I found that the pipe that connects the air flow from centre console to door vent was basically just forced roughly into place. (I've yet to find something that someone hasn't f##ked about with yet) Anyway, is it possible that there is another connecting pipe off, or is it going to be something electrical?? I think I read once about some kind of heater diagnostic?? But can't find it. (although it's quite possible I dreamt about that)

I cannot be the first to have this problem, surely?? :)

How ya doing mate. No you wont be the first one, but!......This is one of those problems that without the car sitting in front of us, it will be hard to offer an opinion. Does the fan kick in when you select windscreen? what happens if you select auto? At anytime can you hear the fan speed up?

 

If you are passing by Thetford at anytime soon, I will give you a hand if you require it. I have plenty of spares and tools. I'll keep an eye on the thread mate, good luck. Tony

Thanks tony, I may well do that. I thought you had moved Wales way?? The button beeps and if the fan is off when I press it, it comes on but just towards your face.

Yes mate, I now have a week day address in North West Wales but will manage to get home most weekends so you're welcome to pop round.

 

So it sounds like the fan is coming on and your pod is working but the air box is not directing the air to the windscreen. I can't remember if the windscreen vents are permanently open and its just the screen fan that comes on when selected or it uses the same fan??? I will have a look at the box tomorrow mate and see if I can work it out. I have recently stripped out the air box and gubbings from my other ZED and its sitting in my garage.

 

Hopefully someone will be able to help in the meantime. Come on peeps, winters coming!

That would be great mate, thanks for the help.

I don't suppose you know the guy that breaks our cars in thetford. Andy, I think? I've tried phoning and msg him via eBay in the past, but can never get a reply :(

He would be a useful contact to have, I think ;)

 

 

Edit: by the way sorry for the slow replies, I'm not being notified via email of my subscribed thread posts??

Hope that helps.

Yes mate I know Andy/supercarparts. Lives about 5 miles outside thetford in the sticks. He can be hard to get hold of mate as he is always out and about or in his workshop. He got rid of his ZED and now drives a Jag xkr.

If I was a little more intelligent it would help no end ;)

Ok, I've scanned through the relevent sections and although a little complicated, I will try and check it out tomorrow ( if I get time, day at the zoo planned) thanks redwine.

Silly boy ;) I think I have his address somewhere, from when I tried to get hold of him in the past. Is his workshop in thetford, can I just pop in??

No mate, you have to go round to his house. Basically he has a mechanic that strips the car', some bits are at Andy's in his workshop in the garden and large bits are sometimes left at the yard. He has been a reliable person to know, just got to get hold of him!!

Cool, I'll have another try at getting hold of him.
