I'm still with the BX (with all the problems). Am getting the ZX as a runaround though. Have been tinkering with minor things while another mechanic gives a second opinion and quote for repairs. The fuel lines and steering are being repaired next Monday. I have pulled off the heater fan and have seen that the main control flap is fine and opens and closes manually by just pushing the flap. However, the dial on the dash only works for closing the flap and will not open it. Any thoughts ?? I am in the frame of mind to simply cut the control cable and if I want to stop the flow of air then just shut each vent in turn.
Hanging in there with the BX... more advice needed please
all I can see is the two cables under the dashboard. One increses the fan speed and if I pull gentley it increases/decreases the fan no problems. If I gentley pull the other cable (flap control), it closes the flap without a problem, but if I try and open it, it just doesn't do a thing. I think there must be a problem with the actuating arm/sprocket that one of the forum people was kind enough to show me.

In which case, the clip has come off one end, probably that of the control box at the fascia. 'Tis a right bugger to do first time and you'll need plasters, I'll bet but all you have to do is remove the four screws around it and you will have just enough room to put it right. You'll need to find the clip, of course but once the radio, cash box and ashtray are removed, It'll be in there somewhere.
