It's a 2000 on a W. No dials, LCD ? Can vary blower speed and temperature but not direction ?
Cheers Jim

Sorry, confused dot Pug, too many. It's a 2003 and has LCD, no dials.

So push button climate control, rather than twisty dial air conditioning. The flap is controlled by a stepper motor (read that as "very expensive box with a tiny motor and a few plastic gears inside" :roll: ), the one on the inlet flap is well known for being made out of chocolate but we don't hear much about the others. First port of call I reckon would be to check the connections to the climate control board.

If it turns out to be the vent flap/stepper motor, try http://www.neatcarparts.co.uk, got mine from them for around £79.99, quite a bit cheaper than Peugeot :)
