Daft questions, but:

1. Are the dashboard vents open? (the wheels next to them)
2. What about the footwell and windscreen vents?

If the vents are open and there's no air coming from anywhere regardless of setting, then I can only guess there's something wrong with the distributor unit :(

managed to have a better look and it does look as though its has something to do with the distribution part of it, the recirculation unit works fine as does the fan, the distribution unit seems as though its ok as i can hear it change when selecting different positions but theres no change at the vents side, a small amount of air comes from every vent there is

So it sounds like the distribution unit's gone up the swanny :( I've had a jolly good look but I can't find any details on what's inside the box or how to get to it, all I can suggest is remove the glove box and see what you can see :?
