Default 360 problems

My heating system isn't working properly, I can't slide the direction adjuster over to demist, it has loads of tension and when I let go it springs back to the up/down setting, luckily this is enough to demist the front windscreen. But also no heat comes out at all, I can put it on full hot and it will just blow cold.

I'm currently sat waiting at the MOT station as it is having its first test in 9 years!

Mine is the same. Holding it to the defrost setting it will spring back to the left - probably about the same as yours. I do get some hot air to the screen.

I'll be following this
