Do a search for heater resistor...

 

If you have a bit of mechanical/electrical knowledge this can be fixed for pennies. Search resistor packs on here. Parts to fix can be sourced on here or from Maplins.

 

Partsd about a fiver on e-bay takes about 1/2 hr to fix if you can use a soldering iron ...plenty off posts on here on how to do it ...

 

It has been covered a lot of times and can easily be found on the search

the heater resistor pack is behind the glove box. 2 8mm bolts under the glove box and lift it out.

theres a connector plugged into the top of a sort of lid. Remove the lid by unscrewing the two screws (the screws were 6mm bolts in my old streetwise but posi screws in my ZS).

the resistors will be broken. if you do a search you can find the correct values for the resistors, tootle off to maplins and pick some modern resistors up for pence. Solder them on and problem solved. this is how i fixed the streetwise.

Alternatively if you dont feel confident soldering your own, searh for a heater resistor pack on on ebay and replace the whole part (used this on my ZS and my friends cars just to cut out the hassle of soldering)

 

Go spend 48p for a 0.56ohm resistor from Maplins and solder it in where the blown air wound one is.... a real cheap fix. I have just fixed mine.

I just fixed mines using these.....

that's dear... for 48 pence per resistor and a trip to the local electronics emporium you could have done it cheaper...BUT...I do understand that the kit is sent to you and needs fitting. Still seems dear to me.
