Update on this. I got the rheostat replaced today and it did indeed fix the problem. It was just a shame it took them 6 weeks to get the part in!

Its a 172.

Sorry to bring back up an old thread but I think I have the same problem. I've been told by a garage that they think the rheostat is broken, is the rheostat the same thing as this resistor? If not how can you tell if the resistor has gone?

Took it to an indepndant garage today and they tell me that all the signals are going into the rheostat but not coming out. To replace it is £163 inc fitting but there are not sure it will fix the problem. Anyone more technical than me know if this could be the likely problem?

OK, I'll have to get it checked out. If I have the CC unit off and then turn it on should I hear a relay click? If so and I don't I guess that's a pretty good inidcator that it is the relay that's the problem.

Just come home from work and my air vents in my 172 are not blowing out any air despite the fan on the CC being up at it's highest. In fact it doesn't seem to make any difference whether the fan is on high or low, the temp setting is 16 or 24, the ac is on or off nothing comes out of any vent...

An update, after having this work done yesterday I get in my car this morning to find ....... The trip computer had reset again AAAARGHHHHH!!!!!

Did you get this replaced? Mine was diagnosed as the same problem and went back today to be fixed, I have just got the car back and of course what ever they had to replace now means my car is showing as 10 miles not the 24600 odd it was showing when it went in. I phoned the dealers and...

Mine is doing the same, it only started recently so I had put it down to the recent cold weather but now I'm not so sure.

Endsleigh are a pretty big company, they sponsored the Football League for a few years during the 90s. Couldnt tell you how good they are though.

Sounds a little high for a private sale, I just bought a 52 Reg 1 owner black 172 from a Renault dealer with the same miles in immaculate condition for £8,600.
