Heater issue? Cold feet but warm everywhere else

[Somnambulist]

My Clio has decided to start blowing cold air on my feet (drivers side only, passenger is fine), constantly. Even when the heating is set to warm and I'm getting warm air everywhere else in the car, my feet are getting cold air. It doesn't matter what setting the heater unit is on and where the air is supposed to be directed.

Not sure why this has started? I changed the coolant 3-4 weeks ago but haven't done anything else. Any advice greatly appreciated!

Could be one of the mixer motors on the airbox?? The little motors that move the flaps to change the air direction. Pretty common fault, I used to work for Renault and we used to change a fair few on various cars.

Thanks @General Dave, can you point me in the direction of the airbox please? Hoping I don't need to pull the dash apart too much!

Wouldn't that be only on the ones with CC? OP looks to have a trophy with the manual controls.

Ah fair enough, maybe a snapped cable then or maybe the cable has popped off either at the control panel or airbox end?
