Thanks for that Ronnie. Bit steep for me I'm afraid, they've sold on ebay for half that (and they've been clean :wink: )

Hello mr cream egg, as the forum states you have to post a price on the forum,I had no idea so I looked on eBay and there were three on it, at £45 £75 and &95 so I went for the middle one. If you are interested you can have it for £45 posted. I have it in the garage so I took a quick picture without cleaning it as I did not think it was that important and if someone needed one they could see past that.I notice no one bothered to answer you since you posted last Saturday until I tried to help and suddenly there are plenty of experts, but none offering any assistance.

You mean Wednesday.... 2 days ago!? It's also just a "timing" thing. Replies bump the topics back to the top too, so they get noticed more at that particular time.
Quick to be defensive, I didn't think anyone was on the attack - jamie_z4's comment could have been taken tongue in cheek too - I certainly didn't read his comment as an attack but hey, maybe I've got thicker skin.
Anyways, that being said, £45 is a much fairer price. You nver know who wants what, might be worth making a new for sale post with them anyway. GLWTS

Wasn’t trying for a sale just help a member but hay ho,
Hi Ronnie, don't worry about it, I wasn't having a go - hard to convey emotion accurately through text!
£45 sounds more reasonable to me - yours look nicer than the cheaper set on ebay!
I'll send you a message and we can sort out payment!

Remember they aren't a straight swap of fitting to a pre facelift as the circuit boards are different.

You need to get into the habit of posting what ever bits you have over lol. One mans left overs is another mans treasure
Plus you're a really decent guy to buy from
I lose interest with things very quick, so if it hasn’t got a home it goes in the bin
appreciate the feedback mate.IAmOrion said:Ducklakeview said:
That’s interesting - I didn’t know that! So not a straight swap then!?
Do the dials separate from the board? (Eg can the front be swapped)
The front and back housings unclip, then you need to carefully remove the pre facelift circuit board from your existing controls and fit it with the facelift housings.
I messed my first lot up when removing the circuit board and had to buy another pre facelift heater control. Fortunately they aren't too expensive.
Need to swap the front with the controls over to the old panel, otherwise the hrw, ac and fan won't work properly.

The pcb's are different, as is the connector pinout. So the new pcb can't work correctly in the older cars.

I put post facelift heater controls in a pre facelift. Mate of mine was updating his 54 plate silver grey plastics as he preferred the black stuff in mine. He bought a job lot of black plastics bits including heater controls and radio from an 07 plate at a breakers. Well all the bits were date code 07 anyway. I did think at the time we may have issues with the radio and the heater etc... but it was all just plug and play.
It sounds like there may well be differences between different ages of pre facelift so, with post heaters working in later pre cars. Doesn't make a lot of sense though.
