Quick summary of the heater controls:

Top slider controls how much air flow goes to the upper half of the system - basically the screen and face vents. If you want screen you set the slider between the middle vents to the windscreen symbol at the top and for face level you slide it down. It can be set part way in between. You also of course have individual open/closed on the end face level vents.

The lower slider is to allow air to the footwells. You can basically consider the system as two parts with a shared fan and temperature control, although the top gets cool air while the bottom gets warm in some conditions.

In terms of buttons you have one for recirculation which means fresh air from outside is not drawn in, one for demisting which overrides all the other controls (apart from the slider between the centre vents) and blows max fan speed, max heat with all output to the windscreen, and if you have air-con one to turn the cooling on.

Being an S2 with the numbers round the temp dial it will maintain a set temperature regardless of outside temp and vehicle speed so long as you don't set it lower than ambient temperature. If you have air-con and turn the cooling on then you can get control to lower than ambient temperature.

That's basically it, if I explained it clearly enough.

Fen is this the same for an 86 Lux?

DON'T WORRY!! I have opened it in 'word'. Sorry guys - I know this is not a computer forum.

But if anyone has some vista recovery-discs for my Acer laptop I would be chuffed...

Interesting Vista and the Haynes manual are being discussed in the same thread....
 
Only difference possible with oval dash Lux models is that if you have the blue/red marking rather than the numbers round your knob (stop sniggering at the back!) then it will not maintain a temperature but will blend warm and ambient air to proportions determined by the temperature setting without adjusting for vehicle speed or ambient temperature changes.

Shall I tell you about the fantastic teapot I saw yesterday? It was made of chocolate. [:D]
 
A friend of mine with hard drive issues bought a usb hard disk and removed his laptop pc hard drive and swapped it with the one in the USB drive. Installed the OS on the new disk in the pc and recovered most files from the old disk in the USB drive might be an option if there is something you dont want to lose. he then formatted the original drive and used it for non essential stuff in the usb drive (movies and music)

Sorted it. Made recovery discs from my daughters Acer and fed them into my Acer. Three hours later my laptop is functional again - but thinks it's a different model! Least it's not in the bin...
 
Back to the air-con. My 'panel' seems to be different to that shown in my 'Handbook'. Which is the air-con button? See pic...

Oh! I understood that the red/blue graduated controll was 'normal' heating / ventilation, and the 'numbered' was air-con. That explains why it doesn't feel like a fridge then.
 
It's a common misconception but on air-con cars there are two half-buttons, one with a snowflake on it. In spite of the slightly "functional" execution it wasn't an afterthought as the first oval dash cars were Turbos with air-con.

Like this one. Two half buttons on the left, the one on the right turns the A/C on

What is it in that car you want? The 968 cubby hole is a dealer part. It used to be on back-order for ages but supply might be better now. I think it's £40-£50, plus the clock of course.
 
I must be such a show off as I have all three [8|] - a normal cubby, a 968 cubby for one gauge and a blanking plate for 2 gauges. When I have some time I'm going to fit my gauges up in one of the central blower vents then I can have my full size cubby back (which I miss because of it's usefulness)
 
I'm also a cubby fan and don't like the compromise (even the 968 one as I used to fit wallet and phone next to each other in the full size one) - the door pockets are next to useless after all, at least if you have them full of speakers.

That said I prefer ventilation to gauges also, but in the vent can look quite neat. It's a shame the black strip isn't just 10mm thicker as then I think you could set 55mm gauges into it.

Right. I will sweat in the summer then.

I have a black 86 Lux, no aircon, acres of beautiful shiney glass work. Does anyone remember summer? (The one really hot weekend we had about 3 months ago - that was all of it!) Took the car and a ladyfriend for a 60 odd mile round trip, and we literally arrived slightly dripping. Opening the sunroof didn't really seem to help, and the windows are too noisy when open at speed. Beautiful sunny day it was, and she still loved the car! (As indeed do I). MOT & service in December though, and I am slightly fearing that. Hopefully things won't be as expensive as I'm fearing they might be...

Cheers all,

Giles
