Just been for a ride out, it appears my heater controls have stopped working properly. Cold on the dial will always blow hot, no matter what. Any ideas what this could be?

I'm going to guess its your heater control valve. Only way to fix it is a replacement I think.

Wasn't there a problem with a heating pipe coming off in the centre near the gear lever?

Would that still be the case if the A/C button wasn't pressed?

i was going to say you'd know if your AC was gone as when you stick it on it's well not on

take her in to the garage mate certainly sounds to me your Valve may be stuck open for hot air

is it a pre facelift?

theres a little green clip that holds the adjuster in the back of the control knob, it breaks and comes off, mine did it many times, just needs pushing back in

Yeah, as above, it's not going to be the airconditioning if it's actually full on hot air. It will most likely be the switch.
