yes for sure the symptoms you got there (only works full speed) are a classic heater resistor style failure

what year/model etc is it >?

Hi, don't know whether you ever managed to get the problem fixed, but I have the same issue. I just found your post whilst pileing through looking for a guide to change the heater resistor. I got one off ebay, and know that its located passenger footwell, but need reassurance as to how to change it. Just thought I way be of help, even though you've probably fixed or maybe even sold your motor by now lol!

Might be worth sending him an email or private message.

Hiya mate...Its just a case of pulling the plug out of the square box and unscrewing it...nothing can go wrong ( famous last words ..lol )....will take you about 5 mins...

I did have a bit of an issue with the plug where it goes on to the box...it had melted and burnt, so i had to butcher the plug...worked in the end though...

Hope yours is a quick change...
