On the heater air intake, the flap (above the motor) wants to stay closed, its very stiff to operate from the dial and closes but when turning to the open position it doesn't move the flap open again. I assume its cable operated but can I access the cable from the heater control panel? if not how do I check/free it up? Its a non-aircon 1999 S model Phase 2? thats another question - how to tell the difference between 2 & 3?

Do you have a top glove box you can remove? Im pretty sure what your after is behind that. My guess would be the cables caught on something or fell off the actual flap itself.

As far as I know, that flap is motor operated by the recirculation button.
The direction flap is cable operated, to adjust where the airflow enters into the cabin.
Edit - I can't read, thought it said air con model, my bad.

Always a bastard that. You had the heater matrix replaced? I had a few issues putting the dash back on with cables not doing there job.
