I agree - but does the heater control itself work? If it is really hard to operate when you turn the control knob on the dash then the heater control valve is definitely cream crackered. Be wary, there are apparently two types fitted on the TX2, a brass one and a black type - so order the appropriate one if it is definitely that. It could also be the cable control stuck or snapped - leaving it permanently in one position You get to it by taking off the fascia, remove any radio / audio equipment, and remove a metal frame. Be warned though - it can be a beeyach to get the hoses off. Now ask me how I know! Good Luck. |

by the way - there is only one valve to my knowledge http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_trksi ... &_from=R40 Use this link, and you will see both types displayed. |

Follow the cable from the temperature dial on the dash - it is def the valve behind your radio |
