some of the levers and cables pop off at the ends. so you need to look at them first.

I have had a similar issue with mine. You will need to get your head down into the drivers footwell and find a cable operated 'cam' type affair. This is located (sort of behind the radio/ashtray).

You can grab hold of this and operate by hand from there. When you do it check to see if the control knob on the dashboard moves. If it doesn't your cable has come adrift and needs to be re-attached. You can have a look at it by removing the radio, but to reattach it, the plastic moulding holding the radio, ashtray and cup holder etc will have to come out.

Its a bit of a fiddle, but you can get to it and reattach the cable properly if nothings broken or by bodging it like I had to.

whip the front off first and check the heater controls, as Zippy says sometimes the cables com adrift.....are you getting air to face and footwell separately when those positions selected?
