Peugeot heater

I wondered that m8 or would they sell me the whole loom which I think would mean taking the whole dash out!!

Cheers gaz. It's common on the peugeot the red supply wire melts the plug. It's seems what most people do is solder wires direct onto the resistor and crimp the wires back to the loom, as I don't solder I may try and find some individual connectors and put them on the resistor end and attach some wire.

Not had a proper read on the Zafira yet

So they must of come out of the factory with these resistors fitted

No, Vauxhall have said that owners that have never had repairs carried out on the heating and ventilation system fitted are not affected. At the moment the issues are restricted to aftermarket resistor packs not having the correct thermal cut out or in some cases not having one at all. Genuine resistor packs cut out when required removing any risk of fire.

Where did you get that information ?
