Default Re: Heating and Air Con Problem

Now I need to select hot or cold before I start the engine because once I get moving the heating controls have no effect at all. The good old electrician has offered to have a look at it for me again but he says that he thinks I need a replacement heating control system which costs over £600. A grand to be able to choose the cabin temperature seems expensive. Can anyone offer any insights or advice.
There are two valves, one for the passenger side and one for the driver. Which valve did he replace or was it both?
You say you have to select hot or cold, does that mean turning on the AC switch?
