I have a problem with the air supply inside my 97 xantia td.
No matter what setting I have put it at on the slider air is blown out at the same slow rate. It doesn't stop at the off position.
Any ideas?
I'm also going through about a pint of water each week with no leak noticeable.

Joe,
Not sure about the blower - seems likely that the slider has come adrift behind the controls somewhere, do not know best way to tackle this.....
As to the water loss - there are 3 favourites:
1. Radiator - run your hand along the bottom checking for any wetness / antifreeze gunk
2. Heater matrix - check the carpets inside the front of the car - damp smelling of antifreeze will give it away!
3. Head gasket - take the cap off with the engine cold - is there residual pressure, can you see bubbles coming into the header tank with the engine running, is there water in the oil or vice-versa.
Otherwise get the car good and hot and then open the bonnet and look / listen for escaping steam from small holes in pipes. 1 pint a week is quite a lot so should be fairly easy to spot!
