When mine went the dealer was 2p more expensive than the parts factor and had them in stock.

Be cheeky and ask for a discount as it is a regular failure and must be a design fault.

Just had a quote for the resistor module - a wacking £135 with vat, must be gold plated- Anybody know the resitor values? I could make my own....

That sounds excessive!

If it is the same as mine (climate control module, sits above th clutch pedal and to the left) mine was only £45ish +VAT.

First of all what type of A/C do you have? Is it the fully automatic type or what?

My 2003 VTR C5 is simple aircon no climatge control and a 4 position fan -runs off or full on so am presuming it's resistor pack but £140 quid - no way!!!!!

Seems strange to me that a newer and higher model of C5 would have a simpler aircon than mine.

As said in the other similar thread, you should be able to repair that yourself quite easily. There are repair instructions for the Xantia variant here somewhere.

Yep, the other post covers much the same ground. http://www.frenchcarforum.co.uk/forum/v ... hp?t=27735

If the aircon has fixed speeds without ‘automatic’ setting, it may have a resistor pack where the fuse link blows; then only the top speed works, and none of the lower speeds work.
The silvery/yellow fuse is something like 170ºC, and available from electronics suppliers.
It usually blows when overheating from lack of air flow, and sometimes for no reason.

Excellent Cloggz - you're the man!
Exactly what I was thinking of but couldn't remember where.
