I purchased a 95 Disco last summer not really paying much attention to the heater. When I tested the unit it worked. It blows and works on both sides. I guess because I'm in the South it felt hot. Well now its winter and the thing only blows warm/hot air on the passenger side. When I turn the nob for the driver side it seems "loose" unlike the other side when I turn it it feels like its turning something behind it. Can someone answer this?

The heater controls are known to break and more than likely that is your issue.

Had this problem with my '94 disco, the cable broke free from the control knob. I was able to put the cable back in place and secure it with a wire tie. Depending on the break you might be able to do the same.

If you pull your radio out you'll have enough room to look and see that most likely the little plastic clip on the back of suspect knob is cracked off. I reattached mine and used some heavy duty wire to secure it. Once you've pulled the radio and you have your flashlight, you'll see it's a fairly easy job to tackle. Good luck.. RS

Wonder how big a deal it would be to convert to a right hand drive.....

Pulled the radio and noticed a metal wire that has a coiled end sitting there. Turned the suspect knob and it aligned with the tip of the cable hitting it in the correct spot when making the circular motion. I am going to attempt to attach the two pieces together and secure. Thanks for the support. Lastly, I have a post about securing the stereo in place I have taken the suggestions of the people on that post and it seems that my stereo keeps sliding out is there more than what it seems or am I making it harder than it should be. I checked the stereo by getting a jewelers flat head in there and turning it clock wise and watched the motion of the clips widen and then move forward. So I attempted to try this in place and it seems that it wont take. Do I need to push the stereo further back?
