Hey guys,

I've noticed the amount of air coming out of the vents in the dash is getting lower and lower with time, although I can hear air being pushed through behind the dash is just as strong as always, does anyone know if the passages to the vents can get blocked at all or if there's another reason for this... with winter here already it's a pain tryin to clear up the inside of the screen in the mornings... It blows hot air fine but just very little of it!

Cheers

The vents are supplied by flexible ducting inside the dash, this could have come apart or collapsed causing an air leak, the other option that the air intake in the engine bay underneath the wipers is blocked

Filter's been changed pretty recently, don't think the problem lies round that area, i was hoping it would be something that didnt require digging behind the dash but I guess I'll need to have a look there. Havent got my haynes on me for a few days so i'll prob leave it for a while, is the dash easy to dismantle? Has been a right pain doing it on other cars i know...
