While teaching myself how to dismantle the console I realised that my winter windscreen anti ice sheet was still in the little pocket behind the control module......it was blocking a vent! I'll now assume that vent covers the temp sensor.....Item removed and heypresto....ice cold air and pipes!
Assumed the worst and thankfully was pleasantly surprised at an easy fix for a change.
A great feeling when what you thought was going to be an expensive fix is fixed for free.
