cheers,tony,thought id give the end result on here and thank you all for your replies...
All this TEC2 baloney, it's a pain in the butt ain't it, it has to be used on my Saab for almost everything as well.
Question Author
yes its a pain mate...i believe opcom is a cheaper option and can be used to do pretty much all the same...not certain but seen it come up alot on some forums...
opcom, haven't heard of that before, I'll have to look out for it.

ok ....thanks for your views/help on this issue mate...all the best...just got try sort heater blowers out now...i know the drain hole on these vectras under the windscreen get blocked which then sends the water down inside the footwell all over the blower motor and resistor etc...the drain hole was not blocked at all.pollen filter dry,carpet dry...so hopefully just the resistor itself which i hear are very common...im thinking of removing the motor connecting to wires from the battery to the motor terminals see if it spins round to check the motor is still running.....
Good luck with the heater then anthony.
