JeffR Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 How the hell do you take the heater and fan control knobs off a 200 tdi disco? I've tried pulling em, gently, less gently then fcukin viscously. But the buggers will not shift. What am I missing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 probably a spring clip inside the bit which slides on the switch shaft item 5 in http://lrcat.com/#32/4/45472 in my info for 300tdi models it says pull the knobs from the rotary switches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigelw Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 They just pull off. You may need to get a set of vice grips, the needle nose ones, on the little metal bit and then another set on the actual knob and then wiggle wiggle wiggle. Be gentle with them though as I wrecked a speed controller switch getting too heavy handed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigelw Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 If they have been off a number of times they get loose but nothing more than a bit of blue tack is required or even chewing gum. Mind you, what else did you expect with the mountain of bodges discovered so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
