I haven't had much chance to drive the FF in the dark since I had it but I noticed the other day that the control for the left hand side of the double facia air vents wasnt illuminated. Must be a blown bulb I thought so whipped the vent out the next day to see what type it was and the connector wasnt attached! Nice easy fix, but the wire was too short. The wire for both bulbs comes from the right of the dash and a previous owner had clipped the long wire to the back of the vent unit and plugged it in to the right hand light then not bothered connecting the short as it didnt reach. Easiest fix yet - just unclipped the long wire and swapped it to the left hand light and connected the short wire to the right hand and everything worked a treat. Now why cant all jobs be that easy..... QUID FACIUM TIBI

You have to wonder what the previous fitter of the vent was thinking, and what else they have not fitted correctly?

Buy Hey a free fix is the best!

Soz for what may well be a daft question but my 2012 Westminster has exactly the same fault with the right hand side vent control but as a total numpty with the spanners is it easy to get the vent out?
