I did a track day the other day and since then the heater blower is on all the time no matter what I do to the temperature and speed dials. Any ideas anyone or is this a trip to the dealer ?

I've got the opposite at the mo.Can't turn it on.
Waiting for a new ecu which apparently will sort it.
Maybe the same problem just differant symptoms.

this might or might not help, i had a normal car with same problem and was told that there is a resistor on the fan that goes to a "fail safe mode" and comes on permanently it was faily cheap to replace but did mean removal of fan. but could be different on tvr. hope this helps

thanks Wedget..I don't think it can be that because the other day, the fan was off (but now I couldn't turn it on) - basically the fan/heating system has a mind of its own at the moment. Looks like ECU I would guess !!
