The control valve. In the tunnel, towards the front. Have fun...

wow you are on the ball tonight. I have all the floor removed including the footwells, does that help?
I take it is a ford part

An interesting project would be to install a VAG Golf/Audi motorised one instead, with the display

Don't be silly, I do know that Noble played with the idea so it must be fairly doable

Follow the heater hoses from rear to front, and around footwell area you'll find the heater valve.

Not a Ford part. AFAIK, not yet identified by anyone.

Before you replace the heater valve, check the control cable to make sure that it's not binding, or pushing on the lever on the valve at an angle.
