I assume you're referring to the three heater control dials at the top of the centre console?
If so, '95 on Ford Escort Mk6/7. Usually about a tenner from a breakers.
Checked and you are spot on. Must be the aircon model though. Some escort came without aircon , so controls are different. Do the flicker/ wiper stalks and assembly come from same car ? If so, '95 on Ford Escort Mk6/7. Usually about a tenner from a breakers.

Yes, but as the Noble has no rear wash/wipe you need to buy the one from the 4 door saloon Escort. If you choose carefully you can pick one up with the 6 speed intermittent wipe if you so wish. It's a direct replacement. Blu3R said:

Another tip to remember - if you suddenly lose side lights or headlights, or they become intermittent while driving it is often the switch within the stalk. A sharp tap on the end of the stalk with something like the end of a screwdriver will often be enough to prove it.

BE VERY CAREFUL... Noble in their infinite wisdom didn't use the ford connectors to go with the wiper stalks (or indeed the rear lights) and so make damn sure you've got the wiring diagram handy, along with a strong neck.Chapppers said:

I can vouch for that one Another tip to remember - if you suddenly lose side lights or headlights, or they become intermittent while driving it is often the switch within the stalk. A sharp tap on the end of the stalk with something like the end of a screwdriver will often be enough to prove it.

I can see the top door handles are definately off a metro, but what are the bottom dish ones off, they do not appear to be from a metro.
Is there a part number or anything on them Chris?Closest I can find so far is:

I'm not sure on part number i am in the UK at the moment and i left my other ones in Cyprus.
I have decided i am going to get some new ones made, something a bit more modern and better looking out of oval polished aluminium tube.
They would start at the hole in the door card with a cover plate, and go up to the blanking plate where the window winders used to be.
I am going to get my exhaust guy to make a pair when i get back to Cyprus, i think i was going down the wrong route trying to make the stock platic ones look better.

Do what I did, walk around a shopping mall looking inside cars for the perfect handles etc. Then realise how it looks! I have decided i am going to get some new ones made, something a bit more modern and better looking out of oval polished aluminium tube.

Seriously though, there should be some very nice handles available from a breakers yard that would fit easily.
