Cheeky I know but would appreciate any pics if possible. :y

Mine has been cold only on the drivers side for a couple of years now.  A couple of mates have had a look for me  but I dont think they fancied tackleing it.

Passenger side but makes more sense than the drivers side guide... It's a mirror image anyways. And access is easier for getting an idea of what's what.

But it can be fixed at the roadside. In the dark. With no tools.

There's not much to see, so working blind is perhaps easier...

But I was incentivised... Snow on the ground and more falling :D

I have just had another look at this. Cant find anything to move to the hot position from the current cold.
Worse though, near the centre of the pics above there is some black / grey foam visible. This is wet and there is a smell of coolant.
I imagine its either one of the two pipes leaking or the matrix ?
If so, Im not sure this could cause heat on n/s and no heat on o/s.  :-\

New matrix required.

Strip the centre console and driver seat. Then the carpet and foam and leave to dry.

When you do the matrix the man in the boat will become obvious and you can sort him out too :y

You might want to pull the carpet sooner. That coolant will get a taste for the floor pan.
