I need a new heater resistor for my Croma Eleganza multijet, 55 plate. The garage has told me I can only buy one with the full heater unit and have quoted £150.00. Anone out there know where I can buy just the resistor?
I'm 99% sure the fan (and resistor) are the same as the Vectra C.
When I was looking at getting a replacement for mine, I took it out and had it next to me while googling and looking at pictures of the Vectra C one and I'm very sure they're identical. In the end I didn't order one though, as mine was rattling and I fixed it by cleaning and lubing it.
It's known for popping on the Vectra, so ebay's full of them, e.g...
£12.49 delivered, brand new. If you can get hold of the old one and it looks like the picture then you're sorted.
It's a DIY job, if you have nimble fingers, a small mirror to see a couple of the screws, a torch and an ability to stand on your head in the passenger footwell. I found a couple of the screws needed a torx bit with a 1/4" spanner instead of a driver, as they're right up where the floor slopes up to meet the glovebox.
