REplacement for the HAVC unit on a 3200

[The Adventures of Red19]

Is there any alternative to getting a very expensive new part for the HVAC controls in the 3200GT? Even used ones seem very expensive.

Is it shared with Fiat or Lancia somewhere along the line? Can't quite recall... Think I have seen them somewhere else?

That is most likely I have been looking at other FIAT group cars dashboards

The only place I have seen them elsewhere is on the MG SV. The carbon fibre bodied jobbie. Doubt that is any help.

Hardly surprising as they’re both in essence De Tomaso

Rarer than the 3200

Indeed.

The irony is that when it was the Qvale Mangusta the controls were different.

What is wrong with the one you have ? Possibly easier and cheaper to replace / repair the damaged parts rather than replace the whole thing. The rotary switches are a Bosch part from memory for example.

Probably a few places dotted around the uk that could test and repair the board if needed.

Somebody like these people for example :

The one for sale on Ebay (I believe from a member of this forum) is just GBP 495. To me, that is kind of a reasonable price for this control unit?

What's wrong with yours?
Is something broken? I see the tabs for the screws are in poor shape but that can be fixed.

I had a problem with the right button controlling the modes (the shaft broke in half), but I repaired it with some epoxy.
It is not too difficult to do. Just sayin, in case it helps.

except it's used and tired and visibly damaged, similar parts from other cars are only a fraction of the asking price.

Reviving an old thread here... Seems I'm in the market for a new control unit. Does anyone have any tip on where to look? Found one in France on eBay, but a bit pricey at €1,500.
