You have 5 problems to fix

1. The heater valve needs replacing
2. You need to re-solder the joints on the back of your heater control (all of them!)
3. The resistor in the blower motor may have blown, replace it
4. The dash flaps need to have the seals replaced or it won't flow air properly anymore,
you have no control over where air is going?
5. The AC unit acts as a filter and can block up with leaves, you will hear them making a noise
and I have devised a simple method to remove them

These are common faults and well documented over on the st162.net site
There is even instructions on how to replace the flap seals using old car tubes on my car thread

this might help - I took some pictures when I re-soldered mine 6 months ago. You can see the failed solder. I also lifted a trace - so that's the big blob to fix the lift.
I didn't do all of them so I missed a few issues and had to take it out several times. So basically re-flow all of them to save yourself headaches.
