Ok, so after a few weekends of fiddling around with the A/C I thought I should report where I am. I went and had the a/c regassed but this made no difference as I feared it wouldn't. I then checked all the seeming appropriate fuses, also to no avail. Finally I cleaned all of the contacts on the plug that connects the motor and refitted everything, but still no luck. So I gave up, set the motor to its 'cold' position and decided I would just put it back to hot in the winter.
During the following week and our depressing weather, I went out in the car on quite a cold day. I didn't change the temperature settings inside the car, but once the engine had warmed up, I suddenly got a blast of nice warm air. This continued until the cab warmed up and then the a/c turned itself down and maintained the temperature! I got home later, removed all the trim (again!) and checked the motor for movement when the ignition was turned on. My key observation was that the motor I have does not move when the ignition is turned on. It only moves when the temperature is changed in the cab with the engine running.
The reason why it didn't move before but now does remains a mystery. I suspect it was something to do with the plug on the motor, but whatever the reason I'm a happy boy again now I can travel in comfort regardless of the temperature outside!
