Almera heating - A Dent{P}

I've just collected an Almera 1.8 with aircon.
The manual air temperature control doe's not work. It has air con (it worked when I originally drove it). The control can be turned but on the cool air setting where it should allow outside air it just continues to pump out hot air. I think the aircon still works because it cleared the screen dead quick this morning.
Anyway, the dealer will sort it, but I'd like to know how big a problem this is going to be. Is it a simple pin that has sheared or a new heater unit that is rquired? any ideas?. I dont think there is a Haynes manual on it yet but I'm off to Halfords to find out.
I won't get back on this until monday.
Thanks

Probably something v. simple like cable end has come unhooked or retaining clip has come off.

Thanks.
If that's all it is I'll be relieved.
Also, I will come back on this when it's fixed.

Full marks to Aprilla.
The cable just came off. I dont think the dealer even replaced anything. I spoke to one Nissan dealership (always knowledgeable) who said it has been known for the retaining clips to break.
Anyway, all is right now.
