Peugeot 406 Heating problems.

Just bought a 96' 406, but I'm having a few problems with the heating. There was a large white plug under the dash on the passenger side that was disconnected. When I plugged it back in there was a buzzing and a clicking noise coming from behind the dash. I have found the problem on Google.
Apparently there is a motor that drives a air intake flap under the pollen filter and the teeth tend to sheer off of the cog. It was connected via a brown three wire plug which when disconnected stops the noises.
The other problem I have is the heater control dial, which will only turn 2/3s of the way round, meaning I am only able to get cold and warm air, and no hot.
Are these two problems linked in any way?
Could it be that the direction flaps are just jammed or broken, which is causing the noises and stopping the heat control dial to not be able to turn fully?
With the winter coming up I would realy like to get this sorted, before I need to use it.

The only way to know is to pull it out and investigate. As for the control, perhaps its been removed and reattached incorrectly.0

I have had the dash apart and found a few erm, after market modifications....
