Default Something else under the bonnet

I have found a push/pull thing next to the coolant reservoir - it looks like you can set for summer/winter driving - can anyone tell me if thats what is for and which way around they are - it looks like up for winter to me??

Default Push pull thing

Typical isnt it. I have owned my 1994 Estima LuxuryX for the last 8 years, and have just found this site now I am looking at selling it due the the kids growing up and moving on.
Although the "Peasure Waggon", the MOT man has even written this name on the certicate as we allways call it that, has never missed a beat and has been a superb all round tool, I wish I had access to the clubs information years ago.
The push pull thing on the air intake I have never been sure which way is winter and summer. So thanks.
Mine also has a three pin male plug socket with a screw cover about mid way down the offisde sill underneath, anyone any ideas that its for?

Try having low oil and seeing if the top up tank works ,just a guess,have never relied on it as most dont work ,if you hear a motor kick in from under the bonnet,its working ,but really just forget about it and use the dipstick

dont worry about it and dont rely on it,best to keep a check by using dipstick under passenger seat.
You could top bottle up to max mark,and keep a check to see if it uses any at all,it wont use much,or very little if working correctly,between service intervals of 3,000 miles.
