What I got.
Relearn Air Actuators

Have Air Con off.

IGN on, push and hold the rear demist button for about 5 seconds, you should hear all the actuators start moving.
Done it and so far it seems to be OK. Let see in the next week or so and the next time I disconnect the Battery.

Good money spinner the Actuators.
I have replaced all Actuators once so far.

No doubt if you replace one and have the dash open you replace the 4 off them. How $Mular$ for one of them or the lot of them

Tell me, does the VE have a filter before the air enters the cabin. I suspect the VE has and you possibly get to it under the Bonnet passengers side. Could be wrong about this.
thanks

Not all have the filter. If you have never bought one, it’s either rancid or not there.
They should be replaced about every 12mths.

I use a WesFil cabin filter which is almost identical to the Ryco. I do have to add some extra foam seal to the two top edges.

The cabin filter is located under the wiper shroud on the passenger side. There’s a how to on AutoInstruct.com

Only replace what is required.

I didn`t replace all at once.
Replaced when they didn`t work anymore.

When you lift up the plenum to do the filter, check the little tiny drain tube is clear. I had to clear mine out with some wipper snipper cord because I had a puddle in there...
