Hey all, a how-to with pics of how to do this would be excellent. (for a pre-plexed 206 without climate control)
other members have told me rough steps but pictures speak 1000 words

take the glovebox out [couple of torx screws]
Set the heating to recirculation [the slidy thing, to the right hand side], then you should be able to access it
Turn the resistor and pull it into the duct. Disconnect the wiring, and remove the resistor.
Then refitting is just the reverse, basically

Final Update:
It was indeed the blower motor resistor stopping both the blowers and the air conditioning from working. I purchased a new one from pug (about £20) and fitted it to solve the problem. Upon removal it was obvious that the old resistor had blown (one of the coils had broken)
I found fitting the resistor to be fairly easy and followed this method:
1. Unplug battery
2. Remove glovebox, first the lid (unclips) then the screws (6 screws around the outer edge, 1 hidden on the inside top of the box) then the box pushes down and out
3. The blower motor is located to the right hand side behind the glovebox. unclip the plug from the motor, then turn it 1/4 CLOCKWISE. it feels very stiff but suddenly unclips and comes loose.
4. Look into the pipe and you will be able to see the silver resistor attached to the top. Reach into the intake pipe and turn the resistor to free it from the pipe, then pull it into the pipe and unclip it from its plug (the hardest part).
5. Plug the new resistor in (also difficult with 1 hand) and put it back into the top of the pipe, then refit the motor by turning it 1/4 ANTI-CLOCKWISE.
re-connect the battery and all blower settings and the air-con should now work (mmm icy cold )
This procedure worked on a 1.4 (Y) reg 206 and was far easier then attempting to use the air recirculation pipe (found it way to small for my hands to get in) but may be different for other makes and models
