I just fixed a similar problem on mine. It was the duovalve internal rubber seal. The US models have a monovalve but it's basically the same thing.
Do a search on "monovalve" and all will be revealed!

To turn it all off:

Pop your hood, look NEAR the fuse box, its' not in there...it's beside it in a little black box all by itself looks kinda like this: ------[____]------ flip open the cover and uscrew both screws holding the little metal strip (fuse) and remove it. You won't have heat/AC at all until you put it back in...hope this helps...
