ok so i want to know how i can go about fixing this f*cking frustrating issue...

the little knobs on my heating/cooling control has snapped off my dash... would i go to an interiors place to get this fixed or....?
the actual stick that you move to change from hot to cold has snapped in half and its stuck on cold... and i'm freeeezing! i have to use a key to jam it in there and move the bloody thing.

also, as i've just purchsed this car a few months ago with 180,000km on the clock how many more k's can i get out of it before it dies on me?

yes i'm a noob.

Mate your car wont die on ya if you service it regularly like every 5000km and depends on the conditions of the engine if the previous owners abused it . Gl finding a new dash for your civic

as above, it depends on the engines condition before it 'dies'. service it regularly and you should be able to make it last.

you'd have to replace the air con/heater control unit.
