Heater blower

Post by dannymondo »

Hi all
Cab heater was working fine then , stopped working , seems like heater is still going, but fan/blower stopped.
Later fan started working but is making funny noise like something causing blockage or something.
Any thoughts , hopefully don't have to remove whole dashboard etc.

cheers

Had to do it last summer and although it feels like open heart surgery, there's plenty of great advice on this website (I was talked through step by step over a period of about a week)!

Best to bite the bullet and get the dash out - replacement motor is about £30 on fleabay.

Don't buy a replacement one until you know whether you need to or not. Might just need a good clean and lubricating. Do a 'Search' and look in the club 'wiki' for various former threads and advice.

Brickwerks sell brand spanking new ones if you do have to completely replace the unit
