Front windscreen blower on strike

Post by Keswick » Sun Jul 13, 2008 8:01 pm

Our front windscreen blower doesn't work but everything else does. Can anyone help guide us on what to do to put this right? I can't see a factsheet covering this stand alone problem.

If all your other blower settings work ok, it could just be the linkage detached, check down in the LHS of the drivers side footwell, I think this has come up before.

yeah sounds like the linkage to me.....

mine did that, it should clip back on, but you'll need a spring clip for the end of the rod, or I tapped mine and put a M3 nut on it

Your time is much appreciated Kirsty, it really is. I will show Andy the photo tomorrow so he can be sure what he has done is right!
