fan heater

Post by thebakerfamily » Sun Aug 03, 2008 1:18 pm

Can we swap the rear heater fan for our front one, as the front one seems to have packed in.

we know it's not the resisitor but the motor has seized.

thanks

It's an easy job to take it out & strip & you may find it's repairable. mine went not long after getting mine, a good clean up of the bits - regreased & it worked better than ever :D .
Check the drain is clear at the bottom of the windscreen in the middle, if it's blocked it seems to overflow on the fan motor.
I'm not sure about the rear motor being compatible, I'm sure with a bit of firkling, it coud be made to fit as it seems to be the same sort of size from memory, I've not had them both out at the same time though to compare.
You can't polish a turd - but you can roll it in glitter.
