Hi,

I took out the pollen cab filter on the engine bulkhead,....gently put a piece of fencewire down with a bend 4" from the end.
Could feel the fan vanes,...gave them a wee twirl and the heater seems to be working again ( for the time being)..
Cheers.

Hi folks, My heater blower seems to have come to a sudden stop,...the usual slight squeel from low speeds then suddenly it didnt work at all. I have changed the FSR (hedgehog) but it just heats up when I try the blower on full power to try to kick it away. I see you can access these heaters from eng...

I had a wee look for water tracks,.. all pipes are clear,...  the only water I could see was a tiny amount on top of the satnav unit,..about quarter of a teaspoon ,...  down below in the quarter panel well, there was a tiny bit of moisture, just enough to make the small amount of dust and particles ...

Yup,...dampness,..... dried out the unit,..plugged it back in this morning and everything back to normal..

Cheers,

Jonny

Cheers for that info,... I just been to kitchen to move hairdryer back a few feet !!...

It has stopped raining ( Hurrah !! ) Took the spare wheel out and disconnected the battery for an hour. While I was waiting I had a closer look at the satnav unit in the boot and surprisingly it was a little bit wet on top ( where the hell did that come from ?). So I unbolted it and slipped it out a...

Went home, pulled into our driv...
