Hi all,
My blower motor has packed in. There are 12 Volts and a good earth on the poles but it refuses to run. Is the motor repairable and if not: what would be a good substitute? A motor from a Defender perhaps? I have a LandRover dealer not far from here.
Thnx
best regards
Guus

Thnx best regards Guus Hi Guus I used the internals from the front blower to repair my rear heater blower earlier in the year, the field winding's had burnt out  they were slightly different the front armature/field coils were a better construction than the rear! It's worth taking your motor apart and having a look  |

The motor (Smiths) was used from approx 1948 to 1990's in most British cars so plenty out there! even new

Hi all,
After closer examination I decided to buy a complete new unit... But how on earth do I disconnect the blowerunit? All screws seem to be unreachable!
Thnx

Thnx Guus Guus are you trying to remover the motor or the complete blower unit? From memory its three nuts to remove the motor/fan and the bulkhead fixings are then accessible through the motor aperture. |

Ah, ok! Yes I want to remove the complete unit! In my case the motor/fan is fitted with pop rivets  , so I will have to cut them out! So after removal of the motor, I will be able to access the screws that holds the overall unit. Thanks John! |
