Hi All,
I need to change this motor, having already done the right hand side one, I am hoping this will be easier.
I am assuming the removing the glovebox and side panel will be enough to access? Will I need to cut any ducting this time??
Cheers
Yes you will, it's mirror image to the RHS but without the steering column and instruments to get in the way.
Secret screws and all?…😆
Errm, I think so. It's been a while since I've been in there, the distribution blend motor is the one that normally needs attention before the others.
I have done one without cutting anything. With glovebox out, undo any screws holding the ducting that obscures the motor. Then there's just enough room to move the duct & access the two motor screws.
You are much better than I Pete 😆
All done.. but the ducting was a PITA.
I also found the glove has little gas strut… which fell apart but I wasn’t aware there was one.
And to add to the enjoyment… the matrix o rings appear to be giving notice!
Thanks all..
The little gas strut stops the glovebox falling right down when you open it. When it still had gas in it, it damped the glovebox movement but the gas will have fallen out years ago.
But the matrix O rings are on the other side? What were you doing in there?
The blend motor was one part of todays jobs…
Some bulb needed replacing, a USB port thing in the ashtray and experimenting with an Android head unit.
Need another bank holiday next week really..
Bank holiday season is over now, you've got to wait until August for the next one......
Many years ago I worked for BT and the working week dropped from 40 hours to 37.5. Everyone said, big deal, half an hour a day, so they came up with the idea of the 9 day fortnight. So I had every other Monday off and one year, with Easter and the other spring bank holidays, I only worked one Monday in 9 weeks.....
I'm now self employed but semi retired so I choose to work a maximum of 2 days a week. I did 3 days one week and was knackered!
