RAVE says to lubricate with neat antifreeze.

That is good news on both counts, as I have a dirty diesel.

Lubricate the o-rings? I seem to recall being told Vaseline eats rubber?

A Quick question..

How much coolant can I expect to leak into the car when I change the o-rings?

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..

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..

Secret screws and all?…😆

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

Thanks Richard. Good to know. I’ll crack on 👍

Just wondering if there is a better place to stick the aerial rather than on the heated windscreen, just in case the heated element interferes with the signal??

Bit of a long shot….

£60 + vat.. 👍

Top stuff!!

Welcome aboard…

I had the over heater warming twice, when the fan wasn’t working.
Once, when I was doing an off road Land Rover experience and the second time was trying to park in Lyme Regis.
No towing, but it was warm with pretty steep slow driving.

This is the one I haven’t changed, and am assuming it will stop the fan running all the time.

That’s the one I changed..

The fan had stopped working on mine…
I change the cheaper of the two switches, and now it runs constantly…
I was going to change the more expensive switch but it was £150ish so parked that idea for the time being.
If I can find the part no, I’ll post.
My thoughts were that running all the time in Summer is not the worst thing in the world.

True.. a few years back now.
I don’t get any comms from them to say there is an update. I did buy it direct from them.
