200tdi heater removal how to?pls help

hi bought my first disco recently and the heater only works every now and then the last time it sounded as if something was stopping the fan turning properly i need to know how best to take it out do i need to remove all the dash any help appreciated cheers chris

Yes, it does all need to come out and you will need plenty of time to do it - this is not an evening's work!!
The bearings on the motor will have seized (they all do eventually) and you can get a replacement from Paddocks. Even when you have removed the heater, it is still a difficult job to remove the motor and you will need a lot of patience - I suggest making sure you have a workshop manual handy and making notes of where everything goes for re-assembly. Probably needs a full weekend unless you are far more skilled than me!

Good luck, Peter.

cheers for your reply peter
