so here is another load
you may have noticed its hot n sticky and maybe you are wondering can i afford to put the air con on, will it work, has the gas disappeared with the angels share, will Greta fun-bag get all militant if i dare..
well sod johnny polar bear, im hot
i dared to use my air-con, and since i had a new condenser in April n a regas its still in there, and working,
but i hadn't heard that aux fan or air-con fan, you know the one at the front,
so i peered behind the curtain/ grill only to find the lecky motor was twitching like an epileptic and doing next to sweet F A.
and already knowing these are nowt like lesser cars air con that run as soon as it switched on,i thought id better look into the problem.
so a big thank you to @stustrong and @kds for your input, much appreciated.
ever the optimist i removed the slam panel n removed the fan pack, wondering can it be fixed.
yeah the lecky fan is a thing all right ,
heavy and full of witchcraft n horrible bits of faulty electricity and not repairable,
unless your names Hawking or Turing,
plan b, ordered a new used guaranteed unit for £30 delivered
gave it a clean up with tyre shine,
and Roberts your fathers brother
it works!
bonus
and its not as secretive as GCHQ anymore, i can actually hear it doing what it hadn't done for months
so i can now use the air con and burn up the atmosphere safely without causing any damage to my cars air-con system.
some say you need to remove the bumper,
nope simple job i had it all out / removed in under 15 minutes
the used part is from a petrol i believe and different part number,but as that cowl is different i swapped over the motor and used my cowl.
just be careful to stick your mits in the bumper gaps/ intakes and pull the lower cowl away from the condenser and inter-cooler, other than that,simples
heres some pics ..if it helps..
