Got a 2008 Freelander 2.
Driving along today and the heater blower started humming. Very quickly it got deafeningly loud and then the whole car started vibrating. Switched the blower off and back to smooth silence.
When I took a look under the bonnet, I can see that part of the fan has disappeared and it looks like a stick had got in there and jammed itself destroying the fan.
Not a major problem, I thought, until I looked at the Haynes manual. According to that, you have to take the whole dash out to get to the heater motor!
Has anybody taken the motor out without removing the dash? Any hints (apart from not switching the heater fan on).
