Can someone kindly explain why the heater fan motor to fit the Defender is more expensive than virtually all other makes and models of vehicles, given that it 10x worse!!!!!

I'm at a loss!!!!

Profit. Basically they know that they're going to sell a shed load of new ones due to the poor original design. Ker-ching

I wonder if you could modify the casing to use a fairly large PC fan instead. They're 12v and move a fair amount of air at full speed.
