I posted last week about my heater blower problems and have since updated it with a question about how I get to it.
I have ascertained it is behind the vents in front of the gear lever on top of the tunnel, but am wondering if it is a dash-off jobbie best left to the experts.

For the first time in my PHeads life nobody has given me any feedback. And before you all say look in The Bible - I appear to have temporarily mislaid it.

TIA

Well, chaps, thanks.
Someone else here said it had moved to my location and I phoned the garage and they too confirm this.

The problem is, I think the fan has seized as when I turn the blower knob it blows the fuse and takes out the fuel guage, oil pressure guage and makes the alternator charge light come on.

Don't trust Steve Heath, he says the rear lights are upside down fiesta units and they are not I can prove it.

Excuse me stating the obvious....

Heater & Fan are separate. Heater (matrix) is where you are claiming - fan (blower) is just where everyone has told you.


God I get more confused by the minute!

I think I'll take it to the garage, they clearly said the (fan) blower was moved around 1996. Oh why can't the summer be here

Okay then they're upside down back to front Fiesta tail-lights!


No they're not. Or am I missing something.

My head hurts.

And my bank account. Brian says 3 - 5 hours, and that's before they do the clutch master cylinder. I'm trying to do some of the jobs myself now.

But I have a bad feeling about this one.

OUCH!
Master cylinder under warranty? Just had mine done.

When your getting it done, could you not just get Brian to point you in the right direction regarding the blower?


Not under warranty Al, decided against one this year for the prices they were quoting, although after talking to you on the phone the other week, I might just try them direct.

I will get Brian to show me roughly where, and then assess the situation.
