Hi guys

Just borrowed my friends car, 318 52 Plate, that he uses once every 3 months to find there was no blower and it was very hot inside. My friend said, "Oh yes, I pulled a fuse as the blower is on max all the time, even when the car is turned off".

Is there an easy Fix?

Cheers,
Smele.

easy to sort £50 'hedgehog' resistor and a bit of under dash grappling

Is there a more technical name than Hedgehog resistor, or can I just ask for one of those?

your local dealer will know exactly what you mean and will have a box full in stock... very common E46 /E39 issue

Ah, I see. Info passed on. Hottest day of the year, not a good time to be missing blowers.
