Gidday,
When I turn the fan motor on it seems to run slow and the volt meter jumps, after approx 1 min it stops alltogether. Obviously stuffed, how easy to replace. Looking at it it seems the whole dash has to come out.
Cheers
Ross.

yes i had a problem a bit like yours my advice is take it to a auto electrician you will more than likely find its a problem behind the glove box any way they dont charge much to find a fault then you can decide wether you can do it yourself

Ok sound like the fan motor. The whole dash does not have to be removed though. Remove glovebox, remove console, remove instrument panel attaching screws and push it back to get at the footwell ducts, remove vacuum motor, remove fan wires, remove footwell duct assembly (the big plastic assembley that the fan etc is in), remove fan retaiining clip and fan. Be careful not to lose the fan wires (attach a string or wire to pull them through the hole) or damage the duct case seal. Allow yourself half a day to do it. A lot of fiddly fasteners to find, undo and replace and hard on those with bad backs but if you take your time its not too hard.
