RR Classic Heater Blower - quick way of removing?
Alex
get it out without removing the complete dash and heater box? Unlike
the earlier model the blower seems to be inside the heater box.

You have to take all the dash out. I have the same model and I needed a new
motor about seven or eight years ago and because it is such a big job I
wanted a brand new motor but couldn't get one, I was told they were obsolete
so I had to repair the bloody thing. It's still going but I believe Paddocks
now have a direct Bosch replacement for around �65, the original was priced
at �177 + vat. IIRC it had a label on the heater assembly that said
'Discovery', probably the same motor then under a different part number.

Classic, so they seem to be directly interchangeable, certainly as far as
the motor & matrix go,
on the disco the dash had to come out, however it wasn;t as big a job as
expected, take plenty pics as it comes out for refrence.

Mmm. I've had the dash out on a couple of classics before. Thats why I
was asking if there's a way of doing it without removing it! Never
mind.
Thanks guys

I once had to replace the heater matrix in an SD1, I wish I had
never started and came to the conclusion that when they built the
SD1 they started with a heater matrix on the floor and built
everything else around it.

Near as I can tell, the late-model RR has the same heater as the
equivalent-age disco.
I'm going to have to do this on mine - motor was down to full-speed only
(resistors presumed dud) but then the other day it won't run at all, it's
taking power but no spinnee. bastard. I assume the rain has got to it and
siezed it.
handy to know that there may be motors available. Last time I did dash-out
to get to a heater (on an early disco 1) it took about 4 and a half hours
start to finish. Looks like on the classic rangie it's only the lower dash
panels and so on that have to come out... maybe...

book seems to say lower dash panels only. but it could be lying, of course.
