There is a guy in Cowbridge, Vale of Glamorgan with a garage called Vale 4X4's. He reacons that he can do it without removing the dash.

Barnhill, where in South Wales are you based then ??

On 300 maybe but definatly not on a 200

Its a days job very easy once you get the steering wheel off I think the dashboard it self only has 8 bolts holding it on

The vehicle has sat outside for three years in all weathers, i even found a mouse nest in the engine bay and the washer pipes eaten away by the little devils :shock: I can see the courtesy light dimming as the blower switch is activated which leads me to believe the motor is drawing a certain amount of power but not able to turn. I could be wrong on this matter, I'm no techie by a long chalk :oops: I haven't investigated it thoroughly yet and it may be something completely different.
Any advice would be great

When I stripped my dash out to get at mine, I found that it had melted its way through the casing!!

so I sourced another through Eblag and job done. I love having heat :D
