SteveRK Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 My suggestion is a high Resistance connection either on the live feed or earth. I would start by checking the condition of the live feed from the fuse as they draw a lot of amps and can suffer from heat related degradation.

ThreeSheds Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Mine did this, turned out to be a very goosed heater motor. Me too (on a 200tdi Disco, but same system as some RRCs) and then it stopped altogether. When I got the motor out the rear bearing had about 2mm of play in it Changing it out was a full two day job for me (if you are quick you could do it in one I guess) with steering wheel/switches, console, instruments, dash and seats all out, and a 2nd hand motor/fan assy cost me about £45 on eBay I hope that in your case it's a bad connection Rog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clbarclay Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Is the motor actually going slower than it should or is it just not blowing as much air as it should? I thorught the motor or resistor in mine had packed up, but it just turned out that the grub screw holding the fan onto the motor had come loose and it was just friticion that turned the blades a bit to get a fraction of the of blow it should.
