Is this Normal,

doriz · May 14, 2020

I.e. for a video not to play?

For a heater not to work? Yes, perfectly normal.

Sorry did it not play ? It works but its bloody noisy

doriz · May 14, 2020

When I start the rebuild on mine next year I will put time to building a bespoke heater unit

Must be something stuck in there.
will have a look

No videos.
Spin by hand as bearings may be dry.
Fit a 12v night heater instead

That is the sound of your fan hitting the casing - sound like a healthy motor.

That sounds to me like it is trying to seize.
They are a crap design, they run dry, then the oiltite bush seizes to the motor shaft, then the bush spins in the tin housing, and then its shagged!

I remember reading somewhere of a modification you do, without removing the heater, to get oil into the bearing but can’t remember where!

Bloody expensive as well, car and the heater motor!

Took the whole thing out to check the Motor, it actually looks quite newish underneath, tried it on the Bence worked perfect, put it back in and went back to Squealing, It turned out to be this Bloody white plastic bit, had to cut it down a bit.

I think there is meant to have a sponge ring round the heater to the inlet.

glad you update us with the problems.

doriz · May 15, 2020

...as in the collar was fouling the fan wheel - you can get your hand inside the plastic inlet through the wing once fitted to back of the collar. When I did mine iirc I put silicone on it and ended up covered in the blasted stuff. As @Hicap phill says, glad you resolved it, very satisfying.
