new blend motor issue

heres one for ya, i changed my blend motors 3 or 4 months ago and all was well for a while then a few weeks back the damn book came on again. i plugged it back in to the rovacom to find it said the distribution blend motor had stalled during self test, when i forced it from cold it only went so far then stalled again. turns out the mechanism was too stiff for the blend motor to turn it so i spent the next few hours spraying silicone spray over the distribution flaps and mechanisms to free the fooking thing up. has any one else had to do this or am i the only lucky one.

Not new,at all..... Have a look on www.rangerovers.net - P38 bit and look at the bit about freeing off dist flaps with a self tapping screw.I first posted this ages ago and have done loads since - it works.

Mine did the same. Can't beat SP90 spray, its great for locks too.

Can you get to the distribution flap to lube it without to much stripping?

theres more than one flap, i took the centre vents out and sprayed some down there too. mine was already well stripped because i was doing the blend motors again or so i thought, it took fooking ages with the silicone spray. spray and move the lever full cycle and then repeat for some time untill free:yawn:.

Thanks for the reply do the centre vents come out easy?

Perhaps this is easier; RangeRovers.net • View topic - Photos of method for freeing blend flaps with S/T Screw
