Hi,

I've got a 2004 V8 Disco 2, LHD, which I love to bits and generally runs beautifully.

I live in Saudi so the A/C is obviously very important. There is a small fan behind a small grille thing on the dash next to the steering column (see pic) which makes a really irritating buzzing noise because some of the blades are knackered. I disconnected it and the A/C lost most of its power so I assume it's connected to the blower in some way. I'm coming to England for a few days and want to get a replacement but I went on Ebay and looked for blower fans and none of the parts looked like mine (see pics - sorry they're blurry but getting a camera round the back of the dash was very hard! Also sorry they're attachments - can't work this URL stuff)

It fits on with 2 screws and the fans on ebay didn't have equivalent holes. The back cover of the fan is also different - mine's almost flush and metal, the ones on ebay have a protruding bit and look plastic.

So - can anyone tell me what the part actually is so I can search it out? It's so fiddly to get at that I don't want to buy the wrong thing and then spend hours fiddling and cursing for nothing!

Cheers in advance

The part you refer to is an aircon sensor. Basically it sucks in in air so it can be measured for temperature and I think humidity also.

The aircon system can't work without this.
 
If it's the same as a Rangie then it sucks cabin air over a sensor to control the climate control, it's not a blower motor.
 
Thanks both of you - I can actually see the sensor behind the little grille now. I'm off to hunt on ebay!
I also second the love for the dog's expression!
 
it's exactly the same as the one on my P38 so if you have trouble finding one for a disco, try the range rover route.

Had a very quick look on e-bay and they are there (P38 spares carry them)
 
Thanks, Hawaii - really useful stuff!
Can't find the Land Rover one anywhere (out of stock at Rimmer Bros parts and nothing on internet searches) but there are second hand ones for the P38 on ebay so will go for one of them.
