    Courtesy Car Etiquette

    defender heater motor replacement

    Not a major job just sometimes fiddly. You dont need to disconnect the hoses . Just got to take out the nuts for the box so that it will move and give you better access. You'll have to remove the washer bottle and intake duct. Moight be worth getting new foams while you have it all off.
