Thanks for the info Classic Kev, That's what I've done, however the manual says to remove the engine drain plugs (one of which looks like a pain to get to). I figured that as the heater hoses are higher than the radiator bottom hose it wouldn't be necessary to remove every drop of coolant from...

Sorry but just one more question for the moment. Is it necessary to remove the engine drain plugs for this or would simply removing the radiator bottom hose do the trick?

Hi Classic Kev, Thanks for the heads up. So far I've stripped down the lower part of the dash and removed the centre console. I can hear the fan a little better now and I think the fan may have become detached from the motor as I'm getting a small amount of air passing through but the whirring...

Cheers Datatek. That had crossed my mind as it sounds like that could be possible. Can anyone advise if there is a way to see the fan without taking out the dash?

I've taken a look again today and the pipe connections to the vacuum under the bonnet seem fine. The tube leaving the vacuum and going into the connection on top of the engine wasn't good so have repaired that. I followed the tube into the cabin (LHD) and removed the dash panel under the...

Thanks for that norseman, I'll check that out today. I did notice that the rubber pipe connecting to plastic ball under the hood was a little split at the point of connection so I cut this back a little and re connected. I thought that the plastic ball was only as the vacuum for the...

Hope someone can help...... I have a 1988 RR Classic and I live in Lanzarote where it's very hot! I have just bought the car and the fan blower motor is making a noise (progressively more as you increase the fan speed) but very little air is coming out of the vents. I have the model with A/C...
