cheers to everyone who's offered, but all done now

finally bit the bullet and stripped out the heater from my 110 in an attempt to get the heater working, found a number of issues but the main one is the fan motor, seized up solid and when I freed it off still no good, so does anyone have a fan motor knocking about they want to swap for beer tokens?
