Title: heater fan wanted, or earplugs.....
Post by Nick on Mar 6^th, 2008, 3:12pm

My 200k miles Scorp's fan motor sounds like that eathquake last week!

Anyone got one? I am happy to come and remove it if you are close-ish to anywhere between Midlands and Cumbria, otherwise how much, inc pp?

Regards

Before you go rushing round the Country have a look at THIS (http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/fanrepair.htm). It is the full works so to speak BUT it shows you what the system looks like and you may find that spraying some WD40 in there through the opening might just solve your problems. ;) Click on each picture to enlarge.

thanks Simmo- I used the link you listed to winkle out my fan.

WD40 too thin however, shaft is running with 5 mm play!

In effect, the armature is acting as a (lumpy) bearing in the motor case...

Thanks again

(perhaps aerosol porridge would work ?) ;

In case it helps, someone on the mailing list said they fitted one off a Granada (having found 2 or 3 faulty Scorpio ones in the scrappy). They had to adapt the wiring/plug, but otherwise OK.

Thanks for that, I will include Grandads when I ring srappies.
