Shopgrrl's telling me her truck won't defrost, the fan is speaking in tongues and she's beginning to think it is telling her to do bodily harm to me if I don't fix the heater/defroster/air conditioning in her truck.

I researched the thread antiredneck had about replacing the motor on his '89, but it isn't the same as the later model trucks.

C'mawn, somebody has found a better replacement than the $180 DAP fan.

Help a brutha out!

Buy the DAP fan, install it, make her happy. Winter's coming you know. It'll take every day between now and when she needs it to get it done.

I was hoping to come up with a good reason for why we should wait until the new shop is built:flipoff2: A little incentive to get the new building going!

I thought AB had something for cheaper? I cannot find my catalog.

While this won't really help you now, I seem to recall somebody swapping in a standard blower motor from Autozone or something. Much cheaper than the Land Rover part. Unfortunately I can't remember any more than that.

Oh yeah, it also seems like it was a fairly straightforward swap.

NEW SHOP...thats sweet.

I'm not sure that you'll be able to heat it with a range rover fan though.

If I am understanding correctly...I think we replaced the blower in the Disco with a BMW 750iL one, which was Bosche and far cheaper used than any LR part...it also worked better...

Not sure if this is what may help you...

Sadly, the posting for the replacement bolwer motor posted by antiredneck was for the earlier style heater boxes which have a very different blower motor arrangement (I also have a coupla the older ones for Shopboy's truck). The Disco setup is completely different as well (yes, as one might expect, I have a coupla these too!).

I hate AB almost as much as XKs and there replacement isn't as nice as the one offered by DAP-DAP's requires no cobbling, AB's requires significant butchering and cobbling to center the motor in the heater box.

The DAP solution is the best replacement for sure ( as far as easy on the effort, knuckles etc on a job that makes you want to beat your head on the floor)

I may have a worn motor you could experiment with if you like.

I'll have a worn motor too-tomorrow afternoon when I get it out of her truck.

I should let you help since it's partly your fault that the engine that's in there now is in there.:flipoff2: I had other plans for that engine until you had to ruin it by telling Shopgrrl there was no reason not to put it in this truck:flipoff2:

You mean the gasoline powered engine, not the electric blower motor, right. Guess she could have got a honda.

Just fix it whiner. Consider it payment to her for all those hand rolled cigs she makes for you. And the tobacco ones.

And we both call you "Friend":shaking: :confused:

Geez, can't a night owl get a laugh in now and then? Alright they were all tobacco.
