My blower motor was kippered when I bought my car, so I bought a new one from Specialist cars of Malton, it was identical to the one I took out and fitted not problem.
If your going to repair your blower motor dont forget the bearings which will probably be dry, you might want to replace them at the same time.

John can you remember what sort of price the motor was and did you try to get just brushes as the bearings in mine are still running smoothly I would hate to have to buy the whole thing for the sake of a set of brushes.

Price was £135 + vat for the complete unit part# 911,571,320,32 , give them a call they might just sell the motor& brush kit only. Although your bearings are OK they are at least 20 years old and have probably done a lot of work so check out the lubrication before reusing them.

Help windscreen blower motor has packed up, been noisy for some time. Got motor out not to bad a job and it looks like the brushes are worn out, has anyone ever managed to get hold of these and where from.
Regards Baz
I bet I could fix you up with some brushes. Take a pic and measure them. If I don't have exactly the right ones you could sand them down to fit and trim to length if need be.

Totaly embarrassing a sl. worrying for a few minutes.
So guys , are we agreed this is a relatively easy diy fix?
Can we have a concensus on what to replace , ie blower motor ( 40 quid?) where is the cheapest source of good quality / condition units.
Motor was £51 all in delivered from Malton Specialist cars Genuine Bosch unit. You might be able to just remove the motor from the fan housing 2 X 8mm headed screws unplug cable on front of fan unit then lift motor out, fan is pressed onto end of motor spindle. I supported fan across jaws of a vice and tapped the spindle through the fan note amount of shaft sticking through fan and put new one back on same distance. If you have to remove complete unit this is done by removing the fresh air intake grill and undoing 2 X screws that hold complete fan unit in place.
