You need to be looking at the fan motor itself - there is a problem with the electrical spade connectors where they look a bit burnt. Cutting them out and replacing with new does the trick unless the fan speed module is bust?

I told you (in one of the many other threads you've asked ) to do a search. It's the box at the top right of every page that says "Search"...

30 seconds there I've come up with 3 posts where I've given detailed instructions on removing it. It's not difficult. I believe it's also covered in the Haynes manual.

Mjb - I'm having trouble deciding what to have for dinner tonight; can you suggest anything please and can you suggest a film to watch afterwards and how many beverages I should drink bearing in mind I have to drive to work at 06:00am?

Also, what would be the ideal time for me to go to bed bearing in mind all of the above? thanks.

Also I did a poo this morning but I'm not sure it all came out? should I try again tonight? if so what time?

Thanks.

A nice healthy salad. The Sound of Music. A nice cup of herbal tea.

Have you ever considered colonic irrigation?

16 cans of 5.2% Stella. Call in sick with a migraine tomorrow then go back to sleeping it off

Chicken Tikka Vindaloo or Phal

I've never been brave enough to try a phal, I value my taste buds too much!

[dragonslayer]

phal sunds good but on a serious note guys thanks for the advice
i know who to turn to when i need a curry lol

[steve_earwig]

I have a mate who's wife comes from Singapore and she's quite fond of the odd phal. I tried one once
These days the only way can get a curry is if I make it

[Welly]

Well, I kind of followed your advice...

4 x Stella, 1 x Chick Tikka Masala (the Sainsbury's yellow box meal for 2), 1 x Red Wine, 2 x Coronation Street (hey I wanted to make sure Rosie was ok) 1 x poo and 1 x old Top Gear on Dave+1, bed time = fall asleep watching tv followed by tripping up the stairs in the dark later at 11:15pm

Thanks to all who offered advice.

If you're going to buy microwavable supermarket curry, buy Asda's where they cook it in-store. It's not too bad compared to the alternatives

Wish I'd have had 4 cans of the good stuff last night, might have saved me a sleepless night at least i have plenty of coffee and diet coke to keep me awake Mine's the one with the heaped tablespoon of coffee and no milk

[Welly]

The Sainsbury's individual curry's are nasty but the boxed ones are yummy!

You get 1 x CTM, 1 x Korma, 2 x Nams, 4 x Samozas and a small bucket of 3-colour pilau rice for £6.99 and the chicken is nice in it. Cook in the oven but microwave the rice.

In fact, being a 'lightweight' me and Mrs Welly often share a curry each and have a pudding which makes it really cheap and nice too
