hi guys my 406 2 litre turbo is hard to start and the blowers have stopped working.are these linked.i had slight power to the blowers yesterday now they no longer work.the controls on the blower still work but there is no blowers.i have heard the problem might be the igintion switch will i need a new key if i replace this.please any help will be great
cheers dave

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?

hi thanks where is the blower located?
cheers dave

Passenger footwell, up behind the dash!

hi do i ne4ed to take the dash out to get to the connectors,the car is new to me so i need as much info as poss

cheers dave

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.

8:30

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

See the food suggestion

Gaaaaaahd can't you use a search engine?

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

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
dave

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

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

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
