Success, well almost

Thanks everybody for your advice which has been very helpful.

With the help of an Auto Electrician I have now managed to trace the fault to the transistors in the blower motor

Looked at new motors (very expensive) second hand (never sure on condition) and decided best way would be to simply replace the transistors and the brushes in my motor

I've managed to locate a good source for the brushes but am having problems with the transistors

Can anyone help with the part numbers and a good supplier?

I got mine from RS Components in Glasgow.

The RS Stock number was 295-163.

In March this year they were £5.27 each.

Apparently if the transistors are knackered they will make the blower run at full speed permanently.

I've got a working second hand one that cost me a tenner.

It's yours for a tenner + postage if you want.

Gordon - your best bet is Aitken Brothers in High Bridge.
Failing that, Maplins (Grey Street IIRC) or near Ikea, then RS Components on Team Valley - Dukesway Court I think.

According to the Maplin website when I was looking for mine it's not something they stock.

I called the store and they said it's not something they could get either.

Maplin are really disappointing these days. They've gone from having a great stock of components to cheap plastic tat.
