Xantia MK11 No Internal fan Blower

Internal blower fan failed completely just when you need the ac in this weather!. Ignition switch contacts and relays were fine. Took the fan out to investigate and found the brushes were almost non existant. The forcing spring were about to kiss the rotor.
Scarppy sells the fan for £60 (dubious history) and autofactor shops are selling furbished/new ones costing £125. I am sure the brushes would probably cost no more than £5.

Does any one know where in UK I could purchase spare brushes or do I just accept that life sometime sucks.

The car has been faithfully maintained in all other respects for the last four years. It is a Citroen Xantia Mk2 1998 1.9TD Automatic, location is North West London UK

Any guidance will be appreciated. Thanks

While you’re inside the fan motor, take the brushes to an auto electrician, and ask for a pair of brushes ‘like these’.

If they’re not the exact same, you can file them down to size.
