Hi,
I have just removed the interior fan unit from my 405 as it was making a sweaking noise, even with the engine of and the key in the accessory position. The noise tended to get faster if I increased the fan speed.
Has anyone fixed one of these, are they worth fixing, if not then where is the cheapest place to get one.
Thanks for your help.

Well as solutions go you can't get much cheaper than that, do you recon that LM grease would last longer than 1 year or will it go everywhere as the fan spins very fast on the high setting and gunk up or stop the motor working.
I'm just trying to make life simple by being laze and trying not to have to do this chore every year.

I did try lm grease too and it didn't hurt. Its just that the fan is very tight on the bearings so I thought Wd40 might penertrate(ooergh!) it a bit better. It does work and as I say stops squeeking for about a year or so until you start to use it more in the winter time. Quick and easy if its not complety borked or too annoying.
I had this problem in a 1993 405 - put WD on it and it lasted about 3 months, and then failed completely, to the point of seizing solid, within about 30 minutes of driving, leaving me with a misted up screen for the rest of the weekend. If you're keeping the car, it may be worth replacing it now, as you'll probably have to do it sooner or later.
Bought a new fan from GSF. No point getting a scrap one, they'll all have the same problem(unless you can get one which has already been replaced....)
