Hi All,
Well I took out the heater fan(which really has given up the ghost this time) and had a look at all the connections - I cleaned them off(actually they did'nt look that bad) and then had a look at the motor. The Motor was really really stiff. I put some WD 40 on it loosened it up a bit and put it back in. The tried it -it worked for about 30 seconds and then decided to bellow out lots of smoke - Doh..... I think its now properly siezed! Anyway, has anyone any suggestions where I could get a newer working unit. I'm in Ireland and older 340's( mine's a 1984 one!) are a bit thin on the ground over here these days. Have any Irish people out there got any spare ones lying around?
Cheers,
Paul.

a useful forum as always then!

We don't have very many Irish members. Sorry about that, shall I go recruiting?

I even found you an X1/9 in my local scrap yard...c'mon, I'm good

I'm sure someone will post you a motor if you can't find one.

cheers

No Worries - I'm just stirring things up a bit. Thanks for the replies. Unfortunately, the motors seem to be impossible to come by.

If you can wait a few weeks, I'm bound to find you one...it's just whether another source would be easier (and cheaper on shipping).

cheers

James
