hi there question for you experts about my sisters car

she has a P reg 55sx

recently she went on holiday an involved a 200 mile trip. she had the heater on and the fan on all the way to keep warm. but as she was nearing the end of the journey she started to hear a ticking noise comming from it andthen a burning smell. she turned t he fan off then. car still ran ok no problems so its not serious but if fan dont work then clearing front window could be tricky.

sooo any ideas what it is ??? i thouht the fan motor burning out ??? but am guessing really.

if it is the fan are they easy to get to or is it one of them taking out entire dash repairs lol
 
Cant picture it offhand but if you look under dash (n/s) you should (hopefully) see the round plastic casing of the motor.With more hope you should see 2 or 3 screws which if you undo & twist the casing it should (hopefully) fall out.As I said not sure on these but this is normal standard set up...if your unluck its a heater box out job but lets hope not.
Probably leaves stuck in motor housing.....hopefully ;)
