Thread: Defender heater blower motor replacement issues

The heater fan motor in my 2005 Defender 110 has started squealing really badly and as far as I know, the bearings in the blower motor are not serviceable.

The heater unit assembly part number is JEC001040. Apparently, because my Defender has a UK factory fitted aircon, the heater unit is somehow different.

So, I started looking for a replacement, but that doesn’t seem to be available.

Anyway, my question to the brains trust is: are just the motors interchangeable between the different heater matrixes, i.e. if I buy something like UTP1911, can I transfer it into the carrier plate or not?

Thanks

Thanks Rob

I pulled the motor and found a part number. There is someone in the UK who sells them for $160 to my door (inc GST ).
