Thread: Accessing blower filter

Here's a link to what's involved.
It LHD but you will get the idea.

Disco 2 chirpy blower motor fix - Discovery Forum - LR4x4 - The Land Rover Forum

Make sure the foam filter at the rear of the bonnet is in place
that's what's supposed to catch the leaves.

The foam is more than likely in the fan to
have a good poke about
you can find allsorts in the ducting which can smell.

Thanks, I had used that to get the blower out (nice and packed with leaves). But this filter is above that and I can't see how to get it out.

Here is a diagram of the nasty little piece I'm looking to replace:

From memory that is not a filter.

It is the 'recycle' flap, which just has foam glued to it.

The only filter is the foam strip that sits below the windscreen.

Thanks, any chance you remember how to get it out so I can clean/replace it?

No idea how to remove it.

But the foam is there to limit air noise over the flap when in 'recycle' mode, and to help seal.

Option 1 - Scrape manky foam off and leave as is.
Option 2 - As above but restick new foam (Just use generic foam) onto flap.
Option 3 - Buy complete fan motor box.

Thanks, you've been a tremendous help. One last (hopefully) question: I've been trying to figure out/find documentation for how to remove the fan motor box with no luck. Do you know of any resources that would explain where/how it's attached? Again thanks a lot!

From memory it comes out as one piece and then you disassemble.

Not envying that task

Yes , remove HVAC as a complete assembly then disassemble. My understanding is it will come apart in 2 halves? then you can access the radiator and AC core. If other heater assemblies are anything to go by they appear to be the first item installed on the bare chassis!
