Gerald1963 Posted April 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 Hi it is the motor .. aren’t these smiths... so is it a universal part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bordfunker Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 Could be a Delaney Gallay like mine has. DG components seem to be few and far between, and consequently more expensive, so if it is a DG unit, might be worth considering replacing it with a complete Smiths unit as they are interchangeable, and a lot more common.

Gerald1963 Posted April 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 Thank you Karl.... do you know of any suppliers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bordfunker Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 I’d be inclined to contact someone like Mick Dolphin at mickdolphin@tinyworld.co.uk, or have a trawl of eBay as there seem to be quite a few Lucas motors available at the moment.

Colin Lindsay Posted April 27, 2020 Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 1995 or thereabouts Nissan Micra blower will fit, and although it's still something on my 'to do' list I hear they blow much better too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve fitted the Micra heater blower to my Vitesse . The box needs a bit of fettling and my best guesstimate is that the Micra blower is at least 50% more powerful than the Original , I’ll dig out the post I did on the subject Paul nb the Micra Blower cost about £10 from EBay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Jones Posted April 27, 2020 Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 Nissan Micra or Golf MK2 can be made to fit (Micra slightly easier) in a SMITHS heater. I have no idea whether the same strategy works with the DG heater, which is significantly different. Might also be possible to fix or get fixed the original motor. DG heater unit is the better unit when working properly. Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
