The blower on 1 & 2 packed up on my Rover 45. I left it for ages because I didn't want to pay out forty quid including fitting to a garage. Then I saw a guy on ebay advertising a cure for the problem for £4.25 inclusive of shipping. Full of doubt, I contacted the guy via email. He seemed decent enough, so I decided to go ahead. The resistors with instructions arrived on Saturday while I was at work. I also worked Sunday arriving home around 6.00pm. I had my dinner, and at seven o'clock thought I would have a look at the job. At each bottom corner of the glove box there is a hex head Phillips screw. I removed each one, and the dash pocket came away. Immediately in front of me I saw the board that needed removing, held in by two phillips screws, and also a plug going in the top of the board. I tried to remove the plug and failed, so I removed the two phillips screws, and lifted the board out on the end of the plug and leads. I could then see that you just need to insert a flat screwdriver and press the brown tab in, on the plug to release it. I fitted all three resistors as supplied, as per the wiring diagram. I put the board back, screwed the two screws back in, pushed the plug back in position, and tried the blower. I was amazed, - absolute perfection. I then screwed the two hex head screws back and shut the dash pocket. The time was now eight o'clock. I saved forty quid and was well pleased. Not bad for an OAP, who can't see too well unless the light is really good. The ebay name of the guy I got the stuff from is ' nufuel.' His name is Neil and I phoned him up to tell him what a great deal he gave me. You should try him too. The job is a doddle.
