I have no filter at the moment and need to remove the extractor fan bit to clean all the fluff out of it, was wondering if anyone knows exactly how to do this, would like some advice before I just go unscrewing things!

Did that and the fan is working so efficiently it actually moves the hose around with the force of the air coming out! I can still see a lot of fluff through the holes in the back of the drum, how easy is it to get this out?

1st stop using it without filter as it could cause a fire!
remove the bottom back panel where the vent hose comes out.lay dryer on its side and remove the 4 screws that hold the motor.disconnect wires to motor making a note where they go.there is a plastic pin which holds the plastic fan cover on that needs pulling out and then quarter twist cover and you can totally remove the motor.this will give you access to everything for cleaning it out
