I have a 99 Disco II. This morning I turned on the heater and got some strange vibration and noise from the low part of the dashboard (under the glovebox). When I turned the heat off the noise stopped. I don't think it's affecting the driveability of the vehicle, but it is annoying. And if it's a sign of trouble I need to get it fixed. Up here in Fairbanks they are forecasting a possibility of snow this Friday. Any guidance is appreciated. | ||

Its the heater fan.....mice or similar have been building a nest in the fan itself. Remove the trim under/behind the glover box, and using a nutdriver (either 5 or 7/16s) remove the three screws from the circular fan assembly (I'm assuming d2s are the same as d1s here), you'll have to move a harness or two out of the way but remove the fan and clean it out. Then put your fingers up the tubes to grab anything else up there and reassemble. | ||

Thanks Chris. Can you tell me what the fan assembly looks like? I felt around up there early this morning and felt a metallic can type piece and that seemed to be where the vibration was coming from. Is that the heater fan? |
