heater blower U S

It can also be fixed with restistors that cost 58p each from Maplin.

Resistor required:-
Order Code: H0.47
Description: 10W W/W 0.47R

Its then a simple case of removing the old ones and soldering in the new.

I just fitted mine to my ZS180 yesterday, very straightforward (assuming you can solder).

I fitted ceramic resistors to my old Civic (Rover 400 shape) and had to mess around with resistor values to get something approaching the original fan speeds; each resistor is a different value and fitting e.g. 0.47 Ohm to all positions will not give you a good range of fan speeds. 1.5, 0.68 and 0.22 Ohm resistors are easily available and give close to OEM speeds, though not exactly.

Apparently, the two lower speed resistors break on these packs after about seven years. We have a 2003 MG ZS and 2002 Rover 25 and both speeds 1 and 2 stopped working on them recently. Speeds 3 and 4 fine.

Got a couple of these off ebay ~ fitted in a few minutes and all four heater fan speeds fine now.

They are the Valeo items and look exactly like the old ones removed from the car. I may get some resistors from Maplins and repair the old ones when time allows....
