Hello Everyone.
When I switch on my fan it makes a screaching sound
So i thought what it needed was some good old 3in1 oil put somewhere, I looked in my £16-95 Haynes moggy manual to find a picture of the fan/heater box but to my horror there was none, so I looked in my green moggy 1000 drivers handbook, there was a picture of the box but no writing on who to take it apart.
How do I take it apart? or
do I need a new motor + will the 3IN1 oil do the trick?.
Also I have read a lot of good feedback on heaters/fans what is this rotting pipe that everyone seems to have?.

Ha!
And I always thought my car was unique! The sound makes me think of a parrot with piles !!!
The sound has frightened a few of my passengers over the years but I tend to view it as one of the strange quirks of an old car.
I guess it is caused by an air lock rather than a mechanical problem? Simply switch the heater off and back on again very quickly - I always find the noise doesn't re-occur.

I've had lots of screeching heater fans. The sound goes after a second or 2 so I never gave it a second thought until now.
