Freelander Heater Fan

Don't know if anyone can help me, but my Dad has a Freelander TD4 and the heater fan only works on the number 4 position. Is there an easy fix for this or does he have to sell his vital organs and my Mum (again)?

Can't be specific about the Freelander, but only working on max usually points to a resistor pack failing. My Saab had the resistor pack located in the fan housing. They are usually a large plug-in module with resistors used for every fan speed other than max. The resistors don't usually fail (they are large coils of wire) but there is a thermal fuse which needs to be replaced. If this applies in your case, ensure the replacement thermal fuse is crimped, not soldered as the heat from soldering will blow it straight away. Thermal fuses available from Maplins etc.
