2007 M59 Berlingo Blower fan Glove box removal
#1
Has anyone got any idea how to remove the blower fan from a right hand drive air conditioned 2005 M59 Berlingo.  Every video or instruction i have seen has the fan placed in a different location. The only thing i can think of is that these vehicles are not air conditioned. My blower fan seems to be loacted next the bonnet release latch and makes it impossoble to undo the bolts holding the blower in place. It looks like i need to remove the entire glove box. BUT can't find any videos on that for a M59. Lots for the newer model but not mine. Any help would be warmly recieved. Thank you

I have done this a few times . Fairly straight forward but a bit awkward and you need to be a contortionist. 
1, Get  a piece of foam or carpet to lay over the left sill as you will be leaning on it 
2, put the passenger seat right back
3, pop the bonnet ,undo  and remove the 10mm head bolt that holds the bonnet release catch I think it is about 40mm long. (don't lose it) Disconnect battery (not essential)
4, now the fun begins, door wide open ,with your ribs resting on the sill and your head in the footwell
 5 I vaguely remember having to loosen a torx screw holding the the side of the dash on just to give wiggle room.You will only see this with the door open.
 there are about 3 or 4 poppers ( buy a cheap tool kit from e bay. and perhaps a screw holding the felt type material to the underside of the dash, this needs to be pushed to the centre front of the footwellout of the way
6 You should now see the blower motor ,it is in front of where the bonnet release catch was . there are I think 3 screws holding it on,also there is the electrical plug which needs pulling off also there is a drainage tube attached you will need to remove/replace . 
7 when you have undone the screws it is quite heavy and will need a bit of manouvering to get it out ,you will not think it is coming but it will. 
7 buy a new pollen filter to replace the old manky one.you will see the casing there . If I remember correctly a cross head screw holds the cover on.
 You are probably going to change the resistor pack on it  (easy)
It will take a bit of jiggery pokery to get it back in but Percy Vear and it will fit.
Replace everything as was and test . Good luck ( |Do not plug it back in and test while motor is in your hand ,you will jump out of your skin and drop it.lol.)
Good Luck A 1/4 drive socket set makes it a bit easier.
