The whole headlamp panel needs to be removed along with the bonnet catches and cooler pipework. Remove the two clips from under the fan cowling, and the small (8mm?) bolts halfway up the cowling, great if you can soak them first. Without cutting or working on the AC pipes remove the top of the cowling (black plastic) from the righthand side (as you’re looking at it). Pivot and ease outwards towards you the righthand side of the cowling enough to access the torx screws holding the fan motor (again soak first), these are usually difficult to remove. Once the three torx are out, pull the fan motor towards you and feed through the wiring and control box.
Once the fan motor is out open it up and see the condition. If the commutator is in reasonable condition you might only have to replace one or two carbon brushes, I’m sure Simon will advise on a supplier.
