RE: Radio removal and heaterHi thomas and all

The ashtray is no more due to my temper as well no bracket.  The rear of the stereo seems to be hitting against the heater ducts (non decript black plastic tubes).   Maybe cause it's a Syncro? But can't see why.

I'd like info on the failing heater fan though folks.

thanks a million

  You need to cut out the support bracket behind the radio to get the new one to fit- you can see the bracket when you take out the ashtray.

  I don't know about you folks but I can't get a stereo to fit into the dash 
  of my van,   the radio I pulled out was only about 4inches deep. 

  Thus my replacement was hanging out the dash a couple of inches,  worked 
  fine until some b@@@@@d decided it was too tempting and nicked it. 

  Needless to say I wasn't too happy,  now I've got a big dent in my dash to 
  remind me I've a bad temper and a lovely draft coming through the hole 
  where the stereo should be. 

  And speaking of the draft,  due to the lovely european weather its getting 
  freezing cold over here now.  But my blow heater has decided to pack up 
  now.  Runs fine for about tens minutes and then as the motor gets warm (i 
  guess) you can here the fan getting slower and slower until nothing. 
  Turn it off let it cool for a while and it's back for ten minutes and so 
  on. 

  Any ideas?
