That sounds a very sensible approach

If someone wants my used one after removal to see if they can resurrect it I'm happy to post it at cost

The drive gear is on back order from Germany so it'll be a couple of weeks before I swap mine over

Well I swapped my motor today for the new replacement. Not many screws to get out but my god access is limited! A screwdriver with a 90 degree bend would've been handy! Even a 1/4" drive ratchet wouldn't really fit....luckily the screws aren't tight.

Did basic settings and all is good - watched the flaps move through their range

I didn't change the plastic end on the motor in the end as it's attached pretty firmly to the flaps themselves and I didn't want to break anything

Found another missing screw from where someone's been in there before, so will need to source a new one

Took the lid off the old motor and no signs of issues - could just be the motor has got weak with age

That’s good info to know, thanks Adrian. I'm yet to do mine and may not get around to it for a few weeks as I'm between houses. At least I shall be prepared, going to Google 90 degree screwdrivers now! I wonder what I'll find..!

Access is all on the passenger side - the coolant pipes going through the bulkhead get in the way, but it's only 2 screws to remove a cover, then another 2 screws to remove the motor. Just make sure the rubber gasket is re-seated correctly

Taking the lid off the airbox means you can manually move the flaps to get the motor drive engaged without any hassle.
