Simon,

Thank you for being the voice of sweet reason. You are, of course, absolutely right.

Looking at the options, new brushes would be cheapest but I tried that last year and it now looks as though I have the same problem again, so I think a more long-term solution is called for.

Having said that, Rimmers are quoting £322 for a new fan motor, to which must be added the cost of fitting, making that a very expensive option. I'll take your advice and contact Arctic and Jules to see whether they can suggest a cheaper alternative.
