Dash Fan Noise I had a problem like that last year and finally discovered a mouse had built a nest in fan cage and around it. Chewed up the cabin filter as well - bits and pieces all over the place. Took a few cleanings to get it all out and then I sprayed a whole bunch of lubricant (non greasy...

Mechanic Hi, I'm in the Ottawa area as well and can't seem to find a somewhat dedicated 4Rnr mechanic. I have a 07 V6 Limited. I know everyone needs to make a buck but for the dealerships to charge an extra $20 to lube the propeller shaft (6 grease nipples I believe) when it's in for an oil...

Blower problem solved! Well I decided to have another look and really put my hands into as best I could as there isn't much room and there was still a ball of mouse house makings stuck on the very bottom of the fan basket. Pulled that crap out and "ta-da" no more growling noise!! You were right...

Resister??? what resister?? Maybe I should buy the manual (Haynes is it???) or just let it growl till it growls no more and let the dealer fix it. Thanks for the heads up!

Blower Mower Thanks for all your comments and suggestions. BlackWorksInc, I rechecked everything and its gotta be the motor bearing. Tried to take it out - it's only three screws with a Torx head but can't undo screw number three (of course!!) as it requires somekind of wrench/screwdriver with...

Thanks, could be. As I mentioned to Acidmeld, had a mouse house in there about a year ago thought I'd cleaned it all out - maybe not. Wish the helll they would put this stuff in easier to access locations and have grease nipples on everything...

Thanks for the reply. Good point, there was a mouse house in there about a year ago. maybe some crap still remains and has found it's way into the blower fan somewhere. I'm going to give it a real good vaccuum tomorrow. The mystery deepens...

I have a 2007, V6 Ltd and the interior fan is starting to make a "growling" sound at the higher blower speeds. I opened the glove box, removed the cabin filter and it's a "hamster cage" type of fan and I put some lube on the centre post and that "seemed" to do some good, but in reality it...

I have a 2007 Ltd Ed V6, and it's as good as it gets IMHO. Driven it to Florida and out east and it was great on the highway - bit of a gas guzzler in town but on the highway at 100 - 110 Kph (60-70mph) with the cruise on I find it rather impressive for a big vehicle especially packed with...

Hello all, I have a 07 V6 Ltd Ed, black and shiny 4Rnr when she's all polished up (hence the User ID name). Notice the new 4Rnrs come with a rear view camera in it but the 07's didn't and that's a pity. Have any of you installed such a device in your vehicles, or is there a place where this can...
