Had a problem with the fan for the heater this weekend not starting so, prepared to take it out to lube up the bearings and clean the brushes again.
For interest, I checked the voltage at the terminals to see if there was an electrical supply problem first and when the probe pressed onto the terminal, the fan started again....

I removed the terminals, re-tensioned the spade fittings with some pliers and I now have a working fan again. 45 mins total time, a few more years putting off buying a new fan?? Let's hope so! I suppose 20 years take their toll on terminals after all, even on a W124....
