It was the fan speed controller, it was the more expensive one that
normally retails at £120-150, but I picked one up for £15 of ebay and
took a chance.

And the best thing of all, they put it in a much easier to get at place,
so the whole job took 20mins from looking for my screwdriver mini socket
set, to putting the rubber trim back on.

Now I don't need to sit in a gale force as soon as I switch on the
igntion.

Glad it was simple, well done on scoring a cheap part!

Sometimes new components can be soldered in to

The Resistor pack went on our 306 a couple of weeks ago, I was all ready
for an expensive and awkward job after I saw what it took to change the
heater matrix. I thought about trying to repair it once I had it out to
save myself some cash.

It turned out to be a 20 minute total job, 2 screws and 3 bolts and £10
for the part from the dealer. Score!

For now.
The one thing I don't want to do is get into the fix, modify, tune
cycle.
Because the next thing you know it, I'll be thousands in debt, with the
most wonderful handling, great performance and a shell with rust and
dents, scrapes and keying.

The transistor can be replaced if you can solder surface mount
components.

That was my rason too.

8 8mm screws, 3 T10 screws, and one wire connector.

If it had gone any further into the aquarium, I would have too.
This was right at the top, easy to get at.

That's easy enough to avoid if you've got any self-control whatsoever.
Question is, do you?

Heh, why not try your hand at soldering in a new one and punt it on ebay
for £15?

(c:

I'd give it a go. Somewhere like Maplins could prolly sell you a
transitor if that's what has failed. As long as its not motherboard
sized electronics it might not be that hard.

It's a diode in the resistor pack that failed in my case, but its not as
simple as soldering, the components are held by little clamps rather
than soldered and for £10 it was worth just buying a new one.
