Good morning

Got the classic speed 4 only fan issue so think the heater resistor needs changing.

Firstly, I'm a mechanical novice. Is it realistic for a DIY job?

Secondly, finding a vast range of prices for the part. Can anyone recommend a decent quality part that will last please?

Many thanks!

Fitted an NRF one to my old octavia and had no problems. Have a look if febi do one as well. Avoid any brandless ones on ebay etc.

Great thank you both that's very helpful.

I'll look for those brands instead as daft to cheap out and end up doing it again!

From memory the one for my octavia was around £15
