[V8] Blower motor ..... what a pain in the neck !!!! hands, fingers , elbows back etc...

[Ingo Rautenberg]

Unless you're driving a lhd V8, that should be the correct part for  
your car, Peter.  Your car is set up to drive in the UK, correct?   
Otherwise, for lhd V8s, the part number (cage and motor together) is  
443 959 101.

Good Luck
