Yes they can land in water but they have to keep the rotors turning or it falls over.... they use them to put boats straight into the water. Land on water, lower the ramp and drive out of the back... Absolute nightmare to keep them serviceable though, especially out in Afghanistan, still at least I get a suntan whilst doing it. :dance::dance:

Does anyone know if the self diagnostic process/codes are the same on the series 2 aircon components as on the series 1? If not does anyone have a copy of the ones relevant to the series 2? :confused:

Ok ,thanks a lot for that. Don't suppose it'll be any harder than fixing Chinook helicopters...:rolleyes:

Ok, before I go and take every part out that I can see, does anyone know if there's a quick way to remove the aircon ecu? :confused:

In the vein of misery loving company, I too have that exact problem with the clicking sound... However I also have a problem with the heater blower not working either.... :headvswal

Sorry to harp on but... I finally decided to actually check the fan(s) by running wires to them straight from a battery and funny old thing they both work.. Have also as the manual suggested tried changing the whole aircon control switch pod as per the workshop manual recommendation, although this would appear to be a slightly older version. There's still no '00' when you put it into self diagnostic mode so could this be due to the switch unit being slightly different or as has previously been suggested a dodgy earth and/or connection somewhere? I have started to occaisionally hear a clicking noise from behind the dash, but it's only ever at idle and not all the time either. :headvswal

Funny but I thought something along those lines too, but as I said I'm no electrician. I much prefer fuel or hydraulic systems, at least you can see/smell when it's leaking.... :rolleyes:

Yes I'm certain I'm on the motor terminals. If there was a duff earth or even a short there, would it still be possible to measure a voltage at the terminals? :confused:

Is the speed module on the housing that the fan motor bolts into? I'm suspicious about two fans being dead, but you never know....:confused:

I should point out that I'm no electrician..... I put my volmeter across the two spade connections inside the white plastic plug that is part of the loom where it connects directly to the motor.

Hello there, My heater blower has suddenly decided to stop working. As all the lights on the climate control panel still come on and you can hear actuators moving when selected and no fuses were blown I assumed it must be the fan itself. I checked that there was voltage at the motor connection with the fan selected on and I got the corresponding correct voltages ( 4, 6, 9, 12). So assuming it was the motor I took it out and tried cleaning it using the info on here. No joy.... So I sourced a replacement fan, fitted it... still no joy. Reading through my workshop manual I found the self diagnosis test for climate control so tried this. Upon starting the test I didn't get the '00' code which says duff Auto/Off switch. So accordingly I have sourced another one although it is slightly different appearance it had the same connections. I put it on and did the self diagnosis test again, still no '00' code at the start. Any ideas please...:headvswal
