Thank you all for your responses. i really appreciate the help and links. everyone has told me reporting to insurance will only make myself be the one who pays out in the long term with there being a higher cost overall.  Thanks again guys and be careful on the roads!

i hope you manage to find the blower motor. At times like this i wish i had bought a more mainstream car. 

Thanks. BTW, check out http://jp-carparts.com/ for your parts. They quoted me $270 with delivery for a new blower motor, which is a lot more reasonable than Toyota's £440!

[EDIT] May need to add a bit more to that for probable customs charge considering the part ships from Japan.

I'm having a 'mare just trying to find a simple blower motor part for mine. Reasons not to buy a Japanese car. Reasons not to listen to the wife either!! 

Thanks guys.

I've got the Toyota part number from them - 87103-76020. Sent price inquiry here http://jp-carparts.com/toyota/partlist.php?maker=toyota&type=232110&fig=8714&part=8710376020

Crazy that it's so hard to get a hold off!

Hi folks,

Having a nightmare trying to find a blower motor replacement part. My local garage having no luck either.

Part number is 272600-0456.

eBay has 272600-0322 which looks the same but not sure if that will fit.

Any help will be much appreciated as have been without car heating for two weeks!!

Many thanks

PS. I've asked Toyota and they want £400 for the part.....
