Heater blower problem

Hi I have a sport non air con how easy is it to replace the heater motor as mine was smoking from the vents and cut out would I need to remove the dash to replace the motor ?

You'll find that it's probably the resistor has corroded and melted, had the same in my old one and it set light to the pollen filter. If you go under the bonnet, pull the rear seal and remove the black plastic under the windscreen you'll find the pollen filter, unclip that and the resistor lives under there. Stupid design, they're always grotty. Be careful when buying a new one, they come in 3 and 4 speed flavour, yours being a ph2 should be a 4
