The fan in most cases can be taken apart, the armature cleaned up, the bushings lubricated and re-installed. Search for fan removal and disassembly on: www.smartcarofamerica.com.

I just had my car services at the dealer for its 30,000 mile service $500! Ow!Anyone know of an alternative?
Seeing this, and being someone who has no love toward Apple products, I have to say is a good idea. Sure, the cradle should be streamlined so it doesn't look so huge, maybe relocated a bit for better placement for the driver (how I sit in my Smart,…
