OK....as far as my car is concerned, I've checked the dashboard fan daily for several days now, and more often than not the fan does not run when I start the car in the mornings. I don't know the cause - could be fluff, motor dying - who knows. I've determined this by GENTLY inserting a fine tube from an aerosol can into the fan grill. No rattle from the fan blades = fan not running. By gently moving the tube around I am able to coax the fan into life. Once started, it seems to run for the whole journey, and the problem I originally reported doesn't happen. This is hardly a long-term solution though! I had hoped to change the fan myself, but on this model year you have to remove the passenger airbag (apparently), before you can remove the ACC panel, and then the fan. On models with no passenger airbag I believe it was easier. For what it's worth folks...
