Pull the cabin air filter out and make sure it's not gummed up or wet. If you're not going used, try british4x4outfitters or landrovermerriamparts.

I talked to Will Tillery and If got me a good price. So give that a go.

Mine was doing the same thing. I just pried the squirrel cage(?) off the spindle carefully, and then cleaned the brushes. I slid a flathead screwdriver between the squirrel cage and blower motor housing to use it as a pry bar. Just make sure to not damage the squirrel cage, otherwise you'll have to buy a whole new assembly. Reassembled and no more squeak. Plug the motor back in to check it before you completely reinstall just to make sure you cleaned it well enough.

Do you have any pictures.

Sorry. I don't, but when you remove the squirrel cage you'll see that the brushes are what contact the spindle. It should be pretty dirty, so just wipe it out really well. I didn't use any liquids or solvents because I didn't want to get any moisture inside the motor.
