sounds like a fan seizing up to me.

on the old escort van managed to free it off with the old wd40 (fitted in the scuttle)

dont know where it is/accessable on the mig?

Mine blows when the deivers seat heater gets switched on, have guesed mine is a knackered seat heater.

Has your radio been changed or altered at all, the radio is fuse 12 so seems odd you are blowing fuse 14.
