309 blower motor

Dear Pug-listers,

I've been having problems with the blower motor for the internal heater in my 309 for some time. It sqeals, and then starts making a sound like an
asphyxiating donkey. I've tried squirting wd-40 into it, which used to stop it for a while, but doesn't anymore.

I took it out yesterday, to have a look at it, and it looks beyond repair. The bearings holding the shaft in the motor seem to be shot, and
lubricating them has no effect.

I'm going to have to replace it. Does anybody know what these things cost new? If they are extortionate, I may have to get one from a breaker's yard,
in which case, does anybody know whether the same unit is found in any other pugs? 205s?

Cheers,

Steve
