I had the same fan noise problem on my 80 mgb. I ( after trail and error )
lubed the bearings with a combo of axle grease and graphite powder about 4
years ago and haven't had a problem since.

The fan noise is a common one for heaters with warn bronze bushings. You can
pull the motor and replace the bushings and brushes for a few bucks. Or try
a motor rebuilder. For about 40 bucks you can probably get it rebuilt.

I pulled my motor and replaced the brushes and lubed (not replaced) the
bronze bushings, and within a few days the noise came back. So now I've got
to pull it again to replace the bushings. Oh well, live and learn, eh??
Kind regards,
Tim.
