Not ideal to work under a heavy object propped up by a piece of wood but then again I work under my van while on wooden blocks

Thanks everyone - you've all been so helpful. Im so relieved its the heater leaking and nothing more serious!
I only bought the van the 3 weeks ago and already I've had to have a new starter motor put in! For those that don't know, it was my van 7 years ago, i've bought it back off my friend!

So, OldiebutGoodie - its a petrol automatic 2.1 fuel injected engine. I think I'll need to do some research on a D2. I'm going to check to see if it works tomorrow after work. Is there anything I should know? I guess I just need to turn the control dial? :-/

Thanks for the advice on the struts...they were fine before the bike rack went on...I guess that is pretty heavy to have hanging off the back! I might actually take off.
The bit of wood thing though, yes sounds like a plan!

It may not be a D2 it is hard to tell from the photo. If you haven't got a small fuel tank at the end of the Eberspächer's fuel line and it is plumbed into the vehicles fuel system you have a petrol model of some sort.
Check the fuses around that mass of wiring that was hidden away and then turn the control knob up to 4 and see if there any signs of life.

Thanks Oldie, i'll try that

I bought new struts when I put my bike rack on as like you the tailgate wouldn't stay up. Just browsed my vast ebay purchase history and I got these.

Been on the van almost a year and have been great...although from new they do 'fling' the tail gate open and you need to put some effort in to get them to close again

Oh thats really handy to know, thanks Jon!
