My 1989 2.1 multivan's heater fan is a bit temperamental......i doesnt work at all on "number 1", and on "numbers2 & 3" it works intermittentley - it'll start out ok, then slow down, then speed up, then stop, then start again, etc

firstly - is it easy enough to get to - secondly - is it an easy repair, or will it be a new uniit ?

try the switch before you start taking the dash out. if the fan didnt work at all it would probably be seized on spindle - quite common .
The fact that the fan does work but it dosnt work on 1 position on the switch and intermitantly on the other 2 positions would make me swap the switch first.
Have a look on GSF website , think they are £6 ish.

as the man above said, check the switch first........ then the fuse, not unusual for a grotty connection at the fuse holder to cause this, but if it is the fan itself, its a dash out job........ 3 to 4 hours ish

Would i have a blower in my 82 van yes, no or depends?

is it aircold or derv?

derv yes, aircold, doubtfull, depending on spec

Had exactly that problem on our 1990 van.
Try the switch because its a dash out job to mend/replace the fan.

I fixed ours by freeing up the carbon brushes in the motor, which were sticking. Just a bit of wd40 down the side of each brush and then wiggle backwards and forwards not had a problem since.
