Bit of advice please - My heater has seized, I'm living without it for the summer. Been quoted £400 to replace and think money would be better used for a night heater. My question is can a night heater be used whilst the van is being driven - its a diesel by the way.

Remove the dash yourself using the wiki article and fix the heater yourself. Now is the time when it's warm and 'supposedly' dry

£400.00 !!!!
New blower motor £38.00
About 4 - 5hrs for a tradesperson...around £180 - £225
Not a massively technical job just time consuming, certainly not beyond you average/good DIYer

Did have a good look at wiki. Can only work on road and didn't fancy laying the steering wheel down. My thinking is still that money is better spent on a proper night heater. Thanks for the advice though

Proper night heater will not keep your windscreen clear.

Boat yes, but wbx would mean pulling dash, cutting holes, running duct, yadda, yadda ... Might as well just fix/replace fan.
