  1. sounds to me like the fan motor is kaput, the clue being that the casing had been welded to the blower wheel.  The blower should start to operate just after the glowplug energises. 

    Contact Mark or Alistair at Espar in Plymouth, they'll be able to get it sorted, but the heater will be at least 20 years old and I know Eber spares are difficult to get hold of currently

  2. The problem with the fan is getting the volume of air across the evaporator coil, the coil has to be quite narrow due to its positioning ,  if a dash mounted AC is required a better solution is actually to replace the complete heater box  , and add the evap coil inline with the heater coil, however cost is  the reason it was not done that way by the retrofitters such as Diavia.

    The under dash system , of course doesn't allow screen demisting either. 

    The MOD simply had an evap ceiling mounted , the condenser mounted in a side locker.

    I've been contemplating this as well and was considering installing the inboard equipment under a reduced cubby box in the centre between front seats.

    In much the same way they add heaters under the cubby box, it is doable , I'm in the process of adding it to my 110 , Ive added a small Kalori evaporator into a housing , look for kitcar hvac's  ,

  4. All depends on why it got a Q in the first place

    Ex MOD?

    Stolen recovered and not able to ascertain correct ID

    or maybe built as a Hybrid

     

    However recently DVLA have been pretty strict on the rules,  only the original keeper can change it within a very limited timescale that sort of thing,

  5. Sounds like its not establishing a flame , especially as everything else you describe is within the start sequence, 2 attempts then it moves to control off.  If engine is running and alls ok you need to see the voltage when glow plug is in use.

     

    Poor connections are a common cause
