Van is fine, all toasty

Last year I spent a bit of time sorting out my brick-built store shed where I keep my portable, solution hoses, chemicals etc etc.... draught proofed the door & window and put 4" of polystyrene insulation in the roof.  Installed an electric fan heater which runs on a thermostat, and it has been working really well so far.

Got thermometers all over the place in there... the fan is set blowing down at an angle but it's amazing how half way up the room the air is at 10 but at floor level it's touching freezing!

We're forecast -7 overnight towards the end of the week so that'll be a good test.

Anyone else having problems this morning?

The TM is ok, but I think the diesel in the van is frozen, bloody thing won't start!

Same here in Sunny Cardiff Ash

Just had the heaters replaced in the van engine. Starts first time with frost all over it.

Yeah, I anticipated a problem so I changed glow plugs yesterday, I think the valve in the priming bulb has gone.

That says freezing @-9.5c, it got down to -7c here last night.

Freezing was my initial thought, but now I think I've got air getting in somewhere.

This was the view out the window on my way to pick up some parts today
