The FBH (fuel burning heater) it is faulty I think. There is a How To perhaps in the How To section on how to fault find.
Devilsh a member here on the forum can fix the printed circuit board which are known to fail but you need to test glow plug of the FBH and the water pump to make sure they are ok. The fan you should hear running.

Devilish is your man. He will also fit you a switch to it that you can switch it on and off anytime you like. I use mine when temp drops to around 7 degrees instead of waiting for it to switch on at 5 deg, which is normal. It sounds like the board is up the shute, but could be a diode. Steve will soon tell you what the problem is.
