household adapter through the cig lighter? not sure if it could kick enough wattage out though to make heat.

It really would be better/safer to just fix it... then you don't have to worry about it. It's not that bad a job

Aircon you say? In the words of that bloke of Dragons Den: Hilary Devey - I'm out

Im sure you can buy heaters on ebay that plug into the cig lighter socket dont know how safe it would be tho :/
RE: Household heater idea - samass - 21-10-2012
probably great at melting wiring. if you're set on a heater, then hench up the wiring from the alternator to the battery, and get a hench wire from the battery. probably want to get a more powerful alternator too.
still, wouldn't advise it lol

Yh id say great at melting wires and proberly set fire to the interior aswell. Wouldnt want to try it myself but must be safer than bodging a house hold heater in lol
