I tried the key dance to check the faults, but I got only P 1685, I think it's related to the key and remote fob. Unfortunately I have only one key and Fob.
I will keep eye on the heater for next few days, if it still will work, then maybe the bulb/led on the panel is faulty.

I'm pretty sure that the heater is running and helping to warm up the engine/coolant. Yesterday morning I didn't switch ON the ac unit on max and auto, in 10 minutes time the engine was just a little bit warm (temperature gauge had little movement), this morning I switched the ac on full blast. First few minutes it was shown message - delay and start counting down from 2.00min till 1.45,then again restarted. But I could feel and heard the heater was running, could smell the smoke to. The best thing is, the engine warmth up to correct temperature in about 8-10 minutes. Maybe the heater is a little bit faulty, but it's still working. I will check the wires over the weekend, maybe some loose contact somewhere.

HiYa Andrips, the Voyagers in my view have a design flaw. The whole design of the suspension & braking system is still in the 50's and inadequate for today's needs, that includes their current new models. My advice is every time shocks -disks - pads - struts - and particularly what we call handbrake parts need replacing - and they will - uprate as well as replace with aftermarket non OEM parts, OEM parts it seems to me are designed for vehicles weighing half of the 2.1 UK ton they are. That said its a gorgeous car for the money and a pleasure to drive if its looked after right.. !

Looks like the axillary heater is very temperamental or faulty, it's not working each time 
I couldn't get under the car to check out, I found the heater box under the car, but could not lift the car high enough to get under. Will have a word with local serviceman.

I did forgot about the minimum fuel level to get the heater starting. I think should be at least third of the tank full? I filled up yesterday and the heater was working yesterday and today morning. Still no arrows but I can hear it again.

To get aux. Heater to start , ofcourse with engine running
1. set heat to max
2. engine temp. must be under 65gC.
3. out side temp under 10-12gC.
Manny times the engine termostat is wide open and aux.heater is running all the time and will after a while make an self-destruction.
New thermostat and new burner housing and it's running again.
