I think it's the heater, anyway. A loud squeaky noise comes from somewhere apparently behind the speedo (etc.) when the fan's on. Is there a way to lubricate or otherwise fix this so that it works without squeaking, without taking (too many) bits off?
under the bonnet remove the cover over the heater fan and squirt some lube on each end of the fan motor while it is spinning. very common problem, next stage would be that it seizes and blows the fuse.

I'll have a go - is the cover the bit just in front of the windscreen, with a rubber bit around it? Where all the dead leaves and debris collects?
That is the one, a big bit of thin plastic. take that off and the fan is below, you can do it in situ or take it out (only two bolts)

You might want to have a look a see if there is a bit of dried leaf stuck around the heater inlet somewhere, and fouling the fan when you switch it on ...
