without anyway for the air to get to the demisters, buy yourself something to wipe the screen with, or drive with the drivers window open a tad... or stop breathing..

Regarding the hole, cover it up... you may find a lid of something will do but a few strips of gaffer tape did the trick for me when I ran without a heater

You can by electrical demisters, for about £20 from motor world. I fitted one of these until my new matrix arrived. In fact i still have it as its good to clear my half of the window before the heater gets warm.

I screwed mine to the dash and pointed it towards the windscreen. They come with a cigarette lighter attachment, but i cut mine off and ran it to the fuse box. They are only really good for just about one half of the windscreen and comprise of a little fan (like a computer one) and a heater element. They say they draw 200 Watts which is about 16 Amps so prepare for your electrical system to take a beating.
