Electric (240v) coolant heater
So I’ve searched the forum for this and can’t find a recent answer… Daisy (2.4TDCI) lives in the garage so has access to power, is there an electric coolant heater I could install (prob as a circuit off the heater matrix) so that coolant is warmer before she starts. The morning journey is only about 30mins so I want her (and me) to be warmer sooner. Had one on my old Bronco when I lived in the USA on a timer in the garage and it worked really well.
Anyone done this (good and bad) and any thoughts on kit from ebay cheapy, T7 up to webasto. 2.4TDCI 90 - everyday brilliance
S3 V8 Lightweight - in the garage being ignored #newchassistime
S3 lightweight - 2nd car 24V fire risk with a full tilt and the windscreen down
S1 80" - first car fun - 75mph in neutral downhill once #wobblesallround

If you serach https://www.defa.com/ you will find the products you are looking for. It is a simple circulation pump with heater or even just a static heater in the cooling circuit.

Of course you should take Webasto into account as well, more indipendent use.
