I assuming that one of these would be a good investment and easy to fit? Got to do lots to save engine wear at this time of year + it would be to get instant heat not 3 miles down the road! Has anyone fitted one? What would you recommend?

I'll add it to the list of things to buy that I don't have the skill to fit

He's too busy buying bits, the landy dosent move off the drive!
Webasto offer a fitting kit, which places the heater unit on the passenger wing side of the engine bay. |

I'm looking into one of these. I just had a chat with a really helpful guy called Stuart at www.mellorautoelectrical.co.uk and he was telling me that after christmas webasto are changing their pricing structure. the units themselves are going up by 10% and they're no longer going to include the basic timing module in the kit. So basically the price for the whole unit is going to go up by about 140 quid ex vat. I asked if he would be interested in doing a group buy rate to include installation but he said they don't have the manpower. Anyway, there you go.

If you look at the watermark, I think you'll see he's shown Entreq's promo pictures, not his One that started out as a 2.4 TDCi 110 XS + New Defender 110 First Edition |

I'm just waiting for a price on that, since there's no point in getting the entreq product if the webasto kit includes a decent enough bracket and the price is similar. |
