It just preheats the coolant which in turn heats the block but you can do wire it in such a way that it also starts the heater motor so it warms the block and the cabin- albeit slower than if you were just heating the block as your loosing heat via the heater matrix.
I chose this one because I reckoned that having less wear on the engine by having a warm block would be better in the long run and the heater would still be warmer quicker than starting from stone cold. Hope that answers your question  Running Restoration Thread http://www.defender2.net/forum/post323197.html#323197

Quick question regarding exhausts...
Does anyone have any reason as to why I could/should not route the exhaust down the wheel arch on the wheel side? Or should I route it on the inside of the engine bay and out down the chassis rail to the floor? I'm trying to work out what parts I'm going to need for exhausts weather to go solid pipe or flexipipe.

I fitted mine down the side of the wheel arch .. No issues
Key thing with diesel heaters is to run them regularly all year round Mines been good as gold for 4 years |

I don't suppose you have a picture of your set up for comparison do you?
And yes I'm a big fan of use it or loose it! Running Restoration Thread http://www.defender2.net/forum/post323197.html#323197 Self confessed mileage hunter |

it wont over heat the engine, you can run it in conjunction with engine but will be different flow rates
for your application you wont need the one way valve if ont feel i haev had three of them in td5 and pumas all worked really well Cheers James 110 2012 XS Utility 130 2011 M57 bespoke Camper 90 2010 Hardtop 90 M57 1988 Hardtop |

Thanks for that JST
I do have picture of it sort of in place but its on my phone and wont come off without a cable which is at home 
I must say I'm really looking forward to getting it sorted and fitted but at the moment the head is the biggest priority  Running Restoration Thread http://www.defender2.net/forum/post323197.html#323197

Not updated this in a while but have got a fair amount done!
Firstly got the water pump for the webasto fitted and the webasto mounted onto a bracket, combined with the repositioned washer bottle.  Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge You will see the water pump attached under the heater box (its a genuine webasto part but not as usually fitted and I cant see the logic in spending another £70 odd quid on a pump to replace a pump? Also got the exhaust pipework loosely assembled, though it does read a bit like a Dr.Seuss book. Click image to enlarge Out from the webasto and round a bend, over the intake then down a bend.... Click image to enlarge Down past the coolant pipe, next to the foot box, then under the flap and into the wheel arch.... Click image to enlarge Then out past the mudflap and along the outrigger, with a gentle bend... Click image to enlarge Out to the atmosphere! What do we think? Also got the wiring progressing and the fuel system coming along. Running Restoration Thread http://www.defender2.net/forum/post323197.html#323197

Not sure Mo....
I haven't been able to sort the fuel line yet or the electrics to it but plumbing wise all seems happy and well
I have actually now got the whole truck running so i have left it for now to allow running in the new head and any snagging but i am hoping now that 90% of it is done the final bits should be achievable in an afternoon. Problem is Miss Shaggydogs 110 is require very urgent attention to its braking system on the front so that has been the priority for this week, thanks the rain though not much has happened on ether trucks
But hey ho, were getting there. One thing I have noticed since putting it all back together is that the 200Tdi heater blower is utter pants compared to the Td5 one. I will have to put a voltmeter on the plug and see what reading I'm getting as it feels like its hardly on at all on full blast despite all the flaps being correctly positioned. Bit pointless having a lovely warm engine block if the heater is too asthmatic to do anything with it  Running Restoration Thread http://www.defender2.net/forum/post323197.html#323197
