Any more details how you have fitted the Webasto heater? Just about to embark on fitting an M57 myself and want to put the webasto I have in as well.

Thanks

What servo is that Les?

M57 won't need a webasto for getting to temp quickly for the heater. But they are useful for prewarming engine mines fitted same as yours les.so much more room in an m57 bay. Cheers

James,

Servo I bought as a TD5 early Non ABS Ex Stock off Ebay with the expectation of fitting LoF Booster to it, arrived in Genuine LR Box with NSN Number on it, opened to find it already had adaptor on it already and it fitted staight to pedal box

I'm assuming some MOD special for 300Tdi that required extra bracking effort of double servo or indeed very early TD5 poss when ABS was option ? - I did take some pics of part numbers/box if I can find them.

Its for the underdrive, currently it's still sat in the box, seeing if its worth fitting or if I'll ever use it again lol
