Hi all , I have a td5 disco fitted with a webasto diesel burning pre heater ![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
It has a small electric pump fitted behind it which appears to have sprung a small coolant leak ! I haven't investigated properly yet but have priced the 2 pipes that fit on either side of it (£10 for both
) however my supplier has said the pump itself is discontinued !
So question 1 is where can I get one IF it is the pump leaking ?

Also I have seen these before and all of them came on automatically below 5 degrees ambient but didn't have an electric pump instead relying on the engines water pump for circulation also they've all had only one plug on the actual heater unit , now mine has 1, a pump , 2, 2 plugs on top and 3, I'm sure it's never come on ! Could it be that the one I have is the remote switch on variety that requires a plipper ? If so I haven't got one but could I just buy one from somewhere ?

Lastly spec plate to maybe help identify what exactly I have![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
