Finally got around to finishing it off, not as tidy as i would like but it works and thats all that matters in my book.
In a nutshell, heater bolted to clutch pedal box, fuel pump, bolted to brake pedal box, heater pipes run over the top of the motor to the matrix, fuel tank fitted in front of the pas reservoir, fuses by the fuel filter, exhaust exits under the steering column and er thats it!
This is a petrol heater as i had it on my last merc and was brand new from a disco 3, all wiring, fuel pump and timer bought from a guy on ebay, was going to convert it to diesel but new burner assy was 175 quid!
Stuff still to do, fit some proper pipe clips to the fuel lines and p clip them down, and reroute the coolant pipes as i dont like them.
Performance heated the coolant to 60 degc in approx 25 mins.
Fuel consumption .50 litres per hour at full power, from memory when i had the heater on the merc a couple of years ago i set it to run for 15 minutes and that was enough to take the edge of the cabin and have enough immediate warm air to demist/defrost the screen straight away.
So 15 mins running is 1/4 litre of petrol so roughly 35pence for the pleasure of a non frozen 90 got to be worth it!
