Clearly i need my head examined, but looking forward to chillier days i've taken the plunge and bought a Webasto top 20 electric preheater. I don't really need it apart from at home so the electric route seemed sensible.
Waiting for the package to arrive from Berger camping, but plan so far (to be updated with many, many exciting pictures....)
1. Tap the coolant system just behind the filling chimney before it goes into the heater matrix.(hose into Websato then hose out joined with a couple of 90degree brass fittings)
2. Identify the heater blower relay in the engine bay and piggy back the output pin
3. Take the trigger feed from Webasto to a new relay giving a 12v source to the output pin on the blower motor
4. Tea & medals etc
The thinking on the relay pin piggyback is this avoids having to mess around with ignition feeds etc as it effectively does away with it.
Just waiting on Yodel...
