Fbh.

what hes trying to say is, its your fuel burning heater, its a device fitted to most td4's to warm the diesel before it gets to the engine. it was his attempt at sounding clever so dont worry about it. he only knows about it because he read of it in another post. welcome by the way

yu sure, Yella - I thought it was a device to pre-heat the water in your engine to enable a warmer heater and quicker getting to temperature.

oh - an yup, i read it.

Welcome to Loonyzone. hope yu got a thick wallet and a thicker skin.

go on then, tell us oh wise one, why is it called a fbh if its to warm the water???

Er, cos it burns the fuel to warm the water, I've got a little timer for mine so you can set it to come on & have your Freebie warm & toastie before you get in

wot he sed ^^^^^

I think yu are thinking of a pre-heater, Yella - to pre-heat the fuel before it gets to the engine.

I think the FBH is made by Webasto.

yer see, were talkin about gaylanders, not a subject im privvy to tbh, whereas you used to own one dit yer, was that before or after yer frontera?????

Land Rover Freelander Accessories Brochure 2003 Issue, Page 37

Engine & Cabin Pre-Heater (Td4 only)
This ingenious system is designed to warm up both the engine and cabin before you drive. Suitable for those cold mornings to help you and your Freelander reach normal operating temperature.
The pre-heater uses the diesel from your Freelander's fuel tank to warm up the heating system. This enables quicker engine warm up, reduced wear and save on fuel. It will also switch on the interior fan heater according to your previously selected temperature and speed.


and so on.......
