Found one of those 12 volt 300 watt ceramic heaters on sale, and for once its cheaper here than in the UK. Just have to fit it now.

Got the discs in ready to change the brakes.

Disco's back at the welder's though so it won't be this weekend.

Just quickly fitted a new ceramic electric heater, couldn't find anywhere to mount it so thought I would try it there. No sure its going to work. My thinking is it will blow hot air towards the windscreen on a cold morning. If any one has come up with a better place to mount one of these I would be very pleased to see it.

What about between the seats on the bulkhead facing up? That's where I'd put mine, if I didn't have a centre seat that is. I wouldnt mind getting one as they look the next best option besides a FBH but I've got a truck cab so am a bit tight for space. Plus my heaters work anyway

Might it cook the headlining and interior light there? I bet you'll get some heat discolouration over a period of time.

Sorry, that sounds really negative. It's not meant to be. You're going to be a lot more comfortable in there wherever it's mounted.

I was torn between the top of the bulk head behind the seats or on the roof. I went for the roof as I thought it would less likely to get damaged there.
My heaters are not very good, I have changed the thermostat three times, removed the viscos fan and fitted an electric one. Tried a rad muff. Flushed out the heater matrix. My engine just doesn't seem to get hot. And I have to drive about 15 miles before the temperature gauge moves off cold.

Would be nice if it throws out that much heat. I could live with the discoloration.

It only took five minutes to fit so if it is scorching the roof (nice) I could then try the top of the bulkhead behind the seats.

as I was working in our nice sunshine again today, cutting more free scrap wood down then bagging it then loading it into my van - oops, disco with the seats folded down,
I lifted the bonnet and had a quick check round of oils - still good, water, screen wash all good.
I then decieded to give my twin batteries a charge with my smart charger.
OK, my old disco always starts, but what the heck, I was there, so I connected it.
must say it was fascinating when going back and checking the input rate at times.
really does vary while its "smart function" was operating.
time was up to go and deliver my "van load" of bagged cut wood, so charger, lead, & tools all put away and....................

disco just started as It always does - bless it..
