The motor in the heater is whisper quiet. You can obviously hear the air entering the cabin but it’s not as loud as a standard car heater on low.
The pump can be heard clicking away but it’s more annoying (engine off) than noisy. Bit like BB tapping his pencil on the desk whilst reading an immigration post.
Still working a dream as far as warmth goes but I have had to set it at 4kb/inch as 5 just melts your socks.

No complaints here,
I used the mount that was on my webasto pump with the Chinese one, can't hear it at all inside the cab.
The exhaust is the only noise really but a silencer would sort that, I didn't bother.
Engine running you can't hear anything.

I have just bought one, when it arrives in 2025 I will let you know how it goes
You and me both, I have a Webasto coolant heater in my box of "one day I'll get round to fitting" parts and I have to admit that I like the idea of being able to fit it in the back of the Discovery and heat the whole of the interior before we get in and be able to maintain heating in the back when driving with the baby in the back.
Might just order one anyway and get it fitted, it's not exactly a lot of money is it, decent night out on the beer

I was talking to one of the engineers at work tonight. He has fitted dozens of these and was saying 80% have been great but the rest have been junk. He thinks there are several manufacturers and a few of them are poor. Unfortunately he says there is no way of telling who made them as they all look the same.
He hasn’t had any catch fire or blow up or anything but some just self destruct after a few days.

My heater arrived yesterday (apologies to the Chinese man for suggesting it would take 7 years to arrive).
I didn't use the t piece on the fuel line as I was worried that it might affect the fuelling, I drilled a small hole in the plastic top of the fuel gauge sender and stuck the tube down and then sealed with silicone

I installed it under the cubby box, I made a tray to drop down above the gearbox, it sits about 2cm above the top of the opening so I made a wooden frame, screwed the metal lid back on top and put the cubby box back on top, the cubby box sits a little higher but I can live with that. Now to connect it up.

****! I just read this post, that was one of the selling points for me that I could set it to come on in the morning. Back to scraping the inside of the windscreen again

Ive thought about getting one to put in Compo but he is a petrol which means I would have to fit a small fuel tank. How long would 10 litres of diesel last do you reckon?

Ages.(will run on red as well)
I run a cycle water bottle for the lorry. Think at full heat they run less than 1/2 litre per hour. But it won't be on for the hour as it will cycle in & out. Oh & cook you

It should drink a couple of pints of fuel in 8 hours of use on a low setting. This seems to be the norm for overnight use in a truck.
You wouldn’t want it on high for long as it melts the windscreen.
My series takes a medium setting to keep it warm whilst on the move due to the draughty but stationary it gets a tad hot.

I think you'll find it's 'apowagies'.
