Hello. Has anybody fitted one to a discovery 1? Im thinking of fitting one into the engine bay. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks
No need to mount in a box they are reasonably tough, even if water gets in and screws the ecu, a new ecu and timer is about 40 quid.Thanks for the replies. Im thinking of removing the non working aircon. Making a box and fitting it there. I would run the heater outlet pipe through bulkhead into the cabin somewhere. Ive seen them mounted on the chasis before but they look hard to get to to repair and service. It will have its own fuel supply
Iirc at full bore they use 1/2 a litre an hour.Thanks again for the advice. I could take the cd autochanger out and mount under the seat. I would like to run it from a seperate fuel supply as i can get red diesel. Is there room under the seat in a 300tdi for one?
I would think that is an over-estimate on the fuel consumption. My 4KW diesel stove uses 0.2 of a litre an hour on low flame, 0.4 of a litre on high flame.Iirc at full bore they use 1/2 a litre an hour.
Maybe mounts the heater under the seat as per Hughes pics, then fit the red tank under the bonnet?
There is a few FB pages for the chinese diesel heaters, and some people reckon poor fuel causes issues with carboning up the burner chamber, always worth an ask.
I am unsure of current eber/webby prices, but I do know the spares I needed to repair the broken webasto on our boat were 50 quid more than a whole new chinese heater!I would think that is an over-estimate on the fuel consumption.

A lot of people on the cut have the chinese fuel heaters, and they like them.
They may not be quite a good as an Eberspacher, but at a third the price, you can afford to replace the whole thing if it goes tits up.
a stove isn't a heater though is it next time i run a heater i'll see how much fuel it uses on full chatI would think that is an over-estimate on the fuel consumption. My 4KW diesel stove uses 0.2 of a litre an hour on low flame, 0.4 of a litre on high flame.

It is a heater, and runs 3 radiators as well as heating a tank of water via a calorifier.a stove isn't a heater though is it next time i run a heater i'll see how much fuel it uses on full chat
