Well i'm still waiting for Berger Camping and Yodel to work out who has my parcel... However i did manage to find the correct relay and test the 'fans on without ignition' approach. Basically you inject 12 volts on the output pin (87) of the relay. It worked. Nice thing about a changover...

I shall make sure i park it so i trip over the cord first when getting in. Safety first....

It's an electric one so plugged into a socket on the outside of the garage (or even inside if i feel all fancy) and then just a Hive remote control plug (or just a time plug) to switch it on. It triggers the blower fans when the coolant is hot to defrost cabin as well...

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...

yep! and the website let me book it too

It's managed to transport my plutocratic backside across fields, into the Queen's representative car park at Ascot and into London so it must be a RR. It also has a special cloaking device which means it doesn't offend people as much as modern ones...

Correct. It is THE RR

i wonder if they've lost their Tapley....they managed to MoT it last year!

i just intrigued what vehicle they think they're testing!

ooooh, Mr Modern! I bet you have those new fangled anti-roll bars too!
