Using a Hair drier to start the car?

[That Ruddy Squirrel]

hmm how much for fitting one??

Zipp !!!

You will need to wire up a switch and relay, but we aint talking rocket science.

If you order one make sure you stipulate you want 10mm pipes otherwise it comes with 6mm and they are a waste of time

Thats just a fuel heater, I thought you where talking about core plug heaters and electric water pumps to preheat the engine.

many wagon and coaches and a lot of marine applications use webasto,eberspacher applications.this essentially uses the vehicle fuel to heat the engine coolant and circulate it without the engine running.
i had one fitted to a double deck coach i used to drive,and down in the coldness of austria in the middle of winter it was ace.i used to set it an hour before we were due to go out and it sparked up,criculated the coolant and heated the interior radiators,and when it came time to go out
the inside was nice and warm and the engine temp was already half way warm

I'ts 12v, and sited just before the filter (I am considering fitting a 2nd after the filter).

I switch it on once the glowplugs have got Hippo started.

It's got a built in thermostat which will turn it off once the block has reached a set temp (I think it's 55c)
