the webasto units are not left or right handed, but because mine is a LHD, I bought a fitting kit from Webasto Switzerland, I will be kicking myself if Tim at MobileCentre can get them
The units vary from £850 - £1100 depending on how nice the dealer is, and the unit comes with prettty much all you need for a standard installation, however I used the Swiss kit because it keeps the unit up out of harms way, easy to service etc. The additional installation kit was about £200. I was told the kits come with the timer unit but mine did not .. so I opted for the square one because I think it looks better on the dash. I also opted to remove the fuel tank and install a seperate feed direct from the tank rather than "T" ing into the fuel pipes. I also opted for the one-way valve as recommended by Daniele All in, with my basic mechanical and electrical skills has taken about 3 days to install and test. @Tim - if you need any info on the kit just drop me a PM but they are LHD only so I would imaging a low demand |

LHD bit was aimed at the veh rather than the install. Cheers James 110 XS Utility 130 Puma Station wagon/camper (in the making) 90 Puma Hardtop |

We are a direct Webasto dealer so can get the LHD & RHD fitting kits. As you say the thermo top C is universal. We fit ours under the wing using some custom brackets so it is out of the way.
When we fit one it is a full (LONG) days job to do it with two people on most of it. |

What kind of heating system is this? To preheat the interior passenger compartment, or to preheat the engine coolant prior to winter cold starting? You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation. http://youtu.be/yVRlSsJwD0o https://youtu.be/vmPr3oTHndg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GtzTT9Pdl0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABqKPz28e6A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLZ49Jce_n0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvAsz_ilQYU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8tMHiX9lSw https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dxwjPuHIV7I https://vimeo.com/201482507 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSixqL0iyHw |
