Daniele - so the daily drive webasto kit does not touch the entreq fuel cooler guard ?


No touch areas, the heater is positioned completely "over" the crossmember, the entreq fuel cooler guard is fixed under (see the nut insert on crossmember), and it protects very well the heater from splash and dirt.......

Installed also the by-pass valve for do not decrease the original cabin heater efficiency she the heater is switched off

Daniele, I guess for driving though you have a cap for the exhaust?

I love your set up and I know with your attention to detail it will be exactly right, but for me, for driving offroad there is no way I would put one under there.

I had a Webasto on a TD5 90 i had,,
Excellent bit of kit,, even had the remote control set up,, took 10 mins or so , was even connected to a hot water shower system Thumbs Up

Tried to justify the set up on the Puma,, but does not get the use to warrant the cost !! California F1, 75th 110 "Kermit", 50th Ann V8, 90 V8 Hybrid, 55 Series 1

The only cons is the lower position.... but I use my car for light off-rad

The pros are the very short water pipes length so you have a very high heater efficiency and the accessibility for the future maintenance/checking operation.

For the fuel tank accessibility I have done a "hole" directly on the rear floor and covered by a "strong" 3mm aluminium plate screwed with rivet nut inserts and foam gasket


the ending results is similar to this one....

For the kind of use that I do is the best compromise, I'm thinking about that a lot of months and finally........ Discovery 5 td6 HSE Stornoway Gray Outback Engineering Limited Edition

Got a FBH in the RR and my last one too. Great and useful bits of kit but by jimminy do they drain your battery if its not in A1 condition. Nice to be able to press the remote in the morning while taking an espresso before leaving in the cold and dark of winter. Thumbs Up

Luckily I just put a brand new battery in so I can use mine with impunity once more. 2016 D4 HSE

yes but you need to cut it 100mm.

And I re-cover it (done by a upholsterer) with "eco"leather with the same colour of the roof console Discovery 5 td6 HSE Stornoway Gray Outback Engineering Limited Edition

Good idea,

So do you find the console in the way at all, or does it not hang down to much? Russell
