webasto heaters

[disco gazza]

Hi guys,
Was wondering if there's anyone thats fitted the webasto heaters to there vehicle.
Am thinking of getting one....am leaving work between 0100-0300 hrs and would like to get into a warmed up vehicle,instead of freezing my knackers off for the 1st 20 mins of my 30 min drive home.
Is there a website that deals in 2nd hand ones as well(besides evilpay:eek:)

Webasto England (http://www.webasto.co.uk/general/en/am_automobile_3177.html)

don't think they are cheap though, try uk ebay maybe ! I wouldn't mind one as i only drive my car at the moment to the station and back, 5 min drive!

After having a look around and I am sure you already found this info but for others who are looking here the cost is 2000-2500 installed. They look quite good. But, your in Sydney, is it really that cold?

If I lived in the snowies or the like it would be a definite purchase. They are very efficent.

I was talking to a Canadian feller recently and he said a lot of people keep their vehicle running 24/7 in the coldest months. Imagine doing that just idling your vehicle over night.. I wonder if a webasto heater would be good enough in super cold areas.

In my earthmoving equipment days, my employers used to market a range of small loaders made in Minnesota. All had a 110v. block heater as standard equipment. This item replaced a core plug in the cylinder block and could be plugged in to a domestic power point when the vehicle was parked. A 240v. one should be available, or use a transformer to supply a 110v. one. I believe the heaters are readily available in cold countries. I bet they cost heaps less than $2500.
