An easy option is to mount it in your front wing and plumb the output pipe into the existing heater system . Keeps it tucked out of the way and you don't lose any space anywhere and keeps the operating noise to a minimum .
I've my diesel heater coupled to an auxiliary battery to make sure, it will not drain the starter batteries. Well explained job. Thanks for sharing and keep on rolling!
An easy solution is in an insert below the central cubby box. Out of the way and you can mount air intake and exhaust higher so there is less risk of flooding.
I’m glad you said all you did! I kept thinking what about this and that then you just stated the answer to the problems I was imagining may occur with your layout! Good work mate for the vid and the layout
Strata Florida, as good a test as any. I decided to buy an all in one and mount it on a hook bracket on the rear tyre carrier (Hilux Surf). Keeps all of the noise and potential gas leaks outside, easier to fill, and only 2 power wires to plumb inside to the battery. Fingers crossed it will work how I want it to.
Did you ever fit to wheel carrier? Interested as I had a surf ssrg but now run a Patrol which has a wheel carrier same as surf. Looking at keeping spare wheel but some way that heater will fit into "dish" of wheel. Rather that than fit heater inside car. Heater pipe, I guess need to cut hole in door but ok with that.
On my LHD 4-door camping-converted Defender 110 Td5 I have a Eberspächer mounted under the cubby-box (on the outside) above the gearbox, with the heater blowing through a hole drilled where the rear passenger footwell is. The car is also equipped with an extra battery. The installation was done by the previous owner. I fits rather good but I can't be driving through any deep water.
Brilliant video, thank you. I have just bought my heater (£80), not arrived yet. I’m buying a under the cubby box , box from Mud UK and will be plumbing it into the fuel line so no separate fuel tank. I’ll let you know how I get on. But your vid has convinced my that this is the way forward as my fitted heater is pathetic 😂
Nice video, just installing one of these myself... Have to say it seems a bit bonkers to put the tank right next to the heater... Especially when it's on its side!
@@BorisTheDefender Why didn't you simply replace the fuel cap with a bent nozzle filler with cap or bent spout & cap? That way the fuel canister and heater could have been pushed properly straight inside the space, as well as making refills of fuel much easier.
mate you should move the battery/ies to that side and use the passenger side for the heater.. it seems bigger but I don't have a 110 I have a 90 300tdi

Yeah that’s a good idea, would get a bit weathered with the off-roading I do though haha
That sounds good, any pics, please.

Have you done it ?
Just about to do it, any pics or advice.

Great video I'm definitely going to try one as my 110 is so cold you could transport beef

Love it, Im now playing with solar panels and storage batteries on my 110, If your ever in Norfolk, look me up
Seen somewhere else , to suspend the pump in mid air with cable ties so its not actually touching anything , this will reduce the noise
Yea I’ve heard that too. I just insulted mine really well
Insulated haha
@@BorisTheDefender Im picking my Defender Camper up later this week or beginning next week. Cant wait to get out and about !!
I got a Planar “suitcase” diesel heater for my boat. It’s portable so u can lend it to others or use it in yur car or ev or tent.
Yeah they look good!

It’s got a heat shield

@@Globetrotter-1 Do you have a link to this idea ? Im having the same problem
I like the previous thumb better. Do you have any photos in snow? May do better as thumb 🙄
Yay! Nice topic

TD5 has the ecu in there...
My brian is in the seat box....damned td5s
Great idea! Nice video. 👍🏻
Hi love the vids does the heater get hot and is it safe nxt to fuel tank
If the heater catches fire & melts the fuel tank, then the diesel will put the fire out ... Its not like petrol lol
Do you use an auxiliary battery or depend on the existing one?
I just use the main battery. It holds up well and I also use the Jackery for all other accesories
@@BorisTheDefender Ok Thanks.
Cracking vlog buddy
that's where I have my ECU...TD5 problems :/
Crazy that these are now nearly 3 times as expensive since last year
