Hi there!
For a couple of hours I have trying to locate dandywarhol's diesel heater fitting help/guide using the advanced search - but unfortunately to no avail!
Thus, if anyone could post the link here, I would really appreciate this.
Cheers from New Zealand
Dirk

@g8dhe: Thanks for the hint. Yet, I do not understand as under "Members" I cannot find any factsheets.
Sorry, but I am a complete novice to this forum.
Cheers
Dirk

What do you need to know? Mine was on 97 diesel so easier than later models. Basic steps are
- make a bracket. Mine is mounted just inside the chassis rail, bracket attached to existing mountain points on the rail itself and to the doorstep via riveting.
- drill some holes for air intake and exhaust. I chose passenger door step for footwell back of engine hump (for want of better word) at the center front of rear
- Tap into fuel line and install pump
- Run some pipes
- Run some electrics
I will add a few pictures which should help

I should clarify, the red circle pipe in picture 2 is an aircon line, the picture just highlights where the heater is position wise
I tapped into fuel line drivers side and mounted pump to chassis rail. The line gets from side to side on the topside of the bar / tube that under the engine, it’s an obvious safe place well away from any heat or chance of damage
I’ll get a few more pics today
Exhaust is on passenger side, it’s got a silencer so 2m max run so is situated just at the back of the sliding door
