Barna Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Few pictures about my dual battery installation. Use volt sensitive relay for charge control, HD solenoid and 35mm2 lead between the two batteries. Maybe can help for somebody Installed Eberspacher D5S into my Disco. If someone interests, I can upload some photos about it too. Barna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Hi. Looks neat - the eberspacher heater install pics would also be of interest. Did you do anything to provide a cold air feed to the airbox, or are you happy with the air coming from within the engine bay? Presumably you removed the pipe that feeds air into the airbox from the inner wing? I did similar with mine, but wanted to fit a snorkel as well, and the whole thing got a lot more involved!

Cheers Mark Hi, I had no other choice as remove the cold air pipe. Still no problem with the engine performance for me. Currently the temperature is 30-35 degree here (Hungary) and with aircon not feel a big difference with or without cold air pipe. I know this is not the best, but the second battery is very closed from the air inlet, so I can't come round the battery with other pipe. I think the only solution to install Snorkel. About the Eberspacher. I'll take some picture. It was not to esay for me to install into the Disco, because the D5S has no built in water and fule pump. So I had to find good place for that in the engine bay. Barna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eberspacher D5S (from Ebay) with external fuel and water pump Home made bracket for heater External water pump (Mercedes electric coolant pump. Magnetic drive, no shaft) Not the best fixing, but about the pipes route this was the only good place for me.
