antony110 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Hi Ive brought an ex bt eberspacher diesel night heater, its one that plumbs into the heater system, I was just wondering where people have put them in the past? I've heard in the battery box but didn't really want to put there any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puffernutter Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 I've got a cabin heater (blown hot air) type in my 110 and it sits under the drivers seat. I can send you some pictures if that helps. Cheers Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antony110 Posted June 7, 2012 Author Share Posted June 7, 2012 That's a good idea.if you have some handy, but don't go out of your way thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketomcat Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Mine is also under drivers seat and blows out into rear foot well. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel May Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 My son had one in his 110 hardtop, it was mounted at the rear rh side on the wheel arch right at the back with the exhaust coming down behind the rear wheel. Worked well inside the vehicle, the ony problem was that after once some paticularly vigorous off-roading the exhaust had to be cleaned out to remove all the excess mud that was blocking it.

reb78 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 If it plumbs into the heater system (like a webasto), then it would probably need to go in the engine bay to make the plumbing easy like poohbears thread here: http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopic=72421 If its an air heater, like mine (mines a D1LC), then i fiund under the second row seats was perfect. Mine is fitted as in Gromits thread here: http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopic=18347 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Blowing into the heater box under the bonnet is another option. Mine's on the ceiling at the back of the truck to keep it out of the muck, but it struggles there so it's going nearer the front when I get time.

PieEater3142 Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Have a look at my project page for where I mounted mine. I was aiming to get the engine hot first as opposed to the cab http://forums.lr4x4....showtopic=65212 But you can plumb it differently depending on your preferences. Good and bad point from my experiences. Can use the Ebersacher water pump to get rid of airlocks when refilling the rad, however you can introduce far more when you mount it up high... DOH. Mounted as best I could with what I had. Suggest you spend some serious time deciding how you want to mount it all up first before you start cutting pipework etc. I got the adapters from ebay and are AP something silicone ones. And yes I realise the silencer is going to come off on the first real bump.... But again worked with what I had and will mod when it falls off. On the plus side the passenger footwell heats up nicely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antony110 Posted June 8, 2012 Author Share Posted June 8, 2012 Many thanks everyone food for thought, ideally I wanted it under the bonnet so going to look at the as one of the first options I think! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reads90 Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 My dad used to have them in his 110's and he had them under the drivers seat with the vent coming out in the rear foot well behind the driver. And the thermostat on the dash (null) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 What model Eberspacher are you fitting? I am just about to fit my D2 Airtronic, as I have a a TD5 I don't have space under the front seats so am going to put it under the 2nd row seats. Jason.

antony110 Posted June 9, 2012 Author Share Posted June 9, 2012 Thanks for the ideas guys , It's a DW5 Jason it's from an ex BT Van it isnt the hot air type but a water one and deigned to plumb into the vehicles plumbing system to warm the engine up, it automatically turns of at set temp, but my idea is for it also to run an Auxillary heater inside of the truck as well, ideally want it out of the inside of the vehicle, little worried about carbon dioxide poisoning! Plus will be best under the bonnet, didn't think it would fit, but thanks to some above posts I now know it will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Ah, I have a DW5 but am away at the moment so can't take any photos it is under my bonnet next to the heater, again TD5 but there is space there it's mounted to the wing next to the heater matrix. The exhaust goes out into the wheel arch, don't think you need to worry about CO2 poisoning as it vents really well via the exhaust, Jason.

antony110 Posted June 9, 2012 Author Share Posted June 9, 2012 Thanks Jason that would be great, I'm not in a rush if you don't mind, when you get time hat would be great might pick your brains when I come to fix it in if that ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
