Group: Committee Members Posts: 823, Visits: 5.2K	Hi Guys, Anyone have a webasto pre-heater fitted in their truck..? I have a control unit in the glovebox and a pre-heater in the engine bay and no idea how it works! Done a google search whcih hasnt turned up anything useful, and I am wondering if there is a bit missing, or if this bit missing is just a cover...... Now the weather is realy getting chilly I want to set the truck to warm up for a few minutes prior to getting in at dark & cold O'clock in the morning. Any help appreciated. Thanks Andi Best Regards Andi BG08VFW UK & Ireland Selections Vehicle Fleet Number 1

Hopefully I will now have a warm car in the morning, or an empty fuel tank! Cheers Andi Best Regards Andi BG08VFW UK & Ireland Selections Vehicle Fleet Number 1

One lesson learned - if you leave PAYG sim cards too long without using them, the network reclaim the number. So remember to phone the car every couple of months to keep the sim card live, or you'll find your snazzy preheater will do sweet FA when you really need it to. Lottie 'n' Matt 2008 D3
