Thanks for the input here gentlemen.... makes sense since German domestic versions go a little OTT as far as winter add-ons are concerned. Guess I'll make a point of seeing if the relay energises one freezing morning.

A really good idea IMHO, thought of making one myself but got stuck when I worried about my Eberspacher's cooling down fanned phase..... like we've nodded off, the van's warm, the battery cuts out before the heater timer finishes it's hour. The Eberspacher could be wired in pre-cutout I suppose. Hop...

Just pulling away from home when I couldn't get 2nd gear, or any other gears for that matter. I'd put her into 1st while the preheat was on without trouble. With the engine running there's plenty enough clutch to engage/disengage a gear that's been selected before I turn the engine on but subsequent...

You're right of course! Its a temporary lash-up, and judging by the state of the old fuseholder, I tossed up between 10A & 20A in my toolbox and figured 10A will give me a positive indication while erring on the side of safety.

Forum Pic.jpg Haynes doesn't cover T25 diesels and the orange JK T25 diesel manualette illustrates a filter without any wiring emerging at all. I thought it could a fuel cutoff feature perhaps remaining...

Fwoarr! what a lovely pair of aircools! The preferred context for four eyes IMHO!

OOh defo round ones.... a lovely beaming happy face on a T25 anyday..... unless you prefer the poker snake-eyes or bespectacled look. There's a certain "old guy at a kids disco" thing going on with the squares too...... Nah!

Hey Mick A friend of mine Just had this problem traced to battery earth strap no longer making unadulterated contact with the body. Lights would dim too when the wipers were on. If you suspect your wiper motor, you could check it using a spare battery (with an in-line fuse very close to the +ve term...

Has any brave soul figured out how to access the "spare" blade fuse in position 5? Background: I bought a Sat Nav from Ebay, which came with a large Cig Lighter SMPS power supply terminated with a micro USB plug (Type B) to power the thing. First I have no Cig Lighter socket, and second, ...
