electric heater pump

[kingdalg]

Hi, due to it being colder than my ex's soul ive desided to fit an electric heater pump to my diesel devon. Do any of you out there have one fitted already? I know they come with some later diesels. Does it make much difference when sitting in traffic? As my heaters arent the best when at a stand still. Cheers

My Diesel heater used to be very cold and not very effective. But i put in some radiator flush and drove it for a few days. Drained it and flushed it through with a hose pipe. Followed all the advice for parking it nose first up a steep hill and bled the air out of the top of the radiator. It gets lovely and toasty. So I would try that first before having to go to the trouble with fitting a heater pump.

Ive done all that. Its really hot when driving but i sit in alot of traffic going work and coming back. Just thought the water pump could do with a hand considering it so far away from matrix.
