For what they are worth, might be best to just buy a new one.
Could be a motor fault or something to do with wiring/circuit board / component failure. I doubt quality is something that is built into these things.

There is a lot of info on them on farcebook pages , to be honest i do have one as a workshop heater , its three or more years old now, never had any issue , other than it drinks twice the amount of kerosene that the same power eberspacher does in the same time . Not overly impressed with them , they suck the battery dry when in standby too .
They are dirt cheap , and give heat , so if thats all you have , its better than being one of these Sumer only campers that can’t survive without a campsite hook up

:o thanks for the advice it was fitted into the back of the car on a separate battery only to warm it up a bit before I use it early morning or late at night on night shift may have to re invest cheers

I think I see the problem, these heaters will not work below a certain voltage. If your battery is apart from the charging system, the voltage drop when it starts to heat the glow plug may be enough to throw up an error message. They can be reset to run a bit lower, there are plenty of You tube videos out there..( you will need the controller with graphics screen..).

Hope this helps..
