We had our first frosty morning of the Autumn today up here in Manchester which got me thinking about whether it would be possible to speed up the heating of the water in the heater core. If I were to buy a 12V PTC heat element e.g. one of these (they do a cooler 25W version too) and then stick it to the heater core using some thermal epoxy, do you think it would work? Or would I end up setting the car on fire?! :devil:
Maybe I could add a small sealed battery too, hook it up to a remote controlled relay and warm the car up 10 mins before setting off for work at 7am...:idea:
