Technical self contained additional heater

[guizzo]

Hi everyone,
I'm new to multiplas, I've just bought a 53 reg jtd elx, it's a great car, I've always liked them, does anyone know anything about the self contained additional heater (page 75 handbook), is this an optional extra that I probably haven't got, I don't have any remote control that it goes on about.
Thanks Guizzo.

Well sorry for trying to help!

Unfortunally we dont know what your talking about as need more information... page 75 in my book is door locks.

Page 75 in my book does indeed refer to 'Self-Contained Additional Heater (For Engine JTD Versions)'.

I understand that that for some North American and Northern European markets where extremely cold temperatures are an issue this heating system is an optional extra to keep the engine coolant/oil from freezing and to stop your backside from freezing to the seats. In those markets, extra heating units used to be common, particularly in the old air-cooled VW Beetles and were fuelled by petrol from a small separate tank.

It's fairly common in Fire Stations in the cooler parts of Britain to have a plug-in heater system that automatically unplugs from the Machine when it drives out of its bay in the fire station. For the same reasons!

Thanks zundapp, that explains it, I might buy one of those plug in 12 volt heaters like you can get on ebay as long as it's less that 180 watt.
Do you like zundapp bikes ? I've got a few old 50's bikes.

Hi Guizzo,
I used to be into older east european bikes, but due to space (lack of), at the minute I've just got my daily used 1000cc Varadero and an ex army Can-Am Bombardier in desert colours.

I haven't actually used the Bombardier on the road for about five years - it's used for vintage shows and steam rallies. It is quite nice to ride though, although the power band's a bit peaky!

What stuff do you have?
