Devilish a trader here can possibly help the FBH and dozing pump.
How difficult to fit depends on how good you are with a spanner. Removing the rear seat can be difficult because the "spring" can be difficult to unclip and reclip in place. Fitting hoses can be fiddly and best not done with cold hands as it can be a cramped working space. As for cost, may be cheaper to get a known working one then a second hand untested one. "Common" faults, glow plug becoming high resistance and pcb going wrong. Devilish or frenchmike are the people that can help with the pcb so don't worry if this is dud. I recommend fitting one. I've fitted a FBH to both my cars and think they are such a good idea, I have managed to cobble together a complete spare. Whilst the FBH may be fitted to other makes, the PCB is specific to our cars. If you have a scrap yard near you always worth seeing if they have one macafee2 |

Thing is guys, with the kind of little journeys I’m doing, I’d be warming the FBH up for 20 minutes to drive for 10 or 15…

Without one, you will constantly be driving with a cold engine which isn't good for anything. Boy it must be cold in your car during the winter.

Snow on ice, ice, or frost, you go out to your defrosted motor, listening to scape scrape scrape scrape scrape scrape. Even with your 10-15 min journeys, install a FBH, and you will wonder why you waited so long.

Hi Ian. I am a trader, and I am on here, but I do not trade on here. BIG difference. So it is down to how it is interpreted.
Devilish who trades on here. Devilish a trader on here. Devilish a helicopter pilot on here, would not mean I take members for helicopter rides.
