Trooper 3.1TD Engine Heater

You did indeed, and it was a well-deserved win too.

Same here, some sort of thermostat in the circuit.

Theoretically you could get it from any EU insurance company. I pay ¤1108 for 3rd party, incl. lots of tax and a bit of malus so its not that different I suppose.

I believe so, the so-called common rail models are much quicker..

You've got all winter.

I have tried an experiment over the last two days.

Each of the two mornings I have placed a radiator thermometer (the sort used to balance radiators) over one of the heater grills. When the thermometer reached 10 Celsius I started the engine and allowed it to idle, heater controls being set to full heat. I then recorded the time taken for the thermometer to reach 20 Celsius. On the first day I switched the engine heater on and on the second I left it off.

On the first day (heater on) it took 2 minutes 30 seconds

On the second day (heater off) it took 4 minutes 15 seconds

Mine seems to work. :-)
