yes also some ford galaxys older models remember you also need the ecu to go with them

its own or car main one?
wonder if you could just bypass and wop 12v into it?
-
it has its own ecu and fuel pump as well these will be needed to get it fired up

The pump you can see in the vid is the genuine metering pump, will defo not work with a facet.. and the ecu is built into the unit.

Look on ebay.de and a few companies sell control units for them, some are even sms activated using a smart phone. Wake up put kettle on, send your car a sms and tell the heater to heat the water, leave the house and start with coolant and engine already up to temp!
I am going to fit one in my next car!

I have a unit taken out of a Mk2 Galaxy that one day I will get to play with.. I fancy a couple of rads in the workshop heated from bio. And an air unit fitted in my camper
Both the Galaxy's we run have them but neither are working for whatever reason, I am yet to investigate. They have 2 temp sensors they rely on, one to let it know ambient temp is below 5c (fitted up under the scuttle panel) and the other is the engine temp sensor which tells it the engine is below 70c. Below both of these temps the unit should kick in to aid quick warm up.

sounds interesting. i assumme they are only fitted to the diesel rover 75s. how hard is it to take one out? thinking of raiding the local scrapyard for one. there must be a lot of old rovers and galaxys in scrapyards. as the price of scrap is low at the moment i suspect they will be stockpiling the cars till the price gets better. if they are like most heaters i suspect an angle grinder and big hammer might be handy.

The Galaxy ones are Eberspacher units, a few bolts a couple of pipes and they are out.... don't forget the pump.. it's mounted over the other side beside the fuel tank and is about £70 to buy ! ! All I can see you would need to make one work is the cheapest controller they do.

I have an eberspacher D2 and a much older B4 unit (both air heaters, not water)
On the older B4, there's 4 parts - the burner, the control unit, thermostat, and pump. The pump is just a generic diaphragm pump, the thermostat just a thermostat, but the control unit and the burner itself are eberspacher only.
On the newer D2 unit, there are 3 parts - the burner, which has the control inside it, the pump, which is an eberspacher only part, and the 'interface box' part, with a little LCD on it. The 'interface box' is nothing special though - its an eberspacher part, but it could just be replaced with a switch or a stock thermostat, but the other parts are required / eberspacher only.
This may give some minor insight to whats needed on the similar units.

What are you like with the wiring on the Eberspachers Julian?, i was going to start another thread later with some questions
-
Been trying to find out about what's fitted to the Galaxy but it's a little unclear.
It looks like they have the Esparcher air heater, do they also have a coolant heater as well?
Rover 75 looks like a good bet as does the Skoda Fabio/Octavia II for having a "parking heater" fitted as an option - see here:

I tend to forget things that i probably wont need again.
Most of what i did know was either from my landrover club (the B4 was fitted to the 101 forward control ambulance) or from my local (at the time) eberspacher service agent. They (colchester fuel injection) were real helpful with the D2 unit.
I may still know something of value to you, but, if its a case of "do i cut the red wire or the blue wire!!", then its doubtful...
I will have some pdfs somwhere though, but not all units seem to match up with the pdfs with regard to the looms (my D2 does not, and other people's dont seem to either)

No air heaters on the Mk1 and 2 at least.. or the Sharan Mk1 and 2. Only the coolant heater fitted just in front of the N/S rear wheel, intake goes into the N/S inner sill and exhaust under the rear susp wishbone. (Eber I am fairly certain too)
Some rare versions have a control unit up by the front courtesy light that you can set the heater going before starting the engine, most including the Ghia X I have just come on if ambient is below 5c and the engine below 70c, needs both of these to run and the engine running. The MK2 runs when ambient below 10c and engine 70c.
