Fitting a diesel heater and low coolant alarm

[andrewdean]

Hi
I am doing a couple of jobs at the moment.
Fitting a low coolant alarm
And fitting a Chinese diesel heater.
First question... which fuse do I tap into for my alarm?
Next, I will try to upload a picture!
I want to put my heater under the passenger seat but there is a load of garbage from the AC which is disconnected...so can I just chop it all off so I can fix the heater to the frame easily...?
Also does anyone know where I can get a bracket? All sold out on the internet.
Regards

How do you upload a picture to this chat thread?

[g8dhe]

If you want to add images then look down below the text input area and you will see "Options" and "Attachments" Take attachments and then
"Add Files" select the image and choose "Place inline".

For fusing the Coolant alarm use a mini-piggy back fuse holder and the middle row of the internal fuse box far right any of the three fuses Red 10 Amp, Yellow 20 Amp or Green 30 Amp, you will only need a low current 5 Amp or less fuse for protecting the actual wire to the alarm itself.

The bits under the passenger seat need to be moved around to make space see this link for various positions depending on engine/LPG etc. http://www.g8dhe.net/bongo_images/Heate ... ol_bongos/

Hi
Below is a pic of the space under the passenger seat where I will put my heater.
Most of what is there I think is redundant cooling system stuff....can i just bin it?
Mine is a Nreg 2.5 litre diesel.
Ps... fitted the alarm no worries...
Now heater...it's cold!!!!

Picture.... hopefully ....can't find the. Place in line tab!?

[andrewdean]

I don't use the air conditioning and the belt is removed

[g8dhe]

The parts are not part of the Air Con, they are parts of the engine cooling and emission system including vacuum pipes that control the engine, you just need to reposition them around the supports to give the necessary room to mount the heater. Do not ditch the bits !!!

[andrewdean]

Ah...just in time!
Ok they will all be repositioned..
Any clues on adding a picture....it says it's 2.1MB does that affect anything?

In my first post I included a link to pictures taken by others of their installations, if you click the link you can view the images of the areas under the seat.

Hi
Yes I saw your pictures but I don't know how to upload any myself!

Also I don't know how to put a new post up on the forum.

I need to know which is the best cycle rack to get...needs to be for 3 or 4 bicycles!

Does anyone know where I can get the bracket required to attach my Chinese diesel heater under the passenger seat.
I can't find one on the internet they appear to be sold out!
