Put a speculative bid in on eBay for a 24V Eberspächer diesel heater:
I think it's a D8LC air heater, so possibly a bit overkill for British winters, but we can always open a window! Can anyone confirm or deny this?
Before anyone says it's a diesel heater when I've got a petrol Pinzgauer, I know, but you can run these on kerosene which is cheaper and I'd be installing an auxiliary tank anyway as don't like T-ing into existing fuel lines.
By the way, it only cost me £20!

It's no problem, just wanted to know if I'd accidentally bought the correct heater - it certainly looks very similar although I'm guessing the BN4 is 4000W, not 2000W like this one - should certainly keep the inside warm, though - roll on winter!

I am officially an idiot
Despite getting my heater working OK, the wiring wasn't quite the same as the manual so thought I'd "fix it".
Still not getting any voltage to the glow plug so thought I'd give it a bit...
...it glowed OK, for a brief moment, then it stopped glowing. That is why they fit a large series resistor for the 24V heater.
As far as I can tell, you can't buy this particular glow plug any more - it's a Beru GS163 and the only place Google lists is some reference site in Italy
Aaaarrggh!!!
