You could also have the remote auxillery heater on a Freelander 1 TD4 from late 2000 but for some reason Landrover didn't fit it to the Freelander 2 - well actually they did if you live in Russia

I really wanted this feature which I'm sure most of us would have if it were available....

Why am I not suprised

As above +1

Should have been standard on the HSE BLAH it cost thousands you know

Having said that I think the PTC on the FL2 does a very good job and saves on diesel too

Gets a bit parky in Yorkshire every now and then but I'm sure this is not an option I would want or need factory fitted - to keep pricing competitive it would mean the cost of this would have to be taken off the vehicle elsewhere

No, you just put the price up by 10% and we can have all kinds, tents, roof rails, xenon lights, auto boxes, glue on bodykits etc

Hi! I am going to install a parking heater no my FR2 diesel. I have contacted a Bosch service point and asked about fitting a Webasto heater. They replied that they did not have Webasto installation schemes for FR2, which I found pretty weird. Instead of Webasto they offered me a similar Eberspacher product also with 5kW output. They told, if I insisted, they could, of course, install Webasto as well, but since there are no installation instructions from the manufacturer. So, should I go for Eberspacher? I have heard that both systems are good, but Webasto is more silent, consumes less battery power and are more common, which is a factor to be considered with regard to service, spare parts etc. Any opinions? Thanks!

Good man, what is the cost?

We do not have this in europe so the question could be aimed at our colleagues from Norway etc where I think they are factory fitted.

Of course our in house head technical expert in Yaroslavl (Russia) will at this moment be creating a service fitting procedure so you should await his comments

They would install Ebersparcher for 1.700 Euro with a remote-control or approx. 1.500 without remote-cotrol. I suppose the cost of the heater is around 700, the rest is, what they charge for installation .

mcphersonstrut It's fitted as standard in Russia - see user manual

Not cheap then

Not standard here, but remote warmers seem to be getting more popular - got 2 close to where I live and hear them brumming away when I walk to work.

The norm here is the electrical engine warmer with a fan heater in the coupe. Functions off a timer either in the car or at the wall socket end and a car battery charger is an optional add on. Far cheaper than a diesel warmer, but then you need to be in the proximity of an electrical connection. Many modern work places these days have them in the parking area, so you get a warm car to and from work. 2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

My Brothers heater broke in his Fiesta During December he had to scrape the ice of the inside of his windscreen and stuff a hot water bottle down his coat. 5.30am Kendal to Manchester every day in the snow. It took him 5 hours one day only to be sent home from work, 8 hour round trip -8 no heater. Ouch

No way
