Just wondering if anybody has a engine preheater for a bmw engined RR 4.4 petrol. Or maybe where to find a second hand unit.

Thanks

Wrong fuel.
Good try though.

It's possible that they can be converted. I remember looking at this idea a couple of years ago. It may be worth re-visiting this idea. If it costs £200 for a diesel fbh and £50 to convert it to petrol then that's a no brainer.

It may be worth an e-mail to Webasto.

They were fitted to any petrol vogue where the buyer ticked that option. As with BMW's, VW's and Audi's.

If Webasto didn't want to sell a petrol one then they wouldn't have developed one. The more likely story is that as 90% of FBH's are diesel and the knowledge even at Webasto on the petrol variant is a bit thin.

Also the Webasto fitters/dealers obviously are not actually Webasto. When I rang my local authorised webasto fitter/repairer they said there is no such thing as a petrol fbh and I didn't know what I was talking about. 

I hope you put them right in your own inimitable way dan?

You using an iPad to double post Jim?  

thanks for all the replys.

I am still looking for one. Does anybody know some good range rover dismantlers that might have this ?

for those that do have a petrol engine heater, how well do they work? It seems like a really great system.

I would doubt you'll find one in a breakers.

They are great, they heat the engine to just off the blue mark and ensure the car is defrosted. Although at -6 this morning it was only just defrosted and the ice water had started to freeze again because I was late getting to the car. Normally its like this:
