Drove it from Vancouver - Tsawwassen - Duke Point and home to Duncan, went like a dream. Diesel gauge hardly moved, unlike the wife P38.

Its a 2000 TD5 110. It came from Germany 2 years ago. Has a factory fitted diesel fuel block heater, but I can't seem to get it to run. I think its a Webasto. It seems to power up on acc ignition, but I can't hear the fuel pump for it run. The pump seems to be on top of the diesel tank. Certainly would be nice this time of year. It drives good, tall geared with the big tires on, but I have a spare set of D1 wheels with snow tires on. Needs a tach fitting and a boost gauge.

The Webasto is controlled by a timer that is probably on the dash. It should run for 15 to 20 minutes before the vehicle is started. It may also have come with a remote fob style starter, but most likely it's just the timer to operate.
