V70 Cabin heaters - available in UK?

[jinkster]

Are cabin heaters available in the UK for the V70? Which model and which year generally has it.

(basically its like a little diesel heater that you can start remotely from what I understand)

[mybrainhurts]

Cabin? Do you mean the heater that keeps the block warm in sub zero temps to reduce wear on start up?

He means the Webasto auxiliary heater that yup find in the Discovery and higher end cars. They burn diesel and heat the engine coolant.

So yeah maybe a block heater, but not the electric hook up ones you see in Northern countries.

Ah, yes, the good old STANDHEIZUNG...

[Hainey]

yeah that's the bugger. I'd love one on my S60 so I might have a look at the wiring and take some brave pills. How hard could it be?

Thats the one! Will be really useful in this weather to pre-heat the car instead of scraping the global warming off the car at 4am!
