I thought this was a good idea. Very simple design, starts every time, never needs sharpening and very economical to run.

Dear All, I have just purchased an Eberspacher diesel heater to fit to our 313D Sprinter and wonder if there is anyone out that has fitted one. If you could give me a few tips to fitting it. The salesman said it would be easy to fit, but I am finding it a bit overwelming. Regards Ron.
