My FBH has given up the ghost. My Indie says its probably the spark (?) plug and that there might be a service kit for it but Webasto rep (I think) says he can't get one. A new heater is £900 or so. Does anyone know of a service kit - or any other work around to save having to buy a whole new unit? Would consider buying a second hand one from breakers but depends on how much and there's always the risk that it will fail after a couple of weeks. Anyone aware if these units are prone to failure? Oh, and before anyone says anything, yes I do use my heater a lot so its probably my fault it needs a service. Robin

I think you may mean Glow Plug, used to be able to buy these separate from L/R, but they are not cheap either around (£250.00) and might be a expensive "try it and see". You certainly used to be able to buy parts/service kit's for both Webasto and Eberspacher heaters as we used to repair quite a few truck ones, but I can't for the life of me remember where we used to buy them from in the UK as it was a while ago now.

I really am losing the plot! didn't think to just google for a service kit. I found this as a starter:

Encouraging. Now I just need to understand what I've got.

Here's the label

Just heard from PB Autoelectrics who say this model is made specifically for Land Rover and they cant help. Looks like its either a new one or take a chance with a second hand one Robin

If you google the part number it comes up as fitted to the VW Touran as well, if it is perhaps they do spares for them.

Col's idea might be an option. But I've just found this on the Disco3 site so posting it just for info in case anyone else has similar problems. I might try it myself or perhaps get my indie to follow this guide.

Island 4x4 keep some parts for these,,, and some parts you cannot get. A glowplug is around £70,, when i had issues with mine it was the porcelain adapter that the glowplug Is attached to,,, if you can get one it would be over £100. Decided to buy a complete burner tube from island 4x4,,, £170,,, this includes burner tube, glowplug, insulator,, Inn fact most everything that goes wrong. If they fail to ignite after 3 attempts they will lock themselves out,, then you need the software and leads etc to unlock. Look on the disco site,, loads of info on there about this. 2010 RRS, TDV8

We had one in last winter, with an "overheat" sensor fault

The sensor wasn't that expensive, but the gasket kit was

In the end, we got a used unit from a breaker for less money, fitted it for less labour, and all was well

Thanks Gents

The latest from my Indie is that they have looked at the dismantle and clean option (Disco3 site) in the past, and say that it doesn't work. So that's their experience. They are looking for a second hand unit for me. Robin
