Eberspacher and central locking

I had the Eberspacher D2 heater fitted a few weeks ago and its fab. My only gripe is that even though it is fitted under the chassis, beneath the drivers seat, you can still hear the pump 'ticking'. But it's a small cost for toasty warmth.

I ask the fitters (Derby Auto Electrics) to leave the hot air vent dangling out the back of the drivers seat so I could build a shelf in which to mount the vent. I did this today at the same time I fixed the central locking fault which affects loads of T5s. The T4 Forum has a great thread on this.

Anyway, as the driver's seat was out I built a small shelf between the fridge and drivers seat.

Photo (left) shows it looking back with the driver's seat out. You can also see my 'fix' of the central locking cable. It is the cable wrepped in the shiny black insulation tape just where the two air vents come through the floor.

The second photo shows the vent as you look through the side door. The shelf will be used to store one of the tables, plus trays etc.

The veneer chipped off the wood a little bit so its not perfect, but generally I am happy with it.
