look at Kenlow site they do a plug in heater element for most cars, it is a small pump along with an element which is put in to one of the heater pipes had one on one of my sennys and it was brilliant downside is you have to remember to plug it in whehn  you park the car up!! and remember to unplug it when your going out!! which is what broke mine when i was late for  >:(work one morning!!
howver it was a boon on cold frosty mornings as the car was up to running temp before i got in it!!

yep!! there is a canister heater under there for cold mornings!! runs off diesel, helps warm the car up!!

It my be warming up the car but I smoke ou the whole street! Is that right? I have to put the vent into the car on recycle as we get gassed!

Had one (different make, german sounding beginning with K) on my old works transit back in early 90s (think that was K reg).  Absolutely brilliant bit of kit, if somewhat unreliable.  Unlike the Omega one, had a timer and cabin thermostat, so I'd be laying in bed getting ready to get up, and I'd here it fire up (mainly the fans), and by the time I'd showered and got dressed, the van would be nice and warm (and defrosted).

If I had a week off, though, I'd need that nice man from the RAC and his big long jumpleads

As part of the very cold climate pack, the Omega had a timer and remote connected to the heater to!

It can all be seen in the wiring diags

I did miss it when I used to get in the car on a cold morning.

You've got me thinking now

Thats the whole reason I was asking about it in the first place!

How common are they on Omegas? Take it there only fitted to diesels? Which models? Years etc? (Basicly, What are the chances of me finding one at a scrap yard?  )
