more than likely battery problem-the ecu detects the level of charge in the battery and if it drops below a certain level then the aux heater wont run-i have two battery,s -both ok(tested) but i only do short runs and they last about 3-4 weeks before the aux heater stops working ( i have it ...

sounds like you need to change the fuel filter!!-mine did exactly the same and when i changed the fuel filter (pig of a job)it cured it-turns out the fuel filter had never been changed!! even with full BM S/H if you do yours cut the the old fuel filter up and check out how much crap is in it!!

well that's it-free gaffa tape with every crop purchased!!-

mine was the same and I did screw my face up when I saw it!!!
