I got one new from ebay but the fan doesn't always come on when I want it to! Not handy when the windscreen is misting up and I cant clear it. It has stopped the battery going flat though.
Where can I buy one that will actually work?

Where to buy FSR
Buy a proper genuine one from the dealers, plus come with a warranty.

Never anthropomorphise computers. They hate that.Re: Where to buy FSR
As above tbh, it's better to just get an original one from the dealers as it will be covered by their 2 year warranty for peace of mind.
Re: Where to buy FSR
Any idea how much it is from BMW? I'll order it after xmas time, shame I'm selling the car soon so the warranty wont matter lol

Re: Where to buy FSR
My indy fitted a genuine one to mine for about £150. didnt fancy my self with ridiculosly big hands.
Re: Where to buy FSR
From other folks research on other boards I think Meyle make the OE one.
Motormec sell them for under £50 or you could get same as one I just changed for £38.75 via ebay from bmparts.co.uk delivered as per ebay item 221116669982. On ebay they list them as meyle on their site they dont but price is £29.50 I didnt see the site link until after I sourced from ebay. 12 mth warranty but call before buying online toconfirm it's Meyle my ebay one was in Meyle box as per ebay item http://www.bmparts.co.uk/product-heater ... r-fsu.html
IMO fsr's, (despite various versions), are all a bit poor and I wouldnt expect any replacement to last a long time.
I can change one of these in circa 20 mins now fwiw.
