Computer-free diesel heater?

The answer to your problem with eber is to buy mikuni. 20 years old, never serivced in my ownership, still starts first time every time, with the one exception of the time I got diesel bug.

That's a great recommendation Birdseye

I fitted a Mikuni MY30 (3.5kW blown air heater like an Ebber or Webasto) in 2009 I think, and it still has relatively simple controls. The point is not that it has or hasn't a CPU in its control box, but the complexity of the control state-machine is appropriate to what is a very simple device. Fortunately the Mikuni seems to have kept it appropriately simple and doesn't (unlike the Ebber which proved unreliable - albeit probably due to poor installation) lock one out for ever nor display fault codes: there is in fact no LCD display.

Thanks, yes it's the being locked out that I absolutely could not deal with, I would rip it out and throw it in the sea.
(dispose of it in an environmentally sustainable, licenced recycling facility I meant to say)
