Electric Heaters
Turbo Mini Forums

Wondering if any of you guys or girls use electric heaters so you dont have to run any plumbing off the engine for the standard mini heater? i ordered one from demon tweeks but then got told the supplier has stopped supplying them and now im struggling to find one wondered if any of you guys can help

Try CBS http://www.cbsonline.co.uk/heatac-95-c.asp

not worth it, yo wont get much heat out.

for 2kw ()about the same as a mains fan heater) you'd need about 150 amps.

From what I know the CBS heaters work fine, no worse than the mini heater on the screen anyway. They won't heat the car though.

A man without a project is like a like a woman without a shopping list.

I have had one of those electric 'demist' heaters in the distant past. It didn't demist the screen, and the heat output was laughable. A waste of 22 hard earned back in the day when I didn't earn much.

the main thing i want it for is to demist the windscreen im not bothered about heating the car so, has anyone had any experience of the ones from CBS?

If you just want to demist the screen how about a heated screen?

I was just thinking that myself. However having bought the one Neil8p was selling recently I didn't want to rub it in, LOL.

because the ones ive seen are horrid i hate the way the element shows in the screen or is there any about now that hardly show the heated area?

I was under the impression there are some around made in the same way as modern cars, so just fine wires.

The one I have got is just the same as the one in our gerties 2001 Fiesta.

The bit that joins the elements together will hide underneath the screen rubber.

a mate of mine spent £80 on an electric heater from SVC that was supposed to clear screens on vehicles up to the size of a transit van
my mate had a hillamn imp

suffice to say he sent it back for a refund!!
most dont seem to be much cop from my experiance

put a wooley hat & gloves on & drive with the windows down for a while
i'm a bit old fashioned though & i cycle in any weather!

Tom Fenton says: I have it all, make me an offer

cheers for letting me know about the screen Tom can your remember where you got the screen from or have you got a link to the product itself?

Most mini stockists do them eg http://www.minispares.com/Product.aspx?ty=pb&pid=38838

I have a heated front screen.... it was good but over this winter it got worse and finally packed in this jan, it was just over a year old so couldnt send it back. Will be having a look at it when it gets warmer but it looks like the strip at the bottom of the screen has given up.
