Default FBH factory fittings

I can see that my tourer has the plumbing and the wiring already fitted in the engine bay for a FBH but is this just required to get a retro-fitted heater to work or does it need more? I recently removed a heater from my higher spec donor car and it had a timer and telestart as well as a huge amount of additional wiring, x4 relays etc and I would like to fit the timer/telestart to my car but would the loom need upgrading along with all those relays? I havent seen any Webasto relays under my dash but to be honest, I havent looked too hard!

you will need the dozing pump and bracket from just in front of the offside rear wheel and a fuse in position 8 of the engine bay fuse box. This will give you the basics, I don't know about the telestart, sorry.
The power for the dozing pump is under a black cover under the rear offside part of seat. The fuel pipe for the FBH should be lingering in the engine bay just to the middle from the FBH

make sure you have the bracket for the Telestart which is fitted next to the fuse box behind the glove box, do you also have the antenna which fits behind the front bumper, you will need all the wiring to retro fit it.

The round plug is the antenna connection from the car.

Thanks and yes i have the frame and the antenna (which just seems to be a wee length of wire) as well as the loom from my donor car, along with the 4 relays. Just need to figure out what connects to what!!

Is it easier to retrofit the Telestart or the GSM?
I fitted a remote to mine and it worked perfectly last winter, I’ve just come to do a few tests to run it and it keeps blowing the 20a in F8.
Any ideas what could be causing it? Wiring in the module perhaps?

The GSM route is a doddle
