Thanks for the replys, got a couple of questions

Big oil cooler- is it really needed?
Propex heater-how expensive? are they safe?
Whats a bambus shelf?
Wiring loom-can you buy them complete?

Sorry if i'm being a bit thick

1. not on a stock 1600
2. second hand about £160, for the old shape £100 if your lucky, £300 ish new, yes they are safe but your not suppose to use them while driving. Fitting a CO detector is always advised.
3. Bambus is the original bamboo shelf for the front of your bus under the dash, its expensive £100 ish but looks amazing.
4. Yes you can buy complete looms.

...Whats a bambus shelf?...

It's a Bamboo shelf that goes under your dash!

check out the Propex website:

http://www.propexheatsource.co.uk

you CAN use them when you are driving, they are used in motorhomes, boats, whatever and are designed for being used on the move.

You must however turn them off in a petrol station............. :roll:

I fitted one to my last bay with the help of my dad-in-law who is CORGI registered, you are strongly advised to have it fitted by a CORGI person.....he is also a electrician as well so that was very handy.......!

I got mine from Propex themselves, a returned one that was less than 6 months old and came with a full guarantee. Cost about £300, which is cheaper than a new one.

Used to keep my van very toasty on the way to work on a winters' morning.....if you have the cash get one, they are superb!

If anyone can buy a proper Bambus parcel shelf for £60 please let me know......they are usually around £100.....look great though... 8)

If your gonna drive with it make sure you get it professionally fitted and tested by a Corgi registered engineer, no doubt.

While the floor was up in the back I ran all the wiring for the amps etc for the sound system under it so I didn't have to worry about finding somewhere to route it later 8) . Also any feeds for leisure batteries etc could go under there too :wink:

Thanks for all the replys, has given me enough to think about. I will look into a propex heater as i will be using the bus as my daily (had to sell my MG to pay for the resto ).
