wierd newbie help

[palace]

Hi All, dont  know if you can help I have  an old discovery  wich I run on Vegatable oil. Recently my fuel filter holder failed abd  I found  out  from another site (Landyzone) that the  omega fuel fliter holder is the sam except it is heated.; So I have  my nice omege filter holder / heater but I am buggered if I can find a wiring  diagram for it from the  housing  there are 2 connectors one  has 2 thickish wires Red and  white and  brown (I guess these run the  element) and the  other has 2 thinner wires one brown the  other blue and  brown (I guess thermostat) can anyone  confirm this and  give me a basic diagram including the relay

Hi and welcome!

Can't help I'm afraid, but hopefully someone will be along soon who can.

Heater is U12 powered by relay K80.

Main power from Fuse F36

Br 2.5 = 0V for heater
Sw 2.5 = 12V for heater via K80 and F36
Sw 0.5 = 12V for temp switch via F9
(can't read colour) 0.5 = connection to relay coil to energise

Nope, its for anyone who finds the info useful.  In this case, we are well placed to help this Disco owner, as the same BMW lump is fitted to both

Thanks thats brilliant what are K80 F36 and F9 ? fuses and a  relay ? I dont  suppose someone  could  draw me a very simple diagram  that even a disco owner could understand ?

Awww you're not on your own Dave, we sold our bottomless money pit ages ago and replaced it for something far more reliable

The switch in the heater makes a circuit to energise the relay, which causes its contacts to close to allow current to flow through heater.

Does that make more sense?

I could scan relevent inch of the Haynes Book of Bullshit, not sure it would help, but if it makes it clearer....
