    Hi,
    I am importing a Toyota Fortuner (SUV) from Thailand but I have a small problem.

    There is no heater!!!

    I know there is global warming going on but I reckon I will still need a heater installed!

    No need for a heater in Thailand.

    Can anyone advise where I can get one installed?

    Thanks

    Surely if you play around with the vents enough you car get some setting that blows hot air from over the engine into the cabin. Or maybe Aldi will have a special on hot water bottles :p

    Thanks for the advice but unfortunately that doesnt work. THere is only aircon and no heater function!
    As for the hot water bottles - dont think i will resort to that!

    All the guys that import Hilux Vigos from Thailand retro fit heater rads to the jeeps before they sell them.

    Sorry to drag this up again.

    I bought one of the Vigos, and the heater is now broken. Ive diverted the air over the engine, but now its like a sauna :cool:

    I've asked a few lads if they can fix it, and they have turned it down (Toyota - no way). Would anyone else know of someone that could fix/ has fixed this problem ? Im west Dublin/North Kildare area.

    Many thanks

    Kevin
