2008 Canadian LR2 SE block heater
I am attempting to install a block heater in a 2008 LR2 SE. This is the item I am attempting to install:Zerostart 310-0003 Engine Block Heater, 1" npt freeze plug bore
Purchased from Amazon. My difficulty is locating the/a freeze plug location to install this. I removed the engine undershield but I still can't see a freeze/frost plug location? Anyone done this and can point me to the right area of the engine block?
I also checked with my local Land Rover parts guy and he was not very knowledgeable with this procedure

To update, I got great help from Sierrafery at landroversonly.com regarding this info. He provided this link and the part #6026 that is the freeze plug!

How are you liking the heater? Do you keep it plugged in all night? I have a 2009 lr2 and am about to pull the trigger on this. Let me know. Thanks, Will
Believe it or not, I have not actually installed the block heater to date.......shocking, I know, but I park in the garage at the moment. I intend to install it when I proactively install a new thermostat sometime in the new year and change the coolant. You can also get one that installs in the coolant line that would likely be a much easier install in the long run..
Now, I have used a block heater in a previous vehicle for over a decade, I usually plugged it into a quality programmable timer (that can handle decent amperage) and ran it for 4-5 hours before I would usually need the vehicle.
Will update the thread once I finally get around to doing the install.
