I used Rover parts. No bracket and does not go in the block. Not sure for what application those parts images depict, but not what I used for my Rover. What I used is also the same as the TD6 Range Rovers and RRS.

Hi, this may be a dumb question, but where is the plug for the ac cord located?

Adding to this conversation as I am also considering adding one to my TD6.

Here is what I found:

Number Name Code Qty Required EngPartNo
LR031621 Kit - Fixing Parts 2B690 1 BJ32 6A050-BA
LR031623 Cable, 115 Volt Markets 7E395 1 AW93 6B019-CA
LR031620 Heater, 115 Volt Markets 18478 1 BJ32 6A050-AA

There are 230V units but I'm not gonna post those numbers. Unknown if these three units can be purchased as a kit. Right now, looking at it, I'd say the entire shooting match is around $500, genuine parts. There are cheaper circulation heaters out there but considering my Disco 5 is nice (unlike, say, a 1955 Oliver Super 55 tractor which just do whatever) I think genuine might be the way to go vs. a generic circulation heater.

Also this appears to be a circulation heater, which is good. 1) easier to fit, 2) shorter electrical cord length, 3) quicker warming up the cab.

I purchased my parts from Suburban Auto parts. They had everything. There are 2 power cables. One that went from block heater to my grill and has flip cover and the other that plugs into that and goes to the outlet. Routing was up to me as there are no instructions. I just zip ties the plug in place. Seems to work fine.

There is a hose that can either be cut and the heater installed on or you can buy the 2 hoses that Land Rover uses.

Those are OEM parts and they are expensive. You might be able to find a different power cord option, and a different heater option as the Land Rover heater is just a hose heater.

jaacina do you have pictures of the installation under the hood?

I asked landrovermerriam parts what numbers are required for the install on my 2017 and 2 of the 3 part numbers jaacina provided are the same and not including the hoses, so now I'm really confused.


Any other info on your install would be helpful.
