Product Features

Remote control and preheating - The remote sets preheating, fuel quantity, temperature and fan speed. Why does that matter? You can warm a cab before you get in and clear frost from the windows. The remote needs pairing first. With the heater off, hold the Up button until HFR shows. Then press Unlock and OK. LCD dynamic display - The LCD shows the running state of the heater. You can see what it is doing without guessing. Fuel supply, power use and temperature can all be set to suit the space. One reviewer says newer units also show combustion temperature. Smaller spaces warm faster than large ones. Volatile combustion technology - An ignition plug heats and evaporates the diesel into gas. It ignites quickly and burns fully. That gives low emissions and low fuel consumption. One owner used 3.5 litres in a week at full power in a garage. Another says a cold start takes 2-3 minutes.

Silencer and low-pulse pump - A silencer is fitted and the oil pump has a low pulse frequency with minimal vibration. Is it silent? No. One owner compares full power to a jet at take-off and mentions a rhythmic clicking from the pump when ticking over. Moving the air intake outside cuts much of the noise. Wide temperature range - The heater runs from -40℃ to +50℃. The oil pump runs from -40℃ to +40℃. That covers a freezing winter workshop or a camper on a cold night. One owner reports the red outer casing stays cool to touch. The exhaust gets very hot so cage it off. Full kit and easy to move - The 12V unit measures about 38.9 x 14.5 x 14.5 cm and weighs 8.65kg. It comes with installation accessories and a manual. You can remove it and fit it to a new vehicle later. Professional installation is recommended. Buy a longer exhaust and a fuel filter too.

FAQs

What size and weight is the heater?

The heater itself is about 38.9 x 14.5 x 14.5 cm. The boxed unit measures 48.9 x 48.9 x 20.8 cm and weighs 8.65kg. That makes it compact enough to move between vehicles. Check the space for the unit, the exhaust run and the air intake before you buy.

Can I run it from a mains socket?

No. This heater is rated at 12V. For mains use you need a 240V to 12V adapter or transformer. One reviewer wired up a step-down converter that came with no instructions. Another had a power supply problem that was their own fault. The seller dealt with it quickly. Make sure any adapter can supply enough current for the heater.

Does the remote control work straight out of the box?

Not always. The remote has to be set up before use. Turn the heater off and hold the Up button until "HFR" appears. Then press Unlock on the remote and press OK. These steps only work while the heater is stopped. Once paired you can adjust preheating, fuel supply, temperature and wind speed.

How quickly does it heat up?

Owners report it heats small spaces quickly. One camper owner said it warmed the van fast. Another said it takes about 2 to 3 minutes to run fully from a cold start once primed. A third found it needed 15 to 20 minutes of fiddling to run right. One review calls it more like a diesel hairdryer than a furnace. Space size matters. Smaller spaces warm faster.

How noisy is it?

It depends on the setup. A silencer is fitted and the pump is designed for low vibration. One owner still found full power very loud and the pump clicks while ticking over. They found most of the noise came from the air intake. Moving the intake outside the heated area cut it. Another owner fitted extra exhaust pipe and a silencer and reported no combustion noise.

What else might I need to buy for installation?

The kit covers a standard installation. Several reviewers still bought extras. The supplied exhaust was too short for them. A longer exhaust pipe and silencer were common. Others added a diesel filter, better jubilee clips and tool clips to hold the exhaust. A carbon monoxide alarm is sensible too. The seller recommends professional installation.

Is it reliable?

Reviews are mixed. Reliability had 19 mentions in reviews with 13 positive and 6 negative. Some owners run theirs through winter. One reviewer's first unit has run for a second year in a workshop. Others got units with loose parts or unconnected pump wires. One reviewer had error codes E-03 and F2. Another reviewer replaced their first unit. Check the heater on arrival and prime the fuel with the prime cycle before first use. You have a 30-day right of return on Amazon.

Is the manual any use?

Most owners say no. Of 7 mentions, 6 were negative. Reviewers say the translation makes little sense and some of it contradicts the controller supplied. Owners learnt installation and use from YouTube instead. Read the remote pairing steps above and look up videos for your exact controller before you start the install.

A further 7% gave three stars. Two percent gave two stars and 12% gave one star. - Heat: Owners say it puts out a lot of warm air quickly. One owner called it "more like a diesel powered hairdryer on max". Another said it ran for more than seven hours without a problem. Another said the red part of the casing stays cool to touch. - Running cost: One owner used 3.5 litres of red diesel in a week at full power in a garage. They paid £1.20 per litre. Several owners say it costs much less to run than electric heating. - Start-up: One owner says it takes 2 to 3 minutes to reach full output from cold once primed. Another says it can take 15 to 20 minutes to get it set up and running right. An owner of an earlier unit advises running the prime cycle before the first start. - Noise: Owners report a rhythmic clicking from the pump. At full power one compared it to a jet at take-off. Another owner says most of the noise comes from the air intake and moved it outside the heated space. - Instructions: Seven reviewers mentioned the manual and six were negative. One says it was translated from Chinese. Many say they used video guides to install and set up the heater instead. - Fit and finish: Some owners received units with parts not fully fitted. These included a loose front outlet, an unplugged oil pump and a loose fuel pipe. One reviewer had a fuel leak and the fault codes E-03 and F2. E-03 relates to a glow plug fault. That reviewer returned the heater for a refund. Others say the casing is thin steel. - Accessories: Several owners say the exhaust pipe supplied is too short and the jubilee clips are too small. One owner reports a fuel filter was not supplied. Another says no silencer came in the box. The listing suggests a 200 cm stainless steel exhaust pipe at £12.99. A 12V power adapter for mains use is listed at £23.99. - Variants: One reviewer with the 5KW version reported a fan fault that shut it down at power level 6 or higher. That does not relate to this 8KW model. ## Safety and installation The seller recommends professional installation. Owners fitted a carbon monoxide alarm near the heater. One also fitted a smoke alarm and fire extinguisher. The exhaust gets very hot and one owner caged it off after a minor burn. Another owner sealed the wall hole around it with fire cement. The same owner ran the exhaust through the wall with a downward slope to let condensation drain. ## Box contents - 1 x diesel heater - 1 x set of installation accessories - 1 x manual The seller offers a 30-day return period under the Amazon returns policy.

I didn't run any web searches. This is written only from the product data you supplied, so I haven't checked it against Triclicks' own documentation. The inch dimensions are converted to cm. The listing gives no heat output in other units, no fuel use figure and no fuel tank size, so those are left out.
