BLOCK HEATER!!!!

Hello, Iv'e posted something like this before.... It was last winter... Now it being mid december and -42C with windchill.. I need one and I need one now Surfing the net again I came across this http://new.minimania.com/web/Item/NME7607/InvDetail.cfm

As for this :
"For 2002-2006 MINI R50 Cooper and R53 Cooper S. Also for 2005-2008 R52 MINI Convertibles.
Does not fit the 2007+ R56 MINI Cooper and S, or the R55 MINI CLUBMANs - no details on availability for the newer models..."


I'm Not too sure it will work with my mini. I have a 2004 Cooper S
I click on the "See installation instuctions" button And I was kinda dissapointed to read "For MINI cast Iron Block 4 Cylinder engines: W10\W11"


Whats that mean? Im not Sure I have One of those engines... anyway to find out? Has someone bought this before? Please Any information would be great

All first gen MINI engines were the same basic Tritech engine. The W10/W11 is just the part in the VIN that denotes the s/c or N/A engine.

in the past I have used nothing more than a 60watt bulb and a trouble light under the hood. Cheap I know but it keeps the engine about 20 degrees warmer.
