That FBH is not from a D3, it looks like the very early model that was fitted to the P38.

Will it still work Flack?
It was advertised as off a RRS and the date on the sticker on the side of it says 2010, 2011 and 2012.

If you change the main board over from the old one, then the new one should work without a problem.
Have you text Erase to the Altox to first clear fault codes?Bodsys Brake Bible

Would I need to change the burner piece as well as the two black cables go to it? Or leave that and plug the two cables into the old board where the blanking plug is?
I tried texting erase but the sim will no longer get my texts or reply to me........not sure why as there is credit on the sim?!

The extra two wires may be for the fuel pre-heater which some of the TTV heaters have.
If it's off a 2011/12/13 RRS then it will be effectively the D4 spec but Robbie has reported these still work ok on a D3.

I’ve just double checked and it was listed as off a 2011 D4.
I’ll have an ask about to see if I can find somebody closer with the software and cable.
In the meantime is there anything different I can try with the Altox or IIDTool regarding faults E0 and E3?
Thanks all

Hard to tell from the picture but those wires look like the solenoid control. Either way it brings issues with the metering pump and a risk of leaks and/or fire when incorrect components are mixed. As the guys have said, that did not come from a UK RRS or D4.Land Rover - Turning Drivers into Mechanics Since 1948

The black leads go to the 4 pin connector (X6 in TTV workshop manual). The pins used are 3 and 4, which are the fuel pre-heater connections. The other pins (1, 2) which have blue blanking seals fitted are the solenoid valve connections - not installed here.
TTV Workshop Manual wrote:
The fuel flows in a spiral in the preheater between a
threaded sleeve and a smooth outer sleeve and is heated by
an electrically operated heating cartridge during starting.
Preheating is briefly activated in the burn-out with a low
output to be able to burn the remaining fuel after the unit
is switched off.
Wouldn't seem to be a particular cause for concern for a retrofit as it would be controlled by the FBH controller which has not been switched over.

I have swapped the board over and it fired up first time, albeit a bit smoky!
It seems to be working exactly how it should be now but I'll remove it again if it's going to be a risk leaving it in there?!

Not 100% sure but looking at he sticker it’s defiantly not from a disco 4 as I think they say Thermo top evo on them. The extra 2watt on the power consumption explains the fuel pre heater.
Pete.IID, webasto software and workshop facility's available.
