Your heat miser will be the 'on' button, I presume from that, your bubble isn't connected to your radiators permanently? Must be a valve or something to isolate which heat source powers them??
Do the 30 minute trick again and go to your Webasto unit as soon as you press the A button, you should hear it trying to start up, fuel pump should start clicking as it tries to pump fuel thro, keep restarting the timer a couple of times if the unit doesn't start up, they can take a while if not used for some time.
I'll email you instructions for the heatmiser & thermotop heater later when I have my laptop π

The pump is by the bubble and on the notes it says bubble assists heating.
I'll look at that once the bubble is working.
Thank you I did your thing and it went into holiday mode. So got to of suitcase and got Up come on at 12 ad it did
Learning all the time. Just wish I learned it last night.

The Webasto has its own water pump ( the black plastic cylindrical thing at bottom of unit with the 22mm water pipe return going into! ) the Bubble pump should just spin freely letting water by when it's not powered up That's the same setup I use on here but I isolate either Bubble or Webasto depending which source I use.
Glad things are looking upπ

Just emailed you the Heatmiser instruction set to your gmail. ππ» Thank you I'll have a read now. It's getting warmer. I will have to fully understand it to teach the in laws. I presume before we accidently fired it up but would not of heard it as the engine was running. I've looked at it loads wondering what it was. I'm not sure what prompted me to go look this morning. But thank you. I'm much happier

Great stuff...I've never used the timer function on mine, I just use the countdown function I outlined to you ( being too tight to have it running, burning fuel when I'm not here mainly) but when I got home this morn at 6.30 to a freezing boat I'm gonna set it up this afternoon to come on at 4.30 tomorrow morning so things are toasty for my bedtime!!
Thanks for motivating me to actually do something useful.πππ

Happy to read that it's getting warm on the boat, or possibly toasty hot by now.
You can't expect any heat from your Bubble if there's now fuel getting to it, but now that you've got heat from another source it has become a less urgent problem to sort out.
Normally a stove like a Bubble is a lot less likely to go wrong than any of the more sophistcated and power hungry units like the Eber and Webastos.
Stay warm,
Peter.

Well it ran for about two hours than turned off.
I'm not normally stupid but all this wake, leave return and timer on and off for each is getting to me.
It turns on for about five mins then goes off.
I reset all the times to --/-- so it ignore them and pressed A, timer on and it came in here's hoping it stays on.
Might change the contoler to one that is on or off. π
Yes it's less of an issue but one I want resolving still. It got nice and toasty before it turned off. So at least I know it works and it's just getting the programming right.
Strangely I get the timer on like andyburg says it just puts it into holiday mode

Touch wood that's sorted it. Hopefully it's now just a case of turning it on and pressing a

The βon buttonβ is the timer! These things are normally permanently connected to power via a dedicated fuse (probably in-line) and hopefully fat cable.
Edit: Oops, should read to the end of the thread before posting!

Edit: Oops, should read to the end of the thread before posting! Now just got to find the off button. Tried to turn timer off and the thermostat and it stayed running. I'll try again when we leave. But it better turn off so we can go.

The point with these things is that they need to run through a cool-down and purge cycle. If you simply remove the power supply when itβs running, you may damage it or at least you will accumulate damage. So you need to remove the demand for it to run from the timer/thermostat, then the diesel pump will stop clicking and after a minute or so, the rest of it will stop.
