You are correct, the timer will only fire the FBH. You will then need to manually switch on the vents (after the FBH has warmed up the engine) and get instant warm air in the cabin 
Thanks for quick answer, that is bad news  .
So advantages are that engine has better enviroment for work and in cabin will be warmer a little bit qucker...
Is it so big issue to run vents, was it dissccussed smoewhere on forum? I can't find...

Can someone who has fitted a timer/ control to the FBH just confirm that this is the correct wiring?

I can't remember the pinouts on the timer, but it looks OK apart from that I got mine working on a breadboard before i soldered it all up - just to make sure it worked. I also wired the timer before the remote, and checked that worked OK by doing a manual burn.

looks like a project there Biz!!
Bad news on lifting a track phil, any chance you can sort it or will it need a new timer? there are some track repair kits available IIRC, it's been a while since I did anything electronic!!

Yup, it's all part of the secondary electrical system I'm (trying to) finish in the Disco.
In short, timer + RF remote + GSM remote all sit behind a switch powered from the aux battery, OUT pin powers a red (for now) LED to show timer (FBH) is active. Remotes are behind the left boot panel, timer and switch are coming through and usable on my left cubby panel (along with some other bits  ). Single W-BUS (long) cable runs to the engine bay through usual grommet and powers the FBH...

| Cheap(er) Webasto 1533 Timers |

For those interested in using the 1533 timers for this or any other heater project you might consider sourcing your timer off eBay.de, the German eBay site. There are always oodles of auctions going on for this item and consequently the prices are much lower than here iin the UK. Recently they have been selling for as little as €45 (£38) +P&P.
Regards, MW.

All installed and working fine, gonna make a few alterations at some point - use black flex for the power and signal cable across the engine bay, as the grey YY cable I used stands out a bit. Also add the LED output so I can see when it is on.
Other than that it was a pretty easy install I still had the red lead in pin 2 to connect to.
The output which operated mine was W-BUS by the way, on a March 05 SE A dog is truly man's best friend, Don't believe me? Well lock your wife and your dog in the boot of your car and 2 hours later open it and see who's happy to see you
