wondering if there is a simple way to remove the rear heater and pipes. Does anyone know of a kit to cap off pipes at front? I will be removing the rear of the body to make way for a camper conversion on my MK2 2.8 Shogun.

I'd cut the hoses and then seal them both with small bore copper pipe and end caps. Use hose clips to secure in place. Don't just connect the hoses together near the engine bay as it will apparently starve the other heater matrix.

A camper conversion!  Smile   Interesting project.  Please post some photos when you can.

Ok that makes sense, do you happen to know the sizes?

Yes a camper on the back, in planning stages at the moment. I will post photos if can work out how to get them on the forum  Laughing

No, I don't know the sizes I'm afraid. I assume the hoses must go over spigots somewhere - maybe you can measure the OD of the spigot to get the ID of the hose?

To include photo links you'll need to make some more posts first - around 10.  Then you'll need to use a third party host such as Imgur.  Then embed links to your photos in your posts here. Happy to help if you need it.

The heater hoses from the engine go to the bulkhead for the front heater - before the bulkhead there is a Tee piece in each of the heater pipes.

Just remove the tee piece on each pipe and replace with a straight connector.

The tee pieces are between the engine block and the fuel filter - not easy to see or get to!

I haven't got a clue on the diameter though.

That's probably a neater solution than my suggestion.  Smile

Well that should be manageable, happy with that. Small area to work in so that will be fun  Laughing

I’ve found that my pipes to the rear heater are leaking and will be bypassing them until I can replace then later in the year. I found the post below earlier which shows 15mm copper pipe and straight connectors used at the end for the rib to prevent them pulling free.

Just to confirm I did mine today. I didn’t touch the T joint and instead removed the rubber pipes from the metal that go to the rear, clamping the rubber pipes with mole grips to prevent further coolant loss. I then used a few inches of 15mm with compression end caps fitted to block the rubber pipes. It’s a tight fit and having the compression end cap means you can use a ratchet to twist it into the pipe then secure with the hose clamps. Once you’ve capped the rubber pipes zip tie them out of the way to prevent them banging about underneath.
Access is easy enough. Jack the front end up or put it on ramps. Go in from the drivers side under the door and you can see the rubber pipers, look a bit higher and you see the metal pipes going up and over the fuel tank.

Come the summer I will probably recommission the rear heater with the micro bore pipe.

I removed mine and joined mine at the firewall and had no trouble with heating. Then I had the engine out one day and joined the T fitting into a straight and tidied it all up  as peteinchad wrote.
