Ricky49 Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 As its getting colder and wont be using the supe as much I'm thinking of putting a heater in the garage. I am rewiring the garage with new lights and sockets so thinking of a small tubular oil heater controlled via a thermostat just to try and keep the damp out. Is this a waste of time.

Havard Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 You can just pick up a thermostatic room heater for about £45. How well insulated is the garage?? Could be expensive otherwise..!! H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest AndyNissan Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 I don't think its such a daft or over the top idea as some people may think.I used to keep a Nissan 200SX immaculate bodywork, in my old garage which let in rain at the time so basically it was a damp trap combined with the fact I'd sometimes put the car in the garage with rain still on it. About 12 months later very rotten sills and wheel arches:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merckx Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Don't put a damp car in a heated garage without good ventilation though, perfect conditions for rust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 All you need is background heat, mine is heated just enough to keep everything dry. I just use wall mounted stat controlled fans if I am working in the garage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
