I had a home-brewed version of this on a Mini I owned. Just got a length of 
washer tubing, wrapped it round and round a hose going to the heater, just 
below the windshield, and wrapped a piece of insulation around it. A couple 
of cable ties held it all in place. It worked great, and cost nothing.
