Yes, fuel heater, temp sensor, and on the bottom is a second piece glass bowel with a WIF sensor.

I want to get everything that comes with the 2.5l and install it in my 2.8l. The head,filter,sensor and heater. Any ideas on how i could get that stuff. I cant find an online parts catalog for australia or anywhere besides the US. Is the WIF sensor a Jeep thing or is that still the racor part? If it is then ill get everything here. thanks guys...

You don't need to buy anything from Australia or Europe. The Racor 230 and 245 are standard filters used in a variety of diesel applications (especially marine diesel). Eurekaboy has a walk through of his 245 install on his web site:

While he used an after market temperature probe, I'm not sure you need it, as the Racor heater is thermostatically controlled on its own.

The aftermarket temp probe isn't for the Racor heater - it's for the engine control computer - if the fuel gets too hot it starts shutting things down.
