hotstart be any use for a 300 tdi 110 Defender are they worth the £200 cash

Not sure if you have already seen but on the landrover owner international
website on the discovery spares page someone is selling one for £70 +
postage. very tempted myself but pennies are short this time of year.

If it's the type that plugs into the mains, and you have mains within reach
of where you park, then yes. I've considered it several times for our
vehicles. Get the coolant up to (near) operating temperature automatically
before setting out (ideal if you go out every day at the same time) and
instant heater.

ISTR being in touch with another manufacturer that was a bit less than
kenlowe. I forget which though.

Morph had a "Carmichale" branded pre heater installed. I've removed it for
now until I'm happy it works correctly.

On my multimeter it showed leakage between earth and live and earth and
neutral, hence left on the shelf.
