Series 2A, Help

Hi, Im in the market for a series 2 and just wondering if they have heaters built in and also how to put mud flaps onto them, as a defender has mounting brackets, im wanting the new Britpart mud flaps but they don't say anything about series and the exhaust is on the opposite side.

hi, yes series 2's have a lovely top of the range smiths heater, with the controll knob just handy ( in the engine bay)
ter be honest yer better of with a candle in the footwell and when it gets really cold yer could always light it to keep warm !

never used the heater in my series2, or 90, yer dunt need it

secondly pm buster see if he still has the flaps fer sale, new genuine LR series parts, yer'l have to be quick or il have them fer mine

what do you reckon to those plug in heaters

not on a series mate ! check if it has a new ish , 45a ACR alternator that has replaced the dynamo, on those old lucas jobs yer lucky to get enough power to use the main beam not to mention an aux heater ! alternator power is ok , yer better off with a better quality heater / cooler tho, not a £9.99 thing

in the brtipart magazine there is a heater Matrix for the series 3 ???

yup, try not to use brit part unless yer really have to, some stuff great and some stuffs ****e yer pay yer money and take yer chance

yer can get a replacement matrix from Clayton Heaters, google them

kk Cheers, wud u advise me wot to do n wot not to do with the series 2
