Yaaaar
I have been thinking about my heater, other than the fact its utter poo, it works...I think..the matrix heats up so it must:D
Well the fans are notoriously poo so I have been thinking bout making my own,
I have some ideas and have found some bits that may be reet to make my noo "heater blower box of supreme and infinite pleasure"
That is what I am gonna call it,:cool: I know its not very catchy and somewhat of a tongue tangler, but I reckon I am on to summin.

I wondered if anyone has got any good ideas for a replacement, home-made heater blower fingie, that blows proper like? of just works betterer?

So far i have some funny bits of pipe a plastic long dangly thing and a fan I am gonna experiment on ina sec.

What are the pit falls I have over looked, shall I take this beyond this stage( fort about it lots and gots some useful looking stuff) and step it up a gear and goto Stage 2?:D

Most comments welcomed:p
 
My blower packed up, so I fitted one of them scoop thingys to the intake so when I am moving forward the air is forced through the matrix. It actually works quite well.
 
Do you want the heater to warm you or clear the steamy windows, I dont know much boutt these things of electrickery,but could you get a lectric fan heater and plug it in an inverter and tape it facing the window to blow heat at the window,as defender fans / heaters seem to be ****e, I have a brand new matrix and blower in mine and it still seems ****e compared to my discovery

theres one of them scoop things on my 90 and it does keep window mist free after 10 mins driving even in snow / winter

on motorways even kids dont complain after 1 hr its quite warm

but all my doors do seal / fit apart from mine

so i gaffa it on inside on familly journeys

scoop things do help
 
Hmmm all very good (apart from the freelander) ideas.
But I am thinking about removing the entire fan box, and replace it with a more powerful fan.
I have the scoop and thats great if I exceed 30 mph.
I believe I can remove the box take out he matrix or change it for a bigger rad, build a box with fan and make it fit.
Problem I am having atm, is a 12 v variable speed fan.
How do I vary the voltage to a 12v motor, what every day items can I use?.
I am talking a mg guyver style.
What other ideas have you lot got?
When I finish I will share the knowledge so others can try.
I bought you lot were brainy, comeon show us what yer got:boink: :D
 
It could be your motor is old and worn or the blades are covered in ****e. Take the fan out and give it a good clean, Ive often woundered if you can get a more power full fan, I have noticed mine is tempermental some times on two it blows other times its like fook all.
 
Get a 300 tdi tratta. Heater is fooking superb, toasty warm within 5 minutes of starting, .even on cold days. Windows start demisting as soon as I turn the fan on. Problem I have is having to turn the heater off, cos I is too warm :D
