Added a few winter upgrades recently. Cab partition, heater intake cover, 240 power supply into cab to power cab pre heater, homemade rad muff and a yellow top to ensure good starting.

How cold does it get where you are?!?!

I made a very simple snow muff out of 20mm closed cell foam literally slotted down back of a bar and under bonnet. Simple

Had 12 hours to kill at work the other night so passed some time making one

Partition is just so Im warming the cab only and not the whole interior.

Simple and effective

meant I had heating at 50mph rather than still being on the C

nice landie carlos...

re rad muff..
I got a big lump of cardboard tucked between front of rad and grill panel,
with enough extra folded over top of rad wiv tappets adjusting numbers written on it

I keep it under the rear carpet in the warmer months....

but for our most extreem cold of late, I also use a standard sized rubber floor mat outside the front grill held in place by the grill locating screws, then the bonet slams shut on the edge of mat, making sure I get a flow of air for me Intercooler.....
(if in doubt-just rip it out)

as my "vicious" fan is as tame as a pussycat,
(new viscous bit due to be ordered)
I have to keep a check on temp gauge to make sure it dont get too hot..

Mmmm like warm `n toasty.......

its a its a 240 feed, why are you using 110V components??

DEFENDER90-DAZ · Jan 27, 2013

You can use those plugs for 240v too as thats what they use on caravan sites for 240v hook ups

Kin rough on wrong coloured plug

My mistake - the blue plugs are 240v and the yellow ones are 110v

Jay reKx · Jan 27, 2013

and purple are 25v and red are 415v

chunkymunky · Jan 27, 2013

And I don't care
