does anyone make a decent 12 v heater if so it might be cheaper to run a second altanator to run it

yeah those inverters are not cheap though. i gotta 700w but that buzzes like a bee hive with just my laptop charger in. was thinking the cubby box idea would come in under £100 might keep the coffee warm 2

will keep a look round the retford area for u. almost makes me thinking bout leavimg mine in a rusty state so there is less appeal to worthless scum.

nice one mine are on the way out to. every time it rains bits fall off.

well i have the box so will check out ebay for the rest of the bits. will let u know how things go and take some pics

since the kids freeze in the back of my 110 even though its toasty in the front it got me thinking and i came up with the idea of a cubby box heater. from what i an tell a heater matrix from a vw golf should fit in the paddock cubby box i could then cut some holes add a 12v fan and tee off the...

ah u have to much fun im working in the scotish highlands this week and wish i wasnt in my van. all this snow is calling me to play in it

thats a good tranformation. gives me even more hope that my landy can also look its best again Oh and i think Stewie would look great on ya back window. especially when overtaking 40k bmw's in the snow

Had a quick look but there are so many threads to go through. Do you have a link to your posts?

With my defender needing a good old tidy up I decided to start the restoration in the new year. Was wondering how best to go about the paint job. As it's going to be pulled to bits to replace the bulkhead, paint the chassis and patch a few holes I dint know if it would be best to have...

Hi I have been on here a while now but thought it was rude not to have checked in so to speak. Im new to the hobby having just purchased my first landy. A tatty 1987 110 defender (called shaggy) having spent a small fortune allready and have more plans in the pipeline I have found this site...

Thanks I will do

I have recently converted my 2.5td to a genuine defender 200tdi the only part I can not find is the mounting bracket that bolts to the inner wing that the new air filter straps on to. At the moment it's just cable tied to the intercooler pipes which is not best. If any one has one please message...

well i gotta say just do it. I am also new to this and got my 1st defender 2 months ago. managed to get it tested and was just fitting my new tyres in the snow 2 weeks ago today. its a shabby old 1987 110 and i converted it to a 200tdi. all my neighbours laughed at me when i brought it home on a...

looks like the smoke is down to a shot turbo as the injection pump diaphragm keeps collecting oil and the only place can come from is the turbo. gonna try a rebuild kit in the new year so will let u all know how it goes. as for the temp guage its not the sender so gonna try a thermostat from...

well your really tyring to fit in.

Hi all I have recently won a defender 200tdi conversion kit on ebay and now after reading alot of threads and mags I am a little worried. The seller was spot on as he runs a landy breaking business but the doubts are still there. Is there any place to check stolen engine no's? I have tried a...

I doubt a temp sender is causing it to smoke randomly though. But I will see if it cures the high readings.

Hi all I have just transplanted a 200tdi defender engine into my 1987 110 and am having some funny smoke issues. she starts and runs fine and has just passed the mot yesterday but without any warning the engine occasionally spits out loads of grey smoke (more when idling) it will do this...
