    Is It The Heater Matrix

    sounds like your heaters working perfectly tbh :) give your thermostat a check before yanking out the heater box, but bear in mind they aint much cop at best of times.

    looking for some help please

    noise in your dash is just as the others said low water , but its the water going through your heater your hearing which is why its in dash :) pop the bonnet and the resevoir is easy to find , then just fill to the mark.

    Really tempted.honest opinions wanted

    thats very nice :) mileage wouldnt bother me tbh the chevy small block is about as bullet proof as you can get, plus parts for yank v8's are usually cheeper than the equivalent rover part. spoiler is one of those marmite things, but its pukka overfinch so its spose to be there.

    Wanted : auto 90 centre console

    ian ashcroft transmissions do the center console for auto's, aint cheep mind at £325!!! but youl be luckey to find one in a breaker, as has been said only the 50th version had it fitted unless you can find one from the states as it was on the nas 90 as well.

    Ok without ANY fan?

    have to agree with the others, mine actually has got the fan fitted but even when the weather was hot and towing heavy trailers the temp hardly rises at all, cant see why it wouldnt run without.

    Defender heater hot hot or not?

    just modified mine due to the cold mornings, took out the standard asthmatic fan and replaced it with the fan from 200 series disco, you need to cut down the fins and make up a back plate but had it done in a couple of hours. the difference is amazing!!! it actually heats the interior and clears...

    First defender advice...

    to be honest the year and mileage isnt as relevant as the condition, check out the main rust areas such as the bulkheads in good condition, rear chassis quarter and crossmember arnt hanging off etc, have good poke around looking for fluid leaks and knackered bushes, signs of impact etc iv seen...

    replacing lift pump

    no mate just wack it on, the arm will just compress to where it wants to be as you tighten it up. just get a bolt in as soon as you can then that will help hold it as you get other one in.
