    Webasto heater in 110

    Hello I've fitted the hot air version (webasto 2000st) situated under the centre cubby box, I did have to raise the box by about 3 inches. I also fitted a separate engine pre heater (Kenlowe). Choosing to have two components doing their own thing rather than combining them in one. As a...

    Eyup fella, Thanks for getting back to me... Since the first message I have cleaned off anything loose and waxed the complete underside. The chassis has been filled too. I do intend to do this every 6 months or so. I suppose I'd rather spend weekends preventing problems than curing them!! As...

    Cheap power increase

    Hello I'm having my EGR surgically removed when the bits come from Mr. E.Bay. Nothing to do with performance benefits..... noticeable or otherwise. But I simply don't want the progressive build up of sludge,soot and carbon etc making it's way into the engine. Besides, wasn't the EGR idea...

    Defender Heating System

    Hello, I've just bought myself a Webasto Air top 2000 st. Ranges from 900w to 2kw and will be just used for cabin heating. Eberspacher or Mikuni do their own equivalent versions but after much research the Webasto model seems favourite for me. I've also bought a Kenlowe 240V pre...

    Sub zero on Top Gears 'cool board' ??

    Hi Fella Reading previous entries the Discovery has an access hatch under the rear floor but my Defender 110 does not...needless to say I'm going to have to check. I've even found a bloke giving hole cutting dimensions, 42cm from left x 50cm from rear door. I'm well aware that the TD5 is frowned...

    Sub zero on Top Gears 'cool board' ??

    Hello again, Thanks for the info...but I've just realised... You suggest taking a feed from the fuel pump ? This is situated inside the tank is it not? If I'm going down that road and removing the tank, I would use the stack pipe that comes with my Webasto kit. I was hoping to use the diesel...

    Sub zero on Top Gears 'cool board' ??

    Evening Peoples... Realising that the sub zero status refers to the inside temperature of my 110 I intend to fit one of those diesel heater type things. I own a Narrowboat building firm and can get Webasto water heaters for very good money but as I want to heat the internal cabin quickly I...

    Hello you lot.

    Cheers fella After the first few weeks of ownership I do seem to have most of the usual Defender quirks...Spider in residence, power steering pump leaking slightly and rain finding it's way into footwells...ho hum...roll with the punches. Thanks for your reply, hope the first of many. Tony (not...

    Hello everybody out there... Just bought an '04 Def 110, small area of rust on one section of chassis. Is it better to cover clean bare metal with Waxoil or clean up and paint the affected are before waxoiling? If paint hides the dreaded big "R" then why paint chassis? Also there are small...
