2010 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 XS CSW Santorini Black

Not going to be cheaper than some of the current options, but is a much more efficient design, using a much more modern core design... and won't start falling apart after 12 months.

Currently undergoing sign off testing.

With single fan or twin fan mounts - and reuses the original frame (and fan if going single).

This is a high quality all aluminium set up.

There has been a few changes to design - photos are original prototype.

This looks great. When will it be available to buy? WARNING.

Ow, indeed looks like the A/C grill leaves enough room at the bottom for the higher condenser. Great!

@porny, I would still be interested in your route of repairing the (original) condenser. Can you please share the make and model you have used to replace the condenser only.

Best regards
Rob

Yeah more than enough space. Also a fraction of the cost of the oem replacement. Instagram @defender_ventures

Hopefully in the next 3 weeks for the first production batch. IRB

Hi Forum

This is how I solved it eventually. Using the similar condensor as bankz5152, which is wrongfully labeled by Autodoc as LR025985, but was really cheap (around €125) plus adding an Aliexpress 15 inch fan for around €30. A significant difference with the original Defender condensor (which is out off stock anyway) for £ 1,127.

The tube extension is done with ordinary 12 mm water tubing en was tested by my local garage up to 20 bar 😀. To be honest he said he had never seen this before....

The A/C is now working better then before due to the larger condensor.

Thanks for the 'out of the box' idea!
