bpman: i have no idea whether there is breather heater in the car, is there a way to tell?

like any diesel defender its quite cold even when radiator is fully heated at -30C you still feel chilly, especially the back passengers, poor souls. main winter preparations were 1. full insulation of the car, keeps the warmth longer in winter, and keeps it cool in summer heat. 2. cardboard was placed in front of the radiator Smile much faster heating time for the vehicle.

x-isle: i've read the same thing previously and tried it many times before i knew the real problem with the glow plugs. I'm sure that even with new glow plugs i will have do that process when it hits -30C-40C...

dgardel: my dad has a 2002 td5 with webasto, starts like a charm too, needs 20-30 min

hi Khasar, the pipe that runs from the back of the airbox to the rocker cover, about 150mm from the airbox there is a connection, are there any electrical wires on the pipe ?

I have similar problems with my Puma 2007. When temperature dropped lower than -12C, I had gas burner with me. When I can feel missing fuel I had to heat up the filter with gas burner. I never had these problems with 2001 TD5, they are both in the same open garage and have the same fuel. BOŠTJAN

vodonos: lot of people still do that here, especially on russian cars. some just make campfire style fire under the
engine, but doing that every morning at temperatures of -20 to -30 is not for me. there are limits to even a defender owner Smile but yes i've seen lot of people perform similar measures which do get car started. But would advise to check the glow plugs on yours, might be a similar case with mine where some are not working. although it will take you 30 min to 1 hour to get them, well worth the time and knowing if its case.

Eduardo: Good luck on your trip and thanks for the bulletin info.
