Thanks Steve Thumbs Up

As a note for anyone in the future: The kit I bought came with a harness for a LHD car. I spent ages looking on the drivers side for the plug it went into and then realised it would be the fan on the opposite side so cut the loom up and extended.

Checked it once it was in and with the fans on setting 4 it warmed up to touch within about 30 seconds.

that's because your steering wheel is on the wrong side Thumbs Up

nice little kit and you can take the fuse out for the summer ... I must remember to put it back in before you know what !

btw - does it make a difference on the fan setting ? I thought it just used the fan +ve feed - but happy to be corrected

Yes, would be very upsetting to suffer failure for forgetting a fuse!!

I assumed the fan speed was controlled by varying the voltage to it at the plug where the heater joins in. Just an assumption though. I'll put a meter on it tomorrow when i'm back out there.

Has anyone tried the heater kit for the Ford Transit?



They had the same problem & the dealer's fixing the bug till today for free, because of "safety measures" Thumbs Up

Transit kit should cost less than LR, I suppose...))) Anyone tried?

It's probably the same heater

Another alternative would be to fit an oil catch tank and block off the air box hole

Добрый вечер D'Marique,

Welcome to the forum as I see this is one of your first posts. Where abouts in Russia are you, and which Defender are you driving there? I know your country pretty well, anywhere from Moscow down to Volgograd, Voronezh, Belgorod, Rostov, Stavropol and Krasnodar oblasts. Thumbs Up
Eric You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

-22 - it's a nice warm winter, i should say))) Rolling with laughter

I'm also thinking of another heating option - FLEXIBLE TAPE HEATER
Seems easy to install & to use. Costs about $30 for 1 meter, 12V.
