Well Procta, at least you found why it was colder than normal in the landy and hopefully the "heater" will warm you up just a bit now

my dad fitted the series 3 rubbers which is what I am going to do at some point. My mate was laughing his head off when I told him about the vents. Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

L110CDL, the laugh is I am from a Rover metro background, which had
 all heating and electrics. So I took the poor heating as just plain landy, with me been used to dealing with metro heaters ( the two are practically the same electrical and heating wise) . if it wasn't for my mum noticing it, it would have been like that still lol.

You'll probably find the heater is too efficient now

went to see a mate yesterday who is 30 miles away and I tell you what, its the 1st time I have been warm in the landy
but I think it could do with new seals around the vents to help insulate them more.  Just got to make it more water tight and sort the suspension out. Before I can do the rear door electrics and trim. Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

got my new replacement door seals from duckworth off here, those will be going on at some point this weekend, also my suspension has arrived too, going to see if I can get some bits painted at work 1st, also my EGR blanking kit has came too, Going to ask a work mate to help replace the bolts on the engine 1st. Then I can just bin the full system including the ECU thing too.
sounds like a bit of work for me haha Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

Well today I moved on a good mile stone!
things that went right today did! I got a mate to help out with the EGR removal system, we made a start and then me and my dad took over. We thought its going to be a . With in a matter of mins, we had the full EGR system off the car, and plated over. I also removed the EGR ECU and binned that too. So the full EGR system is now binned. Got to say when me and my mate removed part of it, the landy was a different car! Really pokey like my dads! When we removed the rest the car fired over a lot better too.
 Click image to enlarge I was expecting this to be a pain, but in the end all worked out spot on! Click image to enlarge Moving on to the door seals. Every one of them were knackered, I suspect the two front ones were after market going by the Proper ones that I have bought. So off those went and on with the new! Click image to enlarge rear door one had seen better days Click image to enlarge the driver side was well leaky and the passenger one was well short, so what ever heat was been built up was just going out, But I recon I might have to move the sill up further, like we did with my dads. ready for the bin Click image to enlarge The rear bottom door seal was well rotten, my dad kept itching like mad to get that on, and in the end I said ok. I was planning on fitting a carpet to the rear, So we made it removal able, ( he rived his on) Click image to enlarge left the film in place for now, until I get the carpet installed. I am going to push to make a start on the rear door electrics too. Going to go for a MUD rear door card, and a rear handle. Also get what ever it needs to give that rear door a bloody good revamp. It looks a right Eye sore does it not! Click image to enlarge Also I have got my galv suspension to go on, but are in the paint shop at work getting painted by a pain tech. Who is a landy lover. So all in all, we had a good successful day, hopefully things will push on nicely like it has. Going to look at a rev counter too, and move the clock to where the rear wiper switch is I think.
