If you can do that would be great. My mate hasn't messaged me back! Chris

About 3 each. I think they look a lot nicer than the current mods out there. Chris

I have a pair of those and one WOLF side vent, need one more for a pair and the plan is to attach the Puma ones to the side (keeping the WOLF air tube size) and hide the outlet a little and hopefully direct air towards the side window.. 1999 Defender TD5 110

Oooo what you thinking? Secondary inline fan motor or replace the existing one?


I haven't yet decided. I want to incorporate air recirculation so might install a new powerful fan in place of the existing one and have a control flap and ducting for recirculation. I'm not sure that would be achievable with the standard fan Thumbs Up 2002 90 Td5 Station Wagon

A bit tricky with camera in one hand and tape in the other in the dark... but hopefully these help...

(the tape is to the edge of the vent, but the sloping face makes it look a bit like deep shadow)

It is a good idea. I seem to remember Simin from X-Eng attempting to do the same a while back. There is a thread on it somewhere. Might help!

Many moons ago Simon at X Eng recommended Defender Demisters to me. I've not been disappointed with them. The do the job as well as can be expected with the air flow available and are much easier to fit than the inside the dash solutions. They are expensive for what they are but that is always going to be a problem with low volume/niche market versus tooling costs.
Anyway I've no connection other than as a satisfied customer and I haven't had to wipe my side window with my sleeve since I fitted them 😊
