Heater upgrade.

Has any body seen this for a heater upgrade??

Whats your thoughts? My heater feels like its putting out enough heat but just not fast enough airflow compared to a "real" heater!!

2008 Defender 90 Puma 2.4 XS CSW Stornoway Grey

Puma heaters are more than adequate so presumably you have an earlier model. Certainly worth a try if you have the time, knowledge and inclination. Not sure how well-off you are in Scotland for Pontiac Transports as a donor vehicle though? If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

Treat every day as if it is your last....one day you will be right!!

1998 Defender 90 V8 Petrol 50th Auto Atlantis Blue

Now I may be wrong but I'm sure these share many components with the Vauxhall/OPEL 'Sintra' sold in the UK in a fair few numbers... One down the road from me in fact.

Maybe it'll have the correct donor parts ?

I seem to remember a while back seeing a similar write up using a mini blower (that was for a series though)

Ye I know the Puma Defenders have a good heater. I don't in my TD5!!
And I'm not sure how many Pontiac's there are in the local scrap yard but there should be something similar! I'm fairly sure I could get one posted if it was the only option. Even to Scotland!

Another option would be a heater unit from these guys http://www.t7design.co.uk
The large 8.6KW heater would be ideal for winterising a 110 Hard Top

I can't imagine that there are hundreds of them in Todd's ( tukojack) neck of the woods. He lives in Sweden.

A bilge blower inserted between heater box and wing duct makes a good upgrade as well.
