  1. He means run the heater for 30 minutes before setting off! (I think).

    As a morning pre-heater, it's excellent. Once the engine coolant is warm, it runs the interior heater fan and warms the cab, melting ice on the glass. A 30 minute run is enough,

    I must have mis read that, so the heater heats up the water in the block and then the cab, sounds good.

  2. I'm looking at putting a proper heater in the landy and have a bunch of questions for those who have them as i know nothing about the subject.

    Whats the difference between Webasto and Eberspacher ?

    Where in a hard top defender would it be fitted ?

    Is it a diy install? What does it connect to?

    Where does the heat go to and how ?

    Can I set it going before I get into the landy in the morning? With it parked about 100m from the house?

    What sort of money is it going to cost me? second hand?

    What sort of running/maintenance costs?

    Any details of your setup would be great. Cheers

  3. OK - new axle in hand......how do I chuck it underneath :-)

    In simple terms

    Jack up, axle stands under chassis legs behind axle

    wheels off

    remove brake calipers, not disturbing fluid lines (saves bleeding afterwards)

    remove dampers

    lower axle to remove springs

    disconnect prop, panhard rod, steering drop arm, breather, steering damper

    unbolt radius arms from chassis

    slide out axle

    unbolt radius arms

    refit in reverse.

  4. Unless you've got someone who can weld a new diff pan on for you, it would be easier for you to replace the axle tube for a second hand one, and bolt the complete swivel and hub units from your current axle, together with another diff into the tube. Or just put another complete axle on, and keep yours for spare shafts, cv's etc

  5. It was a fantastic event as always. Despite the horendous weather on Friday, it cleared up by Saturday which was a good day, apart from a small incident (does anyone know if they are out of hospital yet?). Sunday, well i hardly saw anyone on site despite doing numerous laps of all the punch locations. It looks like there were a few more damages on sunday as the ground dried out.

    Anyway, a few pics, video to follow
