Jimbo:

What I'd really like to get hold of is some ducting/pipework that I can use to duct the heat up to the front - just not sure where I'd get something, or even if it's available. I did think about using rainwater pipe, but I'm not sure if the hot air would be too hot for it ?

nosnibod:
Just had a quick mooch on eBay and there are loads of Webasto and Eberspacher ducting and associated bits like vents. There appear to be various sizes too.

What I want is some side window vents to stop them misting up, just like the Puma-powered Defenders. I heard that Footloose 4x4 were supposed to be doing a kit, but I've had to answer to my emails.

While I'm at it I'd quite like to install some small speakers into the dash top rail too. Doesn't seem right having speakers pointing at your feet  :-.

Jimbo:

Admittedly, after I posted last, I to went on eBlag and found loads of ducting........just need to measure mine, and see what I need - there was some insulated duct that looked quite interesting, but blooming expensive!

What do you mean by window vents ? - mine steams up really bad if I leave it warm in the morning, but its ok once I'm in it and driving.

Speakers for the dash - that's a tricky one, I was thinking about using some little Alpine tweeters I've got left from my mad-ICE days, but then I'll need to find somewhere to site the amp, and an active crossover, and then the mid-range won't be good enough, so I'll change the under-dash speakers, then the bass won't be good enough, so I'll fit the bass tube I have sitting in the loft............and soon I'll have no space left for anything else - which is why I got a 110 in the fisrt place  :roll:

nosnibod:
The new Puma-powered Defenders have little vents in the ends of the dash to keep the side windows from misting. Been looking for a photo on Google but can't find one.

As for the small speakers I've come to the conclusion after an hours browsing, that the Land Rover standard installation isn't bad, just not the best quality, and people have reporting massive improvements by replacing the head unit and speakers.

No idea what unit to get though, or what speakers for that matter.... :-k
