    I couldn't see any dimensions for that unit, so no idea whether its going to be any better than the standard heater.

    Whats wrong with your current heater? Not hot enough, not enough airflow etc? My county which only has a series3 heater box in it has no issues with heating, so wondering if there is something wrong with your existing one.

    I find the heater in the crew cab fine too, and it gets awfully chilly here, sometimes down to -5 or more at night (although no where near that so far this year, just -2 or so)

    Bearmach supply a thicker core heater, as one or two of the specialist aluminium rad/intercooler crowds in the UK.

    Seems I should of put more information.

    My heater does work fine.
    Takes time for engine to get warm and then you have to heat a big cab. 110 wagon.

    I was looking at adding this to the system in the back of the defender. To aid heater and distribution. keeping the rear seat passengers warm too!

    Whilst I am pumping hot air out in the front. There is cold dead spots in the rear.
    The idea is to put this in the back and heat from the front and probably under the rear seats. Pushing more warmth around. This allows the front to have the fan turned down and becomes quieter too.

    Thanks

    It's not a bad idea, I'd be curious to see how well it works
