Help!
I think...
We have a 2002 110 Defender, second owner (actually, 3rd or 4th, I think), that's had a fair few things added or modified.
I recall the previous owner mentioning something about heating/air con system being modified, in order to improve the air conditioning efficiency/effectiveness, but sacrificing the heater functionality.
As we don't use air con, but could use the heater, I went in search of what had been done, with a view to restoring to standard.
Armed with the factory workshop manual, and a diagram of the heating/cooling system, I took a peek under the bonnet, to see if I could see what had been modified.
As far as I can see, the heater element isn't where the diagram says. It looks like it's now located in the rear passenger side of the engine bay, but still looks like the coolant lines go to it.
As far as I know, the vehicle has had a Bruce Davis intercooler and ECU chip done to it, otherwise I'm unaware of what else has been done under there.
If anybody can have a glance at the attached pic, any advice as to where things are now, or what sort of plan has been used, would be appreciated.
Either that, or I have the wrong workshop manual, or I'm misinterpreting it.
I'm hoping to get along to a SCLRO event shortly, so might ask people there who might be knowledgeable in such things. Failing that, I might actually go to a mechanic...
Thanks in advance!
