Description
The blower fan and heater in Defenders are notoriously poor in performance and reliability – especially in northern climates, where cold winters and rainy days regularly impair comfort and safety in the cabin. While Land Rover upgraded to an improved fan heater for the Puma/Td4 models starting in 2007, all previous models can easily be retrofitted with an electronic control system.
In contrast to the old analog fan heater, the new electronic control system allows for continuous adjustments of the blower fan. This ensures more efficient operation and therefore better ventilation, heating, and dehumidification in the interior. Heating your vehicle’s interior can be achieved much quicker, as is demisting or de-icing of the windows. Additionally, the electronic control is much less prone to wear than the old mechanical solution using sliders and resistors, which are susceptible to shocks and vibrations.
The retrofit kit includes the electronic control, a stepless slider and all the assembly parts for the connections. Installation instructions are included.
NOTE: Fits 1983-2006 original Defender only.
