Excellent idea !  My heater actually works OK - but the gaps around the doors....yea gods. Feet, toasty, right shoulder - numb.

...."Character building" as herself said to the boys, complaining about the lack of cushioning in my fine new Britpart rear bench seats this afternoon.

I thought the gaps at the bottom of the door was to let out the water/mud etc ???


Note I said 'cushion'.   Any passangers are free to bring their own!!

I've been looking for a Kenlowe pre-heater. Missed another on e-bay today.
i'm going to put a fan heater in the 110 on a timer. I leave for work just after 6am so i'll switch it on 20 mins before.
Just hope it doesn't catch fire ;D

The landrover is my comfy practical car... My weekend ride is an RB320 Impreza that only gets 20mpg if I drive like a granny.

You lot need to man up and buy some gloves

Maxxed Ross,

Is the scooby any good in the snow. I had a '97 plate UK turbo for a while but never had it in winter.
I think I remember reading the posts when you got the RB320 on SIDC
I would like another one - phenomenal grip.
