Just finished this mod on my defender 300 tdi. Thought I would share it. The flexi conduit and fittings (20mm made by tower) were purchased from screwfix for under £12, and is enough to do two defenders. image.jpegimage.jpegimage.jpegimage.jpegimage.jpegThe facia covering the left side screen blower pipe is wide enough to cover the two additional 20 mm conduit pipes on the left side. I did have to remove the blower funnel, as the scuttle needed to be elongated to allow clearance for the two pipes, then re fitted . The pipes terminate in to rubber grommets in the heater manifold. I marked round the facia and cut around the glove box plastic base tray to suit. Works a treat.

K14, that is genius, so much so that I bought some flexi pipe and connectors and have done the same on my TD5, was a slight difference with how I had to run the tubing but generally the same. The way it is done, the vents for the side windows blow out air wether set up for just the windscreen or just the footwell. Sorry didn't take any pictures, but all tested and working well!
 
That's EXACTLY the same set-up as I fitted to my 90 a few years ago. :)
A cheap, easy to fit and very effective solution.

The only thing I found was that with the fan on High and the vent flaps pointed to the lower position I got a whistling through the conduit (made me laugh like a drain when I first realised what it was!). I found that fitting a short length of smooth pipe inside the end of the conduit smoothed the air-flow and stopped the whistling completely.

Neat little mod. Good work. I wish all mods on Landy's were this neat and tidy oh and worthwhile!
