OK, a bit more progress...

PRC3786 washer bottle fitted and Southdown snorkel added as per plan. It all fits really well I think...

Washer bottle look slightly awkward to get to bu in practice it's fine. Annoyingly the pump inlet/outlet is "wrong" for that side of the vehicle hence the loops in the washer pipe, but it's heck of a lot more powerful than the old one! I don't know if wiring it in backwards would damage the internals...

More than happy with the angles/clearance of the air hose, and there is just enough room under the (non-Puma) bonnet for it to fit...

I know they are expensive, but I do think the Southdown snorkel looks the business and is simple and tough, and as my old 110 does not have wing vents, it was the obvious choice. I do need to push the cowl a bit more down the tube though, it's a bit hight here.

I've jubilee clipped the re-angled dipstick tube onto the manifold, so it's now a case of fitting an electric fan, and possibly some heat shield around the exhaust. I take the points about the alternator, however with no fan shroud and LED lights perhaps I'll get away with it. I have one of those laser temperature guns so I might take some readings and see what it looks like. I found a 200tdi waxstat so that will go on when I do the timing belt...soon.
 
Recommended stat was made by waxstat but I believe no longer available, so not sure what people are using no, bear in mind the 200 stat has the extra bit to shut off the bypass pipe so needs to be the right one.

what extra bit, the bit that comes out the bottom as well as the main valve bit?
 
I got mine from Island 4x4. What they said is that they have plenty Disco waxstats, but no Defender ones. Suits me...
