Hi guys,
I have an 1988 110 defender with no air-con, is there a good way to put a unit in, if so how expensive is it and how easy is it.
Yours sincerely Burtie

Not unless you strip one out of a nas spec with one in. I'm not aware of a company that do them, try a search of google.?
Or just open the vent flaps? Just as good

I have tried google but there was nothing I could find, but im planning to cross the Sahara, which just opening the vents wont help much

You might want to look into an aftermarket solution as fitted to ambulances, campers etc that run seperate to the engine. Fit it in the back and pipe the cold air to the front.

I am thinking of something similar that was fitted to the armies Snatch Landrovers.

Won't be cheap though

Elite Automotive : Providing heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system solutions...

These guys can probably help, unless you find an older version; but those block the scuttle vents.
