As with many others with a Defender of this vintage my original heat shield fell apart years ago and I’ve run without one with no problems. Until last Saturday! A long high speed (speed relative in a Defender ) to Anglesey & back was accompanied by a burning smell. When I checked under the bonnet my under bonnet installation was well alight! Smouldering red with lots of smoke.
It seems heat shields are no longer available at a reasonable price but I’m wondering if anyone has fabricated their own or used a commercially available turbo blanket.
Thanks in advance.
