With the basic improvements like others have done in post's above, mine works well and it warms up a lot quicker than my Focus. [200tdi]
If all else fails get a 19j engine.
Hot hot hot bang!
Because they're not old enough to remember / use other 1950s designs.Why is it I never hear of peep's complaining about trying to keep warm whilst driving anything other than a Series, a 90/110 or a Defender....?..
I've built a partition between driver and van body on my 110, fixed behind the driver, removable behind the passenger. The body and cab were given the big rubber floor mat, flashing tape, eva foam routine to cut noise, but it also keeps in heat.
The heater was cleaned, both inside and out, and added new seals.
Now the cab can be quite warm.
Monday, I take the dash apart to repair the wiper mechanism , I'll add more sound / heat insulation while I'm in there.

because they are the only cars of that vintage still being driven in cold weather rather than used exclusively as summers day fine weather show cars.Why is it I never hear of peep's complaining about trying to keep warm whilst driving anything other than a Series, a 90/110 or a Defender....?..
Pls take some pics of the dash apart.
One day I will do my wiper boxes as they have more slack than a prick in a bucket!

Hmmm, not so sure. My brothers '71 Mk 1 Essie get's toastie inside. Personally I think its the **** heater they are fitted with, and the leaky doors, floor......
