I've lived in fairly temperate climates since I've had the Defender so this is a new issue for me. With temps in the 20s (or lower with wind chill), the ole 90 could not supply enough heat to defrost the windows or myself at speeds over 35. And I've never noticed it before, but I get cold air on defrost.
Trying to figure out what I can do, from invasive to quick fixes, to get heat at speed. Any suggestions? Is there an issue with the 90? Coolant level is fine and no perceived overheating issues with the lump.
I was thinking of the following: 1. Thermostat swap. 2. Radiator blanket. 3. Port match core through bulkhead. 4. Insulating (Have the molded matting for front and rear, not installed). 5. Run stand alone power to blower. 6. Heated windshield. 7. MudUK defrost thingamabob 8. Pellet stove in load space....
Also, these Trucklite LEDs of the non-heated type are indeed worthless in snow/ice conditions.
