dj, thanks for the info, I'm intrigued, those heaters look like they are running off water, are you piping them into the All Sport tank, or is that a Tank? From the photo's it's kind of hard to see!

** They are part of the military winterised heating system - they run off the coolant from the engine when turned on - all hooked up to a webasto engine pre heater thing. Now ripped out as it was old and unreliable as a result.

Also do you mind me asking where you bought your Landy from? Did you get it from the Defender Center?

** I went to a auction and bought it straight from the military - I don't think you can do this anymore. But I'd stick to a civilian one anyway.

I liked the Video of you with the "Killer Goats" BTW! Funny little creatures aren't they!

** Glad you liked it!

Well I received the book and.... well to be honest I'm sad to say that I could have saved the money, the few points that are truly of interest are not worth the £18.99 and could have been posted here, the insulation material they recommend in something called xtrem, and I have searched the web, and can't seem to find anything about this, but maybe I was just unlucky with google.
Either way, you live and learn, thanks for the advice none the less.

Just finished ....
 
Finished today actually. Anyway I would offer advice but I would rather wait and see how it all works before suggesting it to anybody. There are some great ideas at www.overland.co.za.

Have fun doing it all, I dead tired from kitting it out and I haven't even started the trip yet.

Cheers
Simon
