The MUD Heater locker has been designed to create an easy method of mounting a diesel-powered auxiliary heater into your Land Rover Defender.
The MUD Heater Locker fits between the front seats under the cubby-box using the factory fixing points. The heater locker bolts into the factory cubby-box fixing holes. The pre-drilled holes within the lid of the locker match those within the base of the factory cubby box.
The cut-out within the base plate of the MUD Heater Locker has been designed to match the standard footprint of all the common 2kw auxillary diesel heaters, e.g. Eberspächer, Webasto, MV Airo and Planar. The budget priced Chinese 2kw heaters typically found on eBay are all copies of the established brands so they too all use this same standard footprint. Please note that this footprint will need transferring to the centre base plate in the Defender seatbox and the base plate will need cutting.
The slots within the front plate of the MUD heater locker provide the air-inlet.
The hole in the backplate of the heater locker will accept a range of standard outlet nozzles provided with the common 2kw heater kits that use 60mm diameter pipework. The smaller slot in the rear backplate provides an entry point for routing the wiring loom into the locker.
The hole in the backplate will also accept the standard sized 60mm diameter convoluted heater pipe should you wish to extend your heaters pipework.
The majority of 2kw heaters use 60mm diameter pipework but we can supply alternative back plates to accept the 75mm pipework/heater outlet nozzles found within some kits and on some larger capacity heaters.
The MUD heater locker can also be used as a standalone mounting locker for any 2kw diesel heater.
The external dimensions of the locker are 430 (398) x 270 x 140mm
To work out how high the cubby box armrest will be with the locker in place, add the height of your cubby box (including any feet/runners) to the locker height of 140mm.
We do not sell heaters or heater components, nor are we a resource for technical information on heater devices.
