Whilst aware of the 'shear-pin' reputation of the shafts, this seems a bit much. Contributing factors could be: I run LT23585R16 tires (Cooper Discoverer) -- too much added torque? We have snow here, then they scrape the main streets clean, one can be running on bare pavement for several minutes before passing over snow or ice again to allow wheelslip. Would this put undue strain on the shaft? (I was in 2WD both times the shafts blew.) Or am I just a statistical anomaly? 2. Had spotty ignition, faulted HT leads, so decided on replacement and went for "Genuine Parts" to treat myself, based on glowing recommendation for GP leads once read in LRO digest. Leads came in factory sealed bag -- one was good hand-span too short to reach No.4 plug and another *just* reached No.1 plug. Had to leave one old lead on. Coil lead boot seems a tad too small to fit over Lucas coil, keeps squeezing off, too. Apart from spiffy LR logo on leads, quality seems not better than generic off-the-rack at Canadian Tire. Live and learn. Ignition much improved however. 3. Too lazy to go and look in FAQs to see if these magazines are listed but Pink Panther buffs might want to track down Wheels and Tracks, Issue No.9 from 1984 for nice piece on SAS LRs, incl super color back cover of 10 FG 31. These back numbers can be had from RZM Imports, PO Box 995, Southbury, CT, 06488, 203-264-0774/4967 for about $7.00 or so. Issue No. 2 had a piece on amphibious LRs and a back color cover pic of one of the 101 FC prototypes with trailer on desert trials. The mag is all about military vehicles, occasionally features LRs. 4. Further to snow mentioned above. Had a small blizzard here, got self stuck three times in floorboard-high drifts, extricated each time with the mighty Tirfor -- great practice. Also winched neighbor out of back lane into his yard with it.

You could experiment with a piece of cardboard first to see if it achieves the required result. Land Rovers are seriously over cooled and I suspect there is little or no risk of damaging the engine, but watch the gauge just in case!

I've no idea if the heater has been changed, but the engine supplying the hot water certainly has! The TDi's run cool, and I wouldn't be contemplating spending the money if the existing arrangement wasn't seriously inadequate in the cold!
