Cabin Heaters

​Switch for Kodiak heater, two-speed. "Unavailable" for years but the correct item has been available always from Dare Britannia since as far back as we can remember.

Control Panel, Kodiak MK IV Heater

Picture
This is an image of the correct, original control panel for the later Kodiak heaters. It is for this panel and for this type of knob that we offer these two-speed blower switches. Please note that the switch does not come with the knob.

Series Land-Rover Cabin/ Auxiliary Heater

Picture
Very nice used unit. Has 2-speed heater blower motor; both high and low fan tests well. Heater core appears nearly perfect and also test well. Mounts against wing side or forward bulkhead.  

Kodiak Fresh Air Heater Kit

Picture
Kodiak heater. This is the finest heater ever fitted to the early Land-Rover, because, among other reasons, it was enabled by ram air induction, which allows the heater function even if the blower is disabled. Properly fitted the heater fills the cabin with massive amounts of heat. We stock replacement cores, blower motors and other Kodiak parts, for both this and many other Land-Rover heaters.

Smiths Heater
​

Picture
We have  "New"  IIa and III Original Style Smiths heater assemblies . If you need just a core, send it in and we'll rebuild yours . Some cores are not rebuildable; in those cases we can supply you a new or rebuilt unit from our stock.  We also offer new cores for Smiths round heaters.  We offer both cores as well as cabinets.

Recirculatory Heater
​

Picture
Original equipment, recirculatory heater with secondary defroster circuit. More robust core than original Smiths units.   Installs easily with twin-stud mount.   Dare Britannia  also manufactures the windscreen defroster fixtures for this and all other Land-Rover heaters.
