Can anyone give some information on heated windscreen and mirror conversions for a 90? I've heard of 110 owners doing this and would like to do the same... Thanks, Dave |

The NAS 110 came standard with a heated windscreen, but the mirrors are the standard manual / unheated variety. The heated screen is nice, but I'm not sure the heated mirrors are something I would go for - just a more expensive part to replace when you break the mirror glass. |

As with most Defender stuff, parts are widely available, just not in the US! According to d-90.com, RN has a wiring kit available. A couple of people have done the conversion on d-90.com, you should email them and get their feedback. |

Dave I seem to remember seeing an ad in the "Specials" page on the D90 Source in which heated side mirrors were for sale. I checked and they're not up but I think it was Chris Velerdi of Extreme Force that sold them. I'd give him a call as his website doesn't seem to be up anymore. 888-893-6723 [email protected] DJ |

Thanks DJ. I did try getting to his site to get some of his convex mirrors, but it does not seem to work. I'll call him direct. |

The Extreme Force website is down (has been for as long as I have ever tried it), but they are in business - I just installed the convex glass in my 110 mirrors last weekend. |

Cool, thanks guys. It's nice to see some response on this list from Def owners.... |

No problem. If you do the heated mirror thing let us know how it comes out. I have them on my RR and it is really nice, but seems a bit unnecessary for the 110 since it is not my daily driver/commuter. (And I like the things that stick out of the sides of the 110 to be as inexpensive and simple to replace as possible!) |
