Glind car Shower now fitted to D3

Hi All
Mark and the guys from Ayres Auto have fitted my glind shower last week and it works perfectly. There was a lot of info that these showers don’t work well with modern diesels and I couldn’t find anyone that had actually set one up on the D3 so I wanted to let everyone know that it works great the water pressure is as good as the shower at home and has a constant flow. The temperature is just right however you need to let it flow for a few seconds before you get under it as the first bit out of the heat exchanger is too hot. Here are some photos of the setup however you cant actually see the heat exchanger as it is mounted inside the engine bay, it has been mounted on the stump guard plate (the one just past the front bumper) as there is a cavity in there that fits the unit perfectly and it is nice and out of the way... Very Happy
Regards
Ben

Looks good, although it's difficult to get excited about it in the UK as it's -3 outside and the idea of showering from a D3 doesn't sound apealing. Does it heat the water as well as pump it?

Hi Stu
Yes, I am sure you are more focused on heated seats vs out-door showers. Correct the heat exchanger heats the water and the pump gets it out. you can check out the parts on the "Glind" web site.
Cheers
Ben

Looks good, it's a shame you don't have the fuel burning heater as you could use it to heat the shower without running the engine in the mornings.

I will put us some photos on line over the weekend. It sits hidden under the stump guard at by the sump.
One thing I have found that I will change is I want to have the water, shower head connectors and switch mounted so I don't have to open the bonnet to setup. The system works great though...

Thanks bmalpass - I was trying to imagine how, if at all, ARB bar will interfere with where the heat exchanger is mounted; take your point re mounting of hoses etc for ease of access - I might look and see if maybe they can be cleverly mounted under bull bar.
cheers
