Any ideas on a headset that can fit and survive a UK winter for a SL Ibis Mojo ?

You actually need the integrated CC headset which is on this link

That's what I've fitted although it's not been through a UK winter yet - or even 110 winters.......

CK quality but they don't make the integrated headsets
Canecreek IS2 lasted less than 9 months !
yeah, IS is the version, I was just linking to the product features, thanks for clarifying though as that is important
I ride with a buddy from Scotland, and he likes the Lizard Skins Headset Seal to help keep the water out of the headset

Cane Creek with plenty of water proof grease. Keep on top of it, clean it and relube often. I don't think there's much more you can do for any headset. I would also avoid trying to cover it with Lizard skins headset cozy or the like as those tend to keep water from evaporating quickly should any get in there.
Make certain you pull the fork completely out as well and wipe off the steerer tube as water will collect on it as well.
Of course, this is all worst case scenario. I doubt you're get too much water in there to cause any serious problems unless you hit it with a power washer.

+1 for the Cane Creek 110 IS. It's not cheap but has 110 year guarantee !
Would you still need to do the same preventative steps in keeping the HS clean with a CC 110 as with the other HS? Or is the CC 110 that much superior? I mean maintenance is always good, but if it could be kept to a minimun, better.
