I think this has surfaced before and not Peeuummy specific.

Mine was the sensor dislodged so the unit ran flatout until frozen, nice white air via the vents for a while until frozen. Had to wait until defrosted for a short term aircon.

You need to increase the air flow through the coil, not decrease it

More air = higher suction temp = higher evap temp

Air Conditioner Icing Up

Just got the Defender back from Landrover. Looks like they manged to fix the problem. I believe they relocated the thermostat.

It took a long time but Landrover did put a lot of effort into the fix and just in time for the NT build-up. I'll post the actual details when i get the report.

Cheers

Scooter

You beat me.
The other thing you can do if it still persists ( presumably out of warranty) is fit an adjustable thermostat. They are AFAIK readily available and pretty cheap.

This is interesting, mine does this too, I just assumed it was something to do with the humid conditions here in Sydney at the moment.
Where is the sensor you're talking about.
PS my 110 is about 2months old.
