Thread: Different PUMA heat issue

I have tried to remove the duct so I can see if there's something to be done about it, but there's a fair bit of work involved in getting the duct out so I gave up. One day ...

Bump Opps this was the quote I wanted .........

Had both investigated under warranty and apparently there was no fault. Would love to know how to fix both!

Here is copy of the Land Rover fix for the difference in air temp between passenger/driver sides with the heat on. This is a common problem, my 2009 Puma has it too. First my dealer said that "they all are like that, sir". Then after I found that there is a prescribed fix from Land Rover for people who do complain, a copy of which I got via defender2.net, when I showed it to the dealer they were ready to do this fix at their cost. But mind, it is a complete dash out job, and in the end I decided that it was not worth having a perfectly quiet dash taken out and put together again, with who knows what as consequences. So I left it as is, but in any case here is copy of the fix if you want to try your dealer.
