Thread: Aircon not cold? defender 90 2010

I had this happen to my new my15 d90 before I'd even done 500km in it. Turns out a hose had split and all the gas had leaked out

I had the air con sensor replaced on mine under warranty - its located under the dash so they had the car for some time getting the job done - it seems to be a common problem. The bonus is that the air con is lovely and cool now!

First & easiest thing to chk. is the air connection at the blower motor coming from the intake vent. Mine had the seal out of place & engine heat was just pouring in. After refitting the seal it still wasn't sealing so I made another & added it, what a diff. that made. I looked at a brand newie & it wasn't sealing either!!!! But even with this done & heaps of holes in the floor & seat boxes sealed, the other day, 38 or so degrees, on a extended drive at 110k's I couldn't hold my hand on the seat mounting, the A/C was barely coping. Try keeping a boiling jug in the frig. & see if ya beer gets cold. I have just bought a Taipan ex. system & had the front section ceramic coated hoping this will improve things. Until that day I thought the A/C was pretty good.

Would it be best to take to a mechanic or aircon specialist?

take it to LR

Anyone know any decent Landu mechanics or air con specialists around gosford?

As unfortunately there is no LR dealers up here on NSW central coast
