Thread: Defender interior airvents blow warm air?

Same issue here. Some months ago I noticed the big gap where the fresh air intake duct from the fender top is supposed to join up to the interior fan/blower unit (on the firewall in the engine bay). I raised it with Land Rover Malaysia for fix under warranty but try as they might they say they cannot fix it. The last complaint they addressed by jamming some extra foam around the gap. (Hardly satisfactory)

Common name... That's a wide open question! No set answer. Depends on what is relevant to what you are trying to convey/ask. For example:
- in a discussion related to some issue where wheelbase is key you'd just call your barge "my 90 wagon"

- in a discussion about which engine has absolute superiority you'd be referring to your 2.2l TDCi or 2.2l Puma. (To distinguish it from the other older TDCi - the 2.4l).

(And be of no doubt here - the 2.2 TDCi is far superior to all the diesel predessors: the 2.4 TDCi, the TD5, the 300TDi, the 200TDi ... Etc)

- in a discussion where vehicle age is key then you'd call your barge MY2015 Defender or 2015 TDCi or 2015 Puma or 2015 wagon or any combination of the lot as relevant to the context.
