Thread: Identify my installed air con (1998 300TDI 110)

Aussie fitment.. that's as it was fitted once it landed here in Australia.

One part of the switch is fan speed the second is thermostat...

The 2 switch versions are just those functions on seperate switches...

Thanks, so is it an official Land Rover installation? or just a local dealer fit?

Land Rover Australia fitment upon arrival..

Made & supplied by the now defunct AMC. Fitted at the various LR finishing centres (like Cartech in Sydney).
The A/C came as a kit but individual centres seemed to fit each one slightly differently. Some parts might be available through LR still.

Looks the same as the one in my 1998 300TDI 110.

Mine was also non working when I got the car. It needed a new condenser and landrover were able to get one, but wanted $1200 for it.

I got a friend of my (auto elec / air con) to have a look and he was able to source the exact same part for $200. He looked over the system and it looks like all the working parts were just standard universal fit parts (nothing landrover specific except brackets to mount it and the internal air ducts).

For explanation of the thermostat outer ring..
mine seems to be when turned to 0 at the warmest (still seems to run compressor occasionally) and runs non stop when turned fully the other way. To be honest I am not completely convinced it is a thermostat, it might just be a time turning the compressor on and off.

I've got the same AC in my '97 110. Once gassed up, mine worked really well, blowing 4 degrees Celsius at the vent. My passengers always complain about frozen knees. On the the downside, the fan is inadequate, so it fails to move that cold air around fast enough. I wish I knew how to speed the fan up (it has 2 speeds). Still, on a hot day I'm better off with the windows up and the AC on, than driving with a window or vent open.

I've also recently picked up a 94 200tdi with the same aircon. I don't have a condenser fan in front of the condenser, is that normal?

Also the fuse under the passenger seat closest to the engine blows every time I switch on the aircon. Everything still seems to work and get cold, so not sure what the issue is.

Thanks for any info

Does anyone have a better picture of the decal, as mine is fairly worn, I assumed it had 3 fan settings.
