so you didnt notice that they cured the heating of the passangers side floor by putting the exhuast under the drivers side.
what your describing is perfectly normal and has, as far as I know been a landrover thing from the series I.

Yes i noticed the central heating for the driver..lol. Guess i never noticed it on my 94 and 03 defers. They also had the windscreen vents too which were nearly always opened too. Not to worry. Just makeing sure there wasn't anything wrong.Quote:

My wifes's solution when we drove the Series III across from Roper Bar to Booroloola was to sit with her feet in a bucket of water. :D
I remember having the same problem on my Series 1! And they had heat shields on the exhaust pipe (which gave a lot of trouble).Quote:

Yes, my 07 130 cabin floor gets very hot when driving on the highway at 100Km/hr +. It seems that heat is conducted (I think) along the chassis/body components and the seat boxes and the rear footwell area get quite hot unless its a very cool day. I operate the airconditioner to alleviate the heating. It would be great if a technical solution could be found.

take the center muffler out, will let the heat 'flow' out alot better
my 130 has only 12000km on it and has done it from day one......mine also had the handbrake drag issue but they replaced the drum which fixed the issue (or at least the noise so I assume the issue)....it still does it but like you have indicated only when towing the trailer

Their cure for heat was to line the floor with polystyrene offcuts, I would say to ride in that landrover would have been awkward, the chaps knees would have been up above his ears ! :p
one of the brothers took up some of that insulation on the floor, showing the floor panel with the remains of his thong's plastic sole stuck to the floor!! :eek2:

We insulated the underside of our Puma as per the post below. I can't advise at this stage as to the effectiveness as the car isn't on the road yet. I think it should make a difference.
