Thread: Heat build up in cabin

Stick a bit of black foam pipe insulation over it, stops heat to leg problem and makes a comfy rest.

I too have a burnt leg from an over heating handbrake. I was considering moving the handbrake to the space next to the drivers seat. I understand it can be done with a disco handbrake. Has anyone done this conversion???

There's a Rangie conversion that's been around for a while

www.REEDX.net

One solution might be to add small 12v fans to the seatboxes. Pressurise the seatboxes with cooled cabin air, force the hot air out the drain holes underneath. Disconnect over winter.

Curing the symptoms instead of the disease I know, but food for thought.

Made in the UK can import it yourself from Soundproofing Products for Car Soundproofing | Industrial Soundproofing | Marine Soundproofing , or some LR specialist importers import it one is Landrover Tuning :: Home.
comes precut with each piece numbered and instructions of where to put it. Some pieces are self adhesive while other fit under the existing lining. My kit fitted very well with next to no trimming necessary. Its a big job to fit as it includes adhesive pieces to fit inside each door. Only drawback is you really appreciate how crappy the stereo system is now you can actually hear it.

Yes, in my 110. Pics are in another thread but I'll try and get some specific ones and post them here if you like?

you guys dont have rubbing hand brake shoes by any chance? my 07 110 seat box and hand brake, if anything, is cool to the touch?! maybe rubbing shoes is heating up and conducting heat up the cable along with cooking the t/case and heating up the seat box?
i just replaced the shoes and redid the t/case output flange oil seal and etc as splines were leaking oil. i found the shoes worn down to the steel and when refitting the new ones the adjustment was REALLY sensitive, and i suspect the reason they were so worn was continual rubbing.
good new tho that after doing the leak and tightening the centre nut to the correct torque, not finger tight, the backlash on gear changes is gone.

just a thought.

Just to confirm - you're saying that you don't get any heat build up after say three or four hours driving (particularly on say a 40 degree day)?
