Defender Air Con Thermostat

[Hugh42732]

I have a 09 Defender 130 that has had the air conditioner thermostat chewed by mice, it sits inside the evaporator and to get the new thermostat LR sell you the whole evaporator for $1200.

The thermostat itself has "Jasco 1398-900-01 Switch Thermostat" but have no luck finding any "Jasco" items/stockists in Australia so I am left to get an auto electrician to wire up a non genuine thermostat.

Has anyone had the same troubles?

What did you do/use?

Thanks in advance,

Hugh

Big job,LR should just sell you the switch,most of us have had it done under warranty. Pat

That's weird, I was able to get a thermostat for the A/C without having to buy the whole coil box assembly.

I'll get the part number from the box tomorrow and post it here for your reference.

Thanks HardCharger, muchly appreciated.

Maybe I should just call back and hope someone different answers the phone. . . .(will wait for your part number but).

Yea that's right most of us have had one fitted under warranty. What happens when they fit another ****ty one & it needs replacing out of warranty? Has anyone fitted a new one w'out ripping the whole bloody dash out by cutting a hole in the under dash area then glueing it back in place? Surely somebody has studied the makings of it & done just that.
