Thread: Dust in D4 cabin?

Most cars if not all will some dust in, trick is to have positive pressure in the cabin to keep dust out.

In other words, keep windows up and put aircon on to keep a higher air-pressure on inside.
Works a treat, even on my old RRC 85 I had.

My D3 and four others in our club have never had dust ingress problems. It was really noticable on a recent Lake Eyre trip that they are really well sealed so I assume it would be the same with the D4.
D1 and D2's have had issues around the rear door seals and LR came out with an extra upper seal for the D1.
Dust issues with the LC200 have been reported right from their release.

Dust in the LC is very common.

I have just finished a trip over lots of dirt and I had no problems with dust getting in the D4.

air cond set to "recirc" right?!!

My series 2 was bad for it and I have spoken recently with some LC200 owners who have said the LC200 are terrible for dust getting in.

Must have different dust on the other side of the rabbit proof fence.

Even on Recirc, I have a fine coating of red dust inside already. My thought is that if you can smell it, it is getting in. I can smell it.

Ahh, my post was obviously was not clear enough.
I am thinking of upgrading the D2a and wanted to know if there is any dust problems with the D4.
The only issue I have with Land Rover is the lack of dealers and service centres on the west coast of Oz.

Simple answer for me. No dust problems with my D4.

Never had any dust in my D3 normal or re-circ.
LC200 has a reputation for letting dust in. Top Gear Aus found out in the even more expensive Lexus version.
