Reply With QuoteThanks to all re air - I will probably leave it on - but being a Scot by birth, well it's difficult to leave on
My tinny mazda 3 allows me to turn the air on and off but still have auto temp/air flow - still one can't have everything..

Hi Sollidisc, sorry to hear about your steering problem, but glad they got it fixed.
My D4 3.0 is coming up to 2500kms, so must check if dealership here offers a free check up, as I am about to head North, also to the Cairns area, on 26th Aug; So Look out for a D4 towing an 18ft Bushtracker, and maybe we can enjoy a beer, or two, along the way.
Regards, Don.

Hi But n Ben,
We are in Miles at the moment and we have decided to go to Emerald then Agnes Waters - some people on the way recommended Agnes Waters so change of plan-we only want to be warm - only 19 here today. The drive so far has been really good - we are towing a Regal 20ft semi off road - the disco is made for towing 14.8l at 95-100 and very stable. Would have been good to catch up with a fellow disco 4 owner - no others on the road so far - but scored a wave from a solo disco 3!!!

You can do that on the D4 as well, it's not just a Mazda thing.Originally Posted by Sollidisc

Like I said, just use the fan speed knob to turn it off and on and adjust fan speed. You can still set temperature and everything else without the air con compressor. Then just turn the air con compressor on and off at will.
If you set to maximum cold, then the compressor WILL start up, but otherwise you are in the drivers seat.

You might not be aware that there are vent switches that may need to be set once the compressor is turned-off. They can also be used in auto mode.

You may not be alone in having all the work done - apparently another Discovery 4 (maroon coloured) has had the same level of change, while visiting the Cairns area.Hi Agro et al,
Collected the disco today - TSB No is 00317 issued in June.
The dealer has done a Range Rover as well (least I'm in good company!!).
They don't seems to know why all the bits need replacing - the bulletin says they should replace the hydra bushes steering rack and steering wheel and on road test if there is still a vibration under brakes then the rotors and pads as well. In my case they did the lot!
They did a wheel alignment, new wheel slightly out in the straight ahead - was like this on delivery which they fixed - bit of a pain but will leave it for the time being as I can't be asked to take it back in just now!
They also fixed most of the little bits and pieces - now have nicely hung front doors, seat trim in place correctly, rear tailgate trim re-fitted but a couple of rattle in console and dash still there - maybe next time!
I also asked for a litre of top up engine oil which they supplied for free! (hope i don'tneed it..)
Am off at the weekend towing my 2.5t van all the way to Cairns - have made sure my roadside assistance card is in my wallet!!
Still the bad things you hear about a relauctance to fix stuff or the long wait for parts from the UK have been dispelled so am now feeling a bit more confident in renewing LR ownership.
Question - does anyone know if you can run the heating on auto without the air on (not much call for air in Tassy), my mazda does it....
Cheers
Mike
