[Air conditioning]

Hi, can anyone tell me if they have had an issue with different air temp coming out of the left and right vents on a Discovery?

The left and right side have independant temp contol, but with both temp controls set to max cool, the left side is much cooler than the right side. The right side seems to be at about ambient or just below.

Can this be fixed???

Hi.

I have had the same issue with my Disco 2. I was told it was due to the sunlight sensor on the top of the dash causing more cold air to be directed to the side of the car facing the sun.

Try testing the sensor for fault (assuming you have a Disco 2. Not sure if the Disco 1 had this).

Run the AC at night and see if there is still a temp. difference left to right. If there is the sensor is likely to be faulty.

mine doesn't have air con but is stuck in a car park with M&S flashing , i washed it earlier, how can i get it going?

Hi there.

Not sure which part of the world you are in, but here in SA, as soon as the water had evaporated, the M&S lights on my vehicle stopped flashing.

Also, with the M&S lights flashing, the car should be at least useable as it is in Limp Home mode, where the only gears used are reverse and 3rd.

Perhaps take it for a small run and build up a bit of heat in the gearbox then leave it for a while. The heat should dry the switches, assuming it is a damp gearbox selector swich. Obviously, check fluid levels etc for any other problems before taking it for a drive.

Good luck.

\ M and S lights will start flashing (this indicates gearbox fault condition). Coast to a stop with autobox in N, switch off ignition, count to 10, re-start and drive off with all OK. An hour or so later same thing happens. Restart and all is OK.

Anyone have any idea what could be going on here and how to prevent?

Hi.

I had a similar issue with my Disco. In my case it was the postion sensor for the gear lever that was getting damp when a outlet from the AC dripped water onto the wiring harness for it. It only happened when the AC was working hard. Rerouting, extending the AC outlet solved the issue.
