It's a truck? I thought it was an urban lifestyle sport utility vehicle.

I fell off mine I was so stunned by WC90's dedication to improving Defender ownership for the remainder of us.... Thumbs Up

I can picture the scene: A tidily spec'd 90 sitting in a German traffic jam (very clean, ordered and the world's only traffic jams that get you there on time, no doubt), and WC90 working through the configurations:

AC on. Listen. AC off.
Heating to speed 1. Listen. Heating Off.
And Repeat.
Maybe again, just for good measure.
Come to conclusion they're the same.
Consider results and post on forum.

A level of analysis, I think we would all agree, that would be worthy of the German giant Siemens.... Whistle

No it's not hard! I already suggested looking at the resistor pack, after all it is what controls the fan speeds [via the rotary control knob]. Steve.

Passing the electrical current through resisters changes the fan speed. Change the resister, change the speed. Simples.

Good heavens Grenadier, you´re not feeling the need for a quieter heater fan, are you? Rolling Eyes
Does this mean you´ve got your clutch sorted?

I´m still waiting for the little potentiomer gismo to arrive..... Whistle Whistle Whistle

Apologies for reviving this thread, I’m in the same boat, which I have ordered a new piece of the resister pack.

Since this is a common issue, why this item breaks that often? What causes its failure since the replacement isn’t cheap

Thanks
