Thanks Darren for your advice.
Is there any way to check the valve without dismounting it ?

Yes, the operating lever is on the outside of the valve and is connected to the heater control knob by a cable. Rotate the knob all the way to cold and then see if there's any travel left on the operating lever. If there is then the valve isn't being closed properly. You might be able to adjust the cable (can't remember what the end fitting is without looking) but some folks on here have even fitted springs to the lever to assist with closing the valve. Darren

Given the weather you've got there right now do you notice a performance improvement with the bigger condenser?


Difficult to compare as my air con hasn't been working for a couple of years! But it's certainly performing well now > 110 XS Double Cab

thanks, just checked and the valve seems to be closing well. possibly it was just a little open when I drove on the highway. hope that closing it directly on the valve will avoid the hot air

Nice find on the condenser Hank! Seems to be some AC experts on this thread, so I'll put this out there. My condenser fan runs non stop. I have been unplugging it every fall to stop it from running through the winter. Had my local go through and check everything, no luck. Anyone have any thoughts on where to start? it's a Landrover thing...

Linked one looks sold out.

This one https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/363440780259 looks the same....

Would anyone have the dimensions of the OEM one handy?

Hello folks!

Does anyone have a link for the condensor Hank bought and fitted? None of the above links are working anymore.

Upgrading the intercooler next week so going to do this at the same time.

TIA 👍🏻
