Welcome to Defender world
 Puma Defenders have had issues with heater matrix not distributing warm air evenly left and right. I thought that they had fixed it in recent years, but apparently not 
Scroll down in following thread, and on page 2 you will find what LR can do as a simple job to get it fixed 
I have subsequently decided to live with the fact the heating blows warmer on my driver side than on the misses side. If you really bothered with it, surely someone on this forum can send you copy of LR fix instruction as the dealers received. Enjoy the car

Thanks Eric. Yes the joys of Land Rover ownership.
They wouldn't be the same if they were perfect. 
From reading the other post, I think I might just put up with it. Don't want my dash taken out if I can help it. My last defender had the dash removed and it was never the same, plus they scratched it all too. 
Cheers DMAKX |

That's what I thought when seeing the dashless defender pictures.
As in my LHD defender the problem is that the heater matrix directs more warm air to the passenger side than to the driver side, when I'm not alone I turn the heat as high up as required for the passenger to remain comfy, and then I turn on "the mexican airconditioning", i.e. turn down my driver side window some or more
Still amazed that by now LR did not fix it for the current production, I know they have given their dealers a recommendation for solving the issue by blocking airflow thru part of the heater matrix. Dealers are asked to do this for customers who complain, I did, but when dealer said they would do it without a problem, but entire dash had to come out I told them to fogget about it You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.
