Maybe the cover plate under the cubby isn't sealed very well? It does after all just open down to thin air above the gearbox.
A thin strip of household draught excluder down the sides could stop the draught. 2016 D4 HSE 1998 110 TUM HS FFR Hard Top XD WOLF 1982 Series 3 SWB Petrol |

I noticed this on mine too (during my brief tenure!) and assumed it was a 'feature' of Defender ownership.

yer no doubt it is the tray that goes over the hole, bit of sealer or duck tape will sort it out or buy the sticky back foam from land rover and renew the strip on the tray

I can't imagine there's any air escaping into the cabin with all the inches of gloop you've slapped on underneath that vehicle Zag

I used some sticky backed foam - took 5 mins to fix.

4600?? That's nothing mines done 5700, mind you waiting for some better weather then it'll be dropped! Can't bring myself to crawl underneath in the wet at the moment ! Better do it before 6 k though or the box will self destruct.... |
