So why do people think the aircon is rubbish?
It's been hot and sticky in Finland, hovering around 30C or so with relatively high humidity, and the Defender's AC has been a godsend. Perhaps other cars have more powerful ones, I don't know, but on the middle setting (middle blowing and middle coolness) I felt quite comfortable indeed.

Maybe some people just have knackered ACs?

Nothing wrong with mine either....Knew of one individual who complained on here but wasn't aware it was a general problem. News to me! If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

Don't know.. it just seems to often be the line in media and jokes. In the winter you're cold, in the summer you're hot. I found the AC to be pleasantly effective. Maybe I'd be surprised if I got to drive in the winter!

no other car can cool your nuts like the td5 with aircon. my old td5's aircon was excellent.

Karlos,

Your airconditioning involves windows down or swingers dangling in the breeze....You ain't got it! Laughing If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

Treat every day as if it is your last....one day you will be right!!

Setok if you have a TD5 the aircon is great for cooling your gonads but thats about it, and your passenger will love the decreased leg room! You cannot teach stupid people to do clever things

Our aircon is spot on...too cold if you ask the wife! certainly colder than the newer ford she has.

Puma's too good at heating too good a cooling... Rolling Eyes Mike

No complains with mine also.

Maybe for my two boys that use the 3rd row the A/C could be a little bit weak, but still quite good.

Heater is OK and in a cold morning (-2 or 3 �C) start to work fine after 5 min.
Main problem are that is quite noisy when you put at the maximum but in general its OK.

on my Td5 it works just fine. I'm using it very rarely as i don't love AC in general but when is hot, it helps. Is not perfect of course, but better than nothing...
