A draft!!!

Ive got a td5 90, I keep getting a draft coming through the heater controls on the right hand side, or at least around that area, as well as the vent that air flows through when the air vent is open!

I've changed the vent seals but it's still coming through, any ideas?

Yes mate it's called a Defender. Drafty, leaking, noisy and overpriced but there's something about them

A draft!? Absolute proof you've got a defender..............................

Thanks but that didn't really help!

Maybe not.....but it's the truth

Primark sell Land Rover accessories. Hats gloves and scarfs all will help with your draft.

Hiya mate, I feel your pain, but that question never was going to end well, lucky you didn't put it on "anything goes" forum you would have got basted.
I can offer no real advise, as it is what others have said.
Just keep looking, might be simple like a grommet in the bulkhead.
Good luck.

A defender with a draft!! Cooorrrr, have fun finding that. Or buy a Disco/Freelander/RangeRover

Look at it in a positive way. The drafts will help to dry the carpets after it rains.

Usually happens when the doors fall off

The missus complained of a draft in her newly acquired 300tdi CSW.
"Warm or cold" l asked. "Slightly warm" she said.
"Oh, that's the heater" l replied.

1986 tratter here!
No drafts in mine or they are only slight and I don't notice them.
Could be something as daft as a grommet out as said, try putting masking tape over the vent gap temporally and going for a drive.

hahaha

Mate somebody on here had a similar issue. In the end he threw a smoke bomb into his 90 to discover where the hole was and it worked a treat apparently so maybe try that?
