Defender A/C

Let me rephrase a previous question I posted.

Should all the four vents in the Defender (2001) A/C actually blow the same amount of air?

Another thread? Really?

Just trying to get his post count up with constructive post.

Needs to take his vents for the ac apart and make sure there is no mouse nest blocking air flow or some object blocking the air flow. Is the only way to make sure for even flow.

I assume you have a RHD Defender, so your AC's blower/fan is on the left, it sits with the evaporator there. So all the vents on that side are closest to the fan and will have the most air power b/c of their proximity, those on the right will have the least. B/c of the placement of the fan and evaporator so close to the floor, they both can get really dirty with lint, dust, dirt, etc. Probably the worst location to have a fan/evaporator but a Series/90/110/Defender wasn't really made for AC in the first place, so the fact its even there is somewhat of an oddity to begin with. I say this having an '03 with a AC system that I'm slowly reconstructing from missing parts and creative repairs. It's pretty easy to pull the whole blower/switch assembly off the dash and get inside and clean up whatever may lurk in there.

Don't really need to get my post count up, I'm not selling anything Haven't seen any mice around the fender for a while, so that problem should have been solved Just trying to solve an issue really :|

Yes it is a RHD, and it seems that what you are saying makes much sense. I don't really think there's anything lodged in it, or it's dirty, because it's been like this since the day it was fitted (when I bought it).

I may try to get inside just to clean it up, but my point really is: is it normal that the vents on the left blow so much air out, whilst the other's don't. Is this just one of those defender things?
