P38 Air Con issues

1995 4.6 HSE:

I recently had a stone puncture the air com condenser rad at the front and
lost all refrigerant. Just waiting to get rad replaced and re-gassed. In the
mean time with A/C OFF and air flow direction button used, set at LO on both
sides, I get cool air (well ambient!!) if I set the temps to anything higher
than LO I get full on hot air. There is no control it is either cold at LO
or very hot at any other setting. Is this linked with loss of refrigerant or
is there a HEVAC issue, recently, I have lost intermittently various
segments of the LDC HEVAC display.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

I would get down to your local LR specialist with Rovocom & get it looked at, could be a few things, but
probably the blend motors.

Getting the same fault with my Disco 2, have been told it is blend motors
too. Expensive job to replace as the dash needs to come out IIRC.
