Hi all anyone any idea why I am only getting cold air from the centre vents?

try turning the knurled knob to red...

Tried that Stan it doesn't matter what setting its on it is always cold guess there is a flap motor gone or maybe a sensor

I find it so strange.. with all this technical electrical wizardry b ks , we all are reliant on a piece of painted plastic you might of had in the 1960’s.... Filters are in fact so good that in certain circumstances, when the ambient air is already polluted, a diesel car will tend to extract more particles from the air than it emits. Emissions Analytics worked with........etc etc

He who dies with the most toys wins...

This is something I too was about to investigate, missing the blast of warm air on my cold hands in the morning once the 'stat opened up (wot I used to get in the '02 TD6). Don't seem to be getting much of anything out of the side vents either (although the little demist vents are kicking out warm air). This is with system set on auto with dot light and smile light on on the button, and AC on. .

A bit more testing this morning, in auto mode with centre wheel on full red, I get a trickle of warm air, with drivers setting on 22. If I turn drivers setting up to 28 I get no hot air ? .

Final stage resistor defective? Only Range Rovers since 1988

Does sound like the hedgehog has given up the ghost (a common problem). Replaced mine 12 months back & it's been fine since then.....and my knuckles have healed & the double joints in my wrists re-aligned lol Current RR L322 TDV8 VOGUE

I had this on my 2004 V8 petrol. Even CTC count fix it. It's to do with the coolant pipe/switch providing hot water for the air interchange. try removing the big pollen filter under the windscreen and re-seating/re-fitting.

that cured it for me.

Replaced the hedgehog on mine about a year ago and fan speeds are all ok will try and get into it this weekend and test the flaps

Update from me

On a short (1/2 drive) to work, once temp reaches normal if I press the face level vents button I get lovely warm air (thumb wheel to red. But nothing if on full auto.

On a longer run after @ 45 minutes I started to get a gentle flow of warm air from the face level vents on auto.

Too much AI  .

Funny enough I was having a bit of a play with it on my last trip down to Cardiff and what I have is cold air always coming from the vent which is on top of the dash in the centre so maybe next weekend I will have glove box etc all out and see what is what will keep you posted on the findings
