why do the temperature knobs only go down to 16 degrees, what if i want a 10 degree temperature in the cab.. ... - .- -.

In the manuals or workshop docs it states it's not an actual temperature that's achieved, just a target. Or similar words. When I had my air con serviced a couple of weeks ago the temp inside was measured at 8 degrees, which is not on the dial either. All the way cold will blow cold all the time....

I'm sure there is a better explanation somewhere..... 2011 Range Rover Vogue SE 4.4 TDV8

Ac systems in vehicles including cars are designed to provide a minimum cab temperature of 16C to prevent the occupants suffering "thermal shock", which can be fatal, when exiting the cab into potentially far higher temperatures.
This came about after a number of fatalities in the US where farmers would plough fields all day in air-conditioned tractor cabs set to relatively low temperatures only to more or less drop dead when getting out of the cabs at the end of the day into temperatures exceeding 40C.
16C is now used universally as a design minimum although with a bit of fiddling you could probably make it go lower if you wished to.
Much lower of course and you will need a pullover.

I have to ask why you'd ever want 10'C, Stan?

I shiver at anything less than 20'C.  Si. <This is my name.

A man ain't truly been insulted until he stands buck naked in front of a woman and she didn't even notice. Or care.

all down to tractor drivers then

the reason i ask is that when [in winter] in get into the FF with me coat on i find 16 much to warm and most times its inconvenient to take off the coat..i have no idea why this query has cropped now in the middle of summer, its the way my head works  ... - .- -.

Yeah, I find removing a coat such a faff. Unzip, one arm off, then the other... BORING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ten seconds of my life I won't ever get back.

Don't you employ a butler for such tasks?  Si. <This is my name.

And then theirs the rain, maybe Stan doesn't like getting wet either.......but then I guess the butler would get wet also  If it dont work.......burn it!

If the IId tool cant fix it.......burn the FF.

If the FF cant be fixed......buy a Land Cruiser!

If the LC cant be fixed..............................................BUY a horse !!
