Hi All,

I am sure I am not alone in stating that my Land Rover is like a rolling oven.

What do you do to stay cool driving around in your large aluminum heat sink.

Cheers,

top off, windshield down, aviator goggles on, dont say a word as any word with a vowel is followed by a critter in your mouth..


otherwise, a small bus dash fan and a small spray bottle of water sprayed into the fan once in a while gives the illusion of cooling you down.

You obviously don't have the station wagon model with the tropical roof. Mine is quite comfortable.

Too slow, too noisy, too cold, too hot, seats too uncomfortable, steering's too heavy, bla, bla, bla

Land Rovers just aren't are not for everyone :wink:

Never a complaint in my rover - smooth, quick, quiet and comfortable - warm in the winter, cool in the summer, floors don't burn the soles of my shoes.... no regrets here trading-in the old series 3 for the D2!
