Fan noise
I can hardly believe I am writing this, however has anyone else noticed how loud their interior fan noise is?

On the first speed it is a slightly annoying 'asthmatic' wheeze, but is more apparent than the engine noise!

I never heard this in a TD5 Defender (no surprise there) but if no one else has the issue I may get the dealer to look at it.

The fan is noisy but I am used to the Disco. (The Disco's fan used to switch itself off on speed 4)

so (see the heated seat thread elsewhere here) I wind down the windows so that I can't hear it.

The fan is noisy as you said. But what annoys me more is the fact that the with the A/C or the wipers on I get noise generated from their motors to the radio transmitter I use with my iPod. There is obviously very poor suppression on the cables in the dash.

I do like the way a fan comes on with just the A/C switch pressed in.

As for a white Christmas its a bloody cold 28C today and bucketing down rain for most of the last 24 hours. So much for camping over Christmas Sad 110 2.4TDCi

Do you mean it stays on when the ignition is in the ON or ACC position? The three Pumas I've driven were all like that but so were my Disco's. 110 2.4TDCi

As above, my definately turns off with the ignition.

Thanks for setting my mind at rest about the fan noise, there are all sorts of noises I probably hadn't noticed before with the TD5

I only find the fan noisy when it is on recirculate - it's not to bad when set to fresh air. 2007 Defender 110

I think (ots been a while) it stays on when either in position 1 or 2...either way the 3 ive been in did it and all the other LR products ive been in/owned dont.
never mind either way Mike

I'm not sure it's the actual fan that's making the noise, it sounds to me more like the airflow itself, as the air gets forced around sharp bends and through small holes (like a whistle with no, well whistle). As "sticky" say's, an asthmatic wheeze. The quieter engine doesn't help as other noises then become more apparent.

Sticky,I mentioned this quite a while ago on this and other forums,you can't do anything it's down to the speed of the fan even on speed 1.The TD5 venilation is quite alot different to the TDCI. 2.4 90 XS
