Hi,
I have a 2002 Discovery TD5 ES with air con although I rarely use it. I have recently found that the heater takes ages to blow warm air. I have suffered a slow coolant loss but the problem persists even when full.
I have heard strange noises from the heater matrix area and the system does not appear to be under any pressure. There are no obvious leaks in the system. I have noticed that the top hose is soft even after prolonged running and whilst it gets warm it is not as hot as I would expect. I have undone the top hose bleed valve and it only lets out fluid (i.e. no air).
The temperature gauge struggles to climb to 1/4 at a standstill but will climb to normal (1/2) after a good drive.
Any suggestions?
Regards,
John
