Rusty is correct, usually blend door motors. But it could be many other things. This HVAC system is from Valeo, A French Company. There are about four updates to the system also. If it works OK ignore it. Most repairs are big bucks !
Land Rover charges the dealer $15,000 for each computer plus $1,000 per year for maintenance. Hence the $150 diag charge.

My a/c fault light, on the a/c control panel, comes on every other time I start my rover up. Dealer wants 150 bucks just to put the computer on it. Wondering if you guys have any ideas.

Maybe if you had to pay $30,000 for a test book, you would appreciate why dealers charge what they do.

This issue is a 15$ fix. Its a blown relay. If you have dirty pollen filters the blower motor works to hard and blows the relay. If you go to any auto part store the part number for the relay is R3020 If you look in the fuse/relay box under the hood passanger side its the first yellow relay. Look for the fan on the map. If you dont change the filters the new one will blow in a week or so. You can also get the filters at any auto part store. I live in MO and they had them at the store in an hour. Your local dealer will tell you that they cant get the relay any other place than at the dealership. Hes a liar. I hope this helps someone.

RE: intermittant a/c fault 1998 HSE Range Rover
ive got a 98 hse and ive noticed similar posts, but no one ever mentions something that is happening in my rr. the book and ! come on, but the temperature(outside) says 32 degrees even when its 100. it takes several minutes and then once the outside temperature is over 34 (even though its actually much warmer outside) the a/c will finally kick on. it has done this in summer and winter, just more unbearable in the summer, when you are trying to cool the car down quickly. it doesnt do it every time, but at least half. any advice would help. a land rover dealer in florida mentioned that there was maybe a recall issue with problem. thanks.
