Anyone else experience a climate control that is just too warm? I don't think I've ever set my dials above 65. Sometimes I have to get down in the low 60s for it to blow cool air. I get different cars being off a bit and having to adjust to how one works over another, but this seems way off.

I've also noticed a very strong gas smell through the air vents after the engine warms up and I'm stopped at a traffic light. Probably going to wind up taking it in for that.

 

I don't have either of those problems.

 

What is the temp where you're located? In my area where it's below 40 consistently this time of year I find myself putting it at around 77. The seats and wheels get hotter than I prefer, but climate control works decently enough.

 

 

I do have the auto-climate set to (something like) Quiet & Calm. So maybe your blower is just working harder than mine.

 

I'm starting to think our Discoveries are twins. First the InControl Remote app seat issue and now this!

Actually, my wife's Range Rover climate control runs the same way. She normally has it sent to 62-ish because, otherwise, there's a lot of heat. I briefly had a 2018 Range Rover Sport that also needed to be set to the low-60s. So, for better or worse, I think they run this way.

I get a "burnt" smell when I come to a stop and the engine is warm. I was hoping it was some kind of protective coating that would burn off. I have 700 miles on the car, so I don't know if that theory will hold water.

 

I'm not quite to 400 mi. yet, but keep thinking the same thing... surely something "new" is just wearing off, although I've never had a smell like this on any other new car (incl. other LRs). I've actually hit the recirculate button a time or two because it can be pretty strong.

 

I live in MN and have to turn mine down even when it was -20 outside. I don't mind that, helps when it is snowing to stop icing up from occurring.

 

Now that you say that same here...I thought it was just me. If I set it at 70 it stays hot, until I turn it down....
