How cold do you want it to be, "it's a car Jim not a fridge"

Maybe 18 degrees is cold where you are but its certainly not considered cold here

Sorry, was only being funny...

So what should the temperature reading be on a freshly charged aircon set to minimum temperature?

Just found this on another site which means im wrong, off to phone a dealer

I was at my Land Rover dealer yesterday and purchased a new pollen filter, (part number JKR500020 $61.31 Canadian plus tax). They said the air flow is down into the fan which to me makes sense. More interestingly, what that there is a bit of a trick to installing the filter. Yes, it just slides in, but then one has to tip the near side, (edge nearest to filter door), of the filter upwards to friction fit into a rectangular opening where it is supposed to reside, (friction fit). That surprised me as the filter I removed, (the upside down one), was just sitting horizontally in the space and seemed to fit farily well there. It appears however that the instructions I received from the dealer were correct as when tipped the long edge of the filter upwards, it did lodge into place at an angle, (via friction fit). I will keep an eye on it as other than friction, nothing actually holds the filter in place. There did however seem to be a use for the little tab of filter paper that the arrow markings are on. Once the filter is lodged up in place, it is that tab of paper that you latch onto to remove the filter. Other than that, you would be scratching with your fingernails to pull out the filter. Any commments would be appreciated as I am still somewhat uncertain of all this - maybe too easy, but still a bit tricky - not obvious in any way to my mind, and nothing in the Owner manuals either other than to say that vehicles with certain packages have a pollen filter.
