Sounds like the climate control valve might be stuck open.

Welcome to the forum Paul, I moved your double-post out of the other thread, no need to put the same question in multiple places.

Sounds to me like the old problem of the heater matrix blocking up. Happens a lot and always affects the drivers side.

You can try backflushing the heater matrix, or in the worst case it needs to be replaced.

My XJR has this issue and has done for a few years, and a number of people have reported similar. Always the drivers side, regardless if it's a RHD or LHD car.
