Land Rover Part Number: LR020952 - Heater Matrix - Less Radiator
LR020952 is a Heater Matrix - Less Radiator. Fitted within the heater box of the heater and air conditioning assembly on Defender models, this matrix forms the internal heat exchanger. Engine coolant is routed through the core's network of tubes and fins so air drawn across the matrix picks up heat before entering the passenger compartment, restoring designed heater performance when the original core has failed.

The LR020952 heater matrix transfers thermal energy from engine coolant into the vehicle cabin via the heater and air conditioning assembly. Common failure modes include coolant leaks from corroded cores, internal blockages that reduce heat output, or contamination that causes damp odours or wet carpets; replacing the core restores coolant containment and heater performance.
