Disco temperature extremes

My D3 has seen 113 degrees of temperature variation in the same location during one (1) year. Can anyone out there top this and by how much?

I got this earlier.. And I'm just heading back out shortly, it may have dropped since then.

I have no photo, but the same D3 that saw 52 in the desert, saw minus 20 in the Alps 6 months later! So thats a 72C variation. I have to say, it handled it all without drama.

2005 Discovery 3 4.4 V8 HSE Auto Tonga Green

unfortunately I might have topped that value a few years back when I realized that Land Rovers do not seem to be tested for rain due to the well known dry climate in the UK

First I noticed several warning sounds during driving and the AC/Heating started to act strange. Next I realized temperature was jumping between the minimal (think -40C) and the max temperature within moments. Probably AC was under the impression I am leaving a heated garage in Sibiria and applied full heating in advance to be prepared.
The good news is that the error combined with an earlier Oil Pressure warning light let me to discover that water was entering behind the plastic on the right side of the windscreen and the problem could be fixed.

So in reality you win as my car was cheating
