Iam suprised at how many FBH activations we have had accross the UK I didnt think it had been cold enough. None though yet in Yorkshire, I put that down to the warmth and generosity us northerners are famous for up here ! Rolling with laughter

Russell - How do you set your blowers to come on with the FBH ?

D4 is slightly diffrent as it has been designed like that, can heat and vent for hot and cold days Mr. Green Thumbs Up
Having said that, if you fit the timer kit to the D3 and set it to fire up 20 minutes before you go out to the car, the engine should be warmed up and in theory you should get warm air out of the vents as soon as you start the car. I realise the car will not be warm when you get in it but it should have warm air coming out of the vents as soon as you start it Thumbs Up an improvment on driving down the road for 7/8 miles before getting any warm air

Hit the remote for mine last week on a couple of mornings as I fired up the coffee machine. Bliss. Thumbs Up
 I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

Mine started yesterday morning when i went out about half 6, didnt notice what the temp was, i knew it worked because it came on a couple of weeks ago and frightened the life out of me until i grabbed the manual from the glove box and read about it.

England 2012 Discovery 4 3.0 SDV6 XS Auto Orkney GreyDiscovery 4

Mine fired up on Saturday am at around 2 degrees. There was a reasonable frost around that morning in sunny Manchester. Quite reassuring to see the smoke etc as it had been playing up last winter. I'm still not sure whether it needs the 'Econ' setting to be off for it to work does anyone have a definitive answer?

Mine's been firing up daily for the last two weeks, exactly half an hour before I get in Mr. Green

Still no activations in Yorkshire Big Cry
I can confirm that on my MY2005 base spec, the FBH will not fire up in economy mode.

Mina may or may not have fired up. I haven't seen it for 3 weeks as it has been on holiday at the dealers having a new sat nav unit fitted.

No activation of mine so far (Essex, and Norfolk). Doubt it's got down to 7 degrees yet though, pretty sheltered where we are.
