It only runs with a running engine. And it will also only start if you have not pushed the ECON button before engine start or the system switched OFF completely.
But once the engine is running and you unselect ECON it should start heating until the coolant has reached around 75�.


Anyone got any more info. on what (if anything) the ECON button has to do with the FBH ?

Luxembourg 2007 Discovery 3 TDV6 HSE Auto Java BlackDiscovery 3

I tested it at my car a couple of weeks ago.

With "econ" button active, so switch of the ac, the FBH starts with timer/gsm and during a drive.

With "econ" button passive, so with ac on, exactly the same! Makes no different regarding function FBH.


On the other hand, there are cars where the fuse trick is also not working...... I guess that this has something to do with each other.

So, new (to me) MY07 D3, wasn't convinced FBH was firing at all, so went to pull CB28, and lo and behold it isn't there? Vacant..? Would there be a valid reason for it not being present (apart from it having fallen out..!). I'm guessing that would be my first port of call...track down a circuit breaker!

I don't know why, but I'm not holding out much hope. Struggling to understand why it would be missing in first place unless previous owner knew it would perhaps mask an issue? As you can tell, I'm an eternal optimist... Confused

Some owners have removed them through nothing more than ignorance.

This could be a really cheap fix!

I wish I could bottle some of Robbie's optimism.....

Fuse 28 fitted with new 20A fuse. FBH didn't fire in +4 deg C. Full tank of fuel, cold engine. Looks like I get to join the club after all....grrr.

Anyone near Stamford Lincs who's been through this? Already ordered Martins loom for diagnosis...!

Whilst I am in Lincolnshire I consider Lincoln to be quite far south and by Sleaford it feels really odd.

Although that could just be Sleaford.

The diagnostic lead and software is probably your best bet and there is load of advice on here when you get the diagnostics going.

I'm sure Sleaford belongs to one very different county/planet/solar system.

Thanks. Will keep you pipped... Thumbs Up
