I have a 10 plate disco 4 with the factory fitted timed climate, it seems to have stopped working
1, i press the remote fob and the heater starts up making a noise but does not fire, no smoke from inner wheel arch and the auto light on the dial inside the car does not flash
2, sometimes but not all the time the timed climate option on the main menu screen is not lit up its there but all greyed out and i cannot get into the settings it doesnt do anything when i press the screen
3 been reading on here and spoke to Ent tried removing fuse 28 with the ignition on but no different any ideas anyone its taking ages for the car to warm up in a morning bali blue disco 4 with rear dvd's, privacy glass, pre heat system, heated steering wheel, full size spare, piano black trim, ipod cable, 20 inch wheels and i love it loads more than my TDV8 RRS, KTM 250 EXC 2 Stroke for the real off road stuff

I have factory fitted timed & remote, but not noticed same as yourself - sorry! mine fires every time (B*gger thats the jinx now)
I only use the remote & have not noticed any auto light flashing inside the car, but I will have a look tomorow (or Monday) for the light - I'll also have a look at the timed climate screen to see what that shows when its running if that helps.

It does sound odd if I'm honest, it sounds like a config error but that would not cause it to work sometimes and sometimes not.
It may be worth trying to ask them to reload the Asbuilt data with SSD.

I have had a similar fault for over a year and no one can fix it!!
I don't have timed climate installed, but when the weather gets below 5degrees within the parameters for the fuel burning heater to start, I get a message on the Nav screen that says: "Timed Climate not available, check fuel level and battery"
When this message comes up the FBH does not start. The car takes ages to warm and doesn't run very well for probably 10 mins until properly hot.
I am convinced this is a battery management system problem......the car thinks the battery is too low to start anything but essential systems, sometimes when this fault occurs the heated screens don't come on either.
Q93 had an upgrade for the drivers seat memory module software that made it shut down much quicker, as it was staying active for too long and reducing the surface charge of the battery. I believe this part of Q93 has been modified a couple of times since it's original release, and LR technical have told my repairing dealer to do this upgrade again to try to sort out the problem. This did not work. Car is going to a dealer next week and LR's Regional Technical Manager is supposed to be going to look at the car then.2011 D4 Landmark, Mini Cooper SD Clubman, Range Rover Vogue SE

Just noticed Pete's suggestion regarding Asbuilt data.
LR technical also suggested this to the dealer and this was tried, but did not work either.2011 D4 Landmark, Mini Cooper SD Clubman, Range Rover Vogue SE

I've Pete's activation of the FBH, twice now inc this morning it is reporting unavailable and to check battery and fuel levels, fuel is fine as it's 3/4 full so I'm guessing battery. it's only happened after the car has not been used for 24 hours or more, ie works day 1 at 8.30 am, day 2 car not used but FBH does run OK at 8.30am , Day 3 fbh does not work at 8.30 am and attempts to make it gives fuel/ battery error
Also noted the engine is very rough for 10 mons or so
Car is April '10 build, no dealer updates doneMark
