your local LR dealer will be the place to go and get it sorted under warranty.

the FBH will 'lock out' if it fails to fire within the set time period, if yours hasn't been used for some time, this could be the cause (along with many other things). It is possible to reset it yourself, on the FBH there are three connectors, one goes to the electric water pump adjacent to the heater ( two wires) one has a larger connector with four wires in it ( I think) and underneath that there is another connector with two wires, this is the power connector, with the vehicle switched off and keys removed, disconnect the power connector for 30 seconds or more. If the connector is difficult to remove, disconnect the battery - although you will then have to reset the clock and the audio unit tone settings

unless the external temperature is low enough - you can't without WDS or IDS ( dealer only) - unless you fool the temperature sensor it's behind the front bumper in the centre, a few minutes with some ice should do it!

The other night...sub zero in tescos car park. Mrs F though that the car was on fire because of the wisps of smoke coming from under the bonnet. Very new hot smell as well obviously...first time the said gismo had fired...Told her to ignore it since the car was well insured...!!! ... oops... They look like S**t when covered in S**t - All except the Silver ones of course.....
