Reset FBH
It was 2 degree's today and my Fuel Burning Heater didn't kick it. How do you reset it again. I removed the fuse (no 28 or 29 I think), as I couldn't get the power connector out of the heater (how is it locked in).
Are there any other fuses I need to check. I guess the dealer can fire it up with the diagnostic tool.
Thanks

Mine didn't work at -1degree. Have LR issues a software release to disable it completely?

Returned the D3 loaner I had whilst The Red Dwarf was having a new front axle fitted. And its heater never kicked in well I never noticed the smoke, having said that she warmed up quite quickly.

Maybe they smoke less with age on the older ones and the newer ones are cleaner ??? Dunno, seems all very strange and Land Roverish to me

Mine worked at 5 degree's the other day and even if it doesn't smoke much you can feel the hot gas out of the exhaust by the front passenger wheel.
I will phone the dealer now.

Mine worked at 0 deg this morning, and warmed up quite quickly considering. I have to agree that I would really miss it if it wasn't working, at 6 degrees as normal, it doesn't kick in, and coolant takes an eternity to warm up. I wish it would operate at anything below about 10 deg c really.
Mine worked last friday when I took SWMBO shopping, you could smell it when I opened the door.... the FBH not the SWMBO

Mine worked, no smoke though? - could hear it humming after I'd switched off and could feel hot gas

Dealer told me to check in the morning and if it doesn't work take it in.

Well, had a play with the wires at lunch time, and result, got home tonight, after 2 miles non stop car at full temp and exhaust pipe for FBH hot, so guess it is working

It was 2 degrees this morning and I don't think my FBH worked - however, I've never seen one working so how can I (easily) tell
