Mmm.
As I read it, resetting a lockout could be possible via the timer. ..so what can I fiddle with today that ain't broken ...?

Hi All.
FBH looks like its not working.....no smoke...and takes longer to warm up than my 1992 110 CSW 
Is it worthwhile taking it back to the main stealer as its still under warranty?
OR....
If I pay for the upgrade code on my Hawk Eye would this work on it?
Help..I'm running out of warm socks 
PS - I assume i can find some info on fitting a remote controlled power up switch (vs the GSM option?)

I saw no telltale white smoke last week, but had no time to check - I was starting to think the FBH was a non-starter and was due for a trip to the garage within 2 weeks of picking up my 54 plate D3, but it was just cold enough at the weekend and ... yes... I can feel the heat!!

mines been on quite a few times, and it has'nt switched off either, which means as I understand it the burner is operating on low power mode until it does get above 5C, which hasnt happened for a while    2007 TDV6 HSE 'Silver Lady'. With 'free' privacy glass LOL.

Below 6deg:
engine 85deg (normal temp) FBH running around 2Kw.
If you get stuck in traffic/engine ticking over the FBH will probably go to full burner (5Kw) to keep the engine at normal temp.
Without it, at tickover the engine will not get to normal op temp. ..so what can I fiddle with today that ain't broken ...?

For the first time in 15+ months of ownership the FBH came on today. I had the fault cleared last winter.....but it failed to fire up the next day. So last week I had some work done including the EGR blanking and had the FBH faults cleared....and today was the first time it's worked in anger

Find a Weasto dealer near you.
All landrover will do is send to the nearest webasto to you if it requires parts.

Three exhaust plumes as wifey drove off to school this morning.  Knowing my luck though, I've got a hole in the left manifold.....

IS it wrong to become addicted to the smell of paraffin?
