On the plus side the weather is improving, so you won't need it by the time they get the vehicle back to you |

Seems there would be a great opportunity for someone on here that could take our cars and sort out these FBH problems, surprised no one has offered their services

These units seem to be similar to the units used on our diesel trains.

I know I'm four years late on this, but somebody may be able to make use of what I have discovered. The FBH will only work if the battery voltage is high enough - otherwise there is a risk the FBH flattens the battery and you won't be able to start the car. Yes - I guess you already know this. I presume that the heating designers have erred on the cautious side and set the voltage threshold on the high side.

Mine is not kicking in at the moment. I’m going to put the car on the Ctek tonight to see what it’s like in the week. I guess that the voltage is a bit low. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

You can do a simple basic check. Use a battery charger to be certain the battery is fully charged. If the FBH is OK, then it should start and run with no problems. If it won't start, then there are only three possibilities: the battery is on its way out, the FBH is faulty, or there is no fuel supply to the FBH. My experience of Webastos is that they are very reliable - apart from the water circulation pump. Give them fuel and a 12v supply and they invariably work fine. If it starts and runs for just a few minutes then shuts down, put your hands on the heater pipes to see how hot they are. If they are hot, then the chance is the water circulation pump has failed. The built-in temperature switch will have detected the water getting too hot and will shut the heater down. |

It was the battery. Land rover admitted they had a bad batch of batteries, they had changed mine three times.

Guys don't forget the FBH won't work if fuel level is too low.
