Llanigraham Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 There was for the old L series diesel, but not heard of one for the Td4. Most people say they are very good, especially with the Fuel Burning Heater as well. In the recent cold spell mine has been hot within 6 miles. Are you sure your thermostat is working properly?

zeroland Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I have the same problem with my TD4 but as yet not investigated the reason why it's not working. The heated seats (Good LR mod) work well though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tag60 Posted December 19, 2008 Author Share Posted December 19, 2008 hi thanks for the reply took thermostat out and tested in hot water found to be ok i think i have 2 problems with cooling side when i looked under bonnet with engine running found that fans are running all the time (vehicle has no air con) so i think that is the first part mine is a x reg 2001 year has it got a Fuel Burning Heater ? if so where can i find it and can i test it? i believe there is a ecu to control the cooling side mounted on the radiator itself (right hand side) is there a way to test this regards david Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white90 Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Look under the N/s front from underneath you'll see the small bore exhaust in front of wheel behind headlight area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustymark Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 If you find you have a FBH then you can 'test' it if you're not sure its working but you will need a can of compressed air....why i hear you all ask! 1stly get your compressed air (must be an aerosol not from compressor) - i find computer air duster is excellent. 2 Locate the temperature switch behind the off side lower bumper grill. It looks like a small cylinder on a bracket. 3 Turn your engine on 4 Turn the air duster aerosol upside down - be careful now - and aim the aerosol at the sensor. 5 The aerosol will throw out its liquid contents, which evaporate, and freeze. This cools the sensor 6 The heater then thinks B me its cold and switches in after a few moments! If you get really brave and decide to investigate the FBH further DO NOT disconect the wires to it whilst it is in operation - it is designed to run with its own cool down cycle and will continue to run after you switch off the engine for a short time.
