Well mine certainly heats up the cabin on these cold mornings we've been having lately in a very short time. I would certainly get it checked out with the dealer. ______________________

Interested to hear from those that have had this done. Just how effective is it ? Do you get warm air quickly ?

It has been done on my car but as far as I can tell the car still takes ages to warm up the cabin but not sure what to expect as the recall was done before I purchased the car in late December.


My FL2 was booked into Conwy LR for its first service on Friday 09/01/09 and on Thursday evening on return from the Autosport Show at the NEC the Saftey recall letter was waiting for me, which I took along on the Friday and showed it to the very nice Katie on Service Reception and she arranged for it to be done at the same time as the service and lent me a 08 registered TDV6 to play with for the day.
Te service was duly completed and I returned home. Next morning when the car was started the PTC heater was producing heat within one minute of start up without having to prees the programme button or anything else.

After spending a day with car and the new heater I am probably ready to go back on what I said.
Once the car is up and moving around it seemed to do its job OK. Maybe it is as it was stood still with the engine running... Anyroad.. I wont be taking it back in unless the damp smell it is currently producing when switched on goes away!! Rolling Eyes '57 GS TD4 in Stornoway. Privacy, Leather, Tred Cills.

Scotland 2007 Freelander 2 TD4 SE Manual Zermatt Silver

Hi folks, had my new heater fitted yesterday and this morning used the heater controls to clear the frost (-3) instead of the heated windscreen........brilliant, windscreen started to defrost with warm air in about 30 seconds, for anyone info, had controls on max heat and auto climate control, not specifically directed at screen, just as a kind of test, went short run in veh and much quicker heat up in cabin as well.......far better than before when we were freezing even after a 20 min run!

hope this helps

Mike

............still smiling

Lloyds Landrover Carlisle must have changed a lot in the last few years, they were awful when I used them. Kentdale in Kendal for me in the morning.

England 2007 Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Manual Baltic Blue

it was great to have mine working again when it was minus 3 this morning, without it the car was hardly warm before I finished the 6 mile trip to work. Smile
Stratstone Milton Keynes did it yesterday while I walked into Newport Pagnell and drooled over the Aston Martins parked outside the factory ( or whats left of it).
It took Stratstone somewhat longer than the quoted hour and a half, seems they had a problem. Everything seems to be ok though and I was kept amused watching an electrician and one of the staff failing to sort out a problem with the electricity supply - it seems someone had drilled through a cable. I was also envious of the guy who was having a look at a beautiful black RRS - very nice as long as you don't think about the fuel bills He who dies with the most tools wins!

Had my PTC heater replaced the other day. It warms up much quicker than before, with no user intervention. We've only had the car since October and I assume it had been disconnected before we purchased.

As others have noticed the handbrake was adjusted during the work (I wonder if the PTC removal/re-fitting requires removal of the centre console hence the handbrake re-adjustment?).

I read on string somewhere else that they need to remove the dash!!!! Hope they do not create any other issues I hate garages messing with factory buiolt cars they often create other problems down stream.

United Kingdom 2007 Freelander 2 TD4 XS Manual Sumatra Black

Had mine done yesterday, picked it up late last night but there were a couple of things wrong that I found out on the drive home.

They must take quite a lot of the car apart inside as afterwards I had problems getting into 5th and 6th gear. There seemed to be about 2"s of play when trying to engage these gears.

I took it back today and to their credit they did sort out with an hour. Also the windows didn't close with one touch operation as they used to(also fixed today) and they lost one of my auxilliery power socket covers! (still missing)

Also one spare black screw found laying in the centre console. Annoying......

Andy
