Land Rover Repair: front seat heater, heated seat problems, heating element

Question
I have a 2000 DII.  The passenger seat will not heat up.  Is it a matter of changing out the heating element on the consel panel?

Answer
Hi Rosie,

first, you have to determine where the problem is seated ... ouch. Is it a fuse problem, a switch problem, element failure?

Element failures are common and, if that is the case, you'd have to replace the element under the seat.  Apparently, the heating element can short out and the only fix is to replace it.

Don't worry, Rangie or Disco...they're the same when it comes to heating the... seat. :)

And here's an excellent article on the seat element repair:
