I was a bit disappointed with the standard electrically powered PTC heater on the few cold mornings we have had since Febraury down here in the Central Belt, I expected it to warm up the cabin much quicker than it does.
Hi Tim,how do you turn the standard PTC heater on?

Broadsword - just like any other car! Either adjust the temperature of the climate control up to 25/26 or switch the rapid defrost on. I found that the heated seats and steering wheel were much more effective on frosty mornings than the PTC system, which was originally supposed to be instant heating as it doesn't rely on coolant temperature to heat the incoming air.

I got today confirmation from Local Webasto import company. The additional heater is Webasto made. Unfortunately there is no aftermarket parts (C-kit?) available to use it for pre drive heating. They just recommended to ask LR about it.

Peter Bell (Forum Sponsor BAS) used to offer a system that made the Disco3 built in cabin heater timed and R/C, I think he has already left you a post to contact him, he may be able to offer you something that will help you. Pete also owns an Evoque
