What is this? - XFullFatTim - 31-03-2011 11:07am
In the spec sheet I have there is an "Electrical Positive Temperature Coefficient Heater" on all models ....................... is this what us RR regulars call the FBH (Fuel Burning Heater)? ie the engine pre heater that comes on automatically at 5c or below to speed cabin warm up and reduce cold start emissions on cold mornings?

Looks to me (based on a quick google) like its just a heater for the cabin...rather than relying on the temperature of the engine to heat the car.
