Couple of questions ?????

Had my Rangie Rover for a few days now and I'm finding a few minor niggles so thought I'd ask if anyone know if they are easy fixes.

1st off is the heater/Ac control panel is only illuminated on one side. Is this common? Also I've had the heater control panel out and it looks lik eit needs to be taken apart to replace any bulbs, anyone don this?

2nd Half of the OBC display is dimer than the other. I know on other cars this is not repairable, is it the same on a range Rover? Is this possibly just another bulb?

3rd (and last for now) My heated seats don't seem to be heating, not sure how long they take as I've never had them before. Both switches illuminate and a relay can be heard clicking in when the button is pressed, anyone know if there is fuse I can check or which plugs I can check to test the continuity of the elements?

Thanks

Same with mine. I've not looked into my problem but had the same on a Jag a few years back and when I had the seat out it was just a break at the solder joint on the element. All the movement up and down must have stressed it.

On mine I don't hear the engine speed change like I do when I put the heated screen on.

I've done a bit of looking into it. There are a few articles on replacing the elements, some which mention by passing the seat element and running on only the lumber part.
There are fuses located within the Body electrical control module, but im not sure if these are easily accesible.
I'm going to look into it tomorrow with the multimeter. Was hoping for a few pointers to get me started.
