Hi. Just as we get to cooler weather, I’ve noticed that my FL 1 05 heater produces very little heat even when heater dial on max. What should I be looking at, please?

Good news is you can leave it alone and fit an in-line stat into the car, which will let it run up to 1/2 on the temp gauge in no time, and give you a nice toastie heater output

Here is how I did mine.

Freelander 1 - Fuel Burning Heater - still on with temperature normal SOLVED

Some clarification please. My FBH runs at 5 degrees or below which is correct. When the car is fully warmed up and outside temperature still below 5 degrees it still runs. Reading RAVE, the internal FBH ECU should detect the coolant temperature and then control the FBH as required. Do I have...
