Hi guys. Well I have a 2004 TD4 also (Sport), which lacks heated seats/screen amongst other things. But I had a look to see if the wiring is intact but 'disabled' by LR fitting blanking plates. If not, then maybe danboy775 and I are in luck?!
Why? Because, I wondered if too I could 'enable' my heated seats/screen in my vehicle, by simpling purchasing functioning switches from LR and maybe a new alternator.
1) By pulling off LH heated seat blanking plate it revealed:
A wired LR heated seat socket I am hoping this is a simple job to switch LR blanking plate for heated seat switch from the dealers.
(SEE: LH_Heated_Seat_Blank1.jpg and LH_Heated_Seat_Blank2.jpg)
2) I then moved on to pull off the RH heated seat blanking plate and it revealed not so much, but thankfully not nothing.
Tucked away was a blue plug but with
no LR socket attached to the back of the blanking plate like the other side of the vehicle. Will need to remove centre console to access at least.
(SEE: RH_Heated_Seat_Blank1.jpg and RH_Heated_Seat_Blank2.jpg)
3) Finally I pulled off the heated windscreen blanking plate and it revealed yet another
wired LR socket.
Possibly another simple job to switch blanking plate for heated switch and 'enable' the front windscreen de-icing function I hope?

What this all means in turns of getting instant heated seats/screen who knows. I know nothing about mechanics, electrics or Freelanders. I'll see if I can buy some switches ASAP and hopefully I won't blow the car up. Maybe I'd better check the part no: of the existing alternator! Also I'm thinking if there are any relays hidden away or need to be added. I vaguely remember reading
on another thread for the electric screen it was accessed under the front wind-screen wipers under the plastic cowling. However if the wires are already in place, maybe no need.
Hope the photos are of some use to people guessing if their vehicle can be 'upgraded' to most of the HSE/Sport Premium spec with a few switches because LR kindly left the wiring in-place.
The next job is to check under the seats to 'feel' for some wires that would be going to the heating elements,(I'd have to fit switches anyway irrespective of the outcome of that).
