My MY13 never seems to blow properly hot either, with the dial turned up to full heat and full fan, its only warmish, and its imposibble to get the car to uncomfortably hot. My MY10 had no such problems and was much warmer overall. Mentioned this to the dealers who supposedly tested it, but declared all was fine.

As the weather has warmed up I have not really noticed much of an issue with MY Black 2013 but I must say when we get to the Winter months I will keep a watchful eye. It would be nice if LR were actively investigating this generic concern to see if there is an issue particularly with comments stating a particular controller software issue and gave us some feedback on the forum as there seem to be a few customers that are genuinely concerned with the heater performance on the LR. I wonder if this is something Liam from LR could take away to investigate. e-melnow |

Hi thanks for the feedback it is very interesting. If there is any LR reference that this issue is logged against for the 2013 BLACK/WHITE Model that would help others. I am assuming there must be one that they are investigating against but not sure if it will be openly known at this point. It would be really helpful or just feedback on how things progress. As if there is a manufacturing defect with the heater I guess people would like their one checked out as a minimum if they have concerns and put right if indeed if it will cause issues on that vehicle. e-melnow |

Wonder if Liam or any of his colleagues could keep on eye on this thread for us and give us the nod when the fix appears? Be this software or a component replacement? I've had this fault on occasions but restarting the engine wakes the dials up!! 2013 FL2 - Black Edition Auto

On the first car I rejected it started out as very intermittent, perhaps less than 10% of the time, and yes, restarting the ignition rectified the problem, however, it started to happen far more frequently, in the end more than 50% of the time and restarting the ignition didn't always rectify it when it started to happen so frequently.

I've had mine since last December and to be fair, I wouldn't reject, I'm sure LR will issue a fix at some point.

Just received my car back from the dealer who advised that the fix had been applied and working correctly. They are due to call me in a weeks time just to check that there are no further problems. |

I had the heater checked by my Local dealer about 6 weeks back as experiencing noticable issues with blower stuck on hot now the winter was drawing in again. Turning the temperature dial to blue has no impact. Only after turning the engine off then back on would it start blowing cool. The dealer could not find an issue at the time even though I suggested it was a known issue from the forum and their clear was to reset the heater “not sure how this was done”.

Thanks to L/R and the local dealer my heater issue is now fixed. L/R assisted in bringing item Q349 to the dealerships attention, relating to Low Line HeVAC control module software problem. The fix was to upgrade this software with a new version.
