For what its worth I had an 04 reg FL1 with a Webasto FBH situated in the LHS front wheel arch (no fog lamps as there wasn't space for both) I suppose it is likely that LR used the same device for FL2s. In my case I found that it never switched off and I believe that a sensor must have failed but I never managed to find where it was located on the FL1. Have you checked the air temperature sensor if you know where it is? 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

Interesting you say there was no space for fog lamps and the fuel burning heater on the fl1, mine had both. The temperature sensor was on the back of the front bumper crash bar on the fl1. |

Interesting comment I remember mentioning it to a guy at the dealers and he said that it wasn't possible to order a car with both on so I wonder your FL1 was an aftermarket mod to fit the fog lamps. I always suspected that my Webasto was going all of the time towards the end of my ownership but I never managed to locate the sensor, I was going to install an override switch on the dashboard. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

My 2nd Freelander 1 was a 2004 facelift model and it had both front foglamps and FBH. It was an SE model with loads of "luxury" extras from the factory such as cruise control, Becker satnav, powerfold mirrors, reversing sensors, heated leather seats and a heated windscreen. I fitted a remote control and timer set up bought from Ebay that allowed the FBH to be used as a parking heater that could be programmed to come on at a set time to heat up the interior of the car on a frosty morning. Very handy in the winter! |

I remember on the forums how, come the first cold weather, there would be a rash of cries for help from people worrying that there was smoke coming from the front wheel arch. Pretty scary if you didn't know about it. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

Mine was an SE too, I certainly remember plenty of space behind there when I fitted the optional driving lamp kit. |
