L405
Rather than join the RR forum just to ask a question, I was hoping someone here could help me out.
A good mate has a L405. He has heated seats which work perfectly but the dial you use to turn them on also controls cooled seats. It shows the cooling side but nothing happens.
Without pulling his car apart to see, is it normal for it to show the cooling side even if cooling elements aren't fitted? 110 D250 SE HT

Hello


I would be surprised if they use the same dial if the option was not ticked, so it would only move right say for heat and show red dots and not move at all the other way.

If it does move the other way for cooled seats, and turns blue, does the cars own A/C work? it may need a re-gas as I think it runs through this.

Has he ever noticed the seats get cool? I have the option in mine but cannot remember if it was an additional option or with a Pack, so heated wheel, jets, etc...


there is probably a VIN number look up you can see options somewhere

Is the cooling system similar to the L663 system. So not AC related rather a heated/cooled plate thing that then blows hot or cold depending on the position of the switch.
Will check but I think his AC system works fine 110 D250 SE HT

On Defender the Dial moves both ways but only shows the blue lines if the option was ticked, I’m assuming RR is the same? Were they standard on RR? 24MY 90 D250 HSE, Tasman Blue

Just spoken to the owner of the casr, she says

I get blue dots but they don't turn on but when I twist the dial but the red dot does.

So I'm assuming from this the blue dot illuminates but there is now cooling effect.

From my quick research it seems the cooling elemnts are expensive and a pain to replace. 110 D250 SE HT

Sounds like she has the option fitted it's just not working

Your correct. Pain to do and can be £££ for parts.

Suggest some frost from the garden as cheap fix. Cheers

Sounds like a plan, she has decided that cooled seats isn't worth the effort of ££££s. 110 D250 SE HT
