Heated seats on fire!!

<< < (3/3)

Range Rover Blues:
You might have misunderstood me there, you can use the fan switch to either turn a fan on or a heater off as the switch is a changeover switch, adjustable :-k

waveydavey:
As a thought don't forget that this could effect your insurance:

If you did get a fire and they inspect the car finding that you have delebrately removed a safety feature then they may very justifiably refuse to pay out

Jonny Boaterboy:
That is a very good point about the insurance and yes, your right, if they found out it was missing I guess they would not pay out........ but...... when I repaired it there was one section that had shorted out and created a small amount of burned foam around the area. It had not started a fire due to the foam been flame retardant and the fact that as soon as the wire had broken the current stopped flowing thus creating its own cut out. So I think the chances of my Range Rover going up in smoke due to not having this safety feature is slim......... There we go I've said it now  :doh: I guess it will be up in flames before Christmas!!!

symlise:
Removing safety features... sounds a bit iffy to me. Maybe consult L.R Technical or give it a full days testing whilst at work !! Any chance of fixing mine if it's successful ??  :-k :grin:

Jonny Boaterboy:
Well the first few road test have been done........... I must say I've got a hot arse! From cold you can probable have them on for about 10 mins after that it get too warm, not to the point of burning but just enough to make you go "that's enough now!" It is nice when you are half way through your journey to have a little boost!

I think taking out the thermal cut out was a good move, yes it does get too hot but not to the point of burning you. If you are like me and like to feel the warmth then it's great as I have allways found heated seats never get warm enough for my liking as they allways cut out too early. That said it is a safety feature and should not be removed.
